100% Agree. I haven't watched TV in years but whenever I go into a bar and they're playing a random show, I can't help but be appalled at how genuinely awful they are compared to some of the content TH-camrs like Sorted produce. Like I enjoy watching it, but shows like GBBO should at least be able to put in the effort to learn how to say "Pico de Gallo". It's just poor effort.
I'm from Atlanta but it was great to see Savannah get the attention it so richly deserves. It gets passed over for Charleston so much (yes, I know Sorted also went there too).
I'm from northwest Georgia, and they did a great job. Disappointed that they actually make gavy biscuits in the thumbnail and didn't actually make any, since that's arguably the biggest southern staple, but great overall.
Agreed! I'm a chef in Athens & I will readily admit that, unless you have weeks of time to cruise backroads, Savannah is the best city in the state for classic Southern fare.
How open and respectful Sorted is to other people and other cultures and the willingness to learn from them is something we all need to strive for every single day. Once again, a great video to watch and a great example set. Great job!
Agreed, I think it's even more important nowadays to make sure people understand that we can share in eachothers' cultures, respectfully, and build new things together. It's what humanity is all about.
As someone who's been following Sorted since you were in that tiny space, I knew there was something right about you guys. The respect and love you have for food translates naturally with culture and people.
Fan-fucking-tastic video fellas. Just saw your post over on Insta, and it's a shame that people are acting like bigots, but I'm so proud of all of you for standing your ground and figuratively telling them to jog on. The only thing that tolerant people can't tolerate is intolerance. Never take it lying down. Always fight for yourself and others, especially those who are underrepresented.
Hi y’all, this is Marie, the queen in yellow!! What a pleasure to be featured in such a cool and well done video! It makes me truly so proud of my city and our culture! Thank you to the entire team at Sorted!! You all are world class and me, J, and everyone in our larger community in Savannah are truly so grateful!! Cheers!💖
Cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I'm a member of the LGBTQ2SA community (I'm a B) who is a chanteuse in the Burlesque scene here. I just wanted to say I was really impressed by your presenting of the many cultures of Savannah. Very professional! I learned a lot. Wishing you well.
I'm a real southern young lady born and bread. my mothers from Louisiana my dad from Alabama and my extended family from Georgia which is were most of us have landed now. So to see the boys dive head first into southern cuisine and culture absolutely just tickles me pink. Then to see how they just absolutely knocked it out of the park at the end of the video I just couldn't help but beam with joy. I've probably watched and showed off these videos a dozen times over. I love you all and have a great admiration for all you do and your general respect an attitude twoard everything. So plz continue to be un apologetically you and doin great things.
Don’t know why folks were mad. This was a great episode. Love how you’re willing to learn and appreciate different cultures and experiences. Keep being you!
I just wanna say how much I appreciate the boys not only taking time to highlight gullah culture from a food perspective, but also taking the time to include a historic gay bar and drag performers in this video as part of the city and the people and the culture. Right now it means so much for showcases of american culture, especially southern culture, to show this range of experience and diversity positively and as part of one whole. I really appreciated that bit. I know Sorted steers clear of politics, which made them including it all the more powerful - It shouldn't be a political statement to have fun with some queens in drag for a night. It looks like you all had a blast. I'm so jealous of everyone who got to eat that spread at the end. Looked fantastic.
What I’m envious of isn’t that you get to see these places, it’s HOW you get to see and experience them. You’re able to really dive in and see things that the average tourist perhaps wouldn’t. That’s how to visit a new place!
@@celticechowhen I was a kid I spent a lot of time in Savannah with my grandparents, mostly at the beach but there were other things we did like touring around the town, I don't have the best memory of it though, it was over 30 years ago but I want to go back someday and see how much it has changed and what hasn't.
I couldn't stop smiling while watching this video. I'm not even southern but the openness for cultures and community was just really touching. It is always a pleasure to watch you guys!
Turns out that biscuits are one of the harder things to get right... if you want them like you had them. Here's a Southern tip: Pick up some bags of White Lily flour. It's a soft wheat instead of the hard wheat that most flours are made with. Some people swear that Southern biscuits can't be made to the same tenderness without using White Lily flour specifically.
Bigger problem that I think he screwed up was over working the dough. If you work it too much it ruins the biscuits. It was pretty clear from seeing the rolled out dough that he over mixed it.
The right amount of baking powder helps keep em airy too. Also I've never had a square southern biscuit. You roll it out, use a round biscuit cutter, and then roll the rest out for a few more. Whatever's left are some fun shapes to feed the kids. I just wanted to hear how close they got to authentic
This and biscuits are one of those things that look like you’re doing it wrong until suddenly it comes together. And experience is really the only way you know.
@@CupcakeGremlin The problem is you can't tell from looking at the finished biscuit if it was good or not. The difference is in the texture and how it feels when you bite into it. Couple that with inviting southerns to eat and you would never know from any reactions. I came from a family of southerners on one side and yankees on the other. Yankees had no problem criticizing someones cooking to their face. Southerners were the polar opposite and would tell you how much the enjoyed something that tasted like shit, and then discuss it with others about how bad it was after the cook had left. So in this video I doubt we got the real take on what the folks they invited to sample the food really thought. The cooks would only have been able to tell by how the people reacted and even then it can be subtle differences in how things are said that would tell you what they really thought. Asking how you made something or saying that an interesting flavor what did you use are good things they usually mean it doesn't taste right. Hell with southerners manners make life a pain in the ass, they will often offer you something that they really don't want to give you like the last piece of a pie, and expect that you will say no with the understanding that both of you are just being polite... and if you really did want to offer it to them you would offer it again.
This series is like Diners, Drivins and Dives, with Guy Fieri. Why I love that show is the same reason I love these episodes from you! You show real local food, meeting the staff, and having fun enjoying food. You are all so respectful of the types of food, and really seem to appreciate all of it!
I cannot put in words how grateful I am to whoever decided to make a playlist with all the 2022 videos in chronological order. I have been watching these all week cuz I missed out on all the videos in order and I've been loving it. Its also great to see how they ebb and flow and learn things throughout the year. Also loving Barry's hair journey this year!
Favorite video of yours for a long long time. Amazing to see as someone who has lived in Atlanta GA my whole life. Also love your response to the hate you received because of inclusion and pride in this video. Y'all took it with so much grace and it really shows why you guys are the best channel on TH-cam. Please keep coming back because the south has so much to offer!!
I really enjoy the vibe of this video. Everyone seems super welcoming to each other and appreciative of the effort the guys and the team put into understanding and learning of the southern culture. And it is just nice to see a group of people spending a nice evening together
I love the vibe that happens when three Brits come to the Southern US and really immerse themselves in the culture like I did when visiting the UK! I loved this! Amazing work, lads!
Nothing beats Sorted in America videos for me. Top quality content with a boat-full of learning to be had from parts of the world a lot of people never get to see. Thanks for this series guys!
This episode made me cry - I love people coming together and appreciating each other showing love and kindness! Great job Ben, Jamie, Mike and the Sorted Food team - from Tacoma, Washington I love and appreciate you all!!!
Sorta Kinda Local here... I live in South Carolina. Thank you so much for highlighting the beautiful places and people and most IMPORTANTLY THE FOOD in this series. Southern food has a long history that is more complex that many give it credit for, it is an amazing amalgam of cultures, socio economic levels, history, people, and creativity. Seeng it 'upscaled' while keeping its soul and flavor is wonderful. Oh, and the Drag Queens kicked ass! Having a Drag Mom is an awesome and LUCKY way of seeing the city! Thanks guys, the effort and care you bring to the content of your channel is very appriciated.
People hate on American food, but I don’t understand why. We eat the best food food from all over the world and our own creations which are astounding!
Really appreciate including the drag Queens. Highlighting now sadly often vilified part of the culture and local performance art is the type of thing that makes me feel welcome to this channel
Just a small note, Gentlemen. If this really is a part two (and I'm not sure whether it is or not), it would be so helpful to your many fans to put a link to part one in the drop down. If I've misunderstood and this isn't really a part two, please just ignore and as always, thanks!
As someone who comes from immigrant parents and was born and raised in Atlanta, it's so special and refreshing to see people explore Georgia for every part and corner of the culture! I hope y'all had a great time and please come visit us again soon!!!!
Side note Marie was awesome with the facts and Miss Jay with that death drop, just 👩🍳💋. Jamie as a Cribs Host was great. (Bloopers of the shuffle board?) We need to know how Ben's biscuits went however everything looked amazing!! Less is more... except the portions.
Love seeing people from other country’s actual experience some culture from the USA. People think we’re all just burgers and gross but no we have way more cultures to experience then most places which is even more impressive for how young we are as a country!
Just come from the Twitter posts about seeing hateful comments under here. Can’t really believe that supposed sorted viewers would think those kind of things, it’s clear that this channel and community have never stood for that. Especially seeing all the hate poppy got too, I really appreciated sorted standing up for her. Ridiculous that people get so pressed. I haven’t even watched the video yet but very excited too!! Love an always appreciative viewer x
There are no hateful comments really, just people expressing themselves after realizing that what they thought was an apolitical show became suddenly political.
@@John.Connor_ what even is that supposed to mean? Like what showing different people or that different people exist is political?. Like what are you all even on about
Thanks, guys. I'm making my next vacation destination, Savanna Georgia. This series of videos really was a love letter. This girl from Detroit Michigan wants to experience the Georgia coast.
I love seeing more uses for mead! Mead’s one of my favorites drinks to have, but seeing even small possibilities on how to pair or cook with it is great!
I love that y'all have done Charleston and now Savannah. Proud Southern boy getting to see our food culture respected. The Biscuits was definitely a land mine lol You mess up a Southerners biscuit you in trouble. haha Glad y'all enjoyed your time in the South.
I'm laughing at Ben panicking over making biscuits; I'm a Brit who lived in Georgia for a while, biscuits were the first and easiest Southern thing I ever learned to cook.
@@Lorin1228 my grandma and my mother. You can make acceptable biscuits easy, but great ones are hard AF to get right and require some kind of old lady voodoo magic to learn. It's a thing that takes a very long time to master and most people who HAVE mastered it don't have an exacting recipe and need to SHOW you how to do it and perfect through practice and feel. Thems just the facts and the biscuits in this video they made are testament to that bc they were flat as hell and not right 🤷♀️
I'm so glad you got to experience southern culture steeped in tradition with food at the very heart of what binds us. It originated in part from Great Britain and married with African and other cultures into a unique culinary identity all of its own. Your guests were so appreciative!
Such a great video. Thank you for always representing and supporting loving communities❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And then you even more for defending these communities and not backing down. Tears in my eyes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰 And i thought you were a cooking channel 🥰😂😂
@@John.Connor_ what’s political about embracing all cultures and allowing people to live their own lives John? I thought guys like you didn’t like people or politicians interfering with their ‘freedoms’ - yet here you are wanting to proscribe what clothes people can wear, who they love, or how they express themselves…
1. They've made political jokes plenty of times over the years and have never shied away from stating their position on inclusivity. 2. They didn't make it political. The bigots and dickheads commenting did
From someone born and raised in Savannah, I absolutely loved this series. I am so happy that you guys came here! When I saw the first video I could not wait for this food challenge to see your take on our southern and uniquely Savannah cuisine. The spread looked so beautiful and delicious. Thank you all for highlighting Savannah for how beautiful it truly is. 💜
So excited to see you give love to the Savannah Bee Company!!! The owner is a friend of a family friend and they're always one of my must-visits when I'm in Savannah. Their honey is amazing and all their honey-based products are incredible too (I'm partial to the Earl Grey lip balm in particular). It made me so happy to see you guys there!
Thank you for sharing your experiences here! I just saw your IG post, which saddened me greatly. Yet, what a community you have that have rallied around with support. That’s testament to what you stand for and what you aim to achieve. Thank you!
My family has been in Savannah since more or less the founding of the city, my great grandfather owned and ran the wholesale produce market downtown for 50 years…my great uncle was one of the chief detectives on the Jim Williams Saga…point is I’m as Savannahian as they come. Y’all did the city proud. Seriously, y’all made the city look good and took it seriously. Savannah always kind of has been the eclectic and unknown sister to Charleston. Thanks for highlighting my home. Love y’all forever for that.
I am a longtime fan of you guys and seeing you go out with Jay and Marie was just incredible. My favorite things- sorted, food, travel and DRAG! Thank you, boys! ❤❤❤
Without a doubt this is probably my favorite video y'all have ever made! Loved the energy, the creativity, taking a big risk outside your normal world! The food looked great, but the smiles on all of the faces was a winner!
I have lived in the UK for nearly 8 years now, American-born in New Jersey, late teens in Florida, and a few years in my early 20s i lived in South Carolina. My mother and grandmother was born and raised in Alabama, with a history from there. I've been cooking since i was in my early teens, learning from my Grandmothers (my paternal grandmother was born in the US, raised in NYC, but both parents and all older siblings were born in the UK) their recipes and techniques, as well as professionally when i was older......and will soon be opening a historic pub in Wales. I'm excited to cook and share what i have learned both food-wise, and hospitality-wise with the locals. I love what you guys did there, and glad to see you try the things i'm used to, since for the past 8 years i have been learning the British way, and the food offered here, and know how eye-opening it can be. Looking forward to sharing my food, and who knows, maybe one of you will try it too someday!
@@SortedFood Its called the Lletty Hotel in Mostyn, just south of Prestatyn, on the Dee Estuary. Lots of restoration going on, and hopefully we can be open this summer. 300 years old, haunted and has lots of cool history including a secret smugglers tunnel!
WOW!! Cannot express how very, very much I enjoyed the 2nd part of your southern experience and all the great people you met!! Savannah is such a great city, the people so lovely and welcoming and meeting the awesome bee guy!! (he could have a show of his own!) Your interactions and conversations with the beautiful drag queens and the care you took with dinner were absolutely fabulous!! You guys are totally awesome!
I really hope the Sorted Team reads this comment. Quick story: when I was back in high school ( late 90's) my dad would regularly chat in British chat rooms. For context, we live in North Carolina. He made friends with a couple and would even chat on the phone with them a couple of times. The subject of Southern style biscuits came up. We sent her my mother's recipe. She talked about how she could add vanilla or sugar to it and we told her "no, the sweet stuff is added after it's baked". Well, she made some for her husband and they loved them. She told my dad that her husband has her cook them on a regular basis. He was hooked. Biscuit recipes can vary slightly depending on the home. I think you guys did a great job!
You guys really delivered again! (On the dinner, and on the channel😁) I've know for years and years that Sorted is hands down the best food channel on the platform, and each time one of these food travel/city showcase vid's pop up I'm reminded just how right I am! Thanks for all you guys do, thanks to the team, and to the rest of the wonderful community who stick with you and give mountains of support. I would love to say it's crazy how far the channel's come, but it's 100% deserved! (and definitely not new, I still remember the lost & hungry tour years back!) Cheers for all the wonderful times yinz have had, and for the love of food & cooking!🍻
Love you guys! I was born in the South West and lived in Britain for 4 1/2 years, and it makes my heart happy to see real and meaningful exchanges between some of the best people Britain and the US have to offer. Keep doing what you and your amazing team are doing!
It’s always wonderful to see you guys embrace a new place and their food culture. You really did the South proud with your British take on the dishes you chose. I’m impressed (but not really surprised) that Ben made proper southern biscuits.. well done!! I worked at a southern restaurant and made probably thousands of biscuits; yours looked amazing! Everything looked delicious. 😊🎉🥳
This has been my absolute FAVORITE series. I love our south, love our people, love love love our food. Thanks for a wonderfully entertaining series. BTW I had to watch all these episodes with tissue by my side as I kept drooling. 🤤
It was really great that you included the segment with the drag queens considering the current political climate in the US for queer people, i was very happy to see you unashamedly support and platform them ❤️
@@SortedFood Really appreciate you guys, your whole team, and the message y'all just posted on your Facebook page. Bigotry and hate has no place here, or anywhere else. Thank you all for continuing to be a welcoming and inclusive and accepting community.
as someone from Georgia who's been watching yall for YEARS, im so glad you finally made it here! this was such a fun and heartwarming series, glad you guys had a great time
Just wanted to make sure everybody knows that your channel is in this video and in these comments advocating for inclusive culture. I've never donated to a channel directly before, as I'm no rich person, but it's really sweet to see you guys being awesome and telling the bigots to jog on. Nobody needs people who think the way some of the awful bigots in the comments have behaved, and you haven't been afraid to tell them so. Love you guys, and love you too, community.
Y'all did such honor to GA and SC across these four videos. I grew up on the border of the two, and this absolutely feels like my home. So often tourism shows or even food shows just put out the very obvious highlights that perhaps are not wrong but also not quite right. You found the magic and the people that a native can recognize.
As a queer person with bad experiences with men (in relation to their “approval” of my sexuality) it’s nice to see my favorite group of brits are accepting dudes.
This is one of the reasons I love working with food; the way different folks can come together over food is incredible. One of the reasons I love you Sorted Boys; your genuine fascination and respect for other cultures' food and traditions just shines through. Well done, guys! Much love from SoCal! 🤍
I’m not allowed to watch your videos without my fiancé (we treat it similar to watching the next episode of a show without the other!) but I’m SO tempted on this episode! This has been one of my favourite mini series you guys have done so far! Huge props to everyone involved.
As a born and raised southerner I’m not sure much brings more joy than seeing you boys be blown away by a simple biscuit… also slightly offended you keep comparing it to a scone. Lol 😆
According to a beekeeper I once heard those suits can be pretty warm. But if you feel something you need to take some care. If it goes down your spine, that's just sweat. If it goes up your spine, that's a bee.
From a coastal South Carolina raised fan, I just want to thank you so much for highlighting what I believe is a vastly uderappreciated cuisine and culture!
Been watching your channel for many years and I have to say…this video is phenomenal! You guys, and your team behind the scenes, absolutely crushed it. Keep doing stuff like this PLEASE!
I went to school in Savannah's historic district for a couple of years and this was a trip down memory lane. Didn't get much opportunity to see a lot of these locations, but there was an amazing japanese restaraunt named Sakura's where I had sushi for the first time and hooked me for life.
🥰 You showed you care about the people, their skills, their culture, their businesses and what they bring to the community. You aren't travelers for business or for pleasure even though those are aspects of your time in America. Chef and normals alike you are all ambassadors 🇬🇧🇺🇲.
This really makes my heart glad! I am so grateful that you have had an amazing experience and learned about "southern" cooking and the best American hospitality. Please come again soon.
This has been an amazing series. I loved learning about a state I can visit and find these places to enjoy. You are all so amazing I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. You make me want to explore more, experiment more, cook more, enjoy food more than I already do. Thank you for being you.
I went to college in Savannah and lived there for about 7 years and this makes me miss that amazing food so much. I've been to every place in this series and watching you guys enjoy it this much warms my heart
Ooh! It's always a bad move to watch your videos hungry! Everything looked fantastic and it seemed like such a lovely, welcoming place with really, really wonderful people. It's always such a joy to watch your adventures. I look forward to more.
these videos are absolutely amazing and inspirational, the amount of care, love and respect you put into the food is amazing, i honestly cannot wait for the next one x
@@SortedFood Our kids who live in the Savannah area had their wedding reception dinner at Pink House--great place, great history. I hope you guys got to experience the ARCHITECTURE of Savannah--it is truly unique and the character of the Squares. We're there often, but y'all come on up to Chattanooga sometime soon and we'll be glad to chaperone (smile) and I've an "in" up the road at Jack Daniels where, with all due respect to Mrs. Wilkes, the Miss Mary Bobo boarding house restaurant does that wonderful family style idea proud...with a little help from Jack-infused cinnamon/sugar/butter apples! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The trick with biscuits is they don't like to be handled. I think scones are more forgiving about that because of the texture difference. Looks like y'all did a great job!!
TV really is dead when channels like yours produce literal TV show quality production quality. Great job all!
Thanks so much Ben 🫶
Lots of YT channels have really become what TLC, Discovery etc. used to be.
@@hop-skip-ouch8798 And so many great history channels on YouTuve!! Esp since the tv history channel does almost nothing but non-history reality crap.

Couple that with inviting southerns to eat and you would never know from any reactions. I came from a family of southerners on one side and yankees on the other. Yankees had no problem criticizing someones cooking to their face. Southerners were the polar opposite and would tell you how much the enjoyed something that tasted like shit, and then discuss it with others about how bad it was after the cook had left. So in this video I doubt we got the real take on what the folks they invited to sample the food really thought. The cooks would only have been able to tell by how the people reacted and even then it can be subtle differences in how things are said that would tell you what they really thought. Asking how you made something or saying that an interesting flavor what did you use are good things they usually mean it doesn't taste right. Hell with southerners manners make life a pain in the ass, they will often offer you something that they really don't want to give you like the last piece of a pie, and expect that you will say no with the understanding that both of you are just being polite... and if you really did want to offer it to them you would offer it again.
This series is like Diners, Drivins and Dives, with Guy Fieri. Why I love that show is the same reason I love these episodes from you! You show real local food, meeting the staff, and having fun enjoying food. You are all so respectful of the types of food, and really seem to appreciate all of it!
Except this is real, and not staged.
I cannot put in words how grateful I am to whoever decided to make a playlist with all the 2022 videos in chronological order. I have been watching these all week cuz I missed out on all the videos in order and I've been loving it. Its also great to see how they ebb and flow and learn things throughout the year. Also loving Barry's hair journey this year!
here's me thinking I'll never see Ebbers do a death drop 😆 What a treat
As a Brit who grew up in Texas… this makes me miss the South. Amazing people. Thanks for this series. Took me back in lots of ways.
As a Texan let me just say that we miss you too. Dont be a stranger and do make sure you come back and visit. Bring the family, we love family.
I spent 4 1/2 years in Alabama, the hospitality and generosity of the people has stuck with me since....and obviously Biscuits and Gravy.
Favorite video of yours for a long long time. Amazing to see as someone who has lived in Atlanta GA my whole life. Also love your response to the hate you received because of inclusion and pride in this video. Y'all took it with so much grace and it really shows why you guys are the best channel on TH-cam. Please keep coming back because the south has so much to offer!!
I really enjoy the vibe of this video. Everyone seems super welcoming to each other and appreciative of the effort the guys and the team put into understanding and learning of the southern culture.
And it is just nice to see a group of people spending a nice evening together
I love the vibe that happens when three Brits come to the Southern US and really immerse themselves in the culture like I did when visiting the UK! I loved this! Amazing work, lads!
Nothing beats Sorted in America videos for me. Top quality content with a boat-full of learning to be had from parts of the world a lot of people never get to see. Thanks for this series guys!
This episode made me cry - I love people coming together and appreciating each other showing love and kindness! Great job Ben, Jamie, Mike and the Sorted Food team - from Tacoma, Washington I love and appreciate you all!!!
Sorta Kinda Local here... I live in South Carolina. Thank you so much for highlighting the beautiful places and people and most IMPORTANTLY THE FOOD in this series. Southern food has a long history that is more complex that many give it credit for, it is an amazing amalgam of cultures, socio economic levels, history, people, and creativity. Seeng it 'upscaled' while keeping its soul and flavor is wonderful. Oh, and the Drag Queens kicked ass! Having a Drag Mom is an awesome and LUCKY way of seeing the city! Thanks guys, the effort and care you bring to the content of your channel is very appriciated.
PLEASE tell me you saw the Charleston episodes! I'm in NC and would love your thoughts
@@meagansefner3215 it was great! You can't go wrong in the Low Country when it comes to food
People hate on American food, but I don’t understand why. We eat the best food food from all over the world and our own creations which are astounding!
Really appreciate including the drag Queens. Highlighting now sadly often vilified part of the culture and local performance art is the type of thing that makes me feel welcome to this channel
Just a small note, Gentlemen. If this really is a part two (and I'm not sure whether it is or not), it would be so helpful to your many fans to put a link to part one in the drop down. If I've misunderstood and this isn't really a part two, please just ignore and as always, thanks!
Great idea! Added as a card! Thanks.
As someone who comes from immigrant parents and was born and raised in Atlanta, it's so special and refreshing to see people explore Georgia for every part and corner of the culture! I hope y'all had a great time and please come visit us again soon!!!!
Side note Marie was awesome with the facts and Miss Jay with that death drop, just 👩🍳💋. Jamie as a Cribs Host was great. (Bloopers of the shuffle board?)
We need to know how Ben's biscuits went however everything looked amazing!! Less is more... except the portions.
Miss Jay is a good friend of mine! They’re very sweet, definitely follow them!
as others have said; you really blow tv out of the water with these episodes
Love seeing people from other country’s actual experience some culture from the USA. People think we’re all just burgers and gross but no we have way more cultures to experience then most places which is even more impressive for how young we are as a country!
So nice to see the 2nd Video in the Savannah Trip. I’m very excited to see the final mayhem where Huttlestorm and Ebbersnado collide.
Enjoy Pokhraj!
Just come from the Twitter posts about seeing hateful comments under here. Can’t really believe that supposed sorted viewers would think those kind of things, it’s clear that this channel and community have never stood for that. Especially seeing all the hate poppy got too, I really appreciated sorted standing up for her. Ridiculous that people get so pressed. I haven’t even watched the video yet but very excited too!! Love an always appreciative viewer x
There are no hateful comments really, just people expressing themselves after realizing that what they thought was an apolitical show became suddenly political.
@@John.Connor_ what even is that supposed to mean? Like what showing different people or that different people exist is political?. Like what are you all even on about
@@John.Connor_ STFU. What was political?
@@John.Connor_ literally no part of this video is political?? You think the existence of people is political? Piss off
@@iusedtowrite6667 lol we literally replied with the same thing there 😂
Thanks, guys. I'm making my next vacation destination, Savanna Georgia. This series of videos really was a love letter. This girl from Detroit Michigan wants to experience the Georgia coast.
You won't be disappointed, been vacationing there for a few years and there's always something new to do or try
That’s how I feel too - definitely need to make a trip to Savannah!
Check out the Savannah Bananas while you're there!
I love seeing more uses for mead! Mead’s one of my favorites drinks to have, but seeing even small possibilities on how to pair or cook with it is great!
I love that y'all have done Charleston and now Savannah. Proud Southern boy getting to see our food culture respected. The Biscuits was definitely a land mine lol You mess up a Southerners biscuit you in trouble. haha Glad y'all enjoyed your time in the South.
You guys met their kindness with appreciation and everyone looked happy. Ben was right this was television quality.
I'm laughing at Ben panicking over making biscuits; I'm a Brit who lived in Georgia for a while, biscuits were the first and easiest Southern thing I ever learned to cook.
EASY?! Great biscuits ain't an easy endeavor.
@@scandisnowgirl3696 depends who's teaching you 😁
@@Lorin1228 my grandma and my mother. You can make acceptable biscuits easy, but great ones are hard AF to get right and require some kind of old lady voodoo magic to learn. It's a thing that takes a very long time to master and most people who HAVE mastered it don't have an exacting recipe and need to SHOW you how to do it and perfect through practice and feel. Thems just the facts and the biscuits in this video they made are testament to that bc they were flat as hell and not right 🤷♀️
@@scandisnowgirl3696 fluffy and light are the way to go 😁 I dunno, maybe mine aren't 'great' but they're super fluffy and buttery 🤷♀️
I learned at the side of my Southern grandmama, beginning at the age of 7. I was in my 20s before I could make biscuits without worry.
I'm so glad you got to experience southern culture steeped in tradition with food at the very heart of what binds us. It originated in part from Great Britain and married with African and other cultures into a unique culinary identity all of its own. Your guests were so appreciative!
Except for the drag queens
Such a great video.
Thank you for always representing and supporting loving communities❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And then you even more for defending these communities and not backing down. Tears in my eyes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
And i thought you were a cooking channel 🥰😂😂
"And i thought you were a cooking channel" Me too, until they got political with all this...
@@John.Connor_ Poor baby 😢
@@John.Connor_ what’s political about embracing all cultures and allowing people to live their own lives John? I thought guys like you didn’t like people or politicians interfering with their ‘freedoms’ - yet here you are wanting to proscribe what clothes people can wear, who they love, or how they express themselves…
@@John.Connor_ Did we watch the same video? How is this political?
1. They've made political jokes plenty of times over the years and have never shied away from stating their position on inclusivity.
2. They didn't make it political. The bigots and dickheads commenting did
From someone born and raised in Savannah, I absolutely loved this series. I am so happy that you guys came here!
When I saw the first video I could not wait for this food challenge to see your take on our southern and uniquely Savannah cuisine. The spread looked so beautiful and delicious.
Thank you all for highlighting Savannah for how beautiful it truly is. 💜
So excited to see you give love to the Savannah Bee Company!!! The owner is a friend of a family friend and they're always one of my must-visits when I'm in Savannah. Their honey is amazing and all their honey-based products are incredible too (I'm partial to the Earl Grey lip balm in particular). It made me so happy to see you guys there!
Thank you for sharing your experiences here! I just saw your IG post, which saddened me greatly. Yet, what a community you have that have rallied around with support. That’s testament to what you stand for and what you aim to achieve. Thank you!
Thank you all for being so amazing. We look forward to hosting you here in the Midwest someday!
They went to Chicago several years ago, but I’d love to see them up in the UP or somewhere more rural.
@@lulubelle65 Cleveland is my hope! We got some great pizza up here
My family has been in Savannah since more or less the founding of the city, my great grandfather owned and ran the wholesale produce market downtown for 50 years…my great uncle was one of the chief detectives on the Jim Williams Saga…point is I’m as Savannahian as they come. Y’all did the city proud. Seriously, y’all made the city look good and took it seriously. Savannah always kind of has been the eclectic and unknown sister to Charleston. Thanks for highlighting my home. Love y’all forever for that.
I am a longtime fan of you guys and seeing you go out with Jay and Marie was just incredible. My favorite things- sorted, food, travel and DRAG! Thank you, boys! ❤❤❤
Without a doubt this is probably my favorite video y'all have ever made! Loved the energy, the creativity, taking a big risk outside your normal world! The food looked great, but the smiles on all of the faces was a winner!
I have lived in the UK for nearly 8 years now, American-born in New Jersey, late teens in Florida, and a few years in my early 20s i lived in South Carolina. My mother and grandmother was born and raised in Alabama, with a history from there. I've been cooking since i was in my early teens, learning from my Grandmothers (my paternal grandmother was born in the US, raised in NYC, but both parents and all older siblings were born in the UK) their recipes and techniques, as well as professionally when i was older......and will soon be opening a historic pub in Wales. I'm excited to cook and share what i have learned both food-wise, and hospitality-wise with the locals. I love what you guys did there, and glad to see you try the things i'm used to, since for the past 8 years i have been learning the British way, and the food offered here, and know how eye-opening it can be. Looking forward to sharing my food, and who knows, maybe one of you will try it too someday!
How amazing! What’s your pub called Jennifer?
Wonderful story! Where in Wales is your pub?
@@SortedFood Its called the Lletty Hotel in Mostyn, just south of Prestatyn, on the Dee Estuary. Lots of restoration going on, and hopefully we can be open this summer. 300 years old, haunted and has lots of cool history including a secret smugglers tunnel!
@@Shelsight its the Lletty Hotel in Mostyn, North Wales. North of Flint and south of Prestatyn on the Coast Road.
WOW!! Cannot express how very, very much I enjoyed the 2nd part of your southern experience and all the great people you met!! Savannah is such a great city, the people so lovely and welcoming and meeting the awesome bee guy!! (he could have a show of his own!) Your interactions and conversations with the beautiful drag queens and the care you took with dinner were absolutely fabulous!! You guys are totally awesome!
I really hope the Sorted Team reads this comment. Quick story: when I was back in high school ( late 90's) my dad would regularly chat in British chat rooms. For context, we live in North Carolina. He made friends with a couple and would even chat on the phone with them a couple of times. The subject of Southern style biscuits came up. We sent her my mother's recipe. She talked about how she could add vanilla or sugar to it and we told her "no, the sweet stuff is added after it's baked". Well, she made some for her husband and they loved them. She told my dad that her husband has her cook them on a regular basis. He was hooked. Biscuit recipes can vary slightly depending on the home. I think you guys did a great job!
You guys really delivered again! (On the dinner, and on the channel😁)
I've know for years and years that Sorted is hands down the best food channel on the platform, and each time one of these food travel/city showcase vid's pop up I'm reminded just how right I am!
Thanks for all you guys do, thanks to the team, and to the rest of the wonderful community who stick with you and give mountains of support. I would love to say it's crazy how far the channel's come, but it's 100% deserved! (and definitely not new, I still remember the lost & hungry tour years back!)
Cheers for all the wonderful times yinz have had, and for the love of food & cooking!🍻
Love you guys! I was born in the South West and lived in Britain for 4 1/2 years, and it makes my heart happy to see real and meaningful exchanges between some of the best people Britain and the US have to offer. Keep doing what you and your amazing team are doing!
It’s always wonderful to see you guys embrace a new place and their food culture. You really did the South proud with your British take on the dishes you chose. I’m impressed (but not really surprised) that Ben made proper southern biscuits.. well done!! I worked at a southern restaurant and made probably thousands of biscuits; yours looked amazing! Everything looked delicious. 😊🎉🥳
i absolutly love that you got shown around by queens! this is so much fun and fantastic
This has been my absolute FAVORITE series. I love our south, love our people, love love love our food. Thanks for a wonderfully entertaining series. BTW I had to watch all these episodes with tissue by my side as I kept drooling. 🤤
Yay for food, yay for drag, yay for having fun! What a beautiful side of Georgia we see in this video.
It was really great that you included the segment with the drag queens considering the current political climate in the US for queer people, i was very happy to see you unashamedly support and platform them ❤️
Of course - this channel and community is built purely on friendship and a love of food... Everyone's welcome!!
@@SortedFood Really appreciate you guys, your whole team, and the message y'all just posted on your Facebook page. Bigotry and hate has no place here, or anywhere else. Thank you all for continuing to be a welcoming and inclusive and accepting community.
as someone from Georgia who's been watching yall for YEARS, im so glad you finally made it here! this was such a fun and heartwarming series, glad you guys had a great time
Just wanted to make sure everybody knows that your channel is in this video and in these comments advocating for inclusive culture.
I've never donated to a channel directly before, as I'm no rich person, but it's really sweet to see you guys being awesome and telling the bigots to jog on.
Nobody needs people who think the way some of the awful bigots in the comments have behaved, and you haven't been afraid to tell them so.
Love you guys, and love you too, community.
Y'all did such honor to GA and SC across these four videos. I grew up on the border of the two, and this absolutely feels like my home.
So often tourism shows or even food shows just put out the very obvious highlights that perhaps are not wrong but also not quite right. You found the magic and the people that a native can recognize.
Don’t usually comment but I loved these episodes!! The food looked amazing and you seem to meet really genuine people along the way. Please do more!
This whole episode and series was so wholesome! I loved it. You boys did amazing, and the people you interacted with were absolute gems!
As a queer person with bad experiences with men (in relation to their “approval” of my sexuality) it’s nice to see my favorite group of brits are accepting dudes.
This is one of the reasons I love working with food; the way different folks can come together over food is incredible. One of the reasons I love you Sorted Boys; your genuine fascination and respect for other cultures' food and traditions just shines through. Well done, guys! Much love from SoCal! 🤍
Ben doing a death drop is exactly the content I needed right now!
These videos honestly make me so happy, all the time! You all put so much work into it. And it shows, thank you!
I’m not allowed to watch your videos without my fiancé (we treat it similar to watching the next episode of a show without the other!) but I’m SO tempted on this episode! This has been one of my favourite mini series you guys have done so far! Huge props to everyone involved.
My boyfriend and I do the same!!
My boyfriend and I always watch SortedFood together as well 🥰
As a born and raised southerner I’m not sure much brings more joy than seeing you boys be blown away by a simple biscuit… also slightly offended you keep comparing it to a scone. Lol 😆
Yeah scones are so much better it's just not right. 😊
Love the way you guys just lean into the experiences - genuine pleasure and joy. Thanks for sharing such great content.
I’m not sure there are people on earth who are more fun than Drag Queens.
According to a beekeeper I once heard those suits can be pretty warm. But if you feel something you need to take some care. If it goes down your spine, that's just sweat. If it goes up your spine, that's a bee.
From a coastal South Carolina raised fan, I just want to thank you so much for highlighting what I believe is a vastly uderappreciated cuisine and culture!
Such an awesome episode, hoping to see you soon in germany!
Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, we’re glad you enjoyed the episode :)
I love that fact you guys go fully into the culture and the people of the area and use that to influence the food you cook at the end
Lol I like that answer. "It depends on the day that you've had."
This video made my heart explode. The whole sorted team did a great job with this one!
Been watching your channel for many years and I have to say…this video is phenomenal! You guys, and your team behind the scenes, absolutely crushed it. Keep doing stuff like this PLEASE!
As a Southerner, it makes my heart so happy to the boys enjoying Southern food so very much.
I went to school in Savannah's historic district for a couple of years and this was a trip down memory lane. Didn't get much opportunity to see a lot of these locations, but there was an amazing japanese restaraunt named Sakura's where I had sushi for the first time and hooked me for life.
How wonderful! They sound like great memories.
@@SortedFood So long as you didn't go out at night alone, you were fine XD
🥰 You showed you care about the people, their skills, their culture, their businesses and what they bring to the community. You aren't travelers for business or for pleasure even though those are aspects of your time in America. Chef and normals alike you are all ambassadors 🇬🇧🇺🇲.
What a delightful melding of cultures and experience, this was so great to watch. Very well done gents, can't wait for the next culture clash 🥰
This really makes my heart glad! I am so grateful that you have had an amazing experience and learned about "southern" cooking and the best American hospitality. Please come again soon.
i loved the drag segment
This has been an amazing series. I loved learning about a state I can visit and find these places to enjoy. You are all so amazing I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. You make me want to explore more, experiment more, cook more, enjoy food more than I already do. Thank you for being you.
I love these episodes. I wish you'd do something like this for a US city every month!
I went to college in Savannah and lived there for about 7 years and this makes me miss that amazing food so much. I've been to every place in this series and watching you guys enjoy it this much warms my heart
Aw, that was lovely! Your trips away are the very best thing, I look forward to whatever journeys 2023 brings
Thanks so much!
Ooh! It's always a bad move to watch your videos hungry! Everything looked fantastic and it seemed like such a lovely, welcoming place with really, really wonderful people. It's always such a joy to watch your adventures. I look forward to more.
these videos are absolutely amazing and inspirational, the amount of care, love and respect you put into the food is amazing, i honestly cannot wait for the next one x
Yay! You went to The Olde Pink House! And you even sat at the table we were at. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to…
Oh amazing! It’s such a great place huh? Incredible food 😋
@@SortedFood Our kids who live in the Savannah area had their wedding reception dinner at Pink House--great place, great history. I hope you guys got to experience the ARCHITECTURE of Savannah--it is truly unique and the character of the Squares. We're there often, but y'all come on up to Chattanooga sometime soon and we'll be glad to chaperone (smile) and I've an "in" up the road at Jack Daniels where, with all due respect to Mrs. Wilkes, the Miss Mary Bobo boarding house restaurant does that wonderful family style idea proud...with a little help from Jack-infused cinnamon/sugar/butter apples! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Lol Jamie’s “YES” when the queens arrived
The trick with biscuits is they don't like to be handled. I think scones are more forgiving about that because of the texture difference. Looks like y'all did a great job!!
Love seeing the different levels of drink left in your cups. Looks like mike is living/loving it up!
That clubbing looks fun. I've never tried it before. The two guides were fun too.
I absolutely love these traveling series. They are just incredibly interesting and wholesome.
Lovin the drag queens! Their energy was so infectious ☺️
