Food related...
This guy was telling me how some years ago he worked in a very nice restaurant in California somewhere. A top-flight chef worked there. A young guy (18 years old) worked there too, and he had a life-long ambition of being a master chef. As such, he worked very hard at his job and was your proverbial "model employee." The senior chef took notice, appreciating the kid's hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm.
One day the senior chef invited the young guy to accompany him to some sort of food or cooking show, kind of as a treat in recognition of his hard work. They go to the event, later the chef drops the kid off at home...
The next day, the kid does not show up for work. Everybody was baffled, as this was highly unusual for this hard-working employee. A few hours later, they get the news as to the reason why. Apparently, at the food show, they featured a lot of interesting shell fish dishes, of which they happily partook. Turns out the kid had a severe allergy to shell fish - which neither he nor the older chef were ever even aware of. So, apparently he died later that night after being dropped off at home, due to a severe allergy attack.
The entire kitchen staff was shocked by this news, and the senior chef was particularly devastated. The guy telling me this said the kitchen could barely function for a whole week.
