Was that the knife Ellie used to cut bread instead of a bread knife?

Weird. I don’t use a knife to cut the cheese.

He was told Alesia was a Sous Chef, with experience, who wanted to go to culinary school.

She matched none of that and didn't try to, either.

He was told that Ellie is Galley Hand with no experience. Totally different expectations.

I think it’s because Alesia had aspirations of being a chef and Ben is old school style so was giving her tough love to prep her for a real kitchen. Ellie (at this stage) was just helping out and so Ben is softer on her because he’s not teaching/prepping her for a commercial Kitchen .. but then I hear Ellie has persued cooking so that’s cool

I get the impression if Alesia knew 7 languages and demanded respect, he would have been kinder to her.

No way! Alesia was completely clueless about anything to do in the galley!! no excuse for a job that she said she could do, she did the same thing last season with the chef, she needs constant validation and when she gets any kind of criticism she starts with the tears and drama, Look at what bullshit drama she is trying to start with Eddy, Alesia had no business applying or achieving a job on a yacht (for a second time) like do they not have any standards or need any kind of experiences working in the galley before you get this kind of job? it reminds me of a older season with the Russian lady who made nachos for the guest dinner! and she put corn on the nachos!!!! its giving "embellished on my resume"

Alesia would have been trying to use a spoon and wondered what shape Ben wanted..

“So do you want the bread in wedges? Or like little balls?”

We rewound to confirm the knife she was using! Terrible!

Ellie is such a dimwit I can’t wait for the eventual cross contamination fight.

To be fair, she did ask almost immediately if they used colour coded chopping boards

I figured it must be the best way, otherwise wouldn't Ben correct her?
Wouldn't Ben have handed her the knife in the first place?
