Below deck Mediterranean Season 9’s boss Johnathan Shillingford has struggled throughout the season, and I’m convinced this will be his first and last franchise appearance. With a short-handed crew struggling to keep the Mustique afloat, Captain Sandy Yawn had her work cut out for her. Below deck Mediterranean Season 9. While the exterior team is struggling under the leadership of Bosun Iain MacLean, the interior team’s issues are due to the Steves, Bree Muller and Eli Dubach, and their difficulty working together. No issues were worse than Chef Jono’s, however, and his poor performance.
Chef Jono’s behavior throughout the season was questionable, with his attitude making him a problem from the first days of the season. Jono’s skills are not often called into question, because his meals are typically well prepared and full of flavor, but the way he cooks has not always been able to bring the guests enjoyable experiences. Some of the charter guests complained about the flavor combinations of Jono’s dishes, Captain Sandy has taken action more than once about his food. Jonathan’s performance was so poor that I believe it will be his last below deck Time.

Chef John made one too many mistakes
He is talking to several times
throughout Below deck Mediterranean season 9, Chef Jono made mistakes that should have gotten him fired years ago. Captain Sandy, who values ​​giving crew members second chances, has done her best to ensure her crew feels they can learn and grow from the mistakes they make, but it was to no avail with Jono. Although her practices are commendable and clearly work for other crew members, Captain Sandy’s style of forgiveness is not working with Chef Jono.
Although Jono’s cooking has been able to pick up after the first few charters of the season, the beginning of below deck Mediterranean Season 9 was incredibly difficult for the boss. Jono’s struggles surrounded following the dietary preferences of the charter guests and incorporating what they wanted into the menus He was creating for their time on Mustik. With an inability to take feedback on his flavors and spices, Chef Jono struggled to create dishes that the charter guests enjoyed, even after receiving feedback from guests, crew and the captain himself.
Captain Sandy can’t trust him
He cannot cook according to the specifications of the guests
Although it was difficult for Jono to cook to the specifications that the guests wanted, especially since his background is not in Mediterranean-style food, his expertise in the kitchen should allow him to create dishes that work for everyone. Captain Sandy saw that she could not trust Jono with the meals he needed to make When it is left to its own devices, that should be a serious offense. If Chef Jono can’t make meals that the guests will enjoy, how can Captain Sandy continue to work with him successfully?
Despite knowing that Jono had a hard time working in the confines of Mustique’s galley, she had a hard time encouraging Jono and trying to find new ways to work with him successfully. Captain Sandy knows she can’t trust Jono with the food the charter guests will consume during their trip on Mustique, but she chooses to let him continue to try to improve. Even with chance after chance, I think this will likely be Jono’s only stint on Below deck Mediterranean.
Chef Johnathan’s food is not up to standards
It’s causing serious issues
Throughout the charter season, Jono’s meals have been sub-par in various ways. During the first charter of the season, provisions were missing causing Jono to be unable to prepare any of the dishes he wanted to. This was not Yana’s fault, but the fact that he had to think on his feet was difficult for him, because he had a plan in mind about what he wanted to serve. During the following charters, however, Jono had full provisions and still struggled to make the meals requested.
In a piece of early Below Deck Med Season 9 charters that are spectacularly weak for Jono, He couldn’t make food that the charter guests wanted to eat. Using flavor and spice combinations that guests openly complained about, Jono didn’t take feedback well and struggled to implement any change. He served cold meals, created dishes that the guests did not like, and finally made himself prepare food that was not up to the high standard of a luxury superyacht.
Chef Johnathan will likely be fired before the end of the season
He appears to have made a big mistake
Although Jono was slightly better in the middle of the season, his time on Mustique may come to an end before they dock for the end of the charter season. In previews of upcoming episodes of Below deck Mediterranean, Jono is shown serving a guest a near-fatal meal when he’s already been warned about her allergy. One of the guests on a current charter said she was allergic to raw fish, and although her group wanted to have a sushi dinner, she would not be able to have any raw fish herself.
In previews for the next episode, it is shown that Jono accidentally serves the allergic guest a plate of raw fish. Although she does not appear to eat any of the food, she does inform someone that she cannot have raw fish, and Captain Sandy seems to take this very seriously. With someone being let go and getting teased in the preview, I believe Jono will be fired before the end of the season. With such an unfortunate experience on Below deck MediterraneanI imagine this will be the last time viewers see Jono on the show.
