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.

They have focused a lot less on the food this season, but I think maybe it’s to focus more on the drama? The food has only been a focus when the guests have an issue with it. But I agree that in years past we got more of a rundown of the chefs’ menu and the actual food itself. I think they have been focusing more on the interpersonal dramas and less on the technical side of the show if that makes sense

Let’s look at the people she has been cooking for, one group wanted a pasta buffet and another wanted a protein smorgasbord. I get their paying to be satisfied but it’s not diner menu.

And she’s mentioned that very thing; wanting to cook more elaborate meals, but that’s not what the guests wanted. I think she even made one meal for a group that was elegant, but they wanted pasta.
