The Below Deck alum Ben Robinson was an on-and-off part of the franchise for around six years, but has left completely. Here is everything you need to know.
Ben is the OG Chef of the Below Deck franchise who joined during the very first episode in 2013. He remained part of the show up until Season 4. He later also joined Below Deck Med for Season 1 and Season 4.
The Chef ended up joining the Bravo reality show after 15 years of work experience in high end-restaurants. Ben was also famously known for working at the Fat Duck restaurant.
Ben was always well loved for his competency by the Below Deck cast members and he was called to step in for other Chefs on several occasions. This included the Below Deck Med Season 4 firing of Chef Mila Kolomeitseva and Below Deck Season 3 exit of Chef Leon Walker.
