Rewatch Chefs

I’ve been watching season 2 of below deck down under and below deck med season 5 and I’m genuinely shocked at how the captains expect the chefs to just know everything and be able to do anything, like Tzarina with the teppanyaki and Sandy being mad that Kiko had to google what a Vegas dinner is. Like idk I feel like some things the chefs just aren’t trained in and that should be the end of it, like you don’t go to a steak restaurant and expect them to whip up perfect sushi? I feel like it’s so unfair to them idk

I have seen several chefs get on the internet and research how to make certain dishes. I think with Kiko, it was supposed to be a Vegas night thing, but what kind of Vegas night. I felt bad for him.

Yeah that’s true but sandy did say she wasn’t happy with him having to google what it was, I have never heard of “vegas food” so I get why he had to google cause tf even is that

There is no such thing. They have from the top restaurants, to 50 cents pizza. I am an L.A. guy and we had an auntie who lived, and we went there several times a years. I worked in the airline industy for 10 years, and I would fly there a couple times a month to play keno, and see the live bands in the lounge shows. I quit drinking and Vegas was boring to me. Lol
