'My teacher asked me to order 60 cans of peas… I typed 6000': 25+ Chefs share the biggest, funniest mistakes they ever made while cooking for customers

If you mistake salt for sugar in your recipe, it's no big deal. But if a chef does it while making a five gallon soup recipe, there's going to be some problems!

Help yourself to a serving of these funny stories from chefs who were humbled by their own kitchen mishaps. We're all human, we all make mistakes every now and again. There are just some jobs where this is more acceptable than others. For example, if you're a FailBlog writer, it's okay if you make a mistake or three. Now, if you're an open heart surgeon or an airplane pilot, there is much less room for error. Chefs fall somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. They work around fire and oil, hot grill temperatures, sharp knives, and slippery floors, and lots of chefs are overworked too, so you can add sleepiness to the mix. Oh, and not to mention that kitchens can be a crowded place! All of this is a recipe for mishaps (pun intended).

Scroll down to read all of these deliciously funny workplace mistakes. Then, check out a different type of workplace story: this manager demanded everyone on his team needed to start a daily meeting at 8:30 AM sharp, and he keeps showing up late.
