‘Below Deck Med’: Watch Chef Mathew Completely Lose His Cool With Lexi

Things are heating up in the galley this week on Below Deck Mediterranean. Maybe not so much in a tasty way, but definitely in a spicy way.

During Episode 3, second stew Lexi is tasked with collecting more lamb from the galley for the hungry charter guests, but when she asks Chef Mat to plate some more, she missteps. Literally.

“Would you mind grabbing me a platter and watch that pile I got there,” Mat tells her, pointing to a pile of dirt he’s just swept up from the galley floor. So Lexi grabs the platter…and also steps in the pile.

Chef Mat gets to work slicing the meat while Lexi stands by watching him, helping herself to pieces of the lamb as well. “You’re stepping right in my pile,” he whines to her when he notices the location of her feet.

“Don’t worry about the fucking dirt,” she tells him as she continues to chow down. “Right now is not the time.”

But going through Mat’s head? “I’m gonna fucking snap,” he says bluntly in his interview.

Lexi, for some reason, does it again! “Can you please not step in that, I just swept it there?” he asks her.

“Don’t worry about it, I will sweep it up. Just focus on putting the lamb on the plate,” she snaps back during bites of her snack. But Mat’s not having it.

“You can’t talk to me like you’re the boss,” he says to her. “I’m in charge of the galley. Never again,” he says, wagging his finger at her. “Never again. Get out,” he says, pointing her and her “always be nice to the chef” rule right out of his workspace. Big yikes!

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Monday at 9 pm ET/PT on Bravo, with episodes streaming a week early on Peacock.
