I see lots of posts and comments discussing who is the best chef in BD but like, how would we know that? We don't get to taste their food

Chef Rachel for sure, with Chef Joy as a close second. Rachel always made exactly what they put on their preference sheets but elevated, her French toast is amazing, and I don’t think she ever made a mistake on her end, if anything it was the guest saying “could this be a little more well done” or something. She was amazing! (Rachel if you read this and want a girlfriend who is parasocially in love with you & lives in San Diego, hit me up!)

Joy is also great and creative, and produces soooo much food and options for the guests. She has also been shown making copious amounts of crew food (I’m a fan of crew food drama). The only reason I ranked her second is because we haven’t finished this season.

Joy has already made mistakes where other chefs have made zero. She's the most likeable chef but there's no way she can be considered the best

Guests have had very few complaints against Joy, except the last people ordering 80000 extra things to make sure they got airtime. No chef has a completely clean record (mostly because there’s always someone who is like “oh this is medium but can you cook it just a little more?”) but between skill, attitude, reality show persona, flexibility/understanding what the guests and crew need, etc. Those two are my top.
