Stressed out chef threatens to shoot waitress

Smoking gunIt's easy to get stressed out at work, especially when your job is running the kitchen of a busy restaurant.

The trick is to stay calm and collected and not let the pressure get to you. But this is clearly easier said than done.

A chef in the US state of Florida got so stressed out over too many mozzarella caprese salad orders that he pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot the waitress who had taken them.

Mark DeCraepeo slammed the gun on a counter and screamed: "I'll put a bullet right in your forehead. I am serious."

Another shocked waitress called the cops to the Pizza Time restaurant in Boca Raton (the town incidentally also home to Gordon Ramsay's Cielo restaurant). They arrested DeCraepeo who now faces up to three years in prison.

Ever remorseful he told police: "It was my Gordon Ramsay moment."

It's great to see what a wonderful inspiration Ramsay has become to our industry.
