I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we need a food safety badge. Temperatures, hand washing, cross contamination, not touching hair and face, reusing tasting spoons, proper cleansing of surfaces etc. I think the boys would melt down each time Ebbers makes a buzzer sound when the do something wrong 😂
I'd love this to be a secret badge, though. Like, mention there's a secret badge up for grabs but they don't know what it is in the end. Maybe it could be something like not using more tools and bowls than you need, may be it's food safety. Maybe it's proper knife handling?
Oooh l love this idea. When I watch Barry (no hate) he is constantly touching his hair and his face and the ex restaurant cook in me cringes every time I see it.
Yes! I cringed when I saw them cut the still raw in the middle chicken on the cutting board. I would have stopped after that and immediately washed the knife and board before continuing to use it, or at least gotten a clean board and knife. Maybe they did and it was edited out?
Mike kissing Baz on the temple and Baz's reaction were precious and lovely. Normalize (or in Sorted's case, Normals-ize) men being affectionate with their friends. ❤
Baz: "I think that's fair." Commendable effort. I think you all have grown a lot and while not "advanced" teamwork, it has improved dramatically. Excellent job, boys.
Just throwing this out there - I would absolutely eat at Ebbers' Deli if they had an open kitchen and I could watch all of this. Better than dinner theatre.
Ive been watching these videos for years amd never had an issue, but I honestly did not understand most of what has come out of any of their mouths in this video. I felt like they were all talking super fast gibberish. it was chaotic and I didnt get what was happening.
This video more than many makes me want a "SORTEDFood Uncut" version where I can get all the unbleeped swears and some extra saucy banter that we all know is happening behind the scenes :P
Honestly, I feel the lads should be put in charge of the menu as well: just set a minimum of dishes per category and let them be smart about limiting the number of mise en place their menu would require.
Maybe not for this challenge, but I think for another challenge, that would be absolutely top. One of the things Chefs always have to be smart about, is planning. How many ingredients can be repeated through the dishes, how easy is the preparation and how do I need to cook things down the line, that I dont have to have 5 pans on at the same time.. ..and that is just what I know off -laugh- So seeing them plan the stuff that I would not be able to wrap my head around enough, but that my Dad (he is a trained Chef) could do in his sleep.. it would be cool to see our chaotic trio tackle it^^
That would be brilliant. So many things to get right. Can they get enough variety in the menu to please everyone without making it too complicated to prep and cook? Do they identify allergens in the dishes and know how to swap them out in need? Which ones are vegan and which ones can be made vegan/vegetarian on request? And with Ebbers judging we are guaranteed at least 1 table of fussy eaters will walk out because there is nothing on the menu to their liking.
I echo your sentiment. I've been faithfully watching this channel for 2 years after stumbling upon it accidentally. I'm so happy to have found this channel. I especially like pass it on challenges, but I watch absolutely everything they put out. They all feel like friends I haven't met yet.
Remember, teamwork is ganging up against management! 🤣🤣🤣 Mike being thrust into leadership role is really good because he really knows how to lead! PS. Baz said Mike is the best communicator, I mean he's good with his mouth.
Except he's not and he didn't. Part of teamwork is being honest about everyone's strengths and weaknesses. Jamie is the leader of that group; all 4 of them being in various kinds of denail about that isn't helping anyone.
But then to notice that Barry first turned to Jamie for advice and not Mike. In a way showing that subconscious Barry sees Jamie as someone to follow from.
@@sirBrouwer probably because Jaime tends to act self confident even when he doesn't know what he's doing while Mike tends to lack self confidence even when he knows exactly what he's doing!
@@mattisme That I have noticed as well. I wonder if he could project that well enough to run the kitchen and manage others to do there work. In a way I would like all three to (try) run a kitchen with a small crew² where they only expedite and manage it hands off. (like a chef running his line crew) ² with a crew they don't know really. the boys know each other to well that they should be able to predict what may happen with person x.
I think my only note is if this was a deli most of these would be to-go orders, particularly when mentioning the delivery app. I think seeing the boys handle a mix of "to-go" and "for here" because packaging everything up correctly as well is key
I would really love to see Ben and another Chef or two do this challenge. I don't expect any hangups or faffing, I'm just really interested in seeing this play out from a "seasoned" perspective and how well these things can be executed :)
Jamie: historically, there's a reason the community has the saying "he spaffed it", but man's been carrying the team for over a year Mike: will he believe in himself and carry the team like he did all through 2020, or is Huttlestorm Season? Baz: mumblemumblewhatarewedoingwhynoththisinstead
jamie is just the meat guy who eats lot of fat and makes raw meat but funny as hell they are not decent cooks but among normal's he is probably the best cook mike close as well but when he don't have to cook meat he fails like no other
@@recommended1782 Barry is obviously the best cook, and the chefs know it which is why they are a lot harsher on him especially in their ultimate battles. Jamie is next best then Mike (bless him)
I'd like to see them get a ~hidden~ test of teamwork skills, by doing a Pass It On and seeing how often they do prep work for the next person -- and losing points for how much they hide ingredients or leave problems for the others to solve later! =D Ben should probably go first and last, in that case (unless there's a James or Poppy to take one of those spots).
Can we please flip this concept on its head by having Ben do one of those imaginary diners? I'm really curious to see how a professional chef would tackle this. Also the normals could maybe learn somthing for ben's pub challenge.
Oh yes!!! This would be fun even if he and the normals had a ‘deli’ and would cook to order for the rest of the Sorted Food team, so they knew their colleagues were depending on them for lunch!
I'm just glad you let them fail. Sometimes stuff is given freely because you don't want to be mean to your friends, which is understandable, but they are big boys and I presume the agreed to be evaluated so it's best to be honest. All that said, I'd watch you guys do just about anything, been watching long enough now you almost seem like MY friends.
I want this badge reattempted with dinner. I like that there is a progression from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Even if it's not for a badge, I love when they need to work as a team.
Barry: I'm in charge of all the sauces and the soup. Also Barry: How do you make mayonaisse? What is BBQ sauce? See if the soup tastes nice, because I haven't got a clue.
Absolutely loving having Ebrell Hospitality Management Co. opening up these multiple restaurants for our 3 novice chefs ❤️ we get to see all the fun chaos, prep, banter and team work. Please do more! We can even use the same theme to test our Normals on Cocktail Drink or Mixing Skills knowledge for a Bar theme 🍸 or a Baking teamwork challenge. The list goes on 😆
I was watching the beginner teamwork video today and I remarked on how I love the teamwork rather than the sabotage, so I'm very happy to see more of that today. This is an excellent pre-final exam type challenge and I'm glad they've all improved enough where they can understand where they came up short. Really excited to see them reattempt this challenge in a few months and succeed.
I think none of them deserved the badge in question but I think Mike should be rewarded with some sort of leadership-badge for fantastic effort! Very entertaining as always!
Love this format! Do themed cooking restaurants - Jamie’s meatery, where the other three work. Mike’s Lads Brunch where they other three work it, Barry’s Bougie Bistro, etc etc. Love this video!
Barry’s Bougie Bistro sounds like a hell of a theme! I’d love to watch that. The challenge is to include 1 quirky or posh ingredient while keeping the price per menu items still competitive with market rates + prep time reasonable for dine in
Shout out to making safety the start of this ep! It's so fundamental, but often winds up being the first thing to start suffering when pressure piles on! Good job everyone, it's fun to watch you all struggle and improve!
Genuinely love this format. I fell in love with Sorted watching the lads always competing against each other, and while I don't want to see ultimate battles or anything go away, seeing them work together on challenges like this is very fun in an entirely different way.
Its funny that Mike had no knowledge or any say otherwise about being pushed into the responsibility of the group leader but ironically, he’s the only normal in the group who is capable of taking responsibility for the team and is therefore the obvious choice for the role 😂 every time he’s in one of these challenges, he takes charge of the planning phase to set the team up and then communicates with his team during the task when the other two act individually
As someone who has worked in a deli for the last 5 years and offers a similar menu with grain bowls, soups, sandwiches and more, they did great! It was a bit unfair because if you are working in a cafe you know what to make , how to make it, how it should look and how to do it in a timely manner. The communication does definitely come in with the repetition and knowing what your doing and what's going on. I think they deserve either a badge or a second chance with the same menu.
Ben is good at everything . Maybe put him to work in an Italian deli environment or vegan deli environment or fast food environment. But on a fast food, he is timed on each order.
I think Jamie earned a badge. He gave criticism well (about garlic) with additional instructions, helped with questions (the mayo), communicated clearly about prep work (about "rare" chicken), and assisted when others fell behind (adding chicken to the soup). His only error in the video was ONE panini didn't have the amount of meat you wanted (a rare mistake from Jamie) but it has nothing to do with teamwork!
Good team work. And it sounds like a mixology badge is around the corner. On a different note, a consistency badge would be a good idea. In my time in the food service, consistency was a very important aspect of the business. Might I suggest pizzas be used as a test bed? Consistent stretch size, consistent number of pepperonis, consistent amount of cheese, etc. Every customer should get the same thing when they order and each time they order it on different days it should be the same, so a multi day badge to check for how consistent they can work.
Great idea, or even a toasted sandwich bar setup as I noted the sandwiches were only toasted on one side and not heated through the thick slices of cheese. I've also, previously worked in a Cafe and one of my main roles was to prepare the sandwich bar, slice all the veggies and get everything out and ready to make a ton of toasted and non-toasted sandwiches. Consistency and cleanliness were extremely important.
BTW, I'm guessing you're American based on the pepperoni, I don't think anywhere makes that iconic pepperoni pizzas in Australia, plus I'm pretty sure that's what we call salami but I would be happy to be corrected by a fellow Australian if I'm wrong? Our pizzas are nowhere near as large as American pizzas, the huge size is a comical highlight for Aussie tourists in America, instead, we usually add a lot more toppings, the margarita being the exception, our bases tend to be thicker but it depends where you buy them, the wood fired oven pizzas tend to be thin. Oh and a pizza isn't a pizza without pineapple 😋
@@MaZEEZaM I am American and have never been to Australia. As for Pepperoni vs Salami, here there are differences. Salamis tend to be thicker cured sausages with a pink color and a different flavor profile compared to skinnier, redder pepperoni. And I do like pineapple on pizza as well. Particularly with pork products like ham or bacon. Sweet and salty works well.
I think Mike deserves some credit for taking on the leader role and constantly checking all prep was ticked off. Perhaps not advances leadership but definitely stood up to the plate in this one!
@@SortedFood sure, but teamwork is stronger with defined roles, Mike seemed to be key to making sure everyone had a role, all tasks were completed andto ensure help was there for anybody struggling. Sure he didn’t have all the answers, but that’s not a leader does, a leader is the oil in the machine that keeps the whole team on purpose and reminds them they’re not competing against each other but competing as a team to be the best collectively. He was rough around the edges, and I’m sure there were many things I didn’t see before the video was edited, but I think he deserves some recognition for his contribution.
I wonder if at the end of these badges they go into an actual kitchen to see how their skills have developed/improved over these courses... and to see how many badges get revoked from the three
I still think Barry should have his bread badge revoked for cutting through the bag when he sliced the bread. He should have to do milk bread again to regain his badge. My wounds are still healing from that cut.
OK you guys got me. After mooching free videos and using you guys for recipes and inspiration I finally got the meal packs app! Thanks for y'alls hard work, I really appreciate it!
@@zzskyninjazz1821 Jamie is a smart-arse regarding the others, which is odd because he's not all that taletnted himself. Or perhaps it's not that odd; insecure people like to go on the attack to hide their own insecurities.
@@AlanHope2013 Jamie is the better chef out of the "normals" when they are prepared. Just look at how he dominated the french cousine battle. I don't really see how he in particular is a smart ass, when the others have ben joking at how bad of a chef he is so much that the call fucking up"spaffing" and they play clown music during his turn att pass it on.
@@AlanHope2013 Jamie hardly ever hides his insecurities. He’s very open about the things he struggles with in the kitchen. And they’re all smart arses to each other. They always say it’s easy to poke fun on the sides but it’s hard when they’re actually doing it
Not finished watching this episode yet. Just wanted to say, growing up in my early 20's watching these fella's start off their YT career many years ago, how proud I am of you all for the business that you've grown. I have been a supporter of use for many years now. You have all aged just as nice as fine wine, may I add. 🍷 Would love to see use down under in Australia, Queensland, sometime in the near future hopefully. Would love for use to see a sunny/warm Summer Christmas and checkout some of the different dishes we put on our tables at Christmas lunch after a swim in the pool!🍽️💞🐨
I think I agree with Ben ngl. Advanced teamwork definitely comes with experience so maybe after one or two or twenty more tries, the boys may be able to snatch up the badge.
I love "Pass it on", they are definitely my favorite videos. Here's a suggestion for the next "Pass it on", write down a lot of handicap suggestions such as Use only one hand, Blindfold for 1 minute, Must use something BROWN, RED, YELLOW, GREEN ... all suggestions in one hat and must be pulled at the beginning.
Can you do something like this, but with the chef’s side of the production? See how Ben and the rest are working together. Or, and it’s even a better idea, Ben and a couple of non-chefs from the production team, see how good of a leader he is!
Watching this felt a lot like watching Overcooked 2 let's plays that I have seen. Just enough organization to hold the panic and chaos together to get the full 3 stars.
Interesting and fun moment to make this delicious recipe. The dish on a plat looks so appealing, appetizing, and super tasty, It's well presented. Thank you for sharing inspiring cooking tutorials, stay healthy and safe. Have a very blessed and wonderful week ahead for you and your family.💕Stay Blessed and stay connected!💕
I would say impressive half hour prep and teamwork. They should have gotten a badge - presentation is important but not as much as taste. It does make me appreciate the pressures of any restaurant kitchen. There are so many times when I kick myself for obvious slip ups when throwing a dinner party for final finishing details (nice salt, some herbs, condiment options for slow cooked meats) - time pressure is really not one's friend, although among friends at a dinner party the pressure is just in your own head. I think the boys should have a 'dinner party' episode. Yes you have done festive feasts, but dinner parties are slightly different. This is where sous vide and pressure cookers can come in handy if you try to host some people after a work day. Let the long cooking ingredients do their thing and just finish it before people arrive to allow the house to smell great and don't be stressed rushing around (that just stresses others out). A nice pre-made cocktail or chilled or breathing wine and a few simple snacks and music will smooth the way.
I'd love to see the team do a pop up food truck sort of thing. The food team comes up with the menu and trains the normals and they have to pull it off with Ebbers barking orders at them.
Must admit I came to this channel late but can’t stop watching great people personalities and obv food 🥘 me and my daughter do some of the challenges never finished one perfect yet 🙄😂
I love these badge challenges as always you guys are awesome. I personally have learned from your videos and passed it on to my kids who help in the kitchen from time to time.
This was a good one, id love to see one where the crew gets a chance to order and rate thier meal (maby alittle ebbers nibble) Its up to them/you if they can stay behind the camera ordering or need to step infront, main thing is its more real, wierd and specific orders, and one at a time, ebbers still sets the menu
This video, like the previous one, reminds me of how hard it is to run a deli/café and gives me more appreciation (and patience) for the people running it.
I really like this platform. It is like Pass It On but with a cooperative element. It would be interesting if the Normals were Head chef and they were directing different Normals.
How about a "know your tools" badge where everybody has to prepare a dish and they can select the tools to cook it. Valued is the right tool for the job, if it adds something special or is just convenience and so on...
Safety in the kitchen is essential. Taste is subjective and presentation is basic, it is a deli after all. I only agree with Ebbers over the safety issue. Question, did Baz leave an element on, on the stove causing the soup to thicken? I think the boys did a fairly decent job. 6/10
I definitely agree that it wasn’t quite badge worthy this time but still impressive work. Can’t wait to see them try it again and hopefully improve even more! Nice job boys 👍
A meal pack development badge could be interesting. Have to develop and test a weeks worth of midweek meals to use up all ingredients by the end. Could be either individual (maybe with some required ingredients to allow some comparison of the results) or a joint effort. Would also be interesting to see a video following the food team throughout their development of a pack to compare and contrast with how the normals approach it.
It would be cool if they can ‘upgrade’ their badges, sort of like ‘Gilding’ the badges to tier 2 or something ya know? Or platinum badge or badges that once gilded is safe and won’t be rescinded but the criteria of earning it is extremely strict
I think Ben's decision was appropriate. Safety in the kitchen is paramount! I think the guys did a better job this time around.. they just need to remember about safety and presentation. But much better than last time, so well done Baz, Jamie and Mike 😊❤
I’ve been thinking the same thing, but at the same time it could be that through these challenges he’s realized what he has absorbed from working with the chefs and because of that has gotten more confident in his skills.
I agree with Ben not awarding the badge. With solid communication and coordination, you can handle things like running out of things you’ve prepped with ease. Some tips for next time: don’t move things from their places, if you see something getting low then shout it out so more can be made, figure out what your pathway flow is going to be and always remember to say “Behind you” if you’re behind someone and need to get at their work area.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we need a food safety badge. Temperatures, hand washing, cross contamination, not touching hair and face, reusing tasting spoons, proper cleansing of surfaces etc. I think the boys would melt down each time Ebbers makes a buzzer sound when the do something wrong 😂
I'd love this to be a secret badge, though. Like, mention there's a secret badge up for grabs but they don't know what it is in the end. Maybe it could be something like not using more tools and bowls than you need, may be it's food safety. Maybe it's proper knife handling?
Oooh l love this idea. When I watch Barry (no hate) he is constantly touching his hair and his face and the ex restaurant cook in me cringes every time I see it.
food safety but bring back the electro shock buzzers!!!
Yes! I cringed when I saw them cut the still raw in the middle chicken on the cutting board. I would have stopped after that and immediately washed the knife and board before continuing to use it, or at least gotten a clean board and knife. Maybe they did and it was edited out?
I know that a lot of things like washing hands, and washing dishes up, are edited out, but this would be a lot of fun!

As someone who has worked in a deli for the last 5 years and offers a similar menu with grain bowls, soups, sandwiches and more, they did great! It was a bit unfair because if you are working in a cafe you know what to make , how to make it, how it should look and how to do it in a timely manner. The communication does definitely come in with the repetition and knowing what your doing and what's going on. I think they deserve either a badge or a second chance with the same menu.
The normals should challenge Ben next , a series of Ben making the hardest food to cook from around the world maybe….
I agree. I think an expert judge to judge ben's offerings too
yes i like this! food knowledge from around the world. maybe not the most complicated, but also just the regular stuff they have in other places
Or the food team sets the menu, ebbers headchef and normals support and follow ben
Ben is good at everything . Maybe put him to work in an Italian deli environment or vegan deli environment or fast food environment. But on a fast food, he is timed on each order.
I think Jamie earned a badge. He gave criticism well (about garlic) with additional instructions, helped with questions (the mayo), communicated clearly about prep work (about "rare" chicken), and assisted when others fell behind (adding chicken to the soup). His only error in the video was ONE panini didn't have the amount of meat you wanted (a rare mistake from Jamie) but it has nothing to do with teamwork!
glad the chef skills are back for 2022.. hopefully sticks around for a while, its amazingly fun
Good team work. And it sounds like a mixology badge is around the corner.
On a different note, a consistency badge would be a good idea. In my time in the food service, consistency was a very important aspect of the business. Might I suggest pizzas be used as a test bed? Consistent stretch size, consistent number of pepperonis, consistent amount of cheese, etc. Every customer should get the same thing when they order and each time they order it on different days it should be the same, so a multi day badge to check for how consistent they can work.
Great idea, or even a toasted sandwich bar setup as I noted the sandwiches were only toasted on one side and not heated through the thick slices of cheese. I've also, previously worked in a Cafe and one of my main roles was to prepare the sandwich bar, slice all the veggies and get everything out and ready to make a ton of toasted and non-toasted sandwiches. Consistency and cleanliness were extremely important.
BTW, I'm guessing you're American based on the pepperoni, I don't think anywhere makes that iconic pepperoni pizzas in Australia, plus I'm pretty sure that's what we call salami but I would be happy to be corrected by a fellow Australian if I'm wrong? Our pizzas are nowhere near as large as American pizzas, the huge size is a comical highlight for Aussie tourists in America, instead, we usually add a lot more toppings, the margarita being the exception, our bases tend to be thicker but it depends where you buy them, the wood fired oven pizzas tend to be thin. Oh and a pizza isn't a pizza without pineapple 😋
@@MaZEEZaM I am American and have never been to Australia. As for Pepperoni vs Salami, here there are differences. Salamis tend to be thicker cured sausages with a pink color and a different flavor profile compared to skinnier, redder pepperoni.
And I do like pineapple on pizza as well. Particularly with pork products like ham or bacon. Sweet and salty works well.
Great idea on consistency badge!
I could really just watch them “work in a deli” and be entertained forever
I think Mike deserves some credit for taking on the leader role and constantly checking all prep was ticked off.
Perhaps not advances leadership but definitely stood up to the plate in this one!
He did really well.... however, it was a teamwork badge that was up for grabs. No "I" in team.
@@SortedFood sure, but teamwork is stronger with defined roles, Mike seemed to be key to making sure everyone had a role, all tasks were completed andto ensure help was there for anybody struggling.
Sure he didn’t have all the answers, but that’s not a leader does, a leader is the oil in the machine that keeps the whole team on purpose and reminds them they’re not competing against each other but competing as a team to be the best collectively.
He was rough around the edges, and I’m sure there were many things I didn’t see before the video was edited, but I think he deserves some recognition for his contribution.
I wonder if at the end of these badges they go into an actual kitchen to see how their skills have developed/improved over these courses... and to see how many badges get revoked from the three
I still think Barry should have his bread badge revoked for cutting through the bag when he sliced the bread. He should have to do milk bread again to regain his badge. My wounds are still healing from that cut.
OK you guys got me. After mooching free videos and using you guys for recipes and inspiration I finally got the meal packs app! Thanks for y'alls hard work, I really appreciate it!
How is it working out?
Love how they didn't give Jamie the salad. I seem to remember him getting bored chopping things 🤔🥗
They’re all guilty of getting bored while chopping but Jamie is a big offender
@@zzskyninjazz1821 Jamie is a smart-arse regarding the others, which is odd because he's not all that taletnted himself. Or perhaps it's not that odd; insecure people like to go on the attack to hide their own insecurities.
@@AlanHope2013 Jamie is the better chef out of the "normals" when they are prepared. Just look at how he dominated the french cousine battle. I don't really see how he in particular is a smart ass, when the others have ben joking at how bad of a chef he is so much that the call fucking up"spaffing" and they play clown music during his turn att pass it on.
@@AlanHope2013 Jamie hardly ever hides his insecurities. He’s very open about the things he struggles with in the kitchen.
And they’re all smart arses to each other. They always say it’s easy to poke fun on the sides but it’s hard when they’re actually doing it
I actually think they did rather well on this challenge, the normals, or "amateur chefs" have really come along!
Safety badge! Because with 3 people hurrying around a pot of cream soup with the handle sticking straight out--I'm stressed!
Not finished watching this episode yet. Just wanted to say, growing up in my early 20's watching these fella's start off their YT career many years ago, how proud I am of you all for the business that you've grown. I have been a supporter of use for many years now.
You have all aged just as nice as fine wine, may I add. 🍷
Would love to see use down under in Australia, Queensland, sometime in the near future hopefully. Would love for use to see a sunny/warm Summer Christmas and checkout some of the different dishes we put on our tables at Christmas lunch after a swim in the pool!🍽️💞🐨
Keep up the great work guys! Would love to see some Balkan cuisine incorporated in some of the episodes. Cheers from Bulgaria 😉
I think I agree with Ben ngl. Advanced teamwork definitely comes with experience so maybe after one or two or twenty more tries, the boys may be able to snatch up the badge.
Fun Fact: “Hot Smoothie” is not only what Ben calls soup, but it’s also his Tinder handle.
Jamie and Mike definitely deserve a teamwork badge for how much they carried Barry
I love Barry so very much more for getting the "two soups" reference!!! Kudos to you, Dude! You're a class act! :)
I've been watching guys since u started. Never missed a video. From Mikes musicals to this. Absolutely love every single video.
I want the next installment! Ben’s pub!
I currently have covid and am in isolation. These videos are honestly amazing and have kept me going, love you guys! ❤❤❤
No-one asked
@@bailey6131 and no-one asked you to be such a prick
sorry to hear that! hope you get better soon:)
I wish you a quick recovery and hope that the people around you are safe as well ❤️
How are you feeling? Hope you manage to find ways to recooperate and enjoy yourself Alisha! ❤
I love "Pass it on", they are definitely my favorite videos. Here's a suggestion for the next "Pass it on", write down a lot of handicap suggestions such as Use only one hand, Blindfold for 1 minute, Must use something BROWN, RED, YELLOW, GREEN ... all suggestions in one hat and must be pulled at the beginning.
I think you did well, just very funny how serious you take it at the end when being judged. 😂
The sorted chefs should do this to demonstrate how to do this in a professional way to both us and the boys
Can you do something like this, but with the chef’s side of the production? See how Ben and the rest are working together.
Or, and it’s even a better idea, Ben and a couple of non-chefs from the production team, see how good of a leader he is!
I'm happy this series and the badges are continuing into 2022.
Ben: "Are you ready to start your challenge?"
Barry: "NO!"
If this isn't a mood and a half I don't know what is! 😂😂💖👌
Proud of how well Mike is doing taking control! Definitely good leadership skills!
Barry: soup done...just needs chicken corn seasoning cream
Mike & Jay: that's the entirety of the soup!
Watching this felt a lot like watching Overcooked 2 let's plays that I have seen. Just enough organization to hold the panic and chaos together to get the full 3 stars.
Interesting and fun moment to make this delicious recipe. The dish on a plat looks so appealing, appetizing, and super tasty, It's well presented. Thank you for sharing inspiring cooking tutorials, stay healthy and safe. Have a very blessed and wonderful week ahead for you and your family.💕Stay Blessed and stay connected!💕
I Iove that this series shows that Barry was always using Jamie as a scapegoat in previous years, especially on pass it ons.
I would say impressive half hour prep and teamwork. They should have gotten a badge - presentation is important but not as much as taste. It does make me appreciate the pressures of any restaurant kitchen. There are so many times when I kick myself for obvious slip ups when throwing a dinner party for final finishing details (nice salt, some herbs, condiment options for slow cooked meats) - time pressure is really not one's friend, although among friends at a dinner party the pressure is just in your own head. I think the boys should have a 'dinner party' episode. Yes you have done festive feasts, but dinner parties are slightly different. This is where sous vide and pressure cookers can come in handy if you try to host some people after a work day. Let the long cooking ingredients do their thing and just finish it before people arrive to allow the house to smell great and don't be stressed rushing around (that just stresses others out). A nice pre-made cocktail or chilled or breathing wine and a few simple snacks and music will smooth the way.
As a restaurant worker this was so fun to watch. I'd love to see the guys thrown into an actual service 😆
One of the rare channels that I like before I’ve even watched the video.
I'd love to see the team do a pop up food truck sort of thing. The food team comes up with the menu and trains the normals and they have to pull it off with Ebbers barking orders at them.
I think the chef(s) should do one of these! would be really interesting to see how they tackle it
Must admit I came to this channel late but can’t stop watching great people personalities and obv food 🥘 me and my daughter do some of the challenges never finished one perfect yet 🙄😂
I hope they continue this series after Ebber's Pub. It's almost like a different flavor of Pass It On
I kinda just wanna see a battle between the normals where they all create the most chaotic food fusion ever, that might actually work together!
Ahhh... hold that thought... something fun coming soon. One of the most confusing fusions ever! Ever.
Maybe not quite badge-worthy, but I think they did really well for only having 10 minutes to plan!
I love these badge challenges as always you guys are awesome. I personally have learned from your videos and passed it on to my kids who help in the kitchen from time to time.
This was a good one, id love to see one where the crew gets a chance to order and rate thier meal (maby alittle ebbers nibble)
Its up to them/you if they can stay behind the camera ordering or need to step infront, main thing is its more real, wierd and specific orders, and one at a time, ebbers still sets the menu
This video, like the previous one, reminds me of how hard it is to run a deli/café and gives me more appreciation (and patience) for the people running it.
Huge favor! I have a family of 8 stuck in the house now. 5 ravenous teenagers. Tips for huge meals, tips, and tricks would be amazing!
I really like this platform. It is like Pass It On but with a cooperative element. It would be interesting if the Normals were Head chef and they were directing different Normals.
How about a "know your tools" badge where everybody has to prepare a dish and they can select the tools to cook it. Valued is the right tool for the job, if it adds something special or is just convenience and so on...
Also, restrict the number of tools they can choose, then have them follow through and make it.
@@daalelli Yes, nice idea! hurdle no. one: "Oh you did not pick a knife"
Adding to this "know your tools," how about tool maintenance. such as knife sharpening?
Safety in the kitchen is essential. Taste is subjective and presentation is basic, it is a deli after all. I only agree with Ebbers over the safety issue. Question, did Baz leave an element on, on the stove causing the soup to thicken? I think the boys did a fairly decent job. 6/10
Looking forward to going to Ben's Pub! It better serve fish and chips. Good job, everyone, all things considered! Much love and Happy New Year!
Love the badge series, been brilliant
Thank you, and thanks for watching! :)
When Jamie said "conquer and divide" (divide and conquer) , my brain went "ah, such a British thing to say "😉
I definitely agree that it wasn’t quite badge worthy this time but still impressive work. Can’t wait to see them try it again and hopefully improve even more! Nice job boys 👍
I think Jamie deserves a mentor badge for teaching Barry how to make mayo, and then teaching Mike how to make spicy tuna salad :D
agreed, Jamie's the closest one who could work properly in a professional kitchen
Agree with outcome. Extra condiments, presized quantities segmented with wax paper would provide consistancy
A meal pack development badge could be interesting. Have to develop and test a weeks worth of midweek meals to use up all ingredients by the end. Could be either individual (maybe with some required ingredients to allow some comparison of the results) or a joint effort. Would also be interesting to see a video following the food team throughout their development of a pack to compare and contrast with how the normals approach it.
It would be cool if they can ‘upgrade’ their badges, sort of like ‘Gilding’ the badges to tier 2 or something ya know? Or platinum badge or badges that once gilded is safe and won’t be rescinded but the criteria of earning it is extremely strict
i really enjoy the videos where the boys work together, my favourite type of videos!
Here I was thinking they were doing great and then the orders started coming in. 😂
There however is teamwork, although it is some wonderful chaos.
I love love love this type of video. It's so fun and great to see how everything comes together.
I think Ben's decision was appropriate. Safety in the kitchen is paramount! I think the guys did a better job this time around.. they just need to remember about safety and presentation. But much better than last time, so well done Baz, Jamie and Mike 😊❤
I feel like Jamie is secretly in training to become a chef, He seems more confident and knows alot more compared to just a year ago 🤔
I’ve been thinking the same thing, but at the same time it could be that through these challenges he’s realized what he has absorbed from working with the chefs and because of that has gotten more confident in his skills.
I think he's definitely grown into his own and has gotten a lot more comfortable with incorporating new techniques!
i absolutely LOVE this series of ben's restaurants, i hope these teamwork challenges continue!!
I agree with Ben not awarding the badge. With solid communication and coordination, you can handle things like running out of things you’ve prepped with ease. Some tips for next time: don’t move things from their places, if you see something getting low then shout it out so more can be made, figure out what your pathway flow is going to be and always remember to say “Behind you” if you’re behind someone and need to get at their work area.
I like these teamwork episodes!
