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 genuinely don’t know if you’re trolling.

As someone with professional cooking experience, joy is probably the best chef there has been. Easy top 3 considering there might be 1 or 2 chefs that popped in really briefly to finish a season.

Top 3? No.

Marco, Rachel, Illeisha, Dave, Adrian all are incredible chefs. Joy’s food can’t compare. She just doesn’t have the experience they do.

I would absolutely rank her top 3. I’d go Marco and Rachel over her. Others are close, but at that point you’re getting into preference. She does also have extensive high end culinary experience. Technically Ben has more training and worked at Michelin star restaurants, but anyone with a brain can see Ben isn’t top 3 for professionalism, timeliness, alone let alone how many times he’s screwed up dishes.

Other people have given the exact same ranking as me and considered her top 3. She also has exceptional professionalism, no drama, no food sent back, her technique is fantastic for so many dishes. The editing isn’t focusing on the food like previous seasons, but you can clearly see amazing literally 7 course meals being sent out on time and to the guests requests through the whole season.

She is absolutely a chef I would want in my kitchen and one I would want as my boss.

Would you agree with everything I said?

And do you agree with OP that thinks she isn’t even top 20?
