Iron Cheffage

Chef Masaharu Morimoto has almost completely recovered from a severe wrist injury; after surgery and six months of physical therapy, including practicing with a rubber knife, Morimoto can now cut fish with only mild swelling. The Iron Chef broke his wrist in a hot tub/wet deck incident, and says he knew right away it was broken: "I thought, 'What if I can't go back to the kitchen?' My wrist is very important to me – it's my world, my job, my life." [People via Eater National]
