today's special
Chef's daily highlight
Today's special is a dish featured by a restaurant for a limited time, typically one day.
It often uses fresh or seasonal ingredients the kitchen wants to move, or showcases the chef's creativity outside the regular menu: The server described today's special—a pan-seared salmon with spring vegetables.
The phrase extends to any temporarily featured item: Today's special at the dealership was zero-percent financing.
