​As of right now we are three people- all in the culinary industry- who are very passionate about the career we have chosen, and we are passionate about seeing a change in the status quo of the culture in the restaurant/culinary world. 86 The Quo is a movement created to start tackling and raising awareness of some major issues that surround the restaurant industry. Although, the issues that we deal with in this industry are not exclusive to our industry, we are specifically reaching out to our fellow culinarians because this is our chosen career. The issues that 86 The Quo will be talking about are: age and gender equality, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health, and sexual harassment.

We are here to educate, raise awareness, and have conversations about these major issues that the majority of us have experienced in one form or another. We hope that you will come alongside us, join in conversation, and share your own personal stories or hardships that you have experienced working in the culinary world. 86 The Quo is a judgement free zone- we are non-religious, non-political, and we hope that you will feel safe joining in on discussions and sharing solutions you may have to help change some of these "Norms" in this industry.
