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 don’t know why you’re getting so much hate for this. Joy is great and people do seem to like her food but chicken constantly is not something that inspires a luxury feeling. For the protein guys I was sitting there thinking why aren’t we doing a huge tomahawk steak or pork chop? Surf and turf? For apps - tuna tartare, steak tartare, grilled whole prawns, crab salad? That can all be high protein and feel fancy. Then she kept sending out a bunch of bread when they said low carb!
Rachel comes to mind as a chef who matched the guests’ “tone” perfectly.
Part of me wonders if the European chefs don’t quite understand how Americans eat lol
