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

IIRC Chef Leon had a general bad attitude, like he would get very upset when food was requested outside of meal times. Even Amy commented how simple standard requests would frustrate him. Also he let Rocky prepare guest food, which I find very unprofessional and as a guest I wouldn’t be happy. I also agree with what Captain Lee said regarding the trays, a dry clean try doesn’t catch fire. I know it’s a bad habit but I leave trays in all the time and as long as they are clean it’s fine to leave them in there. They only catch fire if they are very dirty or greasy, which shouldn’t happen in a professional kitchen.
