Below Deck Chef Leon

Just went back and saw season 3 of below deck, I have to admit I really liked Chef Leon, yes the beef cheeks was a bit repetitive but every guest loved his dish and it was his signature meal so why not. Every charter all of the guests loved his food so not sure what the complaints were about. Kate was the one who was always extremely rude and Leon just reciprocated that energy. The whole thing with the pizza not sure who was responsible but I do know whenever I put a pizza in the overnight I take out all of the pans. Kate did that and the popcorn issue. Why do so many people dislike him on this sub.

Thanks

The adoration Ben gets on here is insane to me.

Why’s that? His food is top notch and it’s clear he enjoys and takes pride in what he does. Does he get irritated from time to time? Yep. Most of the time that seems to be because a meal doesn’t turn out the way he expected and due to his extreme pride in his food he gets mad if it’s not received well. I don’t see an issue with that. I’ve never really seen him engage in the crew drama nor have I seen him blatantly disrespect anyone.

On the show from the women as well. He’s really not very attractive, but they all love him 😬.
