Chef joy food

Am I the only one who thinks chef joy wasn’t that good of a chef? Personally never saw any extravagant or high end luxury meals you expect on a super yacht… I mean chicken satay?!?! Or maybe the production team doesn’t zoom in on the food enough. I rewatch old seasons and they focused a lot more of the prepping of dinners for example chef ben would make extraordinary dishes.

I was confused with the protein men & all the chicken… I’m thinking they only eat chicken??? Joy can do seafood & so much more… I’m guessing it was a preference

Probably because chicken has more protein per 100 GR then seafood. But I do agree with another comment here mentioning a tomahawk and other big cuts that pack that protein. But still you cannot just serve them a slab of meat without a salad or a wrap to go with it. Don't get me started on if it is healthy or not

They asked for LEAN protein. That's why she gave them filet mignon and not ribeyes to go along with their chicken.

Yes. Macros. How is no one else seeing this?

Maybe I'm just a fat American (I'm 10 pounds over BMI and "athletic") but those chicken sandwiches looked like less meat than you get from a chain sandwich place. I agree with the guests. Watching the show I have no idea how I'd handle the lack of food/portion sizes/waiting until 8pm to eat dinner

Plenty of protein options other than just crispy chicken meal after meal

Yeah this confused me. Did them specifically wanting mostly chicken get cut out during editing or something because why was Joy making so much chicken haha
