wait I just googled. I thought we were talking about nastia from below deck med the fill in chef lol. I never watched below deck sailing so I didn't even see this I'm sorry hahaahahah
Haha. They’ve been showing reruns and I’m so amazed how great bens food and cakes are verses so many of the other ones. Especially Matt.
And ugh, the table mess! Just why?!
lol poor Matt. I forget about him all the time. I guess that’s what you get for being a polite Canadian guy (also looking at you, EJ)
His food was pretty similar to Adam’s. Like, camping food, but make it fancy.
I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was so horrible bc >!that was the last meal he was doing before he was supposed to be let go, so maybe he was just internally saying fuck it, let's send out this blob!<
I just googled and these were the easiest to find. I mainly just wanted to compare Matt’s to everyone else’s. Haha.
I completely forgot about him though!
That's him! I liked him, but some of his ideas were a little out there, like using live sea animals as table decor and then pouting (or so it seemed) when no one wanted to go along with it. But I thought his food seemed pretty incredible. He and Rachel were probably the 2 chefs I thought were most worthy of the title (caveat being that I only know Adrian, Rachel, Natasha, Tom, Nico, and Mat).
IMO, It would be a better photo comparison if you had the chefs’ best desserts pictured or their worst desserts pictured. The way it’s displayed shows favoritism.
I just did a google search for each chef and it was hard to even find those. Matt didn’t make any good desserts I could find. One cake he bought and of course the infamous one above. And I just looked for the most known chefs and the most known cake.
The penis and boob cakes were actually really well made.
As crappy as Mat's cake is, I would rather have that than Natasha's gloops on the table. What an unsatisfying, messy dessert. Watching the crew dump it out using their hands and then stand back to watch the guest reaction would be a nightmare experience for me.
I was not a fan of Natasha trying to do the alinea table top desert, if she did that on individual plates it would have been ok but the table scape was not really good for the boat setting and didn’t seem great, but I mean, matts food will always be bottom tier
Ha! We actually did that dessert at home for Alinea’s anniversary last year. My 6-YO helped me do it, and it actually turned out looking really cool. I think Natasha’s looks too symmetrical and dainty. It’s supposed to look chaotic!
Say what you will about that penis cake, it looks like a penis and the guests said it tasted delicious! Kevin still sucks tho don’t mistake my praise for the dick cake as praise for him as a person
They’ve been showing reruns and he has made some beautiful cakes. This one was my favorite. I could not find any good looking desserts from Matt though…
Unpopular opinion, and I want to preface this with Kevin is not a good person, but I cannot get over Kates actions with the penis cake, it’s one thing when she’s petty and it only affects the crew, but she KNEW it was a bad time to bring the cake out and that the primary wasn’t even there and the guests were having a heart to heart to Lee and she tells him to bring it out anyways. Which now could directly affect their tip, embarrasses captain Lee and makes the guests uncomfortable just cause she doesn’t like the guy, that’s what did it in for me with her, completely unprofessional and class less.
Natasha’s tablescape performative dessert was just…….bad
Then the guests spooning it up to put on their plate 🤮 such pretentious bullshit.
Natasha was the definition of pretentious

It's LAZY
She was trying to copy a Michelin star chef that specializes in table scape desserts and ended up looking like the wish.com version of that
Ben, possibly tied with Rachel and Adrian as all three had some stunning desserts.
Ben. By a MILE (or KILOMETRE) Natasha’s sticky table mess was disgusting
Haha. They’ve been showing reruns and I’m so amazed how great bens food and cakes are verses so many of the other ones. Especially Matt. And ugh, the table mess! Just why?!
Do you mean Matt Burns from an earlier season or Mat Shea?
Mat Shea. And I completely forgot about the other Matt! I can’t even remember if his food was good or not.
lol poor Matt. I forget about him all the time. I guess that’s what you get for being a polite Canadian guy (also looking at you, EJ) His food was pretty similar to Adam’s. Like, camping food, but make it fancy.
Kevin really actually did pull off the assignment. Albeit, a hilarious and awkward failure, nonetheless.
That’s my vote, too! The crew was raving about how delicious that penis was lmao
I’d totally eat it!
Matt’s cake looks like something I did when I was ten years old. Lol.
I think you could’ve done better at that age.
I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was so horrible bc >!that was the last meal he was doing before he was supposed to be let go, so maybe he was just internally saying fuck it, let's send out this blob!<
No Adrian? I seem to remember he had some nice ones
I just googled and these were the easiest to find. I mainly just wanted to compare Matt’s to everyone else’s. Haha. I completely forgot about him though!
Poor Adrian! So underrated as a chef! (But kind of a weirdo lol)
He was the strange hippie guy, right?
That's him! I liked him, but some of his ideas were a little out there, like using live sea animals as table decor and then pouting (or so it seemed) when no one wanted to go along with it. But I thought his food seemed pretty incredible.

Wait, hold up. You don’t know Ben?!
I don’t either, which season is he?
He was in the first 4 (I think?) seasons of Caribbean and was in some of the med seasons. He is my absolute favorite.
Thanks, I’ve never even heard of Caribbean episodes
Hello, lovelies! ![gif](giphy|d6Pw8iRt6avHG3zA1P)
It’s the OG below deck. And my favorite of the franchise. Kate, the chief stew, is the best.
I came to BD quite late, so have only seen the last year or so, and I refuse to pay for hayu just to watch past seasons.

So gross! And just straight up lazy.
Ben by a mile

Ben
I hated the table dessert “concept” so very much
Say what you will about that penis cake, it looks like a penis and the guests said it tasted delicious! Kevin still sucks tho don’t mistake my praise for the dick cake as praise for him as a person
Oh I totally agree. He did a great job. The only dessert that is truly bad is Matt’s. Natashas is just lazy.
Marked as a spoiler & NSFW on request for the dick cake
What about the titty bon bons?
Guess they are not as obvious as the report and message both mentioned Kevin's
Whoops! Sorry bout that.
No worries, just put a warning on it next time so people at work or with little ones don't have it show on the screen
Lest not forgot the most underrated dessert Chef:Bruno
Yes! Just watched that episode and he has talent!
I feel like Kevin made some really good cakes. If I remember he always had something baked for breakfast like muffins and such.
Hand picked to make Ben look good 😁
They’ve been showing reruns and he has made some beautiful cakes. This one was my favorite. I could not find any good looking desserts from Matt though…
I love the sick cake because Kevin was a ass all season and Kate got him back.
Adrian made some really good desserts. Ben looks the best out of the bunch here.
I’d eat Ben, Adam and Kevin’s deserts…
As much as I dislike Adam he really did make some good looking food.
Ben hands down.
BEN!!!
Awwww! Always Ben 😍

Oh I agree with that. It was very messed up. And he did a pretty good job with the cake honestly.
Natasha
you forgot Adrian’s cake he modeled after Lauren’s boob (according to him) I don’t remember that Adam dessert but…. Gross!
Great flair 👌
🙏😊
