Will Chef Johnathan Shillingford Finally Be Fired On Below Deck Med?
Chef Jono Should Be Fired If He Causes A Near-Fatal Incident
At one point in an earlyBelow Deck Medseason 9 episode,Captain Sandy called for a backup chef to be on standby in caseshe ended up firing Jono. So far, that backup chef hasn’t been needed yet. Jono’s problematic skills in the galley have been overshadowed in recent episodes byIain’s massive mistakes as an exterior crew memberas well as Ellie and Bri’s intense feud as part of the interior crew.
TheBelow Deck Medmid-season trailer confirms that the chef’s issues haven’t gone away, and he’s about to face his biggest test yet: proving to Captain Sandy he deserves to stay, despite almost causing a guest to suffer from an allergic reaction. Presumably, said guest mentioned her allergies on the preference sheet. If that’s what happened, thenthe chef is in massive trouble for ignoring a problematic food that could cause someone to die. If it wasn’t on the sheet, then maybe the chef will be in the clear as long as he prepares a different meal for the guest.

Captain Sandy’s line from the trailer in which she says she has no choice but to fire him could be some misleading editingfrom the Bravo producers to make it seem like she’s firing Jono when she’s actually going to let go of Iain, who also deserves to be fired.
