Aesha Scott and Elena Dubaich may not be chefs themselves, but the Below Deck Mediterranean stews know a thing or two about proper kitchen etiquette.
How to Watch
Watch Below Deck Mediterranean on Mondays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.
On the Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 premiere, Elena chose to wake up Chef Johnathan Shillingford when the guests were asking for late-night food service. During the subsequent charter, Johnathan prepared eggs for the guests' breakfast an hour early — which led primary guest Gigi Fernandez to send hers back.
During their joint appearance on the June 18 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Mustique interior team crew members Elena and Aesha weighed in on the aforementioned egg drama, and Aesha revealed whether she would have woken up the chef.

"I was shocked to see that," Elena admitted about the moment when Chef Johnathan decided to make the eggs in advance. "Like, what is the thought process? Please explain this to me. Because even if breakfast is at 8:30, you need to wait for the guests to wake up before you make eggs, surely."
Aesha wasn't aware that the chef had done that until she watched the show back.
"I had no idea," the New Zealander admitted. "That's the first time I saw that."
"Mortifying," Elena added.

While Captain Sandy Yawn didn't believe that Elena should have woken Chef Johnathan up to cook snacks for the guests, Aesha felt like her stew was right.
Aesha first noted that she felt badly for Elena when she watched the stew debate whether to knock on Chef Johnathan's cabin door or not.
"I really, really felt for her when I watched it back, and seeing her standing there voice quivering, hands kind of shaking, how stressed she was about to knock on the door," Aesha said. "It just broke my heart, and I wish that she came and woke me up."
The interior team leader felt like Elena had the right to knock on the door because Chef Johnathan hadn't prepped any late-night food in advance.
"It said in the preference sheet that the guests want late-night snacks," the chief stew added. "If he forgot to prepare them before he went to bed, he should have gotten up and made them."
