Tiredness, inattention, haste, misplaced bravado; spills, splashes, flashes, slippy tea towels - just a handful of explanations for the scarring that graces the arms of chefs in kitchens everywhere. These are photos of chefs I know and the scars they've accumulated over the years while working their trade.
Created with flickr slideshow.
Feel free to submit photos; this will be an ongoing project where I'll add more shots as they come to hand, so I'll probably move this to the sidebar. These all hurt...
Ouch! Its always the tender inside part of the arm. For some reason the whites I used to be issued were long sleeve (not ideal for the heat of the kitchen) that, risk of burns or not, were altered to be a little cooler.
ReplyDeleteNigel, I feel you/their pain.
ciao,

Mary! Yeah, they're nasty. I've had a good run lately, until last Thursday when I was deep-frying some oysters & the buggers spat at me - two blisters later...
