What a great conversation.... thanks for having us!
Two of my fav people, saving this for later.
Wonderful to see Ebbers completgely out of his comfort zone, but absolutely smash the interview. Good work Ebbers.
What do you server Rio to bulk up :)
I absolutely love "Sorted Food" - I am always so happy when I see another video has been published. Keep up the AMAZING work guys!!
Hearing about Sorted's travels, and watching every video you put out, I'd love for you to come back to the US and taste more of our food. If you come to Michigan, I can start to give you the tour, but it will branch.
Wildest crossover I've ever seen. Ben's not even a football fan, his mates would be fuming lol.
I think a lot of it is the fact that Ben is super eloquent and good with word artistry so basically a good rep for the team
"We've never gone viral" - I think the Valencian's would disagree with you Ben 😂
The Spanish never forget
Was looking for this comment
Palelle Buritto 😂
Nobody forgets the Spanish inquisition. (Yes, I know it's a play on words)
Could be nice if Sorted ask Rio to compete in their sub 10 min Ultimate Burger challenge
Needs to happen!
Ben is so mature and passionate. He really cares and I love him for that.
Never expected to see Rio Ferdinand and Ben from Sorted who ive been watching for like 7 years having a chat, weird world haha
You might not have expected it BUT how good is it!?
Man, I love that. Long may Sorted Foods reign. I think another foundation to their impact is making food/cooking fun and goofy and realize it’s okay for something to not be fabulous all the time. I was just talking to a friend today about the fact that his kids are all adventurous eaters. His key is to not use food as a weapon or punishment - you’ll sit there until you clean your plate - and he shows them how fun it can be to make their own butter or see how a salsa comes together from store ingredients.
From watching the Sorted Food videos, I have been able to expand my usage of ingredients in ways that I was too scared to try before. I have particularly enjoyed using mustard and honey in interesting ways. I have also challenged my mom and sister to each join me in a "use it up pantry challenge" to reduce what might be thrown away. We are pulling out the oldest stuff in our pantry and planning meals.
We love the sound of your "use it up pantry challenge"! 💛
so adorable watching ebbers flow his emotions over food to Rio
What an interesting conversation…I’m in the Sorted community so maybe a bit biased but this is when TH-cam is great recommending linked subjects, thanks Ben.
Sorted has in fact gone viral a few times. Mostly because countries freaking out about food heritage.
I saw Ben and Sorted first from Korean Englishman, and I watch every single episode they put out since and never go back.
Keep up the good job Ben and Sorted Team.
Same! Though I’m also really enjoying going through the back catalogue 😊
Ben is so eloquent and passionate about food
He sure is! We loved hearing his story. 💛
Don't ask me why - but when Ben said he has brought one physical thing that means a lot to him, I expected a courgette 😂 Maybe I have been watching too many of his courgette recipes, lol!
😏
Great Interview with Ben :) need to get Rio on the sorted food channel with all of them
Food-ball 😅
Glad you loved it, Jamie! 💛
What a nice chat! Thank you for the interview! I am happy for Ben & the bunch to have been able to maintain & nourish their friendship and core of their business since forever and let us participate in their joy & good vibes! I hope they will be around for the next decade and longer. It always cheers me up to watch their episodes and I never miss one.
Lovely interview! Ben is a delight.
Now this isn’t something I expected to see. Love all from Sorted!
So many times I've clicked on a SortedFood video to have a few laughs and maybe learn about a new food only to learn about sustainable farms, fair trade foods and unique companies with a mission I want to support. Ben seems to be very well read on such things and aware of who is on the cutting edge in food production or ingredients. I'd love to see them expand even more to influence more folks to be mindful in their purchases and cooking options.
Yes to this! Ben is leading the way in sustainable food systems and we love to see it.
We love you Ebbers !! What an interview, engaging and honest 💛
We love him too! 💛
Great conversation, thank you. I love watching cooking programmes and trying out new things and SortedFood has been a big influence.
This is a collab I love ❤
Ben you are just so passionate and genuine, it’s hard to not follow your work with a smile.
We can't agree with you more! This has been one of our fave interviews!
Excellent interview. Some great questions, and I really enjoyed Rio’s style. Doesn’t interrupt too much, sort of blunt as to be to the point but genuinely interested and not rude. Nice
Ben is so eloquent and lovely 🎉
Love the Sorted guys so much.
The video I was not expecting to ever see, love how passionate Ben is about food
Glad you enjoyed it, Alex! 💛
Good chat this one!
I watch way too much youtube lol united fan and Rio was my hero growing up. Also a youtube general and have been watching the sorted boys for years also. Such a random connection but was great lool
Glad you enjoyed it!
WHAT EVEN 😮 it's the internet's favourite lovable chef! (next to THE James Curry)
It sure is!
I have learned so much from Sorted, it’s kept my passion for cooking alive and my curiosity engaged! My Q&A to what would Sorted do is how would they teach the next generation. For me, that looks like fostering positive memories with cooking for my daughter. I always try to have my baby in the kitchen with me, smelling what I’m cooking, tasting things, shaking spice containers, and just exploring food in general. I’m looking forward to starting a part-time, in-home preschool this year where a big part of the curriculum will be cooking and gardening.
Thanks for sharing! 💛
Loved this interview!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved this ❤ Great job, Ben! I enjoy the channel very much.
Glad you loved this interview! 💛
"And it's amazing how far a friendship has come and a journey has come. And ultimately we're still doing exactly the same thing as we were doing on day one."
Ben: "Hanging out and cooking great food"
Jamie: Being in charge of coloring the food and telling bad jokes
Mike: Flapping like a mofo
Baz: Using all the pretentious ingredients cause money's gotta roll
It's an amazing story!
Fantastic interview! I absolutely love "Sorted Food" and Ben!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
Great interviewer and interviewee! Followed this channel from beginning ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your support 💛
Wow😮 love sortedfood and when this showed up at my suggestions i knew it would be good. What a crossover
Glad you liked it!
This is a crossover I didn’t expect …
SortedFood is amazing!!
Lets goo ben😂
The Crossover I didn't know I needed amazing 😍😍
Great interview! Ben's a real champ.
He sure is, glad you enjoyed the interview! 💛
We think of “ what would sorted do “ Ben would be proud as I clean up as I go , what’s in refrigerator we can put together for a meal. And we look forward to your videos. Always looking for new ones but go back to old ones too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The rules when traveling is great.
Got really friendly with a clothes shop next to the hotel. They pointed us to many different places, and one time they got me and my family in another hotel that had a theme night just for that hotel. They drove us there, and even got us in to see the show.
Great interview. Was introduced to Sorted Food by my son when he came home during lockdown and we are now addicts! Keep up the good work boys and look forward to seeing an episode with Rio😊
Thanks Marie, glad you liked it! 💛
Ben is so eloquent!
Been a Sorted fan since they featured Korean Englishman/Jolly (who I'd love to see you feature). I've learned so much from them.
i love ben
So do we! 💛
This is mental.
Why Sorted Food is loved by everyone??
Because they are not claiming to be the masters of everything. They are cooking and having fun. If they are doing something wrong they are open to learn and apologize. And when they claim to do something authentic they bring in professionals who are masters of those particular cuisines.
Mad crossover but really amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
Ben. Talking sense. A brilliant food and cooking communicator. Watch Sorted Food.
I bet when Ben was going to cooking school, he never thought he'd be interviewed by the then Manchester United and England centre back.
I always wonder if it's really true that households have the largest amount of food waste or if other parts of the food industry are just incentivised to under-report it. Still a good idea to combat household food waste though.
Great. I'm watching so much sorted content that now TH-cam's recommending channels I'm not even remotely aware of 😂😂😂 oh the internet
As someone who works in a big restaurant, when the food at the end of the night is left over, we are told not to give it to anyone. Especially not if we are wearing uniform because if someone takes it and is unwell or has an allergic reaction then my company don't want to be held liable.
It's ridiculous.
It's not that ridiculous, as that would literally happen...and has
Sounds completely reasonable
It’s not ridiculous. If you really work in a restaurant you’ll know it depends what you mean as ‘leftover’. You’ll know that everything has stickers with ‘use-by’ dates on, vs ‘best-by’ which is totally different. You’ll know that ‘leftovers’ can mean multiple different things - cooked or uncooked, packaged, refrigerated or frozen to re-use. Most places allow those to be safely taken home by staff, or boxed by customers. That’s NOT the same as scraping leftovers off plates or allowing expired food or buffet grub to be sent home with staff or customers after 4-5 hrs+ on a table or hot-plate. Stop trying to insinuate negative shit from one innocent comment. Ben is as good a chef as they come, and SortedFood prioritises food safety in every video.
@Shelsight why would I lie about working in a restaurant? What an unambitious lie.
I know what you mean and I wasn't trying to insinuate that Sorted or Ben aren't committed to reducing food waste. I was merely saying that places I've worked in the hospitality industry are so scared of giving stuff away that perfectly good food, eg. mistakes, extras and the like, are being purposefully thrown in the bin instead of given to staff or the lime
If you're in America, look up the food laws, there's literally a law that prevents anyone from suing a restaurant or other organization for donated food.
Iirc its called a good Samaritan law, and its a federal law, designed to have a uniform standard so that corporations have the same law in all states as previously it was a mix and messy to give food legally.
If you're country doesn't have one, a copy of the law sent to your law makers is a good place to start the conversation.
A Google search for donated food laws will bring it up. ❤
To answer 15:10 in Sorted terms.
"We are Sorted. A group of mates who have your back when it comes to all things food. We uncovered the tools that'll help us all cook and eat smarter." - Sorted
I must be the only person who actually likes grocery shopping.
I love it too.🤣
Me too!!
Same !
He's right the supermarkets make it worse though none of the staff have the expertise a butcher use to a fish monger use too.
What about Supermarket food waste? They reduce the price a little bit when the sell by is near and would rather bin it than give it away, I should know as i work for a leading supermarket chain!
that can depend on the chain it self. Here in the Netherlands the two biggest chains pride themselves in donating a lot of their own brand products to foodbanks.
however it can be more of a challenge when it comes to products of A brand products. there it might be those companies that don't want to or require there food to be repacked so the brand is not showing.
then there are other stores that use the food they do toss away to heat their distribution centers.
often it can be complicated even if they want to. (as in the corporal top of said chain)
Where I currently work we have an app where food that's still good for a while can be registered on it and then sold for half the price and even better discounts sometimes. Most of it is frozen so it's not wasted when the expiration date comes
It's stuff like that that's helping a lot
Rio and Ebbers? Why has TH-cam waited this long to push this to me?
Glad you finally found us!
Am I the only one who’s thinking: ‘What the f is WeAre8?!’
Jamie Oliver, Cmon. Emril Live or Iron Chef. Or "Yan can Cook"
I love Yan Can Cook!
@@jukeboxjaime8795 I can't believe he said Jamie Oliver. I have watched 10 recipe vids from him and each one was offensively bad.
@@vagabondwastrel2361 I don't really know who Jamie Oliver is.
@@jukeboxjaime8795 search bar imo.
Great interview, love the pair of them.
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
Love this interview. Big fan of sorted food and Ben. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
This has to be the most bizarre colab on TH-cam. It's awesome though!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
