Woo.. thats tough.. I know I would react very poorly in that situation if I had to make the decision without forethought.
Thinking it through rationally, I think the best option is to sit down with your current boss. Basically re-read this post to him; you don't think you've got much to learn, you want to become a more prominent chef and need experience elsewhere, you've enjoyed working there but sometimes felt like he was taking sides, etc.. etc. While he may disagree, I know that he'll be more than happy to give you your recommendation and transfer your hours if you've given him a solid reason that he can empathasize with (once being an apprentice chef himself, I assume).
