slicing cucumber is like slicing lime for drinks, a thing strews can do. Buuut if the guests asked the chef to do it, a steward did it and the cucumber was a bit off - the chef would've been pissed if he heard the guests complain about what they thought was his work

[@alishanicolepeace]

i feel like all commenters here are missing the point, the customer was asking for some sliced cukes and some olive oil(and then avo) it doesn't take a culinary degree to do that . so if the chef is not answering why bother them with that? but then again this all devolves in to front of house not understanding what the back of house does... *edit* i didnt watch the rest of the vid while commenting that. the rest of the vid is a full shiz show heh

Tom seethes with fury degrades and talks down to people. Cant imagine how he treats people when cameras arent around. It was hard to even watch him. It seemed he wanted to punch Aiesha.

[@Fitzwillyfl]

I didn’t get anger from him as much as frustration. And I’ll clue you in…. Most head chefs talk to people way worse that Tom did. I think the thing with Aesha is that he was frustrated and wondering what he got himself in to and was mouthing off at the situation and she, not knowing him or his style, took it personally.

[@shellytarbet3677]

@@Fitzwillyfl I'll clue you in if it was beyond his scope and he was frustrated and wondering what he got himself into then he should have quit instead of belittling degrading talking down to etc a person that had nothing to do with him being woken up from his nap. People do take it personally when they are attacked for something that they had nothing to do with why a person was as angry as he was. You like he are also blaming Aiesha. She said at the start it wasn't my call. You might want to think about that before you attck her for not knowing his style. He didnt then go off and talk to Sandy the way he was talking her why.... He needed to beat up on someone who was beneath him thats why.

[@Fitzwillyfl]

@@shellytarbet3677 See, the difference is that I’m looking the situation unemotionally. The world is filled with different kinds of people who react different ways. I understand why Aesha was upset at being spoken to that way but having been in her predicament many many times I guess I have a thicker skin and was able not to internalize the anger. Ill say again that most chefs, especially head chefs are very emotional and explosive. That’s not excusing what Tom did or his behavior in general. I can surmise that the atmosphere on board the yacht must have been tense with Kiko and Hannah both leaving so I’m sure everyone was on edge. I apologize if my take on the situation offended you somehow.

Unfortunately Chefs often have huge personality defects. I've worked in pubs lots and over the years seen many with addiction problems and extreme anger and quirks. It's a tough, high pressured and often lonely job that seems to attract / cause these types of defects.

[@CS-pi5oc]

Malia dodged a bullet with Tom. He a mean fighter. Anyone in his patch catches it. If he had a kid it would receive that anger in spades. He’s scary awful.

[@timmartin2894]

He had a few irritable moments over the course of several weeks, like everyone else. These people are living and working in a cramped space away from home 24/7, being filmed while they do their jobs and these clips are less than 1% of their overall time on the boat... Easy to judge from behind your computer screen, but at the end of the day, the man is a world-class yacht chef who had a few hiccups where he came across as childish, but other than that seems a nice guy....

[@CS-pi5oc]

@@timmartin2894 what u r saying is that he couldn’t handle the stress and working conditions. He used his girlfriend and added stress to her job. I think his true colors showed.

[@timmartin2894]

@@CS-pi5oc I didn't say that at all - you are truly dumb if that's the conclusion you came to... Did he complete the job to its duration and get paid for it? If so then he clearly showed he could handle the job, so why would I be saying the opposite to that? It's not against your contract to get stressed during your job. Nothing he did was a fireable offense and as I said he is a world-class yacht chef, so yes, under certain circumstances, poor behaviour can be insignificant in the grand scheme of things. What do you not understand about the sentence that this shows less than 1% of his overall time on the boat? What about if the other 99% of his time was excellent? Go read a book, or get a job yourself, and stop talking nonsense.

[@CS-pi5oc]

@@timmartin2894 U contacted me Timmy. It’s my opinion that u don’t steal away your girlfriend to help u do a job u chose to do. Plain and simple. He lost control, made errors, and gave proof that he couldn’t handle the job. He repeatedly droned on abt his rep, who he worked with, how it would look…yep, real chef material. Contact him and tell him how very proud u were of his actions on the show and how u would emulate his every move.

[@timmartin2894]

@@CS-pi5oc Malia literally just has to wash the boat and throw ropes when the boat docks - and she had been on the boat for weeks before Tom, so if she couldn't help him with a few teething issues while the boat was docked and she was doing nothing else, then that's called laziness. Yeah real chef material, exactly, cos he's still getting paid the big bucks to do it, and Sandy said he was the type of chef Kiko would need to train under, so she clearly thinks he was the calibre needed to be a yacht chef. In no job or aspect of life does anyone make zero errors and there was zero proof he couldn't handle the job - still none of your points back that up. He doesn't need my approval or yours, when he gets the approval and money from Yacht Captains. Again, I bet you can count his tantrums on one hand - you're still not getting that a few tantrums condensed into what's selected to be shown for a TV show, is nothing in the real World, considering he is working over several weeks... you don't get that part do you? People have tantrums at work all the time... If he worked 100 hours over a couple of weeks, and one hour of that time is spent complaining to colleagues, then that is 1% of his work time spent complaining - they're not gonna show the boring 99 hours of him preparing great food and being calm with his colleagues are they, even if that was 99% of the time. You need to get a grip and learn how TV works. It's not real life...

[@tedfaun2159]

Tom needs to do a bit of growing up and to stop using 'being a chef' as an excuse for poor behaviour.

[@Mallrat1988]

Tom's behavior was totally uncalled for. He's the chef, so it's his responsibility, and the way he treated Aesha just shows his lack of character.

The Russian chic was a disaster from the start. Anastasia was 1000% times more talented in the kitchen than she was. SMH Tom… well… he came in to a situation to bail Sandy out after she fired Kiko. In his defense he was used to working on larger yachts that had two chefs. Now, he acted like a prima-donna on the show… and later cheated on Malia so I’m not a fan. Matt… There’s something about him that I don’t like. His cooking looked subpar even though the majority of guests loved his food. I don’t like the games he played and he seems to be a sleeze ball to me. Defiantly not a fan. I’m surprised they didn’t show Adam putting onions in the guests food on purpose when it was highlighted on all the preference sheets NO ONIONS!! Maybe that was done for dramatic effect?! Next season he seems to make it up to the guest on their second charter but I wouldn’t have given him the chance.

I have sympathy for chefs who work on yachts. In a restaurant, you as a chef can rely on a team. But in a yacht you are the person in charge of the galley where so much is dependant on you. If things go wrong with the service, the blame can be spread between 2 or 3 people, but with food there's no place to hide.

@@kellyperry559​⁠​⁠bigger yatchs have more chefs for the exact reason you’re insinuating that this boat shouldn’t.

Not to mention being the sole chef responsible for supplying 5+ group meals + spontaneous requests a day in a 24/7 confined social environment. There’s a reason chefs aren’t exactly snapping at the heals to fill these positions.

[@shelann5496]

😮 😂 so wait a minute - malia's man was angry because he had to do his job

[@kmj782]

These people are just insane

[@MusedDiaries]

Tom didn’t need to cop an attitude with Aesha. She didn’t do anything wrong.

[@ADHDTeenager]

When I was a chef I had to use a tens machine, 3 machines to be exact 4 pads of one knee 4 pads on the other and 4 on my back just to be able to survive a shift

[@jeanicelewis510]

I can cut tomatoes, cucumbers and avacado Sandy!!

[@trizhaven5933]

It’s his job

[@christopherthomson1978]

the chef with the knee I think was putting it on and just didn't want to do it anymore and couldn't handle the pressure

[@nikkimullins4566]

Oh no girl don't come for Aunt Jemima, them pancakes go down!

[@davidgeorge000]

Cook the white part more. 🤔😂 Cook the white part more but the yellow part less. 🤔😂

[@lisc3079]

It’s LITERLY his job to make food, ur a chef wtf?

[@allisonmb1930]

I make pancakes from scratch and I’m…not a chef. Oof.

[@bryannabevens6473]

I’d be pissed if I were the chef too…nobody can slice a damn cucumber? Lol!!

[@MelissaRae1975]

It's his only job. Interior,exterior, and rhw CAPTIAN have a million other jobs

[@s.stapes4040]

my god he complains non-stop. tom needs a different line of work he isn’t cut out for this

[@Leablak]

These chefs need to understand that they are hired to please some wealthy people. And sometimes wealthy people don't appreciate nice food. So just overcook that damn egg or leave out the onions or whatever for that picky eater and be done with it!

[@carniegaming9899]

Chefs are still obligated to uphold health standards. If a guest wants one to cook something improperly, the Chef can say no.

[@linzixuan29]

I mean it's tiring and exhausting to be woken up to cut cucumber but it is your job . U signed the contract . U should have known ABT this

[@arleneposner6868]

Hi, I can’t eat meat because I can’t digest it. Oh, I’ll have some steak.🤣🤣

[@chermendoza4888]

Unprofessional chef!! Do your job man

[@jasminesumsion1216]

Tom acted like a child

[@arleneposner6868]

Someone can’t cut a cucumber?

[@countrygirlxo7188]

To be honest I would be pissed if I finally got a break and tried taking a nap. Only to be woken up to cut cucumbers and pour a little salt. 😂 that’s like waking someone up to go make a bowl of cereal. Nobody else is capable? Last time I made boxed pancakes when I was like 12. It’s easier to make them homemade anyways 😂

[@mic7265]

Yeah but it’s his one job on the whole boat

[@Nicole-by3ng]

Well if that pisses you off, then don't get the one job having to serve people food for people when they want food. You are not hired to go take a nap and have a cuddle session with your gf. Your job is to serve clients when they are hungry, get over it.

[@xSkuli]

@@Nicole-by3ng Yes, it's easy to say that and I completely agree. But people that work on yachts like this are a team and a team should be able to help each other out when possible.

[@mic7265]

@@xSkuli yes but if a complaint comes back about the food it’s on him. So he has to over see the food served to the guest from how it looks to how it taste A stew may put too much salt on the cucumber or she may cut it in an unappealing manner and that will come back on the chef So it’s best if he does his job and makes sure it’s done right

[@MusedDiaries]

He’s still wrong for talking to Aesha the way he did.

[@jerryhamer]

That bald headed chef had so many chances. Cant believe he made it the whole season

[@oskarklang8616]

The leg thing was BS.What a strange person.

[@starrwilson9383]

I FREAKING LOVE BEN! He’s my all time favorite person on Below Desck!🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️😍😍😘😘

[@emzzzzz0998]

We don’t use Aunt Gemama in America. We use Bisquick. 😂😂😂😂

[@mmsoftball1]

Tom’s meltdown is ridiculous!

[@tinahiley7256]

While I agree he should not of been woken up to slice cucumber every time he not happy he calls his girlfriend has a go at her and to make aesha cry when she really didn’t have nothing to do with it his such a drama queen!!

[@jigglypuff7004]

Blames his sore knee to get out of work 😂😂😂 Do you cook with your knee ?

[@elizabethtaylor8428]

Couldn't stand him, such a tool.

[@anthonydrake4244]

The most disingenuous statement always starts, " I didn't mean to..." You Know solo Chefs are given rule of the roost... and you ... true to form... make everyone apologize to be in your presence. Great performance!!

[@AnthonyRose-pk2zi]

Dinner at 10pm..how wrong is that..that’s when it’s fucking bed time…

[@user-bm6xt4ip5v]

does anyone know which season the pancake chef lady was on
