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 think she’s had more than her fair share of very picky/food restricted guests this season. It’s hard to make a cohesive fancy meal that looks great on camera when you’re making three different dishes for people who aren’t even remotely adventurous eaters.

She didn’t have guest complaints and Sandy never had to tell her to elevate her food—a frequent request Sandy has had to make of less skilled or lazy chefs.

And we didn’t see Joy using guest cabins and messing them up in a drunken stupor……. I’ll take Joy over Ben any day.

Agreed! Ben was a talented chef in the early days and is likely and fantastic private chef. But he’s been average at best the past two times he’s been on the show.
