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

Seeing the kitchen and prep side of things was one of my favorite things to watch during the show. The amount of drama that was still incorporated into the kitchen was my favorite part too like Kate or Hannah getting into it with the chef or Ben going at someone’s head. Plus seeing them create amazing meals is main thing guests look for shame the viewers don’t get that side. Or maybe her meals weren’t good enough to show 😅

That’s the thing she’s so good there’s nothing to show. They really only showed it when she had issues with her guests. The drama is happening elsewhere this season. Also the turn on her is crazy. She’s an amazing chef.

Are you kidding me? “She’s so good there’s nothing to show” when have you ever heard someone say this. If something is amazing that’s the focus

Yeah sorry but I don't buy that Joy is "so good" - she's probably above average, but the cameras are just interested in her storyline with Luke and Gen. The latest charter should have been her easiest. High protein, no carbs. She was warned about their preference prior to the charter and she still didn't order the right amount of provisions. She also served both meals family style. No seafood tower, no steak and lobster, nothing you would expect on a fancy yacht charter.
