Chef's Mistakes

As every cook knows, mistakes happen. Like using the wrong type of pasta, or a sauce being a bit too spicy … or not spicy enough. We hate wasting good food so when this happens in our kitchen, we label those meals as Chefs’ Mistakes and sell them at a knock-down price.

Check out the meals below and see how tasty an error can be!
