Would be good to see a DIY comparison - along the lines of “So you’ve done the kit now source & buy the produce yourself then make it”. To answer the questions a) Did the kit teach you? b) How much money can you save (or is the kit a really good deal) c) Without the kit does your own taste as good
@@SortedFood I remember Mike mentioning years ago how he doesn't like fish and cheese, yet he is always excited to eat fish and cheese things. I wish I liked what I don't like as much as Mike.
I am really liking them working together and supporting each other as they are cooking. It reminds me of what they used to be like. I wonder what a pass it on would be like if it was done in pairs.
Ooohhh maybe have them overlap each other. 1 starts, another comes in halfway through the 1st person's cooking time, and then the 1st person leaves halfway through the 2nd person's cooking time, and the 3rd person comes in, etc. Last person does the last half of their time solo, to finish everything up and plate it. Probably wouldn't have the sheer amount of chaos we normally see, but could still be interesting and much more "cooperative" based!
@@lotusblossom101 the time could be lengthened like they could have 15 minutes each, after 10 minutes the next person joins, then 10 minutes after they joined the next and so on. It would mean you still have a little bit of time alone. And even though they only have 45 minutes all up 15 minutes of that is with 2 people
That's the main reason I end up being too lazy to cook usually. The clean up after. And where I live now, I don't have a dishwasher so it's even more work.
@@angiecurtis2775 if you ever pass through Scott or Carenco, LA check out a place called Don’s Specialty Meats. Known for their boudin, their garlic sauce is a “secret” ingredient in my gumbo and red beans and rice. I had to have it shipped during lockdown because I wasn’t going to cook some dishes without it. Their hot sauce is close in flavor to Crystals but more expensive.
How many comments are you gonna post in one video dude? LOL Like don't get me wrong, not saying you don't have fair points but JESUS. I see your name more than my Ex-wife and she's a gold digger.
Ebbers saying there's an art to leaving food at 90% and just leaving it there to be finished off in a food kit is SO TRUE 🙌🏻 makes all the difference 👌🏻
Amazing meal kits!! As someone who lives in South Texas and have cooked and eaten tons of seafood boils, that kit looked perfect. And the shrimp were sliced along the back to devein them, with the added bonus of making them easy to peel.
Yeah, thanks to Covid, my boil pot and burner have been gathering dust in the garage. I also love grilled oysters, although we cook them on TOP of a grill, not UNDER a grill as Brits do. Either way does work, though. Grill is yet one more word that means something different in the US and the UK.
Those additional items are a little odd for a crawfish boil like that. And half the fun is the pain that you go through to get the shrimp/crawfish peeled. But I like flavor base that went in.
Challenge for each of the normals and ebbers: Make a DIY kit themselves for family and friends, those family members must be able to make the recipe in the studio following the instructions given to them in the kit. No outside assistance allowed the normals/ebbers can only watch but not help. IF any of the normals are successful in the challenge they can earn a DIY Chef Badge
"Are you ready jay, it's got everything in here! Spuds, Corn, Corn, Spuds. An orange, a lemon, an orange, a lemon, an onion, some garlic, an onion, some garlic!" - Ben Had me laughing so much, I do hope ben did that on purpose. That should've made it in the video, but a cracking blooper!
Now that we have enjoyed another delicious round of food kits, how about that tour of the remodeled kitchen? Be great to see what changes you made to it.
Please tell why you are so excited about Crystal hot sauce? I really would like to understand, since it’s very mild. Maybe we’re used to spicier and hotter sauces in Mesoamérica, because, at least in my house, we prefer the Marie Sharp Habanero pepper sauce. I strongly recommend it.
@@TheCatWitch63 I've personally never had Crystal Hot Sauce, but I'd assume that it might have more to do with the flavor? Do you use hot sauce exclusively for adding spiciness, or does the flavor actually matter? To me, a really spicy hot sauce is useless if it doesn't also taste good.
@@apathetk I like hot sauce that enhances flavor instead of overcoming it. Crystal is nice, tangy and salty, but I wouldn’t exactly call it spicy. But, then again, I guess it all depends on how accustomed we are to having spicy food in our local cuisines.
@@GeneralTotoss you’re right about that, and if you read my other comments, you’ll see that I like a sauce that enhances, not overpowers, flavor. But I live in a land where fresh and dry chiles are used for many things. So, when I heard so many people gushing about Crystal hot sauce, I knew I had to try it out and found it lacking. Once again, this is my opinion, and it’s heavily influenced by our region’s cuisine.
As someone who grew up in Louisiana, the shrimp boil made my day. Something that a friend's family does for their boils is to add large mushrooms to the stock as well, the flavor just soaks right into them so nicely. I also like to eat the onions too.
As I lie in bed with one working arm. It made me think about how a recipe kit like this will be the perfect way to thank all the people that have helped through my recovery.
Could we possibly have a pass it on - Sunday roast but only the first person can grab any ingredient? I would love to see the guys make a well loved British meal and working together
I would say, the first and the final, to give the person plating some choices of garnish. Plus, last person is too late for Jaime to pull one of his famous "Oh, I've no idea what that is, so I'm forcing this in a completely different direction" disasters.
THIS video is one of the best Sorted has made, (don't get me wrong, all are great, I love you guys) but there is something about it, I kept rewinding to watch scenes again and again. It was so wholesome, the jokes, the feeling of family and friends coming together and by god that box of sea food. Cheers guy. Keep doing what you're doing, please.
You know, I'm getting the feeling that Jamie's stomach was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic. All of his food loves seem to be decidedly American. 😂
Also the spice blend that you can find all over the south is called Old Bay Seasoning ❤️ And a Florida/Georgia favorite to include is whole blue crabs.
Oh boys the Decatur box filled me with the feels. Partly because I’ve actually had one of their books at a pop-up in London earlier this year. But mainly because anything New Orleans food related instantly has my heart.
Oooooohhhh yeahhhh! Restaurant kits! Just wanted to say, I signed up to the sorted club on Friday. The best purchase I’ve ever made, thank you for the free month! My favourite bit about the club is the podcast I’ve been listening to it on the train to and from work and I start laughing or smiling and look so strange because I’ve got my headphones in and I’m sat alone 😂😂 I’m looking forward to trying out the meal packs for my meals next week too! Thanks for all your time an effort guys it’s much appreciated! 😁
That's honestly amazing to hear - thank you! We're glad the podcasts are keeping you entertained and let us know what you think of Meal Packs when you try it out :)
The name it’s called in other parts of the south is the “low country boil” and there are boil specific pots that you buy to cook it in. Also you normally serve it spread out on a table covered in a tablecloth or towel. With cornbread or buttermilk biscuits. ❤️
The shrimp boil is really something special. One of those dishes where decorum goes out the window with sleeves rolled up, butter dribbling down your face and sweetcorn in your hair. I’d take that any day over the albeit delicious wellington that requires a somewhat more sophisticated table manner (ie cutlery 😂)
Jamie: “…I made a beef Wellington at Christmas…” Me: Beef Wellington? These boys are definitely no longer Normals! Ebbers, I think you’ve taught them well.
These meal kits are pretty cool. I really like the low country boil ( what we call the shrimp boil here) . The price of seafood can be pretty expensive, so adding it all up, and the seasoning blend plus the lemons, onions, garlic, etc. the price is actually really good!
Here in the American South (Charleston), we'd never put mussels in it, but I've seen it with crab before. We call it Frogmore Stew, or Lowcountry Boil. For it to be a true Louisiana boil, it needs to have crawfish. Just a bit of American regionality.
I was raised to put in whatever the heck you wanted to and leave out whatever you wanted. No rules. Our house always has mushrooms and andouille sausage. We will buy out 3 or 4 grocery stores of mushrooms. People fight over them, they're always the first thing completely gone.
As Louisiana native who spent 6 years in South Carolina, outside of the protein, there is largely just the cayenne levels and the ratios of other seasonings that separates a Low Country Boil and a Crawfish Boil. Don't throw away those onions and garlic heads. They have soaked up so much flavor and are amazing on their own.
I‘m already looking forward to what you guys do for Christmas this year. I‘d love to see some „christmas dishes around the world“ or due to current shortage crisis in the UK. „Alternative dishes to the Christmas turkey“ Combining both ideas in a little trivia. My family postpones goose and/or duck for the first or second day of christmas, having some venison the other day and on christmas eve we usually have „Karpfen blau“ which translates to „carp blue“. It‘s a whole cooked carp which is afterwards very thoroughly deboned and served with floury potatoes and horseradish in the cooking liquid and liquid butter. However only some very specific regions in Germany (as far as I know) know carp for christmas.
Great blooper reel. Just the effortless humor and fun that make us all appreciate their friendship and keep us entertained while not so secretly wishing we knew them all in real life.
The Crawfish boil kit made me think of that southern TikTok star StaleKracker, who specialises in southern comfort food including boils You *need* to show Jamie his video on pork rinds
I used to work at a steel mill in the south. We used to make a crab boil every couple of months. Throw the ingredients into a couple of pots, then place them inside a freshly rolled coil of sheet steel. Cooks a treat. Something about a couple of tons of sheet steel rolled into a coil (at about 800 degrees F) makes an amazing oven.
A few years ago, the Today Show broadcast how their staff devours food after a cooking segment. I would have loved to have seen how the SortedFood staff feasted on the shrimp boil after the filming was complete.
"discard the garlic" ?!?! nothing I love more in a seafood boil, that getting a nice spicy, soft garlic clove to eat with a shrimp or crawfish! oh the humanity
I was excited to see the boil kit. I have made many time and love them. I don't know about prices in England but to me in the US the price seemed a little high for before the extras. You definitely needed a bigger pot. We use one labeled turkey fryer, they are done out side on a propane burner. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it, it looked fun.
You like Crystal? That's literally our "off" brand. Tabasco is the real Louisiana hot sauce. Love the way you have put your own spin on with the crab legs and mussels. Never tried it that way
For the low country boils we have at the beach, we use shrimp instead of live seafood, and will strain the ingredients, put them all back in the pot and pour the whole pot on a parchment paper lined table with bowls of melted butter, cocktail sauce, dollops of mustard and relish right on the table. It's so fun and ceremonious to get a photo of that big pour and the whole family can eat standing around the table with a nice view of the beach from the balcony. So messy and fun with zero dishes to be done aside from the pots!
It's INCREDIBLY expensive but if I had the option, I'd love to try the Beef Wellington, the concentrated stock looked incredibly rich and flavoursome. However, for the price, the kit really should come with the full recipe on how to make it as well as the kit instructions. That way people can learn to cook such an awesome meal.
Barry; "...he's [Gordon Ramsey] put his name to it so it has to be good." Myself & many others: "You've not seen GR's infamous "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" video or read the comments have you!?" 🤣 Great video, really liked the idea of the shrimp boil kit, do love some good seafood.
Sorry, Tabasco Sauce or its not a full boil and this from an actual nawliner. (wink). Honestly, you need at least two sausages Boudin and Cajon. You really dont need the kit but its convenient. Neighborhood boils start with "I gots a pot brings the food" and pretty much the neighbors brings in food to toss in the pot: you can have Kielbasa, Boudin, shimp, fish (red snapper is the go to down here), crawdaddies (cause someone will go down to the bayou and net some up) , fresh water crabs (again the bayou), chicken (every thing but the head we eat the feet down here). It's really a communal pot and a lot of fun. If you come to Nawlins, you have to hit the local community pots for authentic neighborhood created pots (each one will be different in some way, our Mexican community has tripe in their, the German community has extra extra sausages and use beer instead of water) that will blow your palate away. Boils are a culture and we dun mind if others make their own, we in fact encourage it.
One thing I think these kits can be good for, is if you’ve been to scared or intimidated to try a particular dish or recipe, these give you a certain level of safety net, which may give you the confidence to try cooking it from scratch in the future🤷♀️👍🏻
"if you can get ahold of that spice blend" look into old bay brand seasoning, my family has sworn by it for decades for seafood, no telling if its similar to the one you used but its damn good
Love that Jamie went weak kneed when he saw the bottle of Crystal’s. It’s my favorite for Cajun/Creole food and $0.50 for that size in my local grocery.
i really could not pick a favourite kit! hell, ill start my day with a family shrimp boil, and end the day with a romantic candle lit dinner beef wellington with my wife! SORTED!
Gordon's kit would make a great Tik Tok video for Gordon to react too. He would say, "It looks like a dog's dinner! Why is the crepe green?!, The meat is brown, no flakey salt, and what a soggy bottom." Jokes on him.
Probably a fair bit because you have to buy full bottles of things like the mustard and some of the other stuff for say the sauces and such, instead of just having the amount needed/made for you
I was just in New Orleans in July. Truly one of my favorite places cause the food is phenomenal and it’s all centered around their unique culture and bringing people together
5:13 Recyclable does not mean actually recycled - in most cases such packaging unfortunately is not recycled :( Luckily, material scientists are working on alternatives and hopefully all food packaging will soon be compostable or truly recycled!
I made Gordon's Beef Welly (from scratch) for xmas a couple of years back. Was quite a process, but I was so proud of the results. Even my chef friends were surprised with how well it turned out!
I think that the restaurants that figured out these kits really early on in the pandemic are the ones that are more likely to survive. The ones who got on board with take home cocktails and 90% completed family meals kept a lot of business where as the ones who refused to alter their business model died.

Would be good to see a DIY comparison - along the lines of “So you’ve done the kit now source & buy the produce yourself then make it”. To answer the questions a) Did the kit teach you? b) How much money can you save (or is the kit a really good deal) c) Without the kit does your own taste as good
That would actually be really interesting!
And, to round it off, how much is left to clean up, dishes & recycle.
Great idea
Brilliant idea!
Would love to see this as a video
"You have no other friends. So, who are you buying these for?"

We all seem to forget that Baz is a married man and probably has Haley's friends to deal with as well 🤣
I feel like himself lol. Possibly family members or Haleys friends but definitely also himself.
I realy dont want to be the one that suggests this, but looking at him onscreen, maybe his wifes boyfriends?
I could watch Ben pulling ingredients out of a box and Jamie saying "Yes!" For 2 hours straight and not get bored 😂

What if they were handcuffed to each other while doing it? Really reinforce the teamwork and need to support.
You should have a ‘pots and pans used’ counter in the corner - that’s always one of the the things I wonder about.
Agreed!!!
For the first the answer was 3 pans and pots and one baking tray
Good plan

Honestly the best part of every Sunday is forgetting that y’all post and then being happy that there’s a new video.
A few years ago, the Today Show broadcast how their staff devours food after a cooking segment. I would have loved to have seen how the SortedFood staff feasted on the shrimp boil after the filming was complete.
"discard the garlic" ?!?! nothing I love more in a seafood boil, that getting a nice spicy, soft garlic clove to eat with a shrimp or crawfish! oh the humanity
This was the happiest I've seen the four in a while.
I was excited to see the boil kit. I have made many time and love them. I don't know about prices in England but to me in the US the price seemed a little high for before the extras. You definitely needed a bigger pot. We use one labeled turkey fryer, they are done out side on a propane burner. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it, it looked fun.
You like Crystal? That's literally our "off" brand. Tabasco is the real Louisiana hot sauce. Love the way you have put your own spin on with the crab legs and mussels. Never tried it that way
The smell in that building from the seafood boil must have been heavenly.
Great way to start your 37th Birthday waking up and this is the 1st thing you open your computer too
Happy birthday!
Amazing! Happy Birthday! What's on the menu?
@@SortedFood Pizza and Beer with the roommates and then going to see the new James Bond movie.
For the low country boils we have at the beach, we use shrimp instead of live seafood, and will strain the ingredients, put them all back in the pot and pour the whole pot on a parchment paper lined table with bowls of melted butter, cocktail sauce, dollops of mustard and relish right on the table. It's so fun and ceremonious to get a photo of that big pour and the whole family can eat standing around the table with a nice view of the beach from the balcony. So messy and fun with zero dishes to be done aside from the pots!
Crystal is my favorite Louisiana style hot sauce. I get Jamie's reaction.
If you know, you know right?
Jamie's face when Ben pulled out the crab legs from the box is just too adorable
I love how Ben immediately after hearing and seeing what it is commandeers the box. (Just to be on the safe side)= Hilarious. Great Video guys
It's INCREDIBLY expensive but if I had the option, I'd love to try the Beef Wellington, the concentrated stock looked incredibly rich and flavoursome. However, for the price, the kit really should come with the full recipe on how to make it as well as the kit instructions. That way people can learn to cook such an awesome meal.
Making bubble and squeak for the first time watching this! Following your guys' recipe!
Let us know how it turns out over on Twitter?
The blooper was golden! 😂
Barry; "...he's [Gordon Ramsey] put his name to it so it has to be good."
Myself & many others: "You've not seen GR's infamous "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" video or read the comments have you!?" 🤣
Great video, really liked the idea of the shrimp boil kit, do love some good seafood.
You had to remind me of that horrible thing he called a grilled cheese sandwich, i had almost forgotten about it.
@@havtor007 Haha, sorry about that. It was so bad I don't think I could forget.
Ebber's face @8:33 hearing the words "shrimp boil" shows how excited he is about it and i can't blame him.
Seafood Boil Instructions: "Get a stock pot"
Bed: *grabs 2 normal pans*
Did all the stock pots go out with the rice cooker, Ben? :P
As a southerner the amount of joy over the low country boil is, as we would say, ✨precious✨
"Secret blend of boiling spices" I bet its just old bay with a fancy label slapped on it haha
It was entertaining watching you cook up our boil. The bread was just meant to mop up the garlic butter from the oysters by the way.
Sorry, Tabasco Sauce or its not a full boil and this from an actual nawliner. (wink). Honestly, you need at least two sausages Boudin and Cajon. You really dont need the kit but its convenient. Neighborhood boils start with "I gots a pot brings the food" and pretty much the neighbors brings in food to toss in the pot: you can have Kielbasa, Boudin, shimp, fish (red snapper is the go to down here), crawdaddies (cause someone will go down to the bayou and net some up) , fresh water crabs (again the bayou), chicken (every thing but the head we eat the feet down here). It's really a communal pot and a lot of fun. If you come to Nawlins, you have to hit the local community pots for authentic neighborhood created pots (each one will be different in some way, our Mexican community has tripe in their, the German community has extra extra sausages and use beer instead of water) that will blow your palate away. Boils are a culture and we dun mind if others make their own, we in fact encourage it.
Loved this, thanks!
Also, Boils started in the enslaved African communities and the marginalized Choctaw Nation a fact that should never be forgotten...
One thing I think these kits can be good for, is if you’ve been to scared or intimidated to try a particular dish or recipe, these give you a certain level of safety net, which may give you the confidence to try cooking it from scratch in the future🤷♀️👍🏻
I thought I would like Gordon Ramsey’s kit the most. But now all I want for dinner is that shrimp boil kit… 🦞 🦐 🦪
The shrimp boil is 🤤🤤🤤
@@SortedFood it looked amazing and I bet it tasted even better.
5:54 When Mike made the "Ghost" comment, my only thought was who'd be Demi Moore and who'd be Patrick Swayze 😂😂
😂 what's your conclusion?
"if you can get ahold of that spice blend" look into old bay brand seasoning, my family has sworn by it for decades for seafood, no telling if its similar to the one you used but its damn good
Old bay on anything is so good.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some sort of cajun version of old bay.
Spice blend is Zatarains re-branded; inexpensive at Amazon.
Love that Jamie went weak kneed when he saw the bottle of Crystal’s. It’s my favorite for Cajun/Creole food and $0.50 for that size in my local grocery.
Yes, we’ve all heard of Gordon Ramsay. I can still hear him shouting 😂
I think that the kid was lacking where it instructs you how to berate your kook.
"An unnecessary amount of extras for four people"
The food team waiting to eat the leftovers after the shoot: 👀👀👀 yes definitely only for four people
I would love to see DIY Food Kits in a vegan and environmental friendly version. If there are any out there... please test them ❤
i think that they have done them before already. with the vegan burger.
This was a great one to watch! Everyone was working together, being funny and happy! Loved it.
i really could not pick a favourite kit! hell, ill start my day with a family shrimp boil, and end the day with a romantic candle lit dinner beef wellington with my wife! SORTED!
Gordon's kit would make a great Tik Tok video for Gordon to react too. He would say, "It looks like a dog's dinner! Why is the crepe green?!, The meat is brown, no flakey salt, and what a soggy bottom." Jokes on him.
he would notice very fast that it is his own dish.
just what I needed while cleaning my apt
Mike just really aggressively asking for presents 🤣
“It’s just construction.”
And then there are 19 steps. 😱
Sounds easy, right?!?
Luckily the steps were that easy even Barry could do it!
@@SortedFood sounds like the bar was low on this one. 😉 Poor Baz.
As a person who lives in alabama I have never seen somebody so excited over crystal hot sauce 🤣
I'm curious how much all of the Beef Wellington ingredients would cost if you wanted to make it at home without the kit.
Probably a fair bit because you have to buy full bottles of things like the mustard and some of the other stuff for say the sauces and such, instead of just having the amount needed/made for you
I'm guessing around $50 here in south Florida. Most of that is the beef. So roughly half price
@@jonathantutor40 lucky. I'm in Alberta Canada, we are known for beef and the chunk of beef would probably cost $40
As someone from New Orleans seeing the shrimp boil and how excited they got makes my heart happy.
Would love to see some german food on the channel
Yes! That would be amazing!
Maybe they would come here and bust the myths about how stodgy and fatty German cuisine is.
@@jackybraun2705I would absolutely love to see that
@@jackybraun2705 that would be great! I would love it if @sortedfood travelled through Europe Game Changer / Lost & Hungry style.
I was just in New Orleans in July. Truly one of my favorite places cause the food is phenomenal and it’s all centered around their unique culture and bringing people together
5:13 Recyclable does not mean actually recycled - in most cases such packaging unfortunately is not recycled :(
Luckily, material scientists are working on alternatives and hopefully all food packaging will soon be compostable or truly recycled!
I made Gordon's Beef Welly (from scratch) for xmas a couple of years back. Was quite a process, but I was so proud of the results. Even my chef friends were surprised with how well it turned out!
Love this sort of vid 💜
Those two egg cracks at the very start always set off "the land down under" playing in my head
Love these meal kit videos, thanks for the content ♥️
I think that the restaurants that figured out these kits really early on in the pandemic are the ones that are more likely to survive. The ones who got on board with take home cocktails and 90% completed family meals kept a lot of business where as the ones who refused to alter their business model died.
