Chef Jono Has Made Poor Choices All Season
The Chef Has Been Struggling
Throughout the charter season onBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9,Chef Jono has been making questionable choicesand responding poorly to criticism. Sharing early on that he didn’t originally dream of being a chef, Jono has the skillset and training to handle feeding guests aboard a luxury superyacht. During the first charters of the season,he had a hard time following the preference sheets provided for charter guests, serving them foods they specifically hadn’t wanted. Even when he was given feedback by the guests surrounding spices, preparation, or dishes they were hoping to see or avoid, Jono struggled to listen.
Captain Sandy Has Given Jono Several Chances
She’s Been Overly Forgiving
WhileCaptain Sandy was hopeful that Chef Jono would be able to keep himself on trackafter a difficult first charter without provisions available, things didn’t get better for the chef right away. After a few fumbled charters with poor meal service, Jono was finally able to find a groove, but it was shocking to see Captain Sandy give Jono several chances after making bad decisions for the guests. WhileCaptain Sandy has been overly forgivingthis season, potentially to a fault, it’s clear that giving Jono chances made a difference in his performance for a stretch of the season.
Chef Jono’s Near-Fatal Meal Should Cost Him His Job
He Made A Grave Error
AlthoughJono’s had a stretch of charterswhere things have been going well, in a preview for the rest ofBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9, it was shown that he’s going to make a grave error. One of the charter guests on a future charter this season shared in their preference sheet that they have a life-threatening allergy to raw fish, butJono is shown serving that guest raw fish. While it could be a mistake, even making a mistake of such epic proportions could cost someone their life inadvertently, and Chef Jono has to take responsibility for being flippant about someone’s allergy.
Even though Jono has been able to pick himself up and improve in his role aboard Mustique,there’s no room for this level of mistake. WhileBelow Deck’s Captain Sandy is big on chances, he should have to be held accountable for making such a huge mistake with the guests’ meal. The chef should face consequences for his actions and be fired fromBelow Deck Mediterraneanwithout another chance to redeem himself.
