The most shocking thing out of this whole video was how well behaved you guys were during the etiquette curveball, cause I gotta say I was hoping for a myriad of foul play and sabotage but in the end I was pleasantly disappointed.
i was expecting two of them to team up against the other, but, of course, anyone who proposes the plan may also be turned against, so, as you said, MAD
I'd love to see you guys do a colab with a history focused channel of some sort, maybe Townsends or something, and do a cooking battle without using any modern technology.
Mike did not get enough credit for those Mochi icecream balls. I tried to make them a couple of days ago, mostly because they looked fancy, and after 6 hours of trying I gave up. Mochi is the worst thing I have ever tried to work with. It's the stickiest substance on earth! I swear NASA has looked into using it instead of bolts and welds on their spaceship. I had to spend 15 minutes desperate attempting to clean off my hands, and my spoons are still not clean after 3 rounds in the washing machine. But you know what it doesn't stick to? Itself! So while you're sweating and swearing to make the damn thing close on itself, the icecream has long since melted in the middle. I have never had this much problems with one of your recipes before, and I have never given up on a technique or dish. But here I'm capitulating. Well done Mike
Excludos lol, when Mike said he “dusted” with cornstarch my whole family was horrified. We use so much corn or potato starch you can’t see the counter! Tons of starch which you dust off later is the key!
Probably didn't use enough potato or cornstarch. If you ever try again, just cover everything(incl. your hands) in starch and it's pretty easy. Like seriously use so much starch that you think "this is fucking crazy, this can't be right" that's how much you need😂
I'm not sure what your point is? If someone recreates a Mechlin star dish that doesn't mean that dish is worthy of a Michelin star. Obviously, Baz did a damn good job.
Weird thing about Barry is that the more stressed out he is, the less control he has over his mouth. His enunciation just went out the window this battle and in the end-screen blooper he dribbled everywhere. CONTROL YOURSELF, BARRY!
That may have been because he sneaked a little too much sake to calm his nerves! It'd also explain his breach when he flicked Jamie's tempura leaf off the plate!
me to. i only don't understand them going to New York for a food battle about Japanese food. Go to Tokyo there you are more close to the source of the Japanese kitchen.
That's going to be hard for those guys to keep that! Imagine if one of the curveballs involved the chattiest one being silent 15 min straight and the rudest one not being sassy for 15 min LOL that would be weird actually and probably very boring! Yet funny at the same time.
A show where what Barry achieves here is unironically described as "very simple", means you have to stop calling yourselves NORMALS! Kudos to Barry I say - nowhere to hide - hands down the winner.
Wow! First time in a while that all three blew me away. REALLY well done Barry, I thought you were just asking for trouble with trying to recreate such skill but you did amazingly! IMO though... Mike definitely won this one. The flavor pairing with the saké was so on point, the sakura blossom was my favorite touch. All in all though like the boys said, everyone did incredible! ♥️ Can't wait to see more
Or, you have to ask someone else taste your dish before seasoning it, and season according to their feedback. So even if the taster does lie, you can still be somewhat reasonable with the seasoning. Maybe.
Curveball idea: Swap a key or centered ingredient out with a cheaper alternative: I.e. instant coffee for espresso beans, haddock/pollock for lobster/crab, imitation vanilla extract for vanilla bean. etc etc.
I have an idea for a battle if you guys want one: The Work Place Battle. Using only simple appliances that one might find in a work place break room, make the best meal you can but also in as short a period of time as you can to try and simulate the limited amount of time a worker will have to prepare/eat their lunch as well as simulating the limited tools they have. I imagine this would be very helpful to a lot of people who struggle to cook anything decent at work
Mah-chi, mah-chi, mah-chi....I did so many quadruple takes because, I had never heard it pronounced that way...and as an American I am also very sure I have never heard it the proper way yet still.
Guys, this episode’s curveball was just so much fun to watch 😂 Also, I wish I could try all of those dishes 😍 Especially Barry’s sashimi looked insane. Can’t wait for the chef vs chef battle because James gets so sassy when he’s competing with Ebbers and Sassy James is my favourite James 😍😂
I think Jamie deserve the win this battle. He was very clever in his fusion dish. Every element has Japanese flavour in it that made sense. His plating looks great too. You guys do #ad so well it doesn’t even feel like an ad.
okay, I've never been this conflicted about the winner. Those tempura looks amazing (it's just a little cringy when he pronounced it), mochi ice cream is my favourite Japanese dessert, and sashimi is my all-time favourite. a job well done, guys! that was amazing, and now i can't wait for the chef vs chef japanese battle! :3
sashimi was the best, no doubt, the knife skill really showed. Also the flavors are way more complex than the other two. For the visual aspect the match is between the tempura and the sashimi, but judging by the theme, the sashimi looks a bit more Japanese.
Jamie's plating was amazing this battle, with what looked like a great execution of pairing oil finger foods with alcohol which always go great together.
Brilliant video guys! Barry, you were very brave with what you did and it's such a shame there had to be a third place because they all looked fantastic. Can't wait to see the next installment!
By quality of food and how everyone pulled it out of the bag this may be the best one so far all three looked incredible and they were all really successful too!! Well done lads
Next curveball suggestion: There's a random condiments/ingredients and they'll pick it whilst blindfolded. Or the fast answer game They'd answer right away the first ingredient they could think off from a random letter you say
I think this is one of my favorite episodes from you guys yet. I loved how everyone challenged themselves, everyone was actually so polite about the curveball (i.e. no one used it to terribly mess with the others) and everyone has made an amazing dish (from what it looks like on the screen)
I love watching what the fellas get silly in the background behind backs. I started watching Sorted a week or so ago after my 15 hour ER shifts and you guys have been making these sad, tired shift ends turn right around! Thankyou for even existing right now and all the smiles you've given me!
I did a little happy dance once I realized it was Sunday heheh. Also I loved how they were forced to work together when they usually sabotage each other lol
You guys should do a chopped style video. With the three rounds, and the mystery baskets. But have Barry, Jamie and Mike do the appetizer and dinner round, and who ever makes it to dessert has to cook against either James or Ben.
'I'm taking on a two michelin star chef'
'I'm starting by making watermelon squares'
That's plenty.
The most shocking thing out of this whole video was how well behaved you guys were during the etiquette curveball, cause I gotta say I was hoping for a myriad of foul play and sabotage but in the end I was pleasantly disappointed.
MAD Mutually Assured Destruction. Saves lives, and dishes.
i was expecting two of them to team up against the other, but, of course, anyone who proposes the plan may also be turned against, so, as you said, MAD
@emardsly0513 conflict makes better television
Poor Barry😂😂. Helping everyone else except himself..
Hilarious that Jamie and Mike didn't trust each other for the important steps, only poor Barry 😂 and then Barry got last place!
That's because he was either talking too much or really fixated on his garnishes. He spent more time on those garnishes then the actual sashimi.
Jamie : **is talking, going in depth with the sake that he's using**
Mike : *BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH*
😂😂
Also Mike: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA.
Like.. Bestie. Really. WHAT was that laugh?! 😂
New curveball suggestion: the guys have to use their non-dominant hand for an unspecified amount of time.
I think that should only be done when they don't have to cut something... otherwise they might accidentally hurt themselves
@@naosuki Screwball before they plate the dishes. :p
Lanka Cajan a screwball and a curveball are two totally different things
New curveball suggestion: Stop using gimmicky shit like curveballs.
Oooh, mean. I like you.
"I need you to do what you're best at... I need you to turn that hob on and walk away." True. Also, 💀💀💀💀💀
hob.
Sorry. Nitpicking. But I had to. Much love.

This battle showed so much skill, I'm starting to question your status of normal.
They're definitely levelling up!
They're definitely levelling up!

@@NomaanTahir Do you think they're definitely levelling up? xD
I headcanon this as all the normies commenting this separately
You guys are gonna need new members soon, everyone is turning into chefs 😂 it's amazing how much better your culinary abilities have gotten recently
I have never seen Mike look so concerned than when Barry started talking about sashimi..
The second-hand anxiety was too real.
I'd love to see you guys do a colab with a history focused channel of some sort, maybe Townsends or something, and do a cooking battle without using any modern technology.
That's an awesome idea!
They did cook with limited technology during their camping trip
Do it with English Heritage channel and Mrs Crocombe!!
Brilliant idea!
Sashimi platter, Japanese fish & chips and mochi ice cream - come on, it's not a battle, it's a perfect meal 🤤
I was thinking the same.
Ben: "You all went into lockdown."
2020: "Ummm, let me show you something..."
Barry: **reveals plan for dish **
Mike and Jamie: **shocked expressions**
Mike: "I'm GUARANTEED second place!!!"
Well, he wasn't wrong.
Mike did not get enough credit for those Mochi icecream balls. I tried to make them a couple of days ago, mostly because they looked fancy, and after 6 hours of trying I gave up. Mochi is the worst thing I have ever tried to work with. It's the stickiest substance on earth! I swear NASA has looked into using it instead of bolts and welds on their spaceship.

You probably didn't use enough cornstarch to dust it. Plus, you have to clean the spoons and stuff by hand, washing machines don't cut it.
Maybe your spoons weren't clean because you were using your washing machine. I'd recommend using the dishwasher instead
Perhaps you didn't cook it enough? Because it really does need to come together from cooking. Well done even trying, though!!
9:56 Jesus CHRIST Mike's laugh scared the shit out of me 😂😂
Lyxa I was waiting I knew the monster was going to do something. 😅
Me too!!!
Barry: *recreates a two michelin star chef's sashimi plate*
Ben and James: Too simple
Meanwhile Mike made ice cream and Jamie made fish and chips
I'm not sure what your point is? If someone recreates a Mechlin star dish that doesn't mean that dish is worthy of a Michelin star. Obviously, Baz did a damn good job.
By your reductive descriptions Barry chopped up some fish and marinaded a watermelon.
Weird thing about Barry is that the more stressed out he is, the less control he has over his mouth. His enunciation just went out the window this battle and in the end-screen blooper he dribbled everywhere. CONTROL YOURSELF, BARRY!
That may have been because he sneaked a little too much sake to calm his nerves! It'd also explain his breach when he flicked Jamie's tempura leaf off the plate!
Mike's I'M GUARANTEED SECOND PLACE!!!
Hahaha 😂😂😂
@2:22
Oooooo look at you boys lookin' all professional in your matchy-matchy aprons!!! They're so adorkable I feel like it had to be Ben's idea.
Im actually really proud of Barry for taking on this challenge. He may not of done the greatest, but he still did amazing
I'm so excited for the chef vs chef battle!!
Can't wait
me to. i only don't understand them going to New York for a food battle about Japanese food. Go to Tokyo there you are more close to the source of the Japanese kitchen.
sirBrouwer, my guess is they were going to New York to film other videos so this was just a nice addition to what was already planned.
@@nanoflower1 that could work.
It is also probably easier and cheaper to go to new york instead of japan
Mike staring at the camera from behind Jamie as Jamie talks about his sake is everything
That Mike laugh behind Jamie was amazing 😂
Agreed but is also nightmare fuel
Curveball idea: you cannot proceed to the next step in your own recipe until you compliment one of the other guys in the kitchen!
That's going to be hard for those guys to keep that! Imagine if one of the curveballs involved the chattiest one being silent 15 min straight and the rudest one not being sassy for 15 min LOL that would be weird actually and probably very boring! Yet funny at the same time.
Mike and Jamie’s reactions when Barry announced what he was doing were just glorious
NotALizard I had the same only less legendary lol
3 years crushing on Mike and still going strong 😂💞
Samee
4 years for me tho 😂
Same!😂💓
Barry/james polyamory is the only correct choice.
Mike, you should have wrapped the sesame ice cream in the pink mochi - it would look just like a dragonfruit!
Ooooh nice idea!
Ooooh nice idea!
Ooooh nice idea!
A show where what Barry achieves here is unironically described as "very simple", means you have to stop calling yourselves NORMALS!
Kudos to Barry I say - nowhere to hide - hands down the winner.
I am LOVING the SORTED aprons! So clean. So classic.
*Jamie didn’t get the memo tho*
"you all went into lockdown cooking that dish" - ebbers. Oof, that comment didn't age well 😂
Barry was more out of his depth than a tuna climbing the Himalayas
Noice.
Mike is totally a goof ball during the whole video. His face gestures makes the video most funny
Wow! First time in a while that all three blew me away. REALLY well done Barry, I thought you were just asking for trouble with trying to recreate such skill but you did amazingly! IMO though...

Um, you mean Mike right?
@@daimahussain3190 It is WAY TOO EARLY lmao! Yes I meant Mike. :P
Ben whispering “Happiness” at the Japanese dishes is relationship goals 😂
Did I stay up till 2am Aus time just to watch Sorted? Yes, yes I did. Also still waiting for a Vegemite battle!
Ooh, yes, do a vegemite battle!!!
YES! bring it on!
Is it even possible to do any better than a vegemite grilled cheese sanga?
Serendip it can’t get better than that!
Barry's dish was my favorite and Mike is my favorite. His reactions are the best!
Bring back the night out challenge
The kiss on Barry's cheek. I love your friendship
OMG 😂 their faces when Barry and Jamie drank that tea.
Mike laughing at the old man Ebbers joke made my day. 😂 it took him a minute to process it.
Next curveball suggestion: ask someone else to season your dish however they want
Na have them switch dishes half way through the challenge
Riley Ingram nice! 👍🏼
Well, that is PURE EVIL 😈💦
Or, you have to ask someone else taste your dish before seasoning it, and season according to their feedback. So even if the taster does lie, you can still be somewhat reasonable with the seasoning. Maybe.
How the hell does Jamie keep getting points for fish and chips? I swear this is the third time he’s made it in competition alone
Can you do a Caribbean inspired dish? Sending you love from Barbados💞🇧🇧
omg im Trinidadian i would love that. good idea
Oh my god yes
Yes!!! Something African. Much much love from Nigeria.
I love Barry's solution for getting out of using the mixer for Mike! 👏
Curveball idea: Swap a key or centered ingredient out with a cheaper alternative: I.e. instant coffee for espresso beans, haddock/pollock for lobster/crab, imitation vanilla extract for vanilla bean. etc etc.
Jamie will be screwed, his steak swapped out for stewing beef
I have an idea for a battle if you guys want one: The Work Place Battle. Using only simple appliances that one might find in a work place break room, make the best meal you can but also in as short a period of time as you can to try and simulate the limited amount of time a worker will have to prepare/eat their lunch as well as simulating the limited tools they have.
I imagine this would be very helpful to a lot of people who struggle to cook anything decent at work
To be fair though, most people don't actually cook their lunch at work, they just reheat it. It could still be a fun concept though.
Can't wait for the amazingly accurate Japanese pronunciations 😂😂😂
Oh no 😂😂😂
Furry-kake 🤣🤣🤣
@@VirgoLunaKnight that's better than tem-PURE-ah surely. lol.
Mah-chi, mah-chi, mah-chi....I did so many quadruple takes because, I had never heard it pronounced that way...and as an American I am also very sure I have never heard it the proper way yet still.
I thought they were saying tem-pew-ra

@@FangsFirst o.O i didn't realize someone said "machi"? xD i got so hung up on "tempyura" 😣
