Oops

From Wikipedia:

The Bocuse d'Or is one of the world's most prestigious cooking competitions, held in France every two years, and is often referred to as the Olympics of cooking. Kaysen was the U.S. candidate for the 2007 finals. While other issues caused problems for Kaysen at the Bocuse d'Or, the main failing was caused by a dish-washing assistant. Kaysen prepared a wheel-shaped ballotine of chicken, inlaid with chicken liver, foie gras, and Louisiana crayfish. Two of the side dishes were missing. Mistaking two chicken wings intended for the platter as rejects, the dishwasher had eaten them. Kaysen placed fourteenth.
