Chef Jack Luby prepares for season 8 of Below Deck Mediterranean

On Below Deck, it’s common for the chefs to become instant fan favorites. Considering some of the charter guests’ crazy dinner requests, it’s always entertaining watching what the culinary masters are able to come up with on the platter.

According to Chef Jack, he was trained in Liverpool and has been preparing dishes ever since. “I have not stopped since I was sixteen,” he said of his passion for cooking.

As Jack explained, one of the main reasons he decided to become a chef was so that he could travel. “The initial reason for being a chef was to travel,” he revealed. “We didn’t really have the best diet growing up. Frozen meals and stuff… french fries, and McDonalds.” He then laughed, admitting, “I don’t think I’ve tried a vegetable since I was sixteen.”

Fortunately, Jack has already gotten support from former cast mates of the Bravo series. Particularly, he was offered a helping hand from former Below Deck chef, Dave White.

“Good luck mate, enjoy the ride!” Dave said on Jack’s Instagram post while promoting season 8. “Chuck me a message if you need any advice during your journey pal, wish I had some.”

Jack responded by singing Dave’s praises. “Thank you mate appreciate it,” he wrote. “I have a tough act to follow.”

Keep up with Jack’s journey by tuning in to season 8 of Below Deck Med.
