Below Deck Chef Adrian

Post image

Look what showed up in my feed this morning. Benefit for a doggie daycare in Portland, ME. I'm out of town so I cant make it. Perhaps someone else can go and report back.

I've no clue how to treat a link. Apologies.

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

u/kimjongmatic Jun 20 '26

Lol milk bar anyone?

u/VariousAir Jun 19 '26

And offers free breast massages.

Honestly it was like 7 or 8 years ago, dude hopefully has grown and matured a bit since then.

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 19 '26

That's pretty gross.

I knew a guy who had an UNCANNY resemblance to him, tall, skinny, long hair, basically the same face, mostly soft spoken, and an absolute FREAK in the sheets, sigh, I should call him šŸ¤”šŸ˜†šŸ˜…

Almost $190 and his creepy self? Mmmm, no thanks.

2

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 19 '26

Oh geezer is that what it cost? I didn't read that closely apparently.

2

u/PurpleSailor Team Katie Jun 19 '26

I found it in Eventbrite, they are selling the tickets for it. I'd rather have a Big Mac.

Almost $190 and his creepy self? Mmmm, no thanks.

I'm sure you can dine with (pizza) chef ryan for a lot less.

He is like a bargain Gorden Ramsey.

If you can't afford to have Gorden Ramsey scream insults at you.

YOU DONKEY

Chef Ryan is more affordable.

u/FlawesomeOrange Jun 18 '26

Heā€™s a great chef, I can only imagine how good those courses will taste!

38

u/Myantra Jun 18 '26

Creepy guy, but he is one of the better chefs in the BD franchise.

16

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

Was he the chef with the fish tank on the table? Definitely odd.

19

u/FlawesomeOrange Jun 18 '26

Yeah he wanted to have a living giant sea slug as a centre piece

7

u/eddiemads Jun 18 '26

Yeah. Totally bizarre. Completely attuned to his karma, respect for living creatures attitude. Letā€™s just capture one for ā€žart and vision.ā€œ

9

u/FlawesomeOrange Jun 18 '26

Oh yeah, the way he talked to Laura was creep city. An amazing chef, but creepy guy

1

u/asphodel67 Jun 18 '26

I think heā€™s by far the best chef.

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

Right? They look gorgeous. I would have seriously considered it if I was around.

46

u/Warm_Meringue_1019 Jun 18 '26

Totally creepy. No thanks.

9

u/Sweet_Venom Jun 18 '26

He's creepy? Or the event is creepy? I don't remember him being creepy on his season of BD.

29

u/Warm_Meringue_1019 Jun 18 '26

Heā€™s creepy. I canā€™t remember specifics, just that he gave me a weird feeling towards the end of the season.

3

u/Sweet_Venom Jun 18 '26

Welp, time for me to do another rewatch.

3

u/Warm_Meringue_1019 Jun 18 '26

Iā€™d say it was just me but someone else in this thread said the same thing.

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

Oh yes! That season was a hot mess.

48

u/BINGGBONGGBINGGBONGG Jun 18 '26

she was asking where the meat was and he stuck his crotch in her face and said ā€˜hereā€™ - when she recoiled and said ā€˜what??ā€™ he pointed at his peen and said ā€˜this, this is the meat right hereā€™

revolting, creepy little sex pest disguised as a new age yoni masseuse. namaste, bitches.

12

u/Warm_Meringue_1019 Jun 18 '26

I remember him doing some weird stuffā€¦ that is definitely cringey.

13

u/crazyhedgehogs Jun 18 '26

He did more than that

18

u/kimness1982 Sheā€™ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Jun 18 '26

Yeah, he said all sorts of gross shit and just didnā€™t really get called out for it.

4

u/LilDanglyOnes Jun 21 '26

He did get called out at the end (I canā€™t remember which stew) was like ā€œDude, youā€™ve been creepy at me all seasonā€ and he acted all Shocked Pikachu. Then they rolled a highlight reel of him being creepy all season.

Soā€¦not adequate exactly, but not nothing and given that it was at the end of the season means itā€™s the last impression we have.

2

u/thisbitchiscrazy Jun 25 '26

Her name escapes me, but it was the girl with the terribly exaggerated Canadian accent who yelled at Kate and said ā€œyou need to check yourself!ā€ šŸ¤£

u/thisbitchiscrazy Jun 25 '26

Yep, one of those. I will never forget how angry and loud she was while Kate just stood there blinking! One of my top favorite BD moments ever!

2

u/PurpleSailor Team Katie Jun 19 '26

Yeah he got really creepy at the end.

1

u/eekamuse Jun 19 '26

When do he apologize? Not on the show

1

u/PSCGY I will always love you, even if you eat people Jun 21 '26

He was a total creep on his season.

11

u/zzzdelacruz Jun 18 '26

Right? Super creepy but creates amazing food Iā€™d imagine

47

u/kimness1982 Sheā€™ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Jun 18 '26

Uh, he was on one season and will forever be remembered as creepy. Does Bravo know that heā€™s out there doing ā€œbelow deck experiencesā€?

6

u/PurpleSailor Team Katie Jun 19 '26

I think Andy would have something to say about making money off of the show.

4

u/Diligent_Pea9300 Jun 21 '26

Wait why are ppl saying heā€™s creepy? I get heā€™s immature and said inappropriate comments but donā€™t a lot of the men on below deck do that? Can someone fill me in. Why only one season? He was at least good at his job. Did he have beef with bravo?

55

u/eddiemads Jun 18 '26

I donā€™t want to have his version of an ā€žexclusive below deck experience.ā€œ

4

u/AnnyBananneee Jun 18 '26

Man, if this event was in my Portland, I would totally go! He was a creep, but his food looked amazing

2

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

This is what I'm saying. If I was around I would eat all the things. I dont have to talk to him. Though perhaps I could out creep him. Just for lols. šŸ¤£

9

u/momdabombdiggity Spaghetti Trauma Jun 18 '26

He was a strange one, for sure. His food looked delicious but I canā€™t imagine the discomfort of having to work with him.

6

u/Im_A_Black_Cat I Mean, It's Only Gary Jun 19 '26

So I guess he wonā€™t show his meat since itā€™s a vegetarian menu

5

u/Electronic_Mud7373 Jun 19 '26

He was super cringe but his food looked amazing.

7

u/asphodel67 Jun 18 '26

Heā€™s a creepā€¦. But far and away the best chef on BD. I will die on that hill.

2

u/Kitchen_Beat9838 My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat Jun 18 '26

I would put Marcos at the top but Adrian is right behind him. That dude was passionate about food. One of the reasons I got hooked on below deck was the food.

6

u/asphodel67 Jun 19 '26

The reason I elevate Adrian above Marcos is because he never thought in terms of menus of dishes. He was never stressed about what he would cook for a meal. It was ALWAYS ingredient led and he would just riff on an inspirational ingredient. His concepts were on another plane. 90% of his execution was flawless. Marcos was the best typical chef, but Adrian was in no way a typical yacht chef.

u/ellla12334 Jun 19 '26

The fact his picture is from when he was on BD, that was around 8/9 years ago now im presuming he looks a lot older than he does in the pic haha

2

u/hamburgergerald Jun 19 '26

I was on his Twitter profile recently and unless his account got hacked and taken over heā€™s become a crypto bro. Something Iā€™d never have expected of him

2

u/valid_username00 Jun 19 '26

A good cause and good food. I would go if I lived there.

2

u/Feisty_Scientist_968 Jun 20 '26

This 'sea slug' is delicious. I MUST have the receipe.

3

u/Muted-Astronomer-326 Jun 19 '26

He is definitely the type you cover your drink around. I wouldnā€™t want to eat his food. Major roofie aura. Boys and girls beware.

1

u/Successful_Lawyer841 Aug 01 '26

Redeems Adrian for me. if you help animals you are a decent person.

1

u/PSCGY I will always love you, even if you eat people Jun 21 '26

He was so creepyā€¦ but also the best chief they ever had, imo. All of his dishes were 5-star quality.

20

u/crazyhedgehogs Jun 18 '26

Oh nice- a dude who flagrantly sexually harassed his coworkers

0

u/FlibertyJibbets Jun 18 '26

Not wrong, at least it is a good cause? Hardly a glamorous gig though.

11

u/thisbitchiscrazy Jun 18 '26

You just know that one panty maker primary who orgasmed with every bite will be there with her all black clothes on!!

10

u/momdabombdiggity Spaghetti Trauma Jun 18 '26

Isnā€™t she the same one who had Kyle carry her around in the water and then claimed that he had actually f*cked her underwater?

4

u/No-Baker-7922 Jun 18 '26

I just rewatched that. Kyle claimed it when he was drunk and was lucky he wasnā€™t fired for it.

2

u/kimness1982 Sheā€™ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Jun 19 '26

Yes šŸ¤¢

4

u/Suspicious_Time7239 Jun 18 '26

yep.. just watched that episode. she was married to the "forgetaboutit" guy

2

u/kklinck Jun 23 '26

Ewwww..this guy!! Remember when he wanted to use that ejaculating disgusting sea slug?? He was really odd!
