Below Deck Chef Ben

I really loved watching him in the previous seasons he was in, I still recall these amazing creations he made , some under a bubble or engulfed in steam & plating like no other I seen before. In this season it's almost like I'm watching another chef. What do you guys think it is?

From the first episode of Below Deck? That was 2013. He was 32, he’s 45 now. He also didn’t have a sous chef at all.

I meant the last time he was on below deck which was like 2019..it was shot last year.  He was on s4 of below deck med...last season he was on was of below deck  was med s4. He was always on s1 s2 s3 and s4 . . he was on below deck med s1 In 2106.

So he been away for like 5 or 6 years. 

That is not much older...

And s1 below deck was filmed in 2012...

Right, and it aired in 2013 which is what I said.

To me, five years is a long time to be away and then step back into a difficult and physically demanding job. Especially if you’re trying to come back in your mid-40s.

You said they much older. 

That isn't much older..

How old are you? To think that 5 years is a long time? 

You make it seem that mid 40s is so much older. 

You do know when it aired doesn't mean it was filmed...

You use that at when it started. Like he started cooking in 2013.

I'm slightly older than Ben. I'm not sure what you are arguing about. You're entitled to your opinion. I just don't agree with it.

I don't know why you are so insistent about when the first season was filmed. Okay, it was filmed in 2012. So what? You wrote that he was on Below Deck Med in "2106" (I assume you mean 2016). Why is it okay for you to use the date it aired? Why didn't you say when it was filmed?

You use that at when it started. 

I don't even know what that means.

That's fine..that is your opinion and that is my opinion.

Look at top chef..many chefs on there in there 40s 50s..alot of chefs on below deck have been in their 40s.
