'Dropped 24 crème brûlée [dishes] at the last step of a staircase': 25+ Chefs discuss the biggest mistakes they've ever made in the kitchen

No one's perfect at their job, mistakes do happen. When you're a chef, however, any cooking mistake is going to effect a lot of dishes, and therefore a lot of customers!

Chefs, bakers, and waiters gathered to share their funniest stories of food prep gone wrong, and the results are eye-opening and hilarious. It's a good look at the behind the scenes life of a restaurant. I never thought about what might happen if you had to make 40 pecan and pumpkin pies, and then burnt them all! It's a major mistake that cost that person's restaurant hundreds of dollars, plus the waste of time and energy. When you have so many people to feed, you have to cook in big batches. Other people shared stories of adding salt instead of sugar to desserts — if you've ever had that happen, you'll never forget the nasty surprise when you bit into the food!

Next, these customers thought they were so clever, but they weren't smarter than the cashiers who caught them in their schemes.
