I don't know what causes Mike's shaky hands, if it's nerves, essential tremor, or something else, but it's inspiring to me to see someone else who deals with the same issue that I have doing so on camera and unafraid to have it spotlighted, even if it goes unnoticed to many others. I just wanted to say thank you, Mike, for giving me peace of mind when I struggle to do many day to day activities due to my shaky hands.
I think that many peoples have similar issues (myself included). I love people like you, who dont judge people about it. Life is difficult enough, especially for people who have "strange problems". All the best to you and your family and loved ones from Switzerland.
I think I’d choose Mike as the winner because I didn’t see a Huttlestorm, there was a straightforward vision and the plating looks better. Quote of the Day: “Anything that’s not humiliating is a win.”
Yeah having the boys (especially Ben) shout their commentary so that the in studio audience can hear is really unpleasant. Obviously it's necessary right now, but I really hope they get some speakers up there so that the mics do the work and we can just listen to more personal, gentler, companionable commentary. I love the friendly vibe way more than this performative one. By the way, Thanks for the advent videos! What a Christmas present!
I agree... the shouting for the larger space is understandable, but is quite annoying. Perhaps invest in some mics and some speakers for upstairs where the audience is? I love this series!!!😊❤❤❤
Also this would be a perfect time to have the audience judge the food for us! Have the Ben/Chef Judgement, then the Studio judgement (off camera poll with tasting when possible), then the comments judge as best we can. Lets get the audience to add a layer!
I know Ben being kinder might make for a boring video but for this sad Monday, it is sincerely appreciated ❤ thank you Ben for being kinder to the boys
I love how chaotic the 5 min mayhem challenges are but this time the boys both did really well and the food looks delicious! I assume this was filmed on the same day as the previous audience videos but the balance was MUCH better where we could hear them enjoy themselves without the boys altering their behavior too much. It was a really enjoyable video and im so excited for a new upload every day 😊
I bring up my idea again: - 5 Minute Mystery Mayhem - Chef vs Normal - Normal knows all the "Mystery Ingredients", chef does not - Both still only get the ingredients every 5 minutes - Normal needs to cook in a way that doesn't necessarily hint at what's coming to the chef - Chef can either try to guess from the Normal's cooking, or just go their own way, whichever they think would work best for themselves
This is an amazing format to have the 5 ingredients be everything for a very standard dish, but they won't know until it's too late. Like the mystery box club sandwich episode
This was definitely kept between relatively safe boundaries, but things don't always have to end up in chaos, and the guys gave us two ideas that are both easy to replicate but manage as a decent midweek meal. What more can we ask for? As many others, I am grateful for the upcoming daily videos!
I've made the mistake of watching this hungry and now I'm DYING to taste these, but especially, i think, Mike's. I do love gochujang, but overall the stack's flavours and presentation just hit different.
Can you do one of these where under every cloche is just another carb? Cloche 1: Tortilla. Cloche 2: Sliced white bread. Cloche 3: Porridge oats. Cloche 4: A potato.....
Mike always does such cool ideas and granted i didn't taste it but he definitly should win more with his ideas and executions. His black swan idea on a pass it on WAY back is still something I use as inspiration when I cook beets
Look, if I may, the new set needs THIS as the default camera frame (see time stamp). This frame sold me on the new set because it shows the space has actual depth. Facing the sliding doors makes it look like someone’s basement. 1:15
I love the competition aspect, always have. Mystery ingredients are fun as well, keeps them on their toes. I feel like I didn't see much of the cooking somehow, even though they were cooking non-stop. Maybe it's because the video was done within 10 minutes with 5 ingredients every 5 minutes? It all went by really fast and I barely even know what it is they made. I think I might prefer longer form content, personally. Would love to try Mike's food though, that looked amazing
Thank Goodness!!!!.... I was really really hoping for another one of these, please make more... please please please.... Jamie, ill buy you a brisket if you make more
Defo thinking that I need to try making a fusion of these 2 recipes myself some time (minus the time restriction and surprise ingredient elements!) as they both look really good, well done lads. Also, an idea occurs to me for a new twist on your classic versus battles- mid way through, the contenders have to SWAP their partly formed dishes with another entrant.
They probably had to cut out a lot of the crazy bits because of the backlash they've received for the audience reacting to stuff like that and it seeming like they aren't as authentic as usual.
Those both looked absolutely delicious... Usually in challenges I can tell which dish I'd rather eat, but this time I honestly can't, both looked and sounded like they were exactly the kind of food I love. I guess that's partly because the mystery ingredients were ones that actually go pretty well together, but I really liked the different directions Barry & Mike went in.
I'm a bit surprised that neither went for nachos. Sure, I imagine corn tortillas are generally preferable, but flour tortillas can work as nachos, and it's such a versatile base for all sorts of nonsense.
As someone who really hasn't been into the new audience participation videos, I don't mind this one where you can vaguely hear the gallery cheering the boys on :)
Meanwhile, I had a hot dog for "dinner" at 4PM while making two small trays of cornbread, one with shredded cheese added, the other with a ranch seasoning packet added, so let's hope they're good.
When I saw the tortillas my mind automatically went nachos. Make them into chips, use the tofu to make a cilantro lime crema, corn salsa, black beans, and pancheta
As I know from experience that a good word from a stranger is still a good word, keep it together mate, you definitely can make it! A new year with new opportunities is just around the corner!
You'll get through this! Just keep going and come back every day if you need support. This community is awesome and I'll also be here every day to look for your comment. You got this! ❤
Personally, I'd have fried/baked off the tortillas in strips, then blended the tofu w/stock & some veggies (like Mike's peppers) to make a soup. Fry off the panchetta, char the corn, and toss both with the cheese & use it as a topping along w/the tortilla strips for the soup.
Ben! You're supposed to say "the" loser not "a" loser XD tough call. While I liked Baz plating with the pop of green, I still felt like the dish was very brown. Mike surprised me with his dish, I had no clue what he was making until the very end and then I was like "wow that looks something I could tear into" haha great job to both the boys, next time we need more mayhem haha
Ah really proud of you 5 or 6 guys. You've come a long way. I remember in 2019 telling you guys to check out the coconut tree restaurant...like 3 times or more. It's not a bad place Keep doing your thing. Don't ever change. Ben, Barry, Mike & Jamie. Keep the poor ol' dad jokes rolling too Merry Xmas & a great year head ✌️🎉
I loved this video so much i love the craziness of other episodes but it's also so good to see the boys being good at cooking and learning from there past and stuff. Sometimes it's really fulfilling to just see good solid dishes being made.
I am so infinitely jealous you guys get to work with your best friends like this and have so much incredible fun with cooking. None of my friends would ever have the time nor the interest. So jealous.
Whenever I see one of these videos I try to think what I'd do in the guys place. When the tortillas were revealed my first instinct was " quesadilla de rajas y elote con crema" and I've never been more excited as more mistery ingredients were shown! Everything fit perfectly! Tortilla for de quesadilla, silken tofu in place of the sour cream, corn (self-explanatory), pancetta for a bit of protein and the hard italian cheese as the flavour cheese of the quesadillas. I'm going to try and make this
You see tofu and say cream sauce, i see that and hear my ancestors crying. It's like watching someone take creme brulee, blending it, and using it in a sweet topping sauce.
The guys came up with great ideas! Myself, I thought of starting with a steamed egg (chinese way), then the silken tofu came, which is perfect to add to the mix. When the corm arrived, I immediately thought of corn espuma. Followed by pancetta, blend it to a texture of minced meat, to add on top of the steamed egg(s). Last but not least, you could also add the parmesan to the siphon, but another idea would be a "cracker" (grated, toasted in the oven). But it's always different when you're under pressure.
I still like what Mike did because it looks like it'd be tasty but you're right it's very hard to decide which one honestly speaking though I can see why you like to Barry's fresh green sauce there because he also added the cheese to the sauce so it took me a while to see that I had to rewind and see the whole thing over again.
Would love to see a collab with Jay over at smash fishing (Guernsey) He could take you out foraging and then you could bring back the catch and him to the sorted kitchen and cook it all up! I suggested this to him in a live chat and he is down for it!
Rule of thumb: If you don't know where it's going, chop an onion.
I think the industry term is “a thinking onion” 🤣
Then when the timer ends all you have is 5 choppe donions,lmao
Always been my primary kitchen rule.
@ 5 chopped thinking onions…
"The first rule of Onion Club..."
Mike and Barry looking like Mario and Luigi
I actually had exactly the same thought 😄

Whoever floated the idea of putting Ebbers in a bright yellow body suit deserves a raise.
I laughed way too hard when he popped up wearing that! 😂
I don't know what causes Mike's shaky hands, if it's nerves, essential tremor, or something else, but it's inspiring to me to see someone else who deals with the same issue that I have doing so on camera and unafraid to have it spotlighted, even if it goes unnoticed to many others. I just wanted to say thank you, Mike, for giving me peace of mind when I struggle to do many day to day activities due to my shaky hands.
I am the same way :) I hope that one day you can find that it's okay to just be you :) Yes, people will noticed. Be not ashamed!!!!!!!!
He mentioned a few years ago that his hands shake because he's anaemic; I don't know if that's still the case, as it was quite a while ago!

“What spices are in that Baz?”
I’m going to make a wild guess and say: no lavender. 😜
What a throw back
Thank you guys so much for doing this advent video format again this year!
I agree - but are we going to be subjected to Ben's pokies every night???🤔
I think I’d choose Mike as the winner because I didn’t see a Huttlestorm, there was a straightforward vision and the plating looks better.
Quote of the Day: “Anything that’s not humiliating is a win.”
The Advent calendar we now ask for. Bless you boys

BOTH dishes looked amazing and all things considered the normals were really great at handling the surprise ingredients
This is my favorite format! I’d love to see you do all 3 in an old school head to head to head battle using this challenge.

@@KYLadd Or the last two.
I like it but they get the ingredient 1 min before the chief and don't know it. so they get it every 4 min and the chef 5.
This is an amazing format to have the 5 ingredients be everything for a very standard dish, but they won't know until it's too late. Like the mystery box club sandwich episode
The message at the beginning of the video is absolute GOLD. 😂

Gods bless the sorted crew for giving us another advent calendar
SORTED Advent Calendar is the BEST advent calendar. Thank you, SORTED Team, for everything you folks do, every day. Best holiday wishes to you all!
9:42 "That's handy!" 💀
Ebbers putting some SERIOUS char on Mike with a roast only best mates would have the audacity to, even when prompted 👌 classic.
I've made the mistake of watching this hungry and now I'm DYING to taste these, but especially, i think, Mike's. I do love gochujang, but overall the stack's flavours and presentation just hit different.

That blue plate for mike really POPS and shows off the stack whether that is desirable or not.
11:03 Ebbers on that costume always makes my day! 😂😂😂😂
Amazing video but this was the highlight
I want them to dress up and do a episode with the costume on.
Mike always does such cool ideas and granted i didn't taste it but he definitly should win more with his ideas and executions. His black swan idea on a pass it on WAY back is still something I use as inspiration when I cook beets
I like this because both dishes are something that a normal could/might actually make at home!
When there is mayhem in the title, you know there is going to be total mayhem in the video… and I am all here for it!
Everything goes well = boring video 😂😂😂
I love their enthusiasm for chaos 😂😂😂
Great idea. I liked Mike's option. When I saw the tortillas I would have done what Mike did and start with fresh veg and prep something like a fajita.
Look, if I may, the new set needs THIS as the default camera frame (see time stamp). This frame sold me on the new set because it shows the space has actual depth. Facing the sliding doors makes it look like someone’s basement. 1:15

This was remarkably calm for a 5 minute mayhem video
They probably had to cut out a lot of the crazy bits because of the backlash they've received for the audience reacting to stuff like that and it seeming like they aren't as authentic as usual.
Pretty sure that's because the normals are doing it this time, so they can't go too hard on them or the video will just end up with 2 plates of slop.
@@StuffMitchSaysKappathey are exactly the same and the "backlash" is a screaming minority of toddlers
cause they fake everything since the new studio and I bet they knew the ingredients beforehand.
@@StuffMitchSaysKappa backlash is so funny honestly, I didn't know sorted had such young and/or parasocial viewers
Those both looked absolutely delicious... Usually in challenges I can tell which dish I'd rather eat, but this time I honestly can't, both looked and sounded like they were exactly the kind of food I love. I guess that's partly because the mystery ingredients were ones that actually go pretty well together, but I really liked the different directions Barry & Mike went in.
We're loving Mikes new look with the hat and worker shirt. Someone tell him he looks handsome, and more mature.
That ad is hilarious! 😂 love it- and the suit! Brilliant 😂😂
I really appreciate how they've decreased the crowd noises. I don't have a problems with this level.
Mario and Luigi cooking against each other was a surprise. Also Barry at 5:45 just looks ridiculous
my first instinct was to make loaded nachos from the wraps, and every ingredient afterwards worked with that idea perfectly XD
It's fun to watch when things come off the rails, but it was also fun to watch both Nornals roll with the punches and come up with something good.
Oooh these 5 minute mayhem videos look incredibly hard yet they are so fun to watch
I'm a bit surprised that neither went for nachos. Sure, I imagine corn tortillas are generally preferable, but flour tortillas can work as nachos, and it's such a versatile base for all sorts of nonsense.
As someone who really hasn't been into the new audience participation videos, I don't mind this one where you can vaguely hear the gallery cheering the boys on :)
Ah, I see the wheel of Partigiano Reggiano has made a reappearance.
Thank you for doing the Christmas advent episode boost again. :)
Meanwhile, I had a hot dog for "dinner" at 4PM while making two small trays of cornbread, one with shredded cheese added, the other with a ranch seasoning packet added, so let's hope they're good.
So much fun! Honestly, I would happily eat either dish. I think Mike did a great job keeping the Huttlestorm in check.
I love the chaos of these episodes. It like Ed Byrne's "drunk cooking" on Mock the week! :D
Very delighted for the only advent I care about: daily Sorted videos :) And thank you for the subtitles!!!
When I saw the tortillas my mind automatically went nachos. Make them into chips, use the tofu to make a cilantro lime crema, corn salsa, black beans, and pancheta
The commercial at the end with Ben in yellow full body spandex had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
i love seeing the boys wander in the background now it lets us feel more involved with the watching process like oh oh where is he going.
As someone going through a really rough time, a video a day will genuinely improve my chances of making it through December.

5:59 not Mike sabotaging Baz's sauce with a hint of harissa LOL XD
Personally, I'd have fried/baked off the tortillas in strips, then blended the tofu w/stock & some veggies (like Mike's peppers) to make a soup. Fry off the panchetta, char the corn, and toss both with the cheese & use it as a topping along w/the tortilla strips for the soup.

“I like the concept of having a loser so much I’m willing to be it” mike is so real for that
I loved this video so much i love the craziness of other episodes but it's also so good to see the boys being good at cooking and learning from there past and stuff. Sometimes it's really fulfilling to just see good solid dishes being made.
I love this format and there's so much you can do to spice it up like having 2 ingredients and a trivia question to decide who gets what ingredient.
I am so infinitely jealous you guys get to work with your best friends like this and have so much incredible fun with cooking. None of my friends would ever have the time nor the interest. So jealous.
Barry's dish may have won on taste but on looks I would go for mike's dish. In my opinion. Love you guys. Passsss itttt onnnnnn
Roasted bell pepper and corn puree thickened with the tofu, Mexican spiced pancetta, with a simple salsa would have made an awesome taco...
I love December! We're so lucky to get a daily video and this was a cracker. Thanks Guys
"That's Handy!" - *It was in that moment that Mike knew he misspoke. *
I am so bloody excited to have the sorted advent calendar again! So much better than chocolate!
Anticipating 25 days straight of Sorted Food just kinda made my day/week/month! Thanks! Really happy you're doing that again! PS - I vote Mike's. :)
Same here. Brightened my day
Well done Barry an Mike 👏👏👏 id be crap with anything like this x ADHD makes it impossible an u just fluster 🤣🤣 x
Ebbers looks great in a super hero suit! 🤣
You guys are quite inspiring. Just use what you have and try to make something delicious! 😀
so happy we got another month of videos on the way December gives me content to rewatch for years love you guys!
i hope we get a load more of this video type, i absolutely love the mayhem and madness of this
Love the ad at the end! So amazing!

This one totally inspired me! I'm gonna see if I can recreate some of this sometime. Love the format, it makes for some _great_ off-the-dome stuff.
You see tofu and say cream sauce, i see that and hear my ancestors crying. It's like watching someone take creme brulee, blending it, and using it in a sweet topping sauce.
Totally thought Mike was gonna make a tomato pepper soup with tortilla chips
I love these videos. It is so much fun watching how the normals think. And thinking what I would do.
Need a pass it on with kush chucking the ingredients from above. Anything not used gets blowtorch by him
I'm so making Barry's dish at home! Looks banging!
It’s literally the only time I’m happy for December, Sorted and Christmas ❤, love from NY
I like the look of Mike's way more....Barry's may have had slightly better flavour but it did look like my dog's food in broke down taco .. 😂
The guys came up with great ideas! Myself, I thought of starting with a steamed egg (chinese way), then the silken tofu came, which is perfect to add to the mix. When the corm arrived, I immediately thought of corn espuma. Followed by pancetta, blend it to a texture of minced meat, to add on top of the steamed egg(s). Last but not least, you could also add the parmesan to the siphon, but another idea would be a "cracker" (grated, toasted in the oven). But it's always different when you're under pressure.
If we want mayhem, put Jamie in this and give him no proteins.
Super Ebbers looks fantastic 😂
I still like what Mike did because it looks like it'd be tasty but you're right it's very hard to decide which one honestly speaking though I can see why you like to Barry's fresh green sauce there because he also added the cheese to the sauce so it took me a while to see that I had to rewind and see the whole thing over again.
Hahaha! That advert was awesome!
I like how barry is wearing red and made a green sauce, and mike is wearing green and made a red sauce
Mike still needs a re do of his dream menu!!! U may think we jave forgotten but we aint! X
"Anything that isn't humiliating is a win." - Poor Mike!
This is the kind of Mayhem I appreciate on a Monday.
