Chef Paul Prudhomme does have some magic. 

The legendary Louisiana chef and restauranteur was setting up a cooking tent at the Zuirch Classic of New Orleans golf tournament last Tuesday morning when he felt a sting on his right arm just above the elbow. Prudhomme thought he’d been stung by a bee, but after shaking out his clothing, found a .22 caliber bullet fall out of his shirt!

A Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s spokesman said it appears Prudhomme was struck by the falling bullet and speculated that it was fired within a 1 1/2 mile radius of the golf course. Though the bullet grazed the skin on Prudhomme’s arm and left a hole in his white chef’s coat Prudhomme required no medical attention and, within five minutes, was back to cooking.
