For those unfamiliar with the Bravo show Below Deck, it's a reality series set aboard mega yachts that follows the daily routine of the crew as it serves wealthy charter guests in fabulous locales. As you can imagine, the food for this five-star experience has to be top notch, so each season features a highly skilled chef in the yacht galley, where much of the drama goes down.
Chef Ben Robinson is a series regular. A fan favorite not only for his delectable dishes, but also his quirky, cocky personality, Robinson is not at all uncomfortable with confrontation, particularly with Chief Steward Kate Chastain. Chastain has an equally strong personality, and though her love/hate relationship with Robinson is a longstanding staple of the series, their type-A tumult crossed the line when it was witnessed by a few guests.
The trouble started when Robinson chastised Chastain for not giving him what he felt was an adequate schedule of meals for the guests. Robinson was at it again the next day, slamming things around in the galley while arguing with Chastain about whether or not to call "the first meal of the day" breakfast or brunch. Yeah...
Unfortunately, two charter guests were seated steps away from the galley, and Robinson and Chastain's bickering got so loud the captain even radioed them to keep it down. "Mommy and daddy need to stop fighting," one guest quipped to the other. "Awkward," he replied.
