“What is that spice?”
“The one you don’t like,” replies Captain Sandy.
Another guest says the spice doesn’t “agree with her palette.”
In her own confessional, an exasperated Captain Sandy explains, “This is a superyacht.
The food shouldn’t just be okay.
It should be excellent.
Jono is 0 for two now.”
As a seasoned yacht captain, Captain Sandy knows what it takes to be successful in the galley.
“I think a lot will be revealed throughout the season.
But I like [Chef Jono] personally.
He’s a great guy.”
But one issue for Captain Sandy is that Chef Jono didn’t have formal culinary training.
she asks, comparing Jono toBelow Deck Medseason 7 chef Dave White.
How do you do that?
That is always the question for me.
I just ponder and think what’s the best way to approach this?
And the person’s under stress.
You don’t want to create more stress.
You’re a human being.
And I always think about that human element."
