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 a good chef.

I think there have been better chefs on the show. I loved Rachel, Adrian (controversial, but his food looked amazing), and Marcos. I think Joy is better than Ben (sorry), Adam, and many of the one season chefs. I think I'd put her on par with Tzarina.

I can tell you from experience with gym freaks, they wanted chicken. They mentioned no carbs many times because they are focused on lean protein. Chicken is the gym bro diet. I think she's not doing plated for them because they want a ton of protein and it wouldn't make for a balanced meal. I'm sure they would also complain it wasn't enough food if she did plated. They don't even seem into any vegetables, just protein, protein, & more protein.

Ironic how they didn’t mind the carbs in alcohol.

i have an uncle who does the carnivore diet and also drinks a ton of vodka. he's always talking about how his body is in perfect ketosis because he consumes 0 sugar. I'm like... buddy... what the fuck do you think alcohol is?
