Below Deck’s Chef Anthony Iracane Needs To Make These Changes Before He Gets Fired

Summary Chef Anthony needs to improve quickly before getting fired by new Captain Kerry Titheradge.

Serving meals family-style may be a solution to Anthony's issues in the kitchen, as suggested by fans.

Despite understandable struggles, Chef Anthony's performance falls short of Captain Kerry's standards.

Below Deck season 11’s Chef Anthony Iracane needs to make major changes to his performance before he gets fired from the St. David by new Captain Kerry Titheradge. While Anthony has been an asset to the St. David, his performance in the last several episodes of Below Deck season 11 has been lackluster. Due to a variety of reasons, including his inability to stay organized under pressure, Chef Anthony has been making mistakes throughout the season and guests have been noticing that their meals aren’t up to par. Captain Kerry has pointed out his mistakes, but he’s getting fed up.

"I’m sure his food is fantastic, but idk if yacht chef is the best fit for him”

According to u/VeVantTheFunk on Reddit, there are some possible ways to remedy Anthony’s issues in the kitchen. “Why has no one on the boat suggested he serve meals family style? I'm sure he couldn't get away with it for every meal, but, when dealing with incredibly picky guests it seems like it would be a LOT easier and more efficient,” the user explained. While some commenters disagreed, others felt it was an option. “I’m sure his food is fantastic, but idk if yacht chef is the best fit for him,” u/Wmfw shared, after listing out Anthony’s main issues.

Should Chef Anthony Be Fired On Below Deck?

Close

Some commenters made suggestions for Anthony’s service, while others explained that the pressures of Below Deck are unlike any yachting experience out there. u/itsthebeach explained, “On a normal yacht meals are planned and sheets are submitted usually weeks in advance. Below Deck is not normal yachting and as someone with dyslexia that’s an additional added challenge.” While Anthony is struggling with finding the balance on the superyacht, he’s also dealing with pressures that aren’t typically present in the galley of a luxury vessel. Adding that stress onto his pre-existing dyslexia is making things harder, but should he be fired?

While Anthony’s struggles are understandable due to the circumstances and the pressures surrounding the St. David, his performance is still falling short by the standards of Captain Kerry. It may not be a kind move, but Anthony’s time on the superyacht has been filled with struggles that haven’t been fixed throughout the charter season, so it feels as though Captain Kerry could be justified in firing the chef if he continues to fail. Though it feels like a tougher decision because of Chef Anthony’s abilities and the unavoidable impacts of his disability, his performance merits the termination of his employment.

As Below Deck season 11 continues, Chef Anthony’s performance has been a major issue for the rest of the crew as they’ve worked through the charter season. Serving their guests with meals that are incorrect or underwhelming has caused the crew to have to deal with backlash, which ultimately makes its way to the Captain. Though Chef Anthony has been trying his hardest to make things work, it’s likely that he doesn’t have enough support to make his way entirely through the charter season, and could be fired on an upcoming episode of Below Deck, with or without accommodations.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.
