Chef Marcos Spaziani explains why he would never return to Below Deck

Below Deck star and celebrity chef Marcos Spaziani opened up about the possibility of returning to Below Deck in an exclusive interview with Dexerto.

Bravo fans may recognize celebrity chef Marcos Spaziani from his time on Below Deck. Although he only appeared on the popular reality show for one season, he became a fan favorite due to his laid-back personality and jaw-dropping dishes — not to mention a bloody head injury.

Spaziani has teamed up with celebrity chef Louis Huh to open a brand new restaurant in Beverly Hills, aptly named “Lou’Mar.” The restaurant combines the cuisine of Venezuela, Spaziani’s home country, and Korea, with Chef Louis being Korean-American.

We had the chance to attend a special press evening before Lou’Mar officially opened to the public and chat with both chefs about their work together, their plans for the future and whether a return to reality TV may or may not be in the cards for Spaziani. .

Chef Marcos Spaziani explains why Below Deck’s return would be ‘risky’

For Marcos, there is a huge difference between cooking on a yacht and cooking in a normal kitchen. He admits that he loves sailing and could go back to cooking on boats for fun…but returning to Below Deck just isn’t an option in the foreseeable future.

“I would go back (to work on boats),” he told us. “I love sailing. I love the ocean. You know, I’m a surfer. I’ve been in the ocean my whole life. Yes, definitely, I would come back to have fun. Working on boats is a very lonely life. It’s a lot of money, you travel the world, it’s beautiful – but you’re almost alone all the time. You’re around a lot of people, but they’re not the people you want to be with.

“Are you going back below deck?” It will not happen. It’s too risky for my career. It’s a reality TV show that I came out of very clean, but next year it could be the other way around. So, activity will be affected. »

Marcoz Spaziani Teases Traveling Cooking Show After Below Deck Fame

Although he’s stepping away from Below Deck, Marcos let us in on something exciting he and Louis are working on. He told us the chefs are hosting a traveling network cooking show, which he says is much “less risky” than his appearance on Below Deck.

In this show, there will be no drama, but rather all about food and travel experience, which will end in Beverly Hills, at Lou’Mar, for the finale.

“What happens is our producer builds a show for us. It’s a traveling show, and we don’t know when it will take place, but it’s already pitched. The network, the platform like that. It’s less risky.

“We’re going to do what we do, which is cook. There will be no drama. It’s not going to be, “You said that, you slept with that (person). » For us it will be about traveling, cooking and bringing the experience of the show to the restaurant. And the show ends here, at the restaurant.

Chef Louis also came up with a fun idea for another show, suggesting the duo could rent a sailboat to travel and cook together.

“You know what would be fun?” he asked. “Instead of going back below deck, I think what would be more amazing would be if we had our own sailboat and were like, ‘Hey, come sail with us!’ With chef Marcos in the kitchen!

Looks like these two have big ideas in store as they prepare to take on the crowds of Beverly Hills. The duo confirmed that Lou’Mar will be reservations only, so fans will need to make sure to book in advance on Open Table if they want to experience it for themselves.
