Chef Johnathan from Below Deck Mediterranean exhibits excessive confidence in his cooking abilities, despite previously serving food that nearly killed a guest
Johnathan Shillingford from Below Deck Mediterranean brags about his culinary skills despite almost killing a guest during a charter. Due to his over-the-top personality and subpar skills, he has become among the most controversial crew members on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9. Johnathan disappointed guests and his team by neglecting the preference sheet and not fulfilling his responsibilities. In a recent episode, Johnathan served the guest cookie ice cream for dessert instead of crème brûlée, sparking speculation that producers may have planted him to add drama to the show.
Recently, Johnathan reposted a meme on Instagram that featured a photo of himself. The picture showed him smirking and brushing off his shoulders with confidence. The text on the meme read, “me hyping up my own cooking,” along with Johnathan’s quote, “flavour flavour, okay, okurrrr.” While the controversial Below Deck chef didn’t give a specific title to his post, he used it to display his excessive confidence in his cooking abilities. He probably shared it to connect with those who share his egotistical nature while subtly targeting critics criticizing his culinary skills on the show.
What Chef Johnathan Shillingford’s Bold Take Means For Below Deck Med
Johnathan Appears To Have No Fear Of Losing His Job
Johnathan’s new bold Instagram Story suggests he’s too proud of himself, which makes him appear extremely egotistical and self-absorbed. It looks like Johnathan is simply unafraid of facing consequences, possibly due to his belief in his skills as a chef, which may not be accurate given his poor performance. Throughout the episodes, Johnathan has made significant mistakes, such as ignoring guests’ requests, choosing to sleep instead of preparing late-night snacks, and disregarding the preference sheet. He also put a guest’s life at risk by serving her raw fish despite her dietary restrictions and health condition.
Johnathan’s Instagram Story also indicates he’s arrogant and unafraid of getting booted. It reinforces the rumors that the producers may have planted him. Johnathan is the least successful crew member in the recent history of Below Deck Mediterranean. Despite that, he has managed to stay on Captain Sandy Yawn’s yacht as if he’s immune to consequences. Perhaps the rumors about him being a producer plant aren’t false, considering his bold personality, flamboyant behavior, and need to start the drama. It’ll be interesting to see if Johnathan will ever return for another season.
Our Take On Chef Johnathan Shillingford Bragging About Cooking Skills
Johnathan Should Consider Enrolling In A Professional Culinary Program
Johnathan isn’t just a poor crew member, but a subpar chef. It’s shocking he was hired for Below Deck , given his evident lack of skills.
It may be time for Johnathan to return to the basics and attend culinary school to acquire more knowledge. With his current skills and lack of motivation, he won’t be able to excel. Johnathan must either work on improving himself or consider a different career path. Although the Below Deck Mediterranean star may not be suited for a luxury yacht, he could potentially succeed as a chef for smaller events such as birthday parties.
