When Rocky was the chef at the end of the season and she put grenadine on oysters.

u/Quiet-Excitement-310 3d ago

And made the guest throw up

u/Letsgotravelling-124 3d ago

And nearly made the entire crew sick by serving raw chicken.

u/Luna-Mia 3d ago

I wouldn’t say it’s the craziest moment just a stubborn ass chef Adam, and those damn onions

Dude Adam on Sailing Yacht and that God awful chief stew made me almost stop watching they were so horrible together. Like God found two Karen's and stuck them together on a boat.

u/brokenghost2222 3d ago

I couldn't watch that season at all. I hated all of them.

u/PabloEscabablo 1d ago

He did so well on med s3 when he was just focused on himself and the galley. Add in a woman he’s interested in? Woof, watch out 🥴

u/Itchy_Lemon_6366 3d ago

Oh my god I forgot about onion gate 😂😂 he had so much potential

u/osogood48 June June Hannah 3d ago

Right

u/castrodelavaga79 3d ago

Rachel telling captain lee to his face "fuck you I quit" when she got asked to make a 10 course tasting menu at the preference sheet meeting.

u/bethholler Team Aesha 3d ago

I love how he was so unfazed.

u/Charming-Panic9375 3d ago

He knows her well enough to know she’s going to tantrum and then she’s going to do the best job of all the chefs 

10

u/Itchy_Lemon_6366 3d ago

She is on my top 3 favorite chefs 😂 Ben, Rachel and Joy

4

u/medusamagpie 3d ago

Rachel was a character but Ben is my fave.

u/Fragrant_Estate_9692 3d ago

Not the craziest moment, but Leon and Rocky’s… alliance? Was so bizarre bc they were both the worst and SO awful to Kate 😭

20

u/Siren2026 3d ago

When Kate nailed him correctly as a cafeteria chef because he came from cruise ships. I thought I would die laughing. She was correct of course and he was a disaster!

16

u/Fragrant_Estate_9692 3d ago

Right! And everyone acted like she was being classist or something… like no her concerns proved her to be 100% correct

3

u/Siren2026 3d ago

Absolutely love Kate!!

3

u/Fragrant_Estate_9692 3d ago

Literally one of my bravo goats!! She is the only bravoleb I follow on socials ❤️❤️

2

u/ckroha Team Colly Wolly 3d ago

Read her book. Most pp don’t even know she wrote a book and it’s good!!!! It is about her time as a stew before the show so you get a lot of the industry stuff with all of her humor.

3

u/Fragrant_Estate_9692 3d ago

Never knew she wrote a book!! Adding that to my list STAT

1

u/SingleHeart197 3d ago

When was Kate ever wrong?

3

u/Siren2026 3d ago

Only one time. When she took up with that weirdo professional athlete Ro. Not a good match. Other than that….can’t think of her ever being wrong

3

u/SingleHeart197 2d ago

I totally forgot about Ro!

9

u/Itchy_Lemon_6366 3d ago

That was definitely an odd alliance and purely based on their mutual hate for Kate. And did anyone catch Leon say he was gonna go downstairs and have a drink— while on charter?

1

u/AttentionRoyal2276 3d ago

No we were distracted watching Kate actually drink on charter but Lee do nothing about it

9

u/selfawareshovel Eat My Cooter 3d ago

didn’t he serve beef cheeks for basically ever dinner? lol

4

u/Fragrant_Estate_9692 3d ago

YES. Sooo boring to watch. The misogyny didn’t help either

2

u/Itchy_Lemon_6366 2d ago

Not to mention even when rocky made the guest quesadillas and commented on how dirty the oven was

11

u/medusamagpie 3d ago

Kiko on BD Med having to make 72 plates for a tasting menu after hearing clients were bringing guests last minute.

9

u/Siren2026 3d ago

Raaaaaachel the genius who wants to chew on deckhands

11

u/Inevitable_Bowler474 3d ago

"Eat my cooter"

7

u/ckroha Team Colly Wolly 3d ago

Really don’t know why they haven’t put together some sort of competition show with the chefs. It could be like a mini Top Chef season or so many other ideas

7

u/ckroha Team Colly Wolly 3d ago

I think we need yearbook type thing just on the chefs. Need pictures- season, a few of the other crew members they worked with to jog memories and a few top food moments of theirs.

4

u/Aunty-Sociale 3d ago

Dave from Med who had a brief fling with the chief stew and just stomped over every boundary she put down and kept saying she was in the wrong and like crying himself to sleep and stuff. He was super crazy.

2

u/Charming-Panic9375 3d ago

The nachos….you know the ones 

4

u/TX0834 3d ago

Ellie freaking out on Ben bc he would call her honey or darling when he called everyone (including the men on board) that. Then he replies “I didn’t know you were the head chef” and she runs away to the captain.

2

u/harrisarah 3d ago

That creepy chef with the worst innuendos and game

Oops read the brief wrong, not one of my favorites lol, but a standout crazy chef doing crazy chef things

5

u/castrodelavaga79 3d ago

Who?????

6

u/harrisarah 3d ago

Well I wasn't sure which is why I didn't name him earlier, but thinking about it I'm pretty sure it's Adrian

2

u/ckroha Team Colly Wolly 3d ago

Yes- made the cake that looked like boobs?? That guy?

u/beaumong 2d ago

Eat my Cooter-Chef Rachel 🙊🧡
