OUCH!!!!! That sounds painful. The worst kitchen mishap I ever had was while I was training to be a manager for the restaurant chain I worked with. Every manager does 4 weeks of kitchen training. One night around the end of my training the head chef for the entire company was at our store to do an inspection and check-in. I was working in the saute section making pasta dishes and this required us to often cut up chicken to place on top of the pasta. I was feeling a little too confident in my knife skills and while he was standing in the expo area I was trying to show my "skills". I ct a piece of chicken a little too fast and ended up taking a big chunk out of my hand. I quickly looked at my partner for the night and excused myself to the back so I could bleed in peace. LOL Stillhave the scar to remind me.
