When Bugsy Drake stepped onboard the yacht as Second Stew on Bravo's Below Deck Med, she showed the world the magic of tablescaping. With the help of some unconventional centrepieces, a few artfully folded napkins, well-placed lighting, and a generous sprinkling of décor, tablescaping becomes the art of transforming a meal into an adventure that your guests will never forget. Bugsy's gorgeous, over-the-top themes have captivated guests and earned her legions of devoted fans. Now she's ready to share her passion and talent for creating unforgettable dining experiences, honed during nearly a decade working on the world's most exclusive yachts and private islands.
