For viewers, the term was something you may only have known from watching Food web link programs.
They are the right-hand man or woman to the head chef.
But the kitchen is different from that of a galley on a superyacht.
Perhaps our expectations made us believe that Anthony was going to be there to prepare meals alongside Cheffy.
He knew he was better than washing dishes.
He wanted to cook!

They truly never had a chance to learn about one another.
Discover their strengths and weaknesses.
There was no time for the small talk that would lead to a promising working relationship.

He didn’t want to hear them.

I’m out in two weeks.
“Captain Jason is one of the most understanding individualswho have ever appeared on any Bravo series.

But that’s not what he was hired to do.
Has the Sous Chef experiment officially been broken now?

In the future, they could be, just maybe with a better-suited combo of individuals.
