Chefs are some of the most important crew members in the Below Deck franchise, and there are a few that fans would like to see again. Guests that charter the Below Deck superyachts expect to receive top-tier service, including Michelin star-quality meals. Some guests can be picky, which their preference sheets will indicate. Whether they want non-dairy, gluten-free, or vegan food, the chefs have to comply.

Captain Lee Rosbach has been invited to have dinner with the guests many times, and one of the most memorable Below Deck moments was his conversation with The Queen of Versailles star, Jackie Siegel.
