After Captain Sandy Yawn sacked Kiko Lorran, the Below Deck Med chef reacted the way most of us would if we'd just been fired on national television — by going to bed and crying all night (per Vulture). But, rather than walk off the boat the next morning like many of us would have liked to do, Chef Kiko stayed on board and finished out the rest of the charter, cooking for the crew and guests as if it was (still) his job. What a class act!
Per The Daily Dish, Kiko explained in August 2020, "I ask myself, 'Am I a quitter?' I never quit. I never quit. Never quit a job. Never. It's better I finish because that's my personality. And that's why I decided to stay, even though it was hurting me so bad." The chef's decision led to him cooking one of his best meals of the season for the charter's final dinner, and he was rewarded with a round of applause from the guests. Kiko noted to the outlet, "I think I left with a good impression," adding, "Food is love for me. It's not just technique or anything like that ... I was proud of myself."
