These chef battles should be more like the original mystery box videos where you both have the same ingredients to work with, it would make it a lot more interesting for us viewers
SORTEDfood i want to say one thing the humous and othe Middle East food isn't israeli food because there's nothing named israel and it's all arab food and Palestinenian...
"Don't overwork your potatoes" and then proceeds to push it through a strainer. Mate, potato bits are the best part of a mash! Reminds you you're eating potato and not a weird puree.
I love the way that in both the Chef's battles, Ben says fancy French words, James questions Ben's choices and the others just laugh blatantly in the background! I love it!
I really like how Ben and Jamie reacted to the end result. Jamie was low-key very excited that he won and while Ben hoped to win as well - he graciously cheered for Jamie and handed off a glass of champagne to him. Nicely done!
Dude you guys are awesome I have made 238 of your recipes I know that because I have a sorted note book most I have made for my dad and me and we loved them you have helped me through some bad times so I say thank you and continue the good work
With the background music at 8:35 I was half expecting Ebbers to do an impromptu rap and drop some culinary knowledge whilst spitting some mad rhymes. Awesome to have Sortedfood back after the break! :D
See I actually thought Ben should have won; but that's probably just cause I'm not a huge fan of hummus, while I LOVE Mediterranean food. But I also thought Ben had more interesting techniques and elements that he brought to the table. Loved the video!!! Keep it up!
Fun addendeum: For mashing, if there are people who like purchasing items with singular purposes, there is a tool called a ricer, also called a potato ricer, which performs just as well as a sieve.
OOOOOH Snap! We've got a tie! I know exactly how to break it. I think they should hold a blowout match where our 2 Favorite Chefs need to create 2 different three-course meals (Appetizer, Main and a Dessert) from a selection of 15 ingredients chosen by their beloved audience! LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT BOYS!
"I've dumbed down my dish this time to give the poor guy a chance." The birds fly out of the trees, shocked by the sound of the shot that just echoed across the forest.
The song at the beginning sounds like the trailer music for Lazer Team! Cheeky Edit: Since both Rooster Teeth and SORTEDfood use AudioNetwork, I can confirm that the song is "William Davies - Do What I Do". Check it out, it's got some nice lyrics too!
Love these chef battles because they're so creative and sophisticated! Also it's nice to see ingredients used in more than 1 way in the recipe to ensure good flavour and less waste
So I started watching these videos years ago and seeing you guys really inspired me! Because of that I've been working as a chef for a few years now. I'm currently working on the pastry at Michelin restaurant in Birmingham :)
Great way to kickoff season 2 of Fridge Cam! Really loving the Chef Battles. As always my vote is for Ben. But James' crisps do look great! #TeamEbbers
How to level up a mash: you infuse flavor to the milk and butter before adding to the potatoes. Heat up milk with a clove of garlic and some rosemary and then follow the steps in the video and tadaa! Smooth, creamy and flavorful.
James gets my vote this time, mainly because I would be more likely to eat the humous and flatbread, than the lobster and various foams...I want fooooood!!!!
Does anyone else think of "Fish are friends, not food." from 'Finding Nemo' when they say "We're not chefs, we're normal" during the 'Level up' segment or is it just me?
I still think they need to use mystery ingredients. That way we can see what they can come up with on the spot. With them using completely different ingredients and concepts, it makes it hard to choose. That being said, I'd be more inclined to order Ben's dish.
I thought Mike's little tag line at the start said 'CAN'T eat nine Bourbon biscuits in sixty seconds' and felt like there could have been an amusing anecdote that needed addressing
Well Done to James. He finally won a battle in Sorted Food history. I personally liked ben's dish better than James' dish apart from the fougasse out of a packet moment. I would really love the third part to this ultimate chef's battle to be on desserts, the next person who wins will be named the ultimate chef of Sorted Food. Great battle guys, I can't wait for more exciting episodes this season of fridge cam. Fantastic episode to begin season 2.
#TeamCurrie hell yes! Points are awarded for how much I want to eat something, not for fancy techniques or how posh something looks. James had the perfect escapist flavors and a great new twist, and a dish you could share with the friends that you wanted to escape with. Although, you would have to convince me to be willing to share it, first! He should have won the last battle, too, and definitely deserved to win this one. Sorry, Ben, but lobster bisque is an old restaurant staple here in the States, and one usually ordered by old ladies, at that. Nothing very escapist about it. You should have escaped France for this one.
First to Ben's point in the AfterTaste video where he said no one is gonna sit around and eat a bowl of mash on its own: I do that.😂😍 And now to the perfect mash (although I use instant one - we've got a VERY good one where I live, it's actually better than fresh...): Don't use butter and milk, but olive oil and water. Then add salt, plenty of black pepper, some nutmeg and a good amount of finely chopped fresh thyme. It is honestly the best mash ever! I make it like that ever time and - as I already said - just eat it on its own sometimes, because it's THAT good!😍🤤
been waiting for video since i woke up this morning, constantly checking my subscription. it's 11pm now here in indonesia and when the notification popped up, i immediately closed my book. and i have final exam tomorrow morning. that's how much control you guys have over my life.
James plating is gorgeous. For the mash, instead of a sieve I like to just use a stick blender. it's a little less work and I've found it makes it super fluffy and uniform!
Ooooh your videos are slicker than ever! Loved this one, had me in giggles at the right places and loved the food as well. Whose idea are the fabulous punny taglines in the sexies? You Sir, are a champion. So, I'm a rabid #TeamCurrie fan but Ben's dish looked nice in this one... at the same time I want James to have that 1:1 tie...decisions decisions! Btw a part of my heart will always be thinking of Mike, hi Mike!
Mashed Potato idea - Add boursin cheese, it's an almost spreadable cheese, normally comes flavored, my last was garlic and rosemary, make your mash, throw the whole thing in, it's a smallish lump, it's amazing!
Sorted, I'd just like to say that I think you guys are the most likeable cooking channel on TH-cam. I like your older videos, but the new ones are just improving continuously. I'd like to see some more Big Night In, please make it happen ! Love from Belgium
Hey Sorted! The dishes were so different it is hard to choose a winner really. Also, I thought you told us to ask questions on twitter so you can ask the chefs in the next video. No questions were answered or should we expect another video with James and Ben this upcoming week? ...confused...
James: "One place I've always wanted to go to is the Middle East, so I joined the Royal Marines." Ben: "Wait! What?!" *Smash cut to James lifting weights, receiving his commission as an officer, traveling throughout the Middle East, leading his men in a firefight, carring out a wounded man on back (explosion in the background), and being knighted by the Queen.* James steps back onto Sorted set: "So I've decided to make lamb with humus."
I loved your dish, James. Especially with the use of all those middleeastern ingredients. I never thought I'd see you guys using sumak or tahini on a dish!
"Doesn't matter how many bubbles you've got when your fish is overcooking" James, you absolute savage! #TeamCurrie just because of that sass.
So much sass!
"I won a battle."
Awww James is such a sweetheart.
He's just so cute. I want to hug him lol
So do I :-)
He is a cutie!!
"I've dumbed down my recipe" *makes lobster bisque and a prawn mouse*
Mousse*
mouse mousse ? could catch on.
Mike's puns for the sexy shots 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bisque please. I a,most spat out my tea!
PetitChouPumpkin "this Israeli good?" Slayed me
I thought "Bisque Please" was clever, then I saw "This Israeli Good" and just about died from laughing so hard. Good job you guys.
These chef battles should be more like the original mystery box videos where you both have the same ingredients to work with, it would make it a lot more interesting for us viewers
That's a cool idea, thanks Jordan!
SORTEDfood i want to say one thing the humous and othe Middle East food isn't israeli food because there's nothing named israel and it's all arab food and Palestinenian...
Jordan Hill Omfg dude I was literally just abouta type that like I swear
Jordan Hill I agree it would be better
Jordan Hill I totally agree!!!!!
Ben is so sweet, he looked like he was genuinely happy when James won! Ben is so adorable
I appreciate his sportsmanship. He always tries to bring people up and it's so endearing!
"Don't overwork your potatoes" and then proceeds to push it through a strainer. Mate, potato bits are the best part of a mash! Reminds you you're eating potato and not a weird puree.
I love the way that in both the Chef's battles, Ben says fancy French words, James questions Ben's choices and the others just laugh blatantly in the background!
I love it!
It was so adorable when James didn't want to believe he won then he was so excited when he realized it haha.
I really like how Ben and Jamie reacted to the end result. Jamie was low-key very excited that he won and while Ben hoped to win as well - he graciously cheered for Jamie and handed off a glass of champagne to him. Nicely done!
"So it keeps its form" *mash flattens out all over plate*
Dude you guys are awesome I have made 238 of your recipes I know that because I have a sorted note book most I have made for my dad and me and we loved them you have helped me through some bad times so I say thank you and continue the good work
Wow Ewan, that's amazing! Keep it up!
SORTEDfood Ben! I dare u to watch da anime food wars! U and the crew love ur food porno dont you? then watch it!
Ewan Ward that is cool!
I love how Mike is always on Team Ebbers!
Van Nguyen I SHIP IT!
Loyalty. :)
I think I see a pattern. Don't be fancy when cooking for Mike, Barry and Jamie
Make something meaty that pairs well with alcohol...also serve the alcohol.
As an Irishman I fully approve of that mash! You creamy beaut! 😂
+Donal Skehan haha cheers Donal! 😂
Donal Skehan that.... That was subjective
Donal Skehan iii
When are you gonna be on the chefs battle? hahaha James definitelly had this one #teamjames
What does being Irish have to do with it?
is jamies shirt just a white shirt with black tape on it???? :-)
Yes. Yes it is.
yes it is.
SORTEDfood haha I love it !!!
Trazy Lata Reminds me of my team's shirt (Newcastle United).
Ahh so good to see chefs are the same no matter where you go. Giving each other shit while managing to remain polite xD
OMG.... yes!!!!! I love chef vs chef. Best concept ever.
With the background music at 8:35 I was half expecting Ebbers to do an impromptu rap and drop some culinary knowledge whilst spitting some mad rhymes.
Awesome to have Sortedfood back after the break! :D

Poor Ben now he has to go home and tell Tyrone he lost
000
0sturmkind0 new here, who is tyrone
Angel S. It’s a joke from their Ice Gems video - basically Tyrone is Ben’s (not real) child
@@addisongralen8351 wtf man, Tyrone is REAL
i need a ultimate chef dessert battle
Angel Tan Or a Gormet Chef meal battle!
I have binged so many of your videos in the last week and I’m OBSESSED with them all. Keep it up!!
"I won a battle. I won a battle!" so adorable, James!

"I've dumbed down my dish this time to give the poor guy a chance."
The birds fly out of the trees, shocked by the sound of the shot that just echoed across the forest.
IM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! I have been waiting!!! I also would die to try James's recipe, looks delicious😍
The editing/production for Sorted is so top notch now! I'm impressed! Well done boys 👌
It should have been Ben 'red shorts' Ebbrell
Haha so true!
More of these pleaaaseee! You make cooking so enjoyable! :)
Both recipes sound amazing. I really want to make both of them.
+Katya Allnutt tweet us a picture if you do, we'd love to see!
Gosh, I missed it! Great you're back, love your videos!
The song at the beginning sounds like the trailer music for Lazer Team!
Cheeky Edit: Since both Rooster Teeth and SORTEDfood use AudioNetwork, I can confirm that the song is "William Davies - Do What I Do". Check it out, it's got some nice lyrics too!
I had to replay it over cuz I recognised it, and I realised Mikey Bolts used to use that music in his outros :)
Nushi1098 "I just do what I do"
At around 9:25 reminds me of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady"
it is
I was gonna say the same thing. xD I'm just like "I see what you done there, lads."
Love these chef battles because they're so creative and sophisticated! Also it's nice to see ingredients used in more than 1 way in the recipe to ensure good flavour and less waste
Where do i sign up to be james' beard tamer
So I started watching these videos years ago and seeing you guys really inspired me! Because of that I've been working as a chef for a few years now. I'm currently working on the pastry at Michelin restaurant in Birmingham :)
Great way to kickoff season 2 of Fridge Cam! Really loving the Chef Battles. As always my vote is for Ben. But James' crisps do look great! #TeamEbbers
Huyen Ta Just pressed your hashtag and it took me to something called, 'NBA 2K13...'! Don't know what that's all about, lol!
Louise Barrowman I don't know either why it goes to an NBA video. It doesn't when I use the hashtag on Twitter but who knows on TH-cam.
Huyen Ta Maybe YT hasn't enabled that yet :)🤷♀️
Yay, James! He gets my vote. His dish looked like something friends could gather around a enjoy. The flavors sounded inviting.
I love how Mike has remained loyal to the Ebbers Squad :D ya'll should do a dessert round!
I so love you guys! Not only do I learn new recipes, I laugh a lot too! 😆
is it me or do we still need more james?
There is no such a thing as too much James.
3 years on and we still always need more James!
More James is always best
There’s always need for more James. Even if this was the James show I still think it would be missing enough James.
_always_
How to level up a mash: you infuse flavor to the milk and butter before adding to the potatoes.
Heat up milk with a clove of garlic and some rosemary and then follow the steps in the video and tadaa! Smooth, creamy and flavorful.
They're both so good, but I'm going to have to go with Ben's dish! Sorry James... #ForeverEbbers
Ali Dexy was looking for this comment 👍
Saiyami Mehta Thanks! I actually don't get why everyone picks on Ben! Super Geeks aren't bad at all!
#ForEbbers
Top tip! Use a ricer to make your mash super smooth! A lot easier than putting it through a sieve!! 😊
James gets my vote this time, mainly because I would be more likely to eat the humous and flatbread, than the lobster and various foams...I want fooooood!!!!
I love it! Jamie says he's happy to be here as Barry conspicuously checks his watch!-
Does anyone else think of "Fish are friends, not food." from 'Finding Nemo' when they say "We're not chefs, we're normal" during the 'Level up' segment or is it just me?
Well, now we do! 😂
oooh love the mash ideas! cheers lads
There should be chef vs chef battle with three courses
That would be epic!
Lee Bowers sounds like Chopped, a three course meal with ingredients that were suggested by fans
Am definitely going to try making mash out of baked potatoes. I normally add butter and some creme fraiche rather than milk
I still think they need to use mystery ingredients. That way we can see what they can come up with on the spot. With them using completely different ingredients and concepts, it makes it hard to choose. That being said, I'd be more inclined to order Ben's dish.
I thought Mike's little tag line at the start said 'CAN'T eat nine Bourbon biscuits in sixty seconds' and felt like there could have been an amusing anecdote that needed addressing
I'm so early! welcome back fridge cam!
It's good to be back!
Yay! Fridgecam is back! Looks stocked and loaded! Welcome back!
Yeah! Glad regular non-VR is back!
I know right? I was hesitating to open them in case they didn't work for me or something!
Mike “we’d never moan about anything”, Jamie “we’re happy to be here”, Barry ‘looks at his watch as if he can’t wait for home time’ 😂😂😂
Thank god VR has gone
+
ItzBazza it was a heartbreak not to be able to watch all those episodes :'(
It's a great experience for maybe 5% of viewers, but I'm not one of those 5%.
I agree!
ItzBazza yes
The fist bump and the the spin at 1:13 was really smooth looking😂
Finally no more vr,Thank you God
This is truly the best cooking show on TH-cam, if not the best in general
Did I miss the 5 things to add to the mash in level up?
You can check out those tips in the AfterTaste here: sortedfood.com/fridgecam/5-easy-ways-to-pimp-your-mash
Well Done to James. He finally won a battle in Sorted Food history. I personally liked ben's dish better than James' dish apart from the fougasse out of a packet moment.

Cheers Alex! We are super keen for more Chef vs. Chef, they are so much fun to make 👍

*Ben disses James for his expensive dish in chef vs chef round 1*
*Ben proceeds to use lobster and Champagne in round 2*
Ooooh Eber what's the difference between you fish soup and your fish pie. Oh, I know a crust lol
question: is Ben single? (asking for a friend)
If he is, you guys should make him a tinder account and control it for him.
been waiting for video since i woke up this morning, constantly checking my subscription. it's 11pm now here in indonesia and when the notification popped up, i immediately closed my book. and i have final exam tomorrow morning. that's how much control you guys have over my life.
Does Jamie have electrical tape on his shirt..?
Yup... 🙄
Filbie just about to comment that
I've been waiting for this! Best part of my weekend!
James! that hummus looks amazing!
1 minute after upload!!!!! So excited!!!
Yes I love this series!
YAY! We love that you love it!
Oh man I'm all over that hummus & lamb. Every element just looked so good!
it's kinda unfair for hummus against lobster and wine
Was just binge watching you fellas. Much Love To You All XXXX
i love the recipes, especially ben's. one question though, how do i vote? i can't seem to find the link anywhere.
Click on the little 'i' in the top right of the video, the poll is at the end of the list 👌
SORTEDfood I never knew that! Good to know!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE COTW JINGLE (slightly) BACK!!!
James' dish looks delicious. I love the crisps
so glad fridge cam is back! missed it so much!
Did Jamie get a side job at Footlocker?
James plating is gorgeous.
For the mash, instead of a sieve I like to just use a stick blender. it's a little less work and I've found it makes it super fluffy and uniform!
I see you Ben taking them tricks from chefsteps 👀
I love the ultimate chef's battles! Keep em coming boys!
Seems like Mike's and Jamie's shirts got switched up 😂
love the chef battles
Pretty sure they just mucked about with tape on Jamie's shirt 😂
funny comment at the end w/the shirt size. LOL You guys are the best. Loving this series.
James was deffo the right choice - that looked amaaaaazing
Ooooh your videos are slicker than ever! Loved this one, had me in giggles at the right places and loved the food as well. Whose idea are the fabulous punny taglines in the sexies? You Sir, are a champion.
So, I'm a rabid #TeamCurrie fan but Ben's dish looked nice in this one... at the same time I want James to have that 1:1 tie...decisions decisions! Btw a part of my heart will always be thinking of Mike, hi Mike!
James was so chuffed wasn't he, you're a good sport, Ben.
Mashed Potato idea - Add boursin cheese, it's an almost spreadable cheese, normally comes flavored, my last was garlic and rosemary, make your mash, throw the whole thing in, it's a smallish lump, it's amazing!
Why did the music change to Eminem for the 2nd half of Ebbers vs. Currie?
Sorted, I'd just like to say that I think you guys are the most likeable cooking channel on TH-cam. I like your older videos, but the new ones are just improving continuously. I'd like to see some more Big Night In, please make it happen !
Love from Belgium
Cheers for the support Jakob! 👍
Hey Sorted! The dishes were so different it is hard to choose a winner really. Also, I thought you told us to ask questions on twitter so you can ask the chefs in the next video. No questions were answered or should we expect another video with James and Ben this upcoming week? ...confused...
Hey! Not to worry, the questions you guys tweeted will be answered in a video soon! 👍
SORTEDfood awesome! Look forward to it with hunger in my eyes lol
James: "One place I've always wanted to go to is the Middle East, so I joined the Royal Marines."
Ben: "Wait! What?!" *Smash cut to James lifting weights, receiving his commission as an officer, traveling throughout the Middle East, leading his men in a firefight, carring out a wounded man on back (explosion in the background), and being knighted by the Queen.* James steps back onto Sorted set: "So I've decided to make lamb with humus."
While I'm a Team Ebbers, I gotta give this one to James. He made the dish I would most want to try....
Wow, it's really kicking off now! 😱
I loved your dish, James. Especially with the use of all those middleeastern ingredients. I never thought I'd see you guys using sumak or tahini on a dish!
