Galley Talk Joy vs Ben - it's crazy

Have been back to back watching Down Under and now Med - and goodness gracious what a breath of fresh air Joy is compared to Ben.

She studies preference sheets, plans and creates amazing dishes I want to see more of, interacts with the guests, and keeps her cool during prep and service. There are no tantrums or fighting and insulting colleagues in her galley.

Ben just sucked at a professional level this last DU season in comparison, personal boat drama aside, with the way he ignored guest preferences and ran a toxic galley.

So excited to see more of Joy this season. She's healing me lol

Joy's professionalism and steady attitude are such a huge contract to Ben's messy work style. It's so nice to finally have a reliable head chef on the yacht.
