The "maybe chefs" (since you don't want to use "normals") should do a ultimate battle where they have to use knife skills (etc) and prepare the mise en place (the the chefs standards)
Given the popularity of ‘gourmet makes’ - this book should be your guys version. I propose the whole series is called ‘Mike Makes’ and he (alone) uses the book to recreate iconic meals such as the Big Mac.
It's pretty much dead on, except I think the sauce's emulsion started to break, and the chives leeched their color into the sauce because you put it back on the burner, but otherwise great execution. I've eaten at the french laundry so many times that I have a pretty good feeling of their off days haha
My dad was a line cook for 15 years and when Mike went to pick up the dish, but it was too hot... then Ben just picked it up and plated it, it made me laugh. Every time I go to pick something up and it's too hot, my dad immediately picks it up cause he has no feeling in his hands any more...
It's been my experience that the feeling of burning is still there but I don't have time to give a shit. It's more about not caring about the burn. Maybe it's just me. Dunno.
@@SybilHolidayHolidayOHara We called it 'Cast Iron Fingers'. :) I miss mine (retired from cheffing about 15 yrs ago). I still can handle hotter plates/dishes than most people, but back in the day I could practically grab stuff right out of the oven if I was quick.
@@SybilHolidayHolidayOHara Everybody in my field called them that too. But as soon as it hits your arm, you can feel the heat. I have plenty of scars from burns on my forearms from forgetting that things are hot.
Shaved Jamie looks like someone else's arse. I say "someone else's" because I shudder to even think what Jamie's arse must be like, if that's his face.
Ben is just so lovely. He's always so aware of not making the others feel less than, all about reminding people of their strengths. Honestly, , we should all try to be like Ben.
That is pretty common among my friends. They had to learn all of that stuff (like French knife cuts) in culinary school but they don't do it as a day to day thing. Learning how to do a puree/sieving it through a couple graduated tamis is part of any course but I don't know anyone that has done it in years. (Unless you are working in fine dining or an old school French place.)
Could you get in contact with one of either Ben's or James' teachers for them to be graded on their cooking skills again? Or maybe have them compare one of the Amature chefs vs one of the Pros?
This is one of the most touching episodes ever. Mike and Ben both seemed they enjoyed making this, Barry and Jamie are hilarious as always, there were some parts that actually made me feel all warm inside, the "you are not normals" anymore will stay with me for a long time. Also congrats Mike.
@@zeuswill1056 no shade at all! It's great! It'd actually Insporing because I've learned all kinds of tricks and realise 'hey, of Jamie can learn to do that I can too!'
Yeah, it’s definitely more “professional chef vs amateur chef” these days. Which is totally fine! But it would be fun if they did a series where they thew a “real” normal in the mix. Like, chef - “normal” - random member of the production crew in a competition.
@@rainydays9967 here they are threatening to make health professionals shave off their beards 'cause of it. So it might not be that far off. COV19 *is* killing beards.
I like seeing Ben cook with the others. He always tries to be positive and helpful teaching the others and judging their food. Even when he's doing a chef vs chef, he has no problem losing and congratulating to the winner. All this even when they tease him. I'd love to have a teacher like him when I decide to go to school! Love all guys and love the show!
My favorite part was when Ben stopped him from grabbing the dish because it was hot, but then immediately does it himself. Reminds me of my mom (She's also a chef)!
This is my favourite video of yours (of the ones that I can remember recently at least)! I have had this dish at Per Se and loved it, and I find chefs like Keller really interesting. Plus the idea of the book is so great. And I loved how you surprised Ben with the task. And I love the combo of Mike and Ben cooking together. Probably my favourite pairing. So sweet when Mike was checking in with Ben to see if he was enjoying it. And I LOL'd several times - snacking tapioca/snackioca! And the whole adorable chive chopping thing. And finally, I love it when Ben actually gets to cook (even if it wasn't the style of cooking he likes).
I just wanted to add that with all the accolades of this dish, and how it's become an iconic dish of the two restaurants, Chef Keller admitted in an interview that he had never personally tried the dish (not sure if that is still the case these days). When the interviewer was surprised and asked him about it, Keller said he doesn't need to taste it to know that it works.
Chopping extra chives just for fun, not letting Mike touch the hot dish, "Every learning experience is fun, Michael".....there was just so much to love about Ben in this episode!
Mike is me whenever I cook with my mom who's a great chef. Ben: "we're gonna use yours" Mike: "but now i don't want use mine because yours are so much better!"
Ben before: "It just could not be further from the food I enjoy cooking." Ben after: "It's heavenly. It can just be a little technique that you may well see in a Chef versus Chef battle soon. I liked cooking from the book once I had time to plan & prep." That's what makes Thomas Keller amazing.
10:07 Protecting someone else by doing something yourself (especially in the kitchen when you're the more advanced cook) is such a natural thing that I subconsciously anticipated Ben's asbestos-hands maneuver and thought nothing of it until Mike's subsequent reaction! LOL
His face was priceless, but I don't believe Ben was motivated by ego, I think he's a perfectionist who struggles to put up with second best at times. I think using Mike's chives was a triumph of will over ego in the end. Even if Mike hated it hahaha
I don’t think it was about ego. I took it more as Ben providing a teaching moment. Mike had just bragged about how small he could cut them. Ben showed him that there was still more he could do and learn in an area where Mike thought he had peaked
That's how you recognize a chef really. "it's very hot, I didn't want you to burn yourself" and then instantly picking up said very hot dish themselves(without any reaction).
Seeing the original 4 here and being able to appreciate how far all of you have come in a *decade* was amazing!! (Was Jamie trying to return to ye olde days??) Really fun episode, Ben was absolutely right, you guys aren't normals, Mike and Barry are at a different level while Jamie is and has always been an instrument of chaos. Happy 10 years Sorted!!!! Here's to 10 years more!
I know its a simple format but, I love seeing Ben or James cook with the "normals" one-on-one. It's just so wholesome and entertaining to see the teamwork and difference in style and thinking. Great video as always!
Ben sounded like such a mom this episode! He kept trying to raise Mike's confidence in the kitchen while at the same time trying to protect Mike from hurting himself. It's kinda adorable
Watching Ben realize that the instructions weren't in order and then have a small meltdown as he flips back and forth to try to reassemble the dish in chronological order was just the best. Also please do another Chefs Try Recipes From A Book with the Discworld Cookbook. I really want to see you guys make some of them.
It took me a second watch to figure out why Jamie laughed at 'season' 'sea'-son When he isn't even charge of Dad Joke of the Week he is still the king of Dad Jokes lol
Watching Barry and Jamie on the sidelines is so entertaining, they have such a good relationship and it’s the simple jokes they make that really bring a different dimension to the video
I tried this dish at per se (about a month ago). Hands down 1 of the best caviar dishes I’ve ever had. Eating Thomas Keller’s food I can only describe as being given a lecture on how food is supposed to taste. Truly iconic
Please bring this book and this calibre of recipe back. I realize the average viewer won't make it, but it's great seeing Ben get to flex his skills and seeing Mike actually contribute is extremely impressive.
Hey so I watch this with my dad (he loves you guys) and he saw Jamie and said "someone needs to comment that Jamie needs to grow his beard back." So here I am, delivering my dad's message.
Late reply, but I also had it at "The French Laundry" in 2010. I don't think it was served on 4 dishes stacked on top of each other, but the dish itself *looks* pretty much identical! What I remember most about the meal was how each dish built on the one before and actually took you on a journey. Longest, and most intellectually challenging meal I've ever had! Oh, another incredible thing about French Laundry was the absolute wraith like quality of the waiters, I remember finding my water glass filled and not having seen anyone fill it! Absolutely terrifying (in a good way).
This is one of my favorite, if not the favorite, videos you guys have made. Mike & Ben working together shows much more of the chemistry that makes you guys "Mates". Sure Pass it On videos are fun but this type of video is more inspiring. More please!!!
Love how the boys actually care about each other...it does come through all the leg-pulling.. Mike checking if Ben was having fun after he was hesitant at the beginning, to Ben applauding and cheering Mike's knife skills..to Ben immediately telling Mike not to touch the hot bowl and doing it himself...just lovely! Just cooking at home for 10 odd years have build my tolerance of heat in my hands.. imagine how a chef's hands would be!
Right. I've been needing this for so long, it's unreal: Pass it on, but the first person must choose a recipe or two from Le Répertoire de la Cuisine. 2020 will be so much funnier
Mike and Ben truly have some natural chemistry and making a video that mildly challenges and intrigues Ben just makes for something easy and entertaining to watch. Another great one lads!
i love this video! no James therefore no negative and sarcastics comments. Ben and Mike is the best pair ever. they compliment each other. the other boys always make fun of Ben. always pair Ben and Mike together.
"I'm a mothershucker" 😂Also, of course, I would love to see more not normal normals humiliated by Ben! 😛It was a lovely episode with all the rechopping and hot dish touching 😉
I can't be the only one who really wants to see them make the big mac (Side note: Totally agree with Ben's comment that the boys can't really be called "normals" anymore, they've definitely become much more skilled than the average person over the years they've been doing this.)

Ben: “it just could not be further from the food I enjoy cooking”....... also Ben: makes the dish perfectly and shows off his chefy knife skills
Cooking the tapioca did not seem too far from risotto
Is it just me that thinks of this sort of dish as more appropriate to James, eg. pretentious and never happy?

"I'm a mothershucker" 😂Also, of course, I would love to see more not normal normals humiliated by Ben! 😛It was a lovely episode with all the rechopping and hot dish touching 😉
I can't be the only one who really wants to see them make the big mac
(Side note: Totally agree with Ben's comment that the boys can't really be called "normals" anymore, they've definitely become much more skilled than the average person over the years they've been doing this.)
When Ben said “you guys are far from normal now” I got in my feels. That was so sweet
Jamie looks like more of a nerd than Ben after misplacing his beard.
I like how confident Jamie is. Inspiration.
Food: honestly, i can't enjoy food if it's not fulfilling. Tho i don't need much.
the entire comment section: **Jamie without beard**

Yes. And?
Ben is such a precious creature that we must protect at all costs.
‘Every learning experience is fun, Michael’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Mike’s reaction 😂😂
