Below Deck star thinks she’s “the worst” chief stew?

In that same interview, Kate talked about her former career. She even admitted that she wasn’t a great chief stew. But it’s not what you think. Kate revealed that the beginnings of her career were rough because she couldn’t handle the physical demands of the job.

“When I started, I was not good,” Kate Chastain explained. “I was the worst 3rd stew ever, I was like, ‘You want me to work more than eight hours?'”

She even had to apologize to a chief stew for acting like “such a brat.” Thankfully, she found her footing as a chief stewardess. Some fans would say that she was one of the best. But she made her share of mistakes, like her towel origami skills in Season 3.
