A cut, a burn, a broken plate - what’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made in the kitchen? A dropped pancake? Burned chicken? How about a bad smelling chicken in the Amazon jungle with 600 people waiting to eat? Over the past few years we’ve been asking some of the world’s best chefs to share with us a story about a time they really messed up in the kitchen, a mistake they made that will live with them forever.
It’s easy for us to forget that chefs, the ones who execute work every day that pursues perfection, make mistakes, but they do. In fact, speak with any of the world’s great chefs and they’ll tell you that the mistakes are more important than the successes.
The next chef to reveal their Chef Mistake is the French chef Jacques Reymond who has spent much of his career wowing the palates of lucky diners in Australia.
Reymond has had a star studded career but in the video above he recounts a story that would scare any chef.
