Rick Stein 'knocked out' by customer as he admits 'there were a lot of fights' Celebrity chef Rick Stein recently opened up about a particularly jarring encounter from his past, recalling the time he was "knocked out cold" by an irate customer.
The incident came to light in an episode of Rick Stein's Cornwall, which viewers can catch on BBC iPlayer, where Rick reminisces over his formative years.
Rick has always had a passion for music; he played bass guitar in a band during his school days, before starting a disco named Purple Tiger at university.
"Forgive me, I'd like to take you on a trip down memory lane to where it all began over 50 years ago in Padstow," said Rick.
It wasn't all smooth sailing; confrontations were common, and Rick often found himself trying to settle disputes personally, which didn't always go well.
