Ben Robinson: The Galley Had a Dark Energy
Chef Ben shares his thoughts on the new crew members and what it's like joining so late in the charter season.
Bravotv.com: What had you been up to before joining the Eros crew?
Ben Robinson: I run a couple of businesses, an upscale catering company and a health consulting practice. I was cooking up in Maine and then summoned back down south for another event. But I clearly had to drop everything to rejoin Captain Lee and his motley crew. He provides the most colorful charter seasons... God Bless him!
Bravotv.com: What was it like coming onto Eros so late in the season?
BR: It’s always tough gelling with an established crew, but I found it easy since I knew most of them. They were very accommodating. I must add I sensed a lot of tension on the boat, and the galley had a very dark energy...
Bravotv.com: What was your first impression of the new crew members?
BR: They were all unique and wonderful...
Bravotv.com: Was it difficult working with Kate given your past relationship?
BR: Actually, the chief stew and chef will always butt heads, no matter what past circumstances there have been. Kate has the trickiest job in dealing with crew, and I have the biggest work load. It makes for a stressful environment, not to be confused with sexual tension...
