Ben couldn't stop himself at the end. And I'm thankful for it.
Totally not dirty minded 😂
Me "He couldn't not," Spouse: "I mean, he _could_ not." Me: "Ok fine, Ben wouldn't not."
😂😂😂😂😂👏
My wife's comment is unsuitable for a family-oriented website such as this.
Can he ever?
For unplanned battles they should do rock paper scissors for each cloche
I think you’re missing the point. That would be FAIR. I’m not convinced our boys are capable of that.😂
Or the winner get to choose first on first and third.
Nah i prefer this format way better. I live for the salt.
Or winner has to start cooking first, and loser gets more time to think
I agree. It would heighten the suspense. One contestant could still lose all three, but it wouldn’t be a given.
I love when Ben says "Sorted" after cooking. A little nod to the classic sorted food video format. :)
Absolutely. Me too.
I quite like that it’s not all the time now, it feels like a little treat when we hear it
I'm pretty sure the whole reason they are called Sorted is b/c of him having that mannerism. So he's just saying it naturally now I think, instead of purposefully like before. lol
Omg yes 🖤🖤🖤
It's always fun watching how the chef's brains work. Ben getting annoyed at the bun request made me chuckle.
I thought it was very weird aswell, while we eat a lot of hot dogs as a street food in Denmark, we very often make sausages without buns at home
" chefs' " FYI.
@@Fitzrovialitter ffs, take some advice and don't be like this, dork
He just doesn't like his sausage in a bun before it is being polished.
@@Fitzrovialitter?
And closing with a zinger of a Bennuendo 😮😂😂😂😂
He looked like he even surprised himself!!!
I'll be honest, I was hoping to see Ben and the boys polish off his sausage together to see what the wasabi cream was all about
@@thomasrocke no need to go overboard
hilarious outro
Man it is so fascinating to watch both Ben and Kush cook in the kitchen, seems like everything they do just seems to come naturally!
They have been cooking at a professional level for about 20 years each, you would bloody hope so
I had a HUGE grin on my face when I saw Ben's ingredients. And he was definitely the winner for me!...My mother was German, and My Step Dad was Jamaican!!!...So I grew up (back in the 1960s) on a real fusion of cuisines (especially as being a Forces Brat we travelled the word ..Mum learned African Cuisine when in Libya.. and 2 glorious years in Singapore added Malaysian to the mix!)...and I just love the idea of calling the food of my youth Germaican cuisine!!!!
Wow, that's a great twist for the comment section :)))
Cool culinary childhood. We thought Italian food was fancy. I'd be happy seeing more Germaican food.
I have been scrolling through the comments looking specifically for someone to say they were "Germaican" and hear their thoughts 😅 I was not disappointed!
I love how everyone set Ben up for that Ben-uendo! Then Barry turning 5 shades of red was perfection.
Idea for a series: "An evening with..."
Either a chef or a normal shows off, what they would make at home, when entertaining guests. Perhaps at home, with the rest of the boys turning up in the end, as dinner guests...
Even better, give them 15 minutes and then have someone show up that they’d really like to impress as the surprise guest
Basically come dine with me
I love this idea!
They kinda did this a few years ago didnt they?
This sounds like their big night in series
Growing up with food network, I hate cook battles in general but the guys at sorted make it fun and interesting with actual camaraderie and dialogue about the process without all the needless annoying added drama or constant cuts. Thanks guys!
Word!
That’s why Ben is Ben: nothing seems to bother him in the kitchen creativeness. Bring the challenge, he’ll respond present! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I do love this format, but I'd be interested in seeing one where they both use the same set of ingredients. So, the person who chooses isn't just considering ingredients they like vs ingredients to give to their opponent, but they're trying to pick ingredients that they think they can use better than the other guy.
I need more chef's battles. Normal's battles are fun to watch and can bring some unexpected gems, but chef's battles is where it's at. Those are the recipies I take inspiration from.
I hate how good and creative this is. In just 15 min. I can barely tie my shoes in that time. Well done Chefs
"I think it's time now, please pass judgment and pick, importantly, the loser of today's battle."
🤣😆🤣😆
This statement is so them. I love their friendship and the way they can poke at each other in such a silly way. 😆🥰
I love listening to Ben’s thinking process. It’s just amazing how he pairs things and when he explains it, it just makes sense!
As good as mates as Ben and kush are, you can tell how good a chef kush is with how annoyed he looked at end when he lost😂
All he could give was a tight smile 🥲
@@MinorKey135 it was the eyes 😂
Ebbers smashed it genuinely impressed and Kush made such a stunning looking dish too. Well played Chefs!
Ebbers making sausage and chips in a battle is fabulous
At least it wasn't a fish pie (not that I don't like a fish pie. I'm just saying).
(Ebbers, can you please make me a fish pie for Christmas? We don't have them in America, really).
The difference between chef and normal demonstrated right at the start, chef wins rock paper scissors and chooses the octopus / squid… I reckon 99% of most normals would have picked the sausages!
99% would've chosen sausages just because it was only 15 min long challenge. Most people take about an hour to cook octopus.
If it were about 1 hour challenge about I'd bump the odds that a normal would've chose octopus to 40%, because this is a foodie channel.
@@lewismaddock1654 The octopus was pre-cooked
Well Barry is a normal and he chose Ben's sausage... so you're correct!
When I saw Ben's ingredients, I immediately thought about mofongo. I would have fried up the plantains and the hot dogs in the same oil until the dogs were crispy and the plantain cooked and then mashed them up with garlic, oil, and topped with some quick pickle onion and a sauce of olive oil, garlic, cilantro (or other herb), and lime. This battle was so fun to watch. :)
Ebbers, please never stop with the innuendo! You make me laugh every time.
Giving the King of Bennuendos Hot Dogs. Kush knew what he was doing...
I think its so fascinating how kush's work is always so cheffy and sophisticated but the reality is he just when in doubt blends everything together, and just puts stuff in a hot pan to cook lol its actually nothing very complicated at all but the results are fantastic.
Man I get it why Ben's dish got the win, but Kush's dish looked so complex and thought out for just 15 minutes. It'd seriously love to try that.
Whoever edited the plating to cut between two chefs attempting almost identical plating styles with two very different plates of food, deserves a raise.
i would love to see a battle where the two chefs exchange the ingredients they used in this battle so we see what the other would have done with them!!
Or even rerun the battle but they have to produce a different dish using the same ingredients!
I LOVE Mike commentating. Always so wholesome :3
Watching the chefs at work is like watching theatre. It's as much an art as it is food science, it genuinely blows my mind how they can see amazing flavour from very random ingredients.
The last time I felt like I did at the end of this video was when James and Kush wrapped up a pass it on in the summer live stream last year, they walked into chaos and brought together an incredible dish from nowhere...
I'm so intrigued by Ben's Currywurst.
What a way to re-invent a classic. I can't speak for all Germans, but I approve.
Btw. Both Berlin and Hamburg claim to have invented the Currywurst.
Edit after watching the full video: I am offended at Barry's suggestion of a bun. I am off to alert the press.
Yup, that hurt my soul. Maybe he's a Yank in disguise? after all, Yanks love to ruin dishes.
In that case shouldn't the "burger" have a bun as well? None of those dishes needed bread.
Hot dogs aren't the right type of Wurst for Currywurst, so I'm not sure it should be called a re-invention.
To be fair.. a Bun with everything on that plate inside sounds amazing :P
As this "currywurst", with the wrong wurst and no curry, is so far away from Currywurst, Barry can have a bun.
"clasics from berlin that don't need changing" procedes to change everything about the currywurst exept the Ketchup.
As a German I am both appalled and fascinated by Bens dish 😂
I am convinced that is an intended outcome of most of the fusion cooking challenges.
@@pileofstuff I think you are onto something! 😂
As a Berliner, I knew my time to be offended had come as soon as Ben started making Currywurst out of Hot Dogs...
@@vrdn22 Yeah that is one thing. And the dill in the sauerkraut was just wrong aswell.
@@vrdn22 That's when I became uneasy, but was prepared to let it slide. As a (half-)Swabian, I lost it when he proclaimed honey beer pretzels to be a thing in Germany.
Ben confirms with one of his best lines so far that he is in fact in on the joke. Polish off that sausage, we won't judge you!
Kush had my vote. Potatoes, lentils and chorizo? Sign me up!
From seeing the dishes being prepared, and from Barry's descriptions. I would probably love both dishes. But I think my winning choice would have been Kush's dish because of the balance that Barry described. Proper balance in a dish, and in a battle like this? Not an easy feat.
I would love to see a challenge where they each get the same ingredients but their 15 minutes starts when they lift the cloche.
To paraphrase Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith from the A-Team, "I love it when a stitch-up goes awry!" Both chefs did well, but Ben played to Barry's tongue. He loves it when he noshes on his sausage.
This battle is the reason why I watch Sorted. Sure, pass-it-on are fun. But just seeing Kush and Ben being in absolute control, having pretty much finished the dish in 6 minutes is more satisfying... I guess it tells more about me ...
I love Kush's reaction to hearing what Ben made. You can tell he hadn't thought of making something like that. It's this way of lighting up where you can see both that passion for cooking and a good competitive spirit
I love how Kush wasnt even subtle about picking ingredients, just to sabotage Ben 😂
The Benuendos are getting _delightfully_ unhinged!
And good grief, lads, both dishes look absolutely stonking! I wanna try making both of those now.
Chef vs chef challenge but Ebbers isn't allowed to use herbs and Kush isn't allowed to use a blender 😂
That last minute innuendo - thanks Ben.
There was one clear winner in this battle - the audience. Well done guys.
Damn, really wanted to see the chef's try each others' dishes at the end.
Ben vs Kush, check. Unplanned with random ingredients, check. Insane time limit, check. This'll be awesome!
Check.
Kush’s ingredient sabotage right off the bat 😂
If we're all honest.... we'd try to sabotage if we could
Though this time it seems to have failed.
Honestly, the only one that surprised me was the wasabi but then I adore the stuff :)
@@MrGrimsmith Yeah, I've been known to add it to my tuna salad for a bit of a kick. (Just the one for me, mind. I don't think anyone else in the house would appreciate it.)
The ultimate Benuendo at the end 😂
I love how even Ebbers was shocked by the result!
I absolutely love these Cheffy battles ... those two are so amazing to watch, especially with mad ingredients. I have never seen a hot dog look so good!
Ben doing his victory lap with an innuendo is gold.
This is one of my favourite YT channels. Love the kind of content that goes into it. Passion, wackiness, humour, and skill.
More of these please! The chef vs chef battles are great, nice one guys! 😄
10:50 mike looks like hes about ready to drool at that description
I would be happy with both to be honest. I love chef battles
The ending comment... The Wurst Ben-uendo ever!
It is so awesome to have two such talented chefs. It’s so fun watching them work.
I think if you win the rock, paper scissors, you should take turns. So the winner chooses first and third while the loser still gets to choose the second item.
Love it when a vlog features Kush 👍🏻
i love seeing the calmness of ben and the chaos of kush
Fun currywurst fact - Volkswagen sells currywurst that they originally made just for the staff canteen at one factory.
And it even has a VW Originalteile part number.
Which is 199 398 500 A,
And for the Ketchup it's 199 398 500 B.
Also VW sell more sausages than cars! (Though you do have to watch your exhaust emissions after a night on the currywurst). 💨
They tried to put it off the menu last year. Safe to say they had a "weirdly timed" strike after that
@@xGxPhantomZzz well, only that everything you said is wrong
@@enisra_bowman Why should I be wrong about that? They made the Currywurst veggie and that backfired hilarously.
The bennuendo is strong in this one 🤣
I liked Kush'es ambidexterity. How easily he does small things with both hands simultaneously. Other thing I noticed, at least in those pieces that are on video, is that Kush tastes everything all the time, after each adjustment, while Ben didn't taste either of his sauces (again, on video).
Ben just entered the only pantry in England that doesn't have 14 bottles of Worcestershire Sauce
worth watching till the end just for Ben's polished sausage closure! 🤣 Wverybody just stunned! Well done chefs!
this is the best one yet we need more chef vs chef
Kush's reaction when his dish lost..like Barry you are full.of crap lying.😂😂😂
ben really thought "what would jaime do? right try to offend at least 2 countries" 😂
Man…Ebber’s had the makings of an Arizona Sonoran Hot Dog. 😂
🎵 Barry and Ben are the best of friends.... 🎵
Well done Ben, two incredible dishes in 15 minutes. Pity you both cant win.
9:50 Being a German I never ever have heard of honney beer prezels in my entire life.
ye, you have to look in the american snacks section, not the mini bretzel one, it's more a "reimport" like Hamburger
@@enisra_bowman Well I do know honney mustard flavoured pretzel pieces, but never heard of beer honey ones
@@anticom1337 oh wait, it might dawned on me: Ben could mean "Bier Bretzeln", the Large Hard ones.
But there are like Bier- or Teewurst not made with, but eaten with Beer. And maybe someone made a Honey Version, which i find more likely than one with Met Flavour
@@enisra_bowman That kinda makes sense!
As a German I was really excited about the fusion! But Ben lost me with the Sauerkraut 😂 it just does not belong with Currywurst… and I’ve never heard of beer and honey pretzels… sounds very American to me 😂
Dill and Juniper sauerkraut...omg. What a beautiful combo. Added to the personal menu. Yum!
For the Chef v Chef unplanned battles they should totally space out the ingredients. Have the battle head to head and reveal a new ingredient every 5 minutes.
Loved this one - the innuendo at the end was just perfect!
amazing, this is what I am here for. kush and ebbers knocked it out of the park with their creativity!
The absolute excitement in Kush's voice from screwing Ebbers over is GOLD
The first winner choosing all is a bit unfair! Great video!
Kush looks knackered… I’m thinking the baby isn’t sleeping well at the moment! I would choose his dish over Ben’s.
Here in México we call those prickley pears Tunas, and the proper way to cut them is to slice off its ends, and then make a vertical cut on one side. The rest of the skin just comes right off in a single pull, saving you a lot of time and wasting none of the juicy fruit inside, also helps avoid the thorns!
16:01 I love Ben and his sense of humor, lol!
I enjoyed Kush's Muttley laugh at 0:59.
Currywurst does NOT come in a bun. It is most often served cut up into pieces, chips on the side on an oblong or rectangular paper plate with a wooden mini fork.
And with a ladle full of sauce over it. No way you could get that into a bun without having the sauce all over your hand (as it's also rather runny - and when you get _Wurst im Brötchen_ about half of the sausage is sticking out the sides).
A bun on the side instead of fries? Yes!
A bun to stuff the Currywurst into? Hell no!
🤣
@@DanniPf this! But those slightly stale buns :D that stick together from baking on a sheet together :-P
The direct eye contact into the camera as Ben delivered the Bennuendo was perfection!!!!
Fantastic video, the challenge I've been waiting for! Excellent work from both chefs!
I just adore Ben and his cheeky innuendos! 😂
Two word: Professional Chaos
That should be their restaurants name!
As someone from Arizona in the United States, I’m so excited to see them cook with prickly pear! We make a ton of prickly pear things. It’s super sweet and used in cocktails (as a syrup) and candies mainly. Jams too!
Ben with the zinger!!! Love it when they nail the jokes 😂
I really vibe with Kush's riffing on food ideas as he cooks.
I cook in a similar way so its nice to see a professionally trained chef do the same
9:52 As a German, I've never heard of or seen Honey-Beer-Pretzels before.
I think you guys should do rock paper scissors for each pair of ingredients for future battles
As a German I am fascinated about how many things Ben names as German that I have never heard about. This must be, how all the other nationalities feel, whenever Sorted starts doing fusion cooking.
Edit: Like, sauerkraut with currywurst??? Honey-beer-pretzels?
I think it must be regional because other Germans in the comments are saying exactly the opposite 🤷🏻
Okay, thats the absolute best double entendre so far!
Holly cow Kush is super fast😮
Using precooked and instant ingredients helped.
Ben, as a brit living in germany, ALWAYS cut the sausage on a currywurst, then you can fry the ends :)
There’s the Ben. “Polish up my sausage”
But well done Kush as well.
And always to the other lads and crew ❤
Unplanned battles are actually the best! love you guys!😘
Really hard challenge. But I grew up with fried plantains so I'm biased lol. Great video. Love you all
