Christine is an amazing chef. I remember watching her back when she won the competition and being in awe. I’m glad to see she hasn’t lost her love of food and cooking.
As soon as she said she was tasting it, my first thought was “oh they’re going to be taken to school.” The thing I remember from her season of MasterChef was how everyone wanted her to taste their cooks because her palate is INSANELY sensitive, so she’ll be able to taste even the tiniest differences.
@@SortedFood Absolutely! Such an incredible journey she has been through, and what an amazing spirit to just live life how you want without letting ANY hindrances stop you. Truly an inspirational woman!
This was an awesome video. As a disabled person, the way that Christine's disability was handled was so fantastic! Often the way that disability is handled in media is so awful but Sorted were so good here. It's a breath of fresh air and very appreciated! The food makes me so envious!
When my daughter was in elementary school (she's 22 now), she did a project about Christine. We emailed her, and she actually wrote back! She very graciously and patiently answered all of my daughter's questions and was sweet, funny and down-to-earth. So happy to see that she's still doing wonderful things!!!
I gotta say, as a native Texan, and Houstonian more specifically, it’s so cool to see so many of the British side of youtube coming and enjoying what we have to offer in recent years. I love that you guys haven’t focused on just bbq like many do, but instead have taken in more of the multicultural side of what our state has to offer since we do have so much influence from others on our food and culture. I know there’s a lot of gimmick when it comes to the size of things in Texas but there’s so much more we have to offer than that. I really hope you guys enjoyed your time here!
These are my exact thoughts when watching this video!! Yes, we have amazing bbq, but this video definitely highlighted the diverse array of food that houston has to offer!! so glad you guys enjoyed it!
The only time I’ve ever felt like I used too much garlic was in tzatziki sauce. Of course there it’s raw. So that’s probably why. I doubt you can have too much cooked garlic
Witnessing Christine mention the sounds and smells of the kitchen and the food reinforce how alive our senses become when invigorated by ingredients, and particularly when one is removed.
I’ve been struggling with my mental health and very down recently. I’m starting the road to get back to myself and being able to watch sorted and see a happy healthy environment has been really great for me. Love the channel. And thank you for everything you’ve done for your community
I wish you the best! I truly do. Been there not so long ago myself unfortunately I have issues that can not be undone just managed so I truly wish the best! You can do, be and find joy again with help and I am excited to know your comeback is going to be an amazing journey that you will be able to look back on the next time and it makes the hope and knowing your not beyond help much lighter burden to carry! Best wishes -BB
Great video! After what Chef Christine did, I’d love to see a new series in the future where Ben/Kush/Food Team make a dish, the boys get to eat it, and then have to recreate it without instructions. All the correct ingredients, plus a few curveballs, store cupboard/pantry availability if they want to riff on it a little and make it their own, then have Ben and Kush judge it
I loved seeing her on MasterChef. She was so personable and likable. By the way gents, I had commented on one your videos about a month or so ago, about not having a job. Well, good news, I started my new job Monday and loving it so far! Cheers gents!
As a native Houstonian, it was so much fun to see you guys travel around the city that I grew up in! I loved that you emphasized the diversity in Houston and the different types of food.
Thanks for coming to Texas. I can't wait to see the Dallas/Fort Worth episode. Houston is the birthplace of Viet-Cajun fusion food. I grew up in cajun country, and I'm in Houston on a regular basis, and that fusion food is on my foodie to-do list. That blend of cuisines belong together.
I have an autoimmune disease, allthough it doesnt attack my eyes, it attacks my nerves and muscles. I feel completly helpless, honestly; mad props to Christine for not letting her illness stop her!🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for introducing me to Christine. I also have an auto immune . I was lucky when it hit my eyes it only caused very thick cataracts to come in only two years and years apart . Fortunately laser cataract surgery removed them. It mostly affect other things so I constantly adapting how I do things including cooking.
This video is amazing. Barry and Mike crushed it with the first challenge. It's not an easy task to cook up a Masterchef created dish with no proper recipe. Ben's trained them well! But also, Barry and Mike were so adorable during the whole video - holding hands, enjoying the skyline, going parasailing together- and the way Barry calmed Mike down when he was freaking out was so sweet. It looked like they had a great time! Ben and Jamie on the other hand, looked like they were sweltering. I was seriously worried they would get heat stroke at some point. I'm so glad they had a good time and got to experience the food market and brewery and have a bit more chill time. And the team challenge was incredible to watch. Both teams did great, but Jamie and Barry were really strategic about it, playing to Izzy and Tom's tastes and preferences. Really good job!
When Ben & Mike were at the ice cream stand brainstorming for their challenge dish, they were tasting something and Ben was looking at Mike for that recognition of the creative vision. I love Ben when he is thrown into something and think on the fly! The TX episodes have been great!
Oh it's Christine!!! I'm glad she's doing well! She was wonderful on Masterchef. Lovely to see the boys meeting her! She has such a sweet smile and her palate/sense of smell is amazing. Her "this sounds less wet" was really cool. Also Barry and Mike having some quality time together was just lovely.
You guys have been such an inspiration that I have decided switch careers 😅 I got my Honours degree in branding, and only 1 year into my first branding job I’ve decided it’s not what I want to spend my life doing. Now looking at culinary school ❤
I'm glad to see that you guys really got to go to some quintessential Houston places. Three Brothers is my favorite bakery, Blind Goat is excellent, and Ninfa's really is something special. A place I recommend to everyone who visits! We're sorry about Galveston. Just like in general.
Christine is an amazing chef. I remeber her on the competition and i was rooting, cheering and crying for her from the very beggining! So happy to see her here and that her love and passion for cooking is still strong!
I’ve said this before but it’s worth saying again. Your respect for other countries and cultures is so damned cool. Always respectful. Thank you and love you guys!❤
So glad y’all enjoyed Texas! I can’t wait to see DFW! I do want to mention that the markers with the Texas flags on them have the flags upside down-white goes on top…just a little thing… 😁 Love y’all to bits, and hope y’all come back soon! ❤
For various reasons, I've been looking to move out of Texas but videos like these remind me why I love my state so much. I wasn't born here, but I arrived in the 1980's when I was 8 years old and in that time it's become an important part of me. People from other places might say "Texas Pride" is some amount of derision, but it's a justified pride. It's deep and colorful and important.
I just love seeing the bond these guys share with each other. They’re so close that it melted my heart that Barry felt so comfortable holding hands with Mike. That’s great friendship! 😊
I am very happy to see Christine Ha being showcased, she was an incredible competitor and now getting to see behind the scenes, an obviously incredible chef and restauranteur. I am from Texas, my whole family is from Texas, and while its very fun to see you guys down there I would love for you to come to Seattle just for a look about. Maybe doesn't need to be a whole series but would love to see it.
I'm so glad you all had such a great time in Houston, was so excited to see Christine Ha in her element, I saw her on Master Chef back in 2011, she was awesome...still is. Great job Sorted team.
I hope you brought back lots of fun ingredients. Looked like you walked by the nopales, which would've been fun for you to experiment with, but I'm guess they're not easy to find back home.
i love when you guys check out the differing parts of the US, i would love to see you do some of the northern food areas, i don't remember you hitting north easter, Midwest or western foods. every area of the country has a different take on things.
You are right about that!!! Also, come to Las Vegas!!! We have EVERYTHING here, including stellar food!!! We are called "Sin City" for a reason--come find out why!!!!!💖💖💖🌵🌴
I have to admit...Ever since the hiccup episode (which made me laugh more than any other episode you've ever published)... Every Izzy cameo brings a smile to my face. More than 4 buds teasing each other, it really is THOSE human moments that create the best memorable moments.
SO amazing seeing Christine Ha again. I followed the Masterchef season she won and was constantly amazed at her skills and truly felt at the end, that she deserved the win. Glad to see her flourish!
12:50 "Kurakao" liqueur 😂😂 No but seriously great editing, tons of effort put into the production, a Christine Hà hosted challenge, amazing food. What more can you ask for really?
Watching this while I work and I suddenly look up and see the gents walking along the tracks and literally GASPED and thought-get off of there! Loving this series! Welcome to Texas boys!
I was so happy to see Ninfa’s and Mama Ninfa included in this video. My mother used to work for her and even went to several openings of her restaurants. I remember meeting her as a young girl and she was the sweetest person. So giving and caring. I am going to send this video to my mom and then wait to hear her tell more stories from her decades as a Ninfa’s employee. ❤️❤️
As a Californian, Mexican food is in our blood. So watching this series on Texas is so relatable to me and I didn't know the fajita was invented there. Love some big food history. If you ever go to San Diego, be sure to check out the restaurant that invented the Caesar salad.
Seeing you guys visit my hometown and learn about the foods I grew up on warms my heart. I’m so happy you guys had the opportunity to visit Houston, and I hope it treated you well :)
12:33 was so precious and wholesome and hilarious. I love it 😂 Also, I was not prepared to see boobs, however artfully done. 🤣 What a banger of an episode!
The Art Cars are actually unique to Houston culture. There’s a world renowned art car parade and huge art, vintage, and mod car culture. “Slangin’ and Bangin’.”
I remember when she won, I acctually still cry when I think about it. Representation is so important and she really truly shined, doing what she loves despite her dissabillity. I loved how she was treated like any other contestant and rreally got the chance to prove herself.
What amazing background music! This was a high quality video like most other Sorted Food videos, BUT I was blown away by the background music while Barry and Mike were cooking at The Blind Goat. It just really elevated this video for me.
What a wonderful surprise seeing Christine Ha, I watched her on MC and was thrilled when she won. It’s awesome to see that she has her own restaurant, (a lifelong dream of mine) and it’s doing well. She’s so sweet and deserves all her success. YOU GO GIRL!! 😊
Christine is a true inspiration. Maybe a future battle could be a battle where they put a blindfold on to pick the normals ingredients then cook with them
Man, I got so excited when I saw Christine Ha. Still one of the best MasterChef contestants, and certainly the most memorable. And it just made her victory even sweeter after Joe Bastianich, in all of his infinite, pompous wisdom, flat out said she doesn't belong in a kitchen because a blind person cooking is too much of a liability.
Really liked this woman. Her humor was perfect. She has a lot of charisma. Btw Ebbers, Dungeness crab is sweet whether large or small. [Edit] You move to Texas, I'll move to Texas, we'll all be happy. Big fan.
Glad yall came to Houston! At the beginning you gave us many accolades. However, you stated our city was the largest in Texas, but you forgot one of the most impressive... we're the 4 th largest city in all of America. Glad yall enjoyed your visit!!
❤❤❤ I love seeing you guys enjoying the various locations and cuisines of my country. There is so much to see/taste. It does my heart good. Never stop!
You were so impressed with the mix of Cajun French and Vietnamese. It doesn't surprise me. So much of the Vietnamese food we know today is a mix of French and Vietnamese from the post WW II occupation.
Thank you for including Christine in your tour, we've wondered how she was doing. Great, fun show!! Thanks for all the laughs and joy your show brings!
Playing catch up on Videos that I missed having just found the channel after the Sub 10 with Josh and the Mythical Kitchen team, then have to stop just a couple minutes in when I see a familiar face that had me immediately saying those boys and the team are going to be eating well this leg of the journey. Christine was my absolute favourite contestant ever on Master Chef. Watching her compete was inspiring.
You made living in houston seem much better than it is lol Ninfa's has fallen off quite a bit from when i was younger. There are some much better places for mexican here. I wish y'all could have tried Gaido's crab cheesecake. I dream about it. But yeah you definitely made this place look better.
Jamie, a tiny correction Tequeños are not from the Andes, they are Venezuelan, from a town called los Teques (tequeño means from los Teques). So you're right, they are from South America, but not from the Andean region. Edit: I hope you guys liked them, and that the sellers are successful.
I loved the previous episode in Texas and we’re all just here for some fun travel content. Thank you! Houston, we have a problem…of waiting between videos lol Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!
When Barry put his hand on Mike's while they were looking at the skyline, that was sweeter than the pie 🥧😊❤
😂😂😂
Yup. As much as they wind each other up almost incessantly, it's moments like that that remind you they've been friends for years. 🤠
I involuntarily said, "awww"
I just hope everything is okay between Barry and his wife!
@@peterterry7918who cares 🙄
Christine is an amazing chef. I remember watching her back when she won the competition and being in awe. I’m glad to see she hasn’t lost her love of food and cooking.
She was incredible! Very knowledgeable and welcoming to us.... what a restaurant she has!
@@SortedFoodShe's awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Just imagine how difficult it is dealing with sharp knives and literal fire and boiling liquids and oils while blind on a daily basis!
@@anthonysiu6010I remember when she was on Masterchef. A competitor had her cook with a LIVE lobster. Evil jerk.
This woman is a massive inspiration to ... well EVERYONE.
Christina! Oh my goodness I always wondered how her career took off after doing Master Chef. So awesome to see you guys working with her
Christina is an incredible human! ❤
@@SortedFood LOVED HER!
As soon as she said she was tasting it, my first thought was “oh they’re going to be taken to school.” The thing I remember from her season of MasterChef was how everyone wanted her to taste their cooks because her palate is INSANELY sensitive, so she’ll be able to taste even the tiniest differences.
She streams semi-regularly on Twitch! I recommend her channel.
@@SortedFood Absolutely! Such an incredible journey she has been through, and what an amazing spirit to just live life how you want without letting ANY hindrances stop you. Truly an inspirational woman!
I can't decide which I loved more: Ben calling it "The Sport" or the number of times Barry held Mike's hand.
Hilarious really! Reminds me of the comedians, Garfunkel and Oats who did a song that starts, "Sports, go sports!" It's hilarious.
I love how the boys so freely express their affections with each other 🥰
I would have been happy if he'd mistaken it for Cricket...
@@andieluke1366 Me too.
This was an awesome video. As a disabled person, the way that Christine's disability was handled was so fantastic! Often the way that disability is handled in media is so awful but Sorted were so good here. It's a breath of fresh air and very appreciated! The food makes me so envious!
I agree - they mentioned it and then stopped and treated her like the award winning, super successful chef and business owner that she is.
When my daughter was in elementary school (she's 22 now), she did a project about Christine. We emailed her, and she actually wrote back! She very graciously and patiently answered all of my daughter's questions and was sweet, funny and down-to-earth.

Barry insisting on holding Mike’s hand throughout this video had me cackling 😂
It made me laugh too. Shows the depth of comfort in their friendship, which is humorous and heartwarming.
That's one of the many things I love about these guys, normalising men being physically affectionate with each other.
@@nudgificatorcompletely agree!
Just honest-to- goodness friendship. So lovely
Baz and Mike on their little friend date was the cutest thing ever.
Barry: “You can never have too much garlic.”
Christine: “You can.”
🎶 YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF, YOU DO🎶
I loved her almost flat tone when she said it.
I guess he forgot the poker face extreme food challenge and the garlic puff thing
I respect her expertise but vehemently disagree. I routinely put whole heads of garlic in things that call for four or five cloves 😂 yum
The only time I’ve ever felt like I used too much garlic was in tzatziki sauce. Of course there it’s raw. So that’s probably why. I doubt you can have too much cooked garlic
Totally agreed. I personally like garlic but I know there's such a thing as too much especially if I'm cooking something to feed other people.
Give Ben an unlimited budget to make a crazy meal for the normals
Great idea!
@@SortedFoodAmazing😊😊😊😊
Should it be Ben + Kush, or just Ben? Time limit, or unlimited time budget as well?
@@modernkennnern Ben + Kush, they play off eachother really well and when any of them are stressed it adds more to our amusement, so time limit.
@@modernkennnern Ben vs kush with unlimited budget would be amazing
Witnessing Christine mention the sounds and smells of the kitchen and the food reinforce how alive our senses become when invigorated by ingredients, and particularly when one is removed.
My toxic trait is thinking I could handle the Pumpecapple by myself 😂 looks stupendous!
That's ours too TBF 😂
I could handle it myself no problem. It would just take a week or two.
Absolutely fascinated by the Pumpecapple!

You are not alone. Hoping you are continuing on the path to health
As a Texan and a Sorted Fan this series has been soooo much fun to watch. Loved the last US trip and this one as well, keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
Thank you! We're so glad you've enjoyed them :)
As a Vietnamese Houstonian who has been watching Sortedfood since 2015, this video makes my heart so happy!! 🥰😁
Great video! After what Chef Christine did, I’d love to see a new series in the future where Ben/Kush/Food Team make a dish, the boys get to eat it, and then have to recreate it without instructions. All the correct ingredients, plus a few curveballs, store cupboard/pantry availability if they want to riff on it a little and make it their own, then have Ben and Kush judge it
💯
Christine Ha is one of my food heroes. I’m glad she is still her peppy and wonderful self. Her resilience is an inspiration. ❤
I loved seeing her on MasterChef. She was so personable and likable. By the way gents, I had commented on one your videos about a month or so ago, about not having a job. Well, good news, I started my new job Monday and loving it so far! Cheers gents!
I start my new job tomorrow as well! Binge-watching SortedFood because I'm stressed 😅. Congrats to you! You've got this!! 💪💪
@@CharlieCharlie-zf2hs congrats to you as well!!
I just love how Jamie is like: we need snacks to be able to take on this challenge. 😂
He does have the highest hunger rating 😂
Right? They always make me laugh!
Jamie calling stuff snacking "insert foid item here" always makes me giggle.
As a Texan. Thank you very much for embellishing things a bit. Like what's in Galveston or there is more to Houston than massive Traffic jams.
As a native Houstonian, it was so much fun to see you guys travel around the city that I grew up in! I loved that you emphasized the diversity in Houston and the different types of food.

Jamie at 1:27 pronouncng Huston wrong killed me🤣
For various reasons, I've been looking to move out of Texas but videos like these remind me why I love my state so much. I wasn't born here, but I arrived in the 1980's when I was 8 years old and in that time it's become an important part of me.

To me, anyway.
Really enjoying the tender moments between Baz and Mike 😂
My other half worked in Dallas for a fortnight a few years ago. He was blown away by the size of the portions and how delicious their steaks were!!!
Their steaks are insane right!
I just love seeing the bond these guys share with each other. They’re so close that it melted my heart that Barry felt so comfortable holding hands with Mike. That’s great friendship! 😊
YOOO CHRISTINE! Her season on Master Chef was the best in the shows history in my opinion. So cool to see some of my fav worlds collide!

Great that Christine is here - she has always seemed both incredibly nice and ridiculously talented.
Was it just me and my Wife or did everyone else parrot Jamie's, "Hooston"?
I'm still waiting for them to pronounce "paella" with the "ll"=y.
I'm so glad you all had such a great time in Houston, was so excited to see Christine Ha in her element, I saw her on Master Chef back in 2011, she was awesome...still is. Great job Sorted team.
Fun episode boys! So glad to see you enjoying the foods and cultures of Texas! 💛
Thank you, we loved it there!
I hope you brought back lots of fun ingredients. Looked like you walked by the nopales, which would've been fun for you to experiment with, but I'm guess they're not easy to find back home.
As a native Houstonian, I feel like you absolutey did our city justice. I loved everything about this video. Well done!
As a Houstonian, to say Galveston is a beautiful beach is a stretch :)
Those pie cakes are insane! Also, love the "(b)romantic" element at the end of your picnic - made it feel even more cinematic :D

I love christine. I cried when she won, it was beyond deserved, she was and still is incredible
"What I hate about local food is that it isn't local to me". As a lifelong Midwesterner who loves good seafood, i felt that in my soul
I have to admit...Ever since the hiccup episode (which made me laugh more than any other episode you've ever published)... Every Izzy cameo brings a smile to my face. More than 4 buds teasing each other, it really is THOSE human moments that create the best memorable moments.

Man, I got so excited when I saw Christine Ha. Still one of the best MasterChef contestants, and certainly the most memorable. And it just made her victory even sweeter after Joe Bastianich, in all of his infinite, pompous wisdom, flat out said she doesn't belong in a kitchen because a blind person cooking is too much of a liability.
Christine!!!!!!!! I wasn't watching my screen when she started talking and I broke into tears. She was my favorite!
I am loving this series! I'm living vicariously through your travel adventures and am SO here for it!
Starting the video by walking down the metro tracks was hilarious.
Christine! I remember watching her win MasterChef! Such an amazing chef and a wonderful person ❤
Between holding Mike's fist and...slapping(???) Jaime's, I don't think Barry knows what a fistbump is.
Learnt my lesson for part 2 and got a snack to eat whilst watching as last weeks one made me super hungry!
That sounds like an excellent idea. I knew I forgot about something…
Really liked this woman. Her humor was perfect. She has a lot of charisma.
Btw Ebbers, Dungeness crab is sweet whether large or small.
[Edit]
You move to Texas, I'll move to Texas, we'll all be happy. Big fan.
Those were Blue Crabs, not Dungeness. They are flatter and smaller.
Tried to find where they ate them and couldn't find the bit were referring to.
Honestly those crabs looked like neither as I recall...
remember Christina from Masterchef. Talent doesn't even describe it, she is inspirational
Glad yall came to Houston! At the beginning you gave us many accolades. However, you stated our city was the largest in Texas, but you forgot one of the most impressive... we're the 4 th largest city in all of America. Glad yall enjoyed your visit!!
I was literally raised 2 hours east of Houston and yet this episode taught me so much! Loving it!!! ❤❤❤
Absolutely loving this series
Christine is so sweet ❤❤❤ love seeing such friendly, kind collaborators who are just so much fun to watch!! 🎉 Awesome!
I love that you’ve got Christine on the channel!! Her series is one of the few of US Masterchef I’ve managed to watch through.
❤❤❤
I love seeing you guys enjoying the various locations and cuisines of my country. There is so much to see/taste. It does my heart good. Never stop!
You were so impressed with the mix of Cajun French and Vietnamese. It doesn't surprise me. So much of the Vietnamese food we know today is a mix of French and Vietnamese from the post WW II occupation.
Thank you for including Christine in your tour, we've wondered how she was doing. Great, fun show!! Thanks for all the laughs and joy your show brings!
I was *just* in Houston, it's wild seeing the boys hitting up some of the places that I went! POST was definitely one of the favorites of the trip :)
Playing catch up on Videos that I missed having just found the channel after the Sub 10 with Josh and the Mythical Kitchen team, then have to stop just a couple minutes in when I see a familiar face that had me immediately saying those boys and the team are going to be eating well this leg of the journey. Christine was my absolute favourite contestant ever on Master Chef. Watching her compete was inspiring.
You made living in houston seem much better than it is lol
Ninfa's has fallen off quite a bit from when i was younger. There are some much better places for mexican here.
I wish y'all could have tried Gaido's crab cheesecake.
I dream about it.
But yeah you definitely made this place look better.
Spongebob: Hey Patrick what am I now?
Patrick: Uhh? Stupid?
Spongebob: No! I'm Texas!
Patrick: What's the difference?
Jamie, a tiny correction Tequeños are not from the Andes, they are Venezuelan, from a town called los Teques (tequeño means from los Teques). So you're right, they are from South America, but not from the Andean region.
Edit: I hope you guys liked them, and that the sellers are successful.
So glad I'm in Houston, can't wait to try all these places!! I LOVE the Houston farmer's market, such a fun place to go and try new things!
I loved the previous episode in Texas and we’re all just here for some fun travel content. Thank you! Houston, we have a problem…of waiting between videos lol
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!
Loving Barry’s hat, and that whole fit.
