86'D THE STIGMA Tee – Chef Mental Health Awareness Shirt
Remove the shame. Break the silence. 86 the stigma.
In the kitchen, "86'd" means it's off the menu—gone, removed, done. It's time we 86'd the stigma around chef mental health too.
This tee is for the chefs who've been in the weeds, felt the burn, and are ready to speak up. For the ones who know that asking for help isn't weakness—it's strength. For everyone who believes the people who nourish us deserve to be nourished too.
Wear your mission. Start the conversation.
