A sweet mystery has been plaguing “Below Deck” fans. Viewers often wonder why the lavish meals served on multi-million dollar superyachts seemingly end after the main course. “Why does the chef never do desert surely if your on a super yacht you would want a sweet treat to finish off with its only ever entree and main course ???” one curious fan recently posted on a Facebook group. The burning question has now drawn a direct response from a “Below Deck” chef herself!
Where Are All the “Below Deck” Desserts?
The absence of a decadent final course has long puzzled the show’s audience. Guests pay top dollar for an unparalleled luxury experience. Surely, a “sweet treat to finish off with” would be standard.
Yet, as viewers observe, the broadcast often focuses on just “entree and main course.” Some fans noted desserts only appear “when the guests specifically ask for it.” This has left many wondering if these high-end charters are skimping on the sugar.
Below Deck: Chef Tzarina SPILLS THE TEA: “They Never Bloody Show It!”
“Below Deck” franchise chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph jumped into the Facebook discussion with a rather explosive claim. “They never bloody show it ! I do 8 to 12 courses every night and they hardly show any of it 🤣,” Tzarina declared.
This revelation suggests that dessert, and much more, is indeed being served, just not making the final TV cut. One fan whose “hubby is a mega yacht Chef” confirmed, “He makes dessert every single dinner service , also something a lunch too.”
Below Deck: Fans Uncover Why Desserts Disappear!
Many fans quickly agreed that television editing is likely the culprit. “Sometimes it’s edited out,” one user commented. Another stated definitively, “You do realise it’s all edited? Don’t you? We see what the producers want us to see.”
It seems the drama often takes precedence over documenting every dish. “There have been desserts, but I’m guessing if nothing eventful happens they cut it,” a fan speculated. For those craving a glimpse of the unseen sweets, one viewer pointed out, “some of the chefs show deserts not shown on television on their Instagram pages if you follow them.”
Below Deck: Too Much to Handle? Skepticism Over Tzarina’s “8 to 12 Courses” Claim!
While many fans cheered Tzarina’s admission, her claim of serving “8 to 12 courses every night” raised some eyebrows. One fan, Nancy Whitlock Cantley, expressed doubt. “I highly question that you do 8-10 courses every night. Unless they are a one bite course, that would take a good 4 hours to serve,” she wrote. This commenter suggested, “Methinks you exaggerate too much,” pointing out that extensive tasting menus are rarely shown and often draw guest complaints on the show.
Below Deck: Fans Still LOVE Chef Tzarina!
Despite the dessert debate and a touch of skepticism from one corner, the outpouring of support for Chef Tzarina was immense. “Tzarina Mace-Ralph thats unfair! Your food is amazing!!!” and “Tzarina Mace-Ralph u have been amazing this series, food looks so good,” were common sentiments. Her personality also won praise. “My husband always tells me that you and I would be best friends cause we have the same weird personality,” a fan shared.
