Would love to see a "food rescue" badge, give them a couple of serves that are too salty, sugary and/or acidic and they have to balance them out, make sure it includes something that has split or is unrecoverable so they can learn that sometimes its best to just start again
Gotta love both Jamie's and Mike's faces as Ben revealed he rescinded a badge! First reaction: "Oh shit, Barry lost a badge!" Second reaction: "Oh shit, Ben can revoke badges..."
And the thing is, he's been part of the channel to know that if your mayo is runny but not separated, it's because you haven't added enough oil. He just straight up faffed it.
Kitchen etiquette. When to turn hobs and the oven on or off, keeping all your knives, plates and bowls in order, washing things you used, cleaning surfaces.
You should give all the normals a food hygiene badge and confiscate it whenever they cross contaminate. It'd be quite funny to see these being handed out and taken away throughout the journey.
I've honestly been impressed by Jamie's performance since last year. He has definitely improved, and become more organised and precise. It's a stark contrast to the early days when Jamie in kitchen meant chaos, it still means chaos but just more controlled chaos
Jamie's basic photography badge win will probably forever be my favourite moment of this entire chef skills challenge series. Sound of Silence duet is a close second.
Jamie still flops in most "Pass It On"s, but when he has full control and a bit more time to prepare things, he is almost always a close contender for first place, he's become pretty good :D
I reckon he's matured a bit, in a really good way. His "bit of a lad" shtick often used to come across (to me anyway) more as just mean and unnecessarily disruptive. Now it's fun and entertaining. Maybe fatherhood has been a good influence?
Jamie’s gone from being the kind of chaos where someone more likely than not going to end up bloody to the kind of chaos where he’s probably just going to derail a Pass It On idea.
It's easy to forget just what good musicians Mike and Jamie are. That was the kind of effortless blending that only really good mates can just snap into.
I love this format - having the normals complete skills surrounding a topic, “chicken”, and getting badges involved in each step. Best video in the badge series yet!
Something along the lines of a Timing badge. Being able to cook things without using a timer. Chicken, pasta, etc. You have to know how to tell it's done, without the crutch of a clock. As others have said - very impressed with Jaime in these challenges. He's really stepped up. Mike is starting to as well.
This was brilliant, Mike and Jamie's reaction to Barry losing a badge and not getting one was priceless, and the Sound of Silence at the end surprised me with how well done it was, and Barry's reaction to it made me chuckle.
19:42 When Ben revealed Barry had lost a badge, I love how Jamie’s FIRST reaction was horror FOR Barry, in sympathy. He knew how gutted Barry would be. It’s cool that, even though these three boys are competitive, they still genuinely care about each other. (And yes, I’m sure it very quickly occurred to him afterwards to feel horror for *himself*, as he realised all his badges have the potential to be similarly rescinded. But in that first moment, it was all sympathy for Baz.) Edited to add: Haha, it didn’t stop Mike and Jamie from roasting Barry at the end though. “Is there a ‘How to following instructions’ badge that maybe you could go for?”
I just want to say this was the most relaxed I've seen Jamie in a while in the kitchen. He did such a fantastic job and has really improved so much!!! Also I think one of the badges should be the ABCs of fruits and veggies and they have to identify them in dishes, visually, or blind test
@@graphenaishata7960 oh yes that's absolutely true. I wish there was a way to help someone who is color blind to know which veggies are which. Like guides at stores for example
@@katy4523, the only produce I can think of that tastes different based on color is apples, and they are labeled by varieties. Even grapes don't taste much different by color. Bell peppers do, but they are labeled by color and green peppers are much cheaper so you could go by that.
Blind tasting would be interesting, since most veggies in a dish are not there to stand out, but to blend in and harmonize with the rest of the dish. They'd really have to work for that one.
12:04 Barry reacting like Ben's a parent whose taken his phone away from him for a few days or something is just hilarious but also a little heartbreaking lol
@@SortedFood God I've not laughed this hard since last time Barry suffered. Am I a bad person for taking pleasure in Barry's suffering? Probably. But its still hilarious.
@@OfficialZoone16 He can make mayo in another challenge/battle and get the badge. I hope he tries, but I don't think he'll be able to get the spice badge back in a normal challenge.
After witnessing Jamie's and Mike's stunning singing skills: I'd like a "cooking sing along" batch, chef Ebbers included in the competition this time. 😊 Maybe with a guest with actual singing skills who can award them - and then compete in a cook off in return? Something along those lines would be great. 🥳
I feel like they should have it, but not announce what the badge is (its like a secret extra badge to earn during a video where they're earning a different badge)
I think this may have genuinely been my absolute FAVOURITE episode - I was howling at points (mainly at Barry - #SorryNotSorry). The bit where Ben took away his Spiceology Badge!!! Priceless and Go Ben! Love the firmness #BennuendosRule
Actually the photography badge was unfair. It wasnt about photography, it was about the dish. It should have been the same dish for all 3 of them, then make the best picture.
@@wernerlindorfer3693 not really. it was BASIC Photography. Barry took it too professional and didnt make the dish look good. He cared more about the background and the stuff around (also his angle made the dish look far worse then it was).
@@wernerlindorfer3693 You have to keep in mind that this is a food channel for cooking. So you have to make photogenic food and then take a good picture of it. He did neither of those things.
The improvement in Jamie in the past few years honestly gives me hope that I can get my life together and finally learn how to fry an egg to perfection!
Want my fool proof method? Oil up a nonstick pan, crack your eggs in, put it on a cold element/hob/burner (whatever you want to call it), cover with a lid of some sort, turn the heat on to medium high. Eventually you'll hear some crackles and popping and that's when you check your egg. Cover with lid and leave on for a few more seconds at a time to desired doneness. The gradual increasing heat will help cook the whites thoroughly, the lid will help it cook from the top as well, and the yolks will remain completely runny.
What I do is this: Cooking spray in a nonstick pan, flame on high, crack the eggs into a bowl and then pour them into the hot pan. Cover for 30 seconds or until the outer white is set. Throw an ice chip OR a tablespoon of cold water in the pan and cover for 15-30 seconds, until yolks are just clouded over. Yolk should be runny and perfect for dipping. Learned this steaming trick by watching DDD. Thank you, Guy Fieri.
On the chef skill challenges, I'd love to see Ben do the challenges at the beginning so it's easy to see what "Right looks like" for when the normals make their attempts
Massive props on the move with rescinding the spice badge. Honestly thought it was a massive mistake when Barry got it and was obviously just wildly guessing. This whole thing should be about improved lasting knowledge and that move today was a great nod to that. Also great episode. Jamie has made a massive improvement over the years especially.
I think you missed out an important bit in this video - how to salvage Barry's failed mayo. How to identify when it's failing, why it's failing, and if it's beyond salvaging.
If I were to venture a guess, it might be that he added the oil too quickly - in the initial phase you have to add oil in tiny quantities or very very slowly to start the emulsification(?)
To save it, he has to start with a new egg and a bit of mustard in a clean bowl, whisk that egg constantly while drizzling a tiny bit of the split mixture in at a time (basically doing a new mayonnaise with the split mixture as the oil part). Or he could leave it still until it splits completely and then blitz it again with a stick blender. The fully separated mixture will whiz up, but simply blitzing the egg into the half-split mixture would not work - I had the experience when I made my first mayonnaise. Agreed with the comment above about him probably adding oil too fast, it was what happened with my first mayo.
@@rulitossimplyrulitos1088 Yes, though it's really important to have clear instruction on how to do it. I used 2-3 eggs in the first day trying to blitz it into my split mayo like some people suggest ("Just beat in another egg" they said!) - definitely full of shit haha. Was very worried that the half cup of EVOO I put in it would go to waste. But then the starting again with a new egg in a new bowl and slowly drizzle in works like a charm!
This could actually be one of the best "comedy short films" I have ever seen and the twist with what happened near the end was hilarious but also informative.
Food waste badge: must know whether ingredients are perfectly fresh, still good in some applications, or compost. Must also know which parts of a whole ingredient are edible and how to use them. #sortedchefskills
Best episode ever!! Sincere focus from the boys. Skills truly tested. Barry realizing he might want to step it up a bit. Then ending with an amazing harmony. Thanks, gentlemen. Truly made my night.
He has always been top tier, but the boys just keep gaslighting him into not believing it because he's goofy..... and the international incident he caused.
Where the hell did that perfect harmony come from?! Where have Jamie and Mike been hiding that talent? More importantly, WHY have they been hiding that talent?!?!
Somewhere in the background Janice is probably going "oh dear oh dear!" at Barry's plight. Maybe somebody best lends Barry a copy of the book Science of Spice!
@@Serendipity.fff8e7 very good question: here's an answer: "Selon Escoffier, il existe cinq sauces fondamentales, qui sont des sauces « mères » qui servent de base à toutes les petites sauces composées : la sauce béchamel, ou reine des sauces ; à base de lait épaissi par un roux blanc. la sauce espagnole ou sauce brune ; obtenue par réduction d'un jus brun lié par un roux brun la sauce velouté, où le jus est un fond blanc lié par un roux aussi blanc que possible ; la sauce rouge "tomate" ; généralement à base de tomate, des carottes, des oignons, de l'ail, du beurre et de la farine, ainsi que de la poitrine de porc et du bouillon de veau. la sauce mayonnaise ; mélange d'huile, de jaune d'œuf et d'un acide, soit du vinaigre, soit du jus de citron. A la suite d'une traduction anglaise du livre de référence d'Escoffier, Le Guide Culinaire par William Heinemann en 1907 intitulée "A Guide to Modern Cookery by Escoffier"[8], la sauce hollandaise remplace la mayonnaise dans la liste des sauces mères et est depuis considérée comme telle à l'inverse de l'intention initiale d'Escoffier." TLDR: Escoffier said five mother sauces. Mayonnaise is one of them, the four others are bechamel, tomato sauce, velouté and brown sauce. Hollandaise is a translation error.
Jaime is really impressing me. He continues to give solid and, sometimes, inspired skill presentations. I think he's going to win the year. Mike has really improved. If "most improved" qualified for a win, I'd say Mike has that nailed. Barry...bless his heart. He lets his ego and bravado run away from him. He shows some strong skills but always ends up falling down if the slightest thing goes wrong. If he loses the bravado and can roll with the punches, he could upset everything and take the win.
First off I would like to say Mike and Jamie harmonized beautifully in the outro and I eagerly await them to drop thier 1st album. Secondly, Mike faces when Barry got mad at the end was absolutely pricless. Keep the amazing content coming and I cannot wait to see who eventually wins the badges competition.
Would love a chef skills challenge about allergies and or food preferences!! Like the boys get a recipe and then they need to make substitutions to make it gluten free/lactose free/vegan etc. It’s such an important skill for normals as well, hopefully this year can bring some more dinner parties! 🙏
Barry, I am no one of particular import, so this should mean absolutely nothing to you, but I am so, so sorry how much I laughed throughout this episode at your expense. I have not half the skills in the kitchen as you have which means I have no right to cackle condescendingly as I did. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in all future Chef Skills Challenges. 😂😂😂
I love Mike's "You took it away for the fir- What?" after getting the news. I guess they didn't know Ben had the power to take away badges until now (I don't remember if Ben or James ever took away badges before).
Mike and Jamie harmonizing at the end was just amazing. Also, their reaction to Barry losing a badge was like a child who realized their parent wasn't kidding about a punishment. lol
From the schadenfreude over Barry's loss, to the shock/realization that they too could potentially lose badges, to the confusion and hilarity that Barry didn't know what goes in Dukkah, and full circle to schadenfreude again. The range of emotions was *chef's kiss*
Ben last week: "I think Barry knows who is handing out badges the rest of the year" Ben this week: "I think I'm going to take away badges from Barry the rest of the year" Barry, you played yourself.
This episode has so much in it, Mike and Jamie have improved so much, Barry losing a badge (and the justification thereof) was hilarious, but that Sound of Silence at the end was amazing, need a full version
Idea for another badge : Vegan/Vegetarian food! Would be interesting to see what our Normals come up with all while using fresh produce and everyday ingredients.
When Barry tried to impress Ben with Dukkah and it fired back. Then Mike and Jamie listing all the spices correctly. Poor guy. Their faces when they learned he tried to add lavender tho. haha
Oh man, Jamie seems so in control lately. I think he'll take it all honestly. He continues to show us he has the knowledge and does remember things. Yes, he gets flustered in Pass it on. He might not have the most creative mind out of the 3 normies but gods is this man consistent on bringing it to the table
I agree and for a chef skills challenge I think that's the most important thing. Unless you're a development chef consistently getting good results is more important than coming up with crazy things.
I made a comment on the last video that said "I want to see the chef do the skill or tell us about it and then show the normals doing it so we can see where the gap is". And they did that in this video! It was a huge help to see what the "standard" is to see how well the normals do and to also learn how to do it properly. Keep being awesome guys!
Mike and Jamie's rendition of Sound of Silence at the end was surprisingly well harmonized.
I miss hearing them sing!
So good!
@@poisonzombii yes same! Mike and Jamie are really good singers and match each other really quite well 😁
yeah it sounded really beautiful
The boys got way more talents other than cooking
Would love to see a "food rescue" badge, give them a couple of serves that are too salty, sugary and/or acidic and they have to balance them out, make sure it includes something that has split or is unrecoverable so they can learn that sometimes its best to just start again
Yesss @sortedfood been thinking it would be nice to see rescue tips from you and I think the advice would be great
Yessss this needs to happen!
Yes! I love food rescues since I seen them on How To Cook That channel.
This would actually be so useful
This would be really good
Gotta love both Jamie's and Mike's faces as Ben revealed he rescinded a badge!
First reaction: "Oh shit, Barry lost a badge!"
Second reaction: "Oh shit, Ben can revoke badges..."
It's my favorite moment in the entire video!! Mike looks so innocent!
Came here to say this 😂
Barry shouting "EMULSIFY" like he's trying to cast a spell in Harry Potter was pretty wonderful
And the thing is, he's been part of the channel to know that if your mayo is runny but not separated, it's because you haven't added enough oil. He just straight up faffed it.
It's EMUL-sify, not emulsi-FY!
This comment has stuck in my mind - whenever i see the thumbnail for this video on my fyp, this is what i think about the most 😂
yeah, but the thing is, Barry is being a Lockhart.
It didn't work because the spell is "emulsifyamus" emphasis on the emulsifYAMus" in order to be effective.
Barry should get the chance to get a “Hob” badge if he’s actually turning it off. Just don’t let him know.
You think he can keep a badge like that? xD
Kitchen etiquette.
When to turn hobs and the oven on or off, keeping all your knives, plates and bowls in order, washing things you used, cleaning surfaces.
Barry should lose the knife skills badge if he has it "get your hand underneath the bird" and then cut down towards your fingers...
Oooo “kitchen safety badge”
@@erinhenry6642 That's something that they'd all get rescinded by end of the year. 🤣 XD
You should give all the normals a food hygiene badge and confiscate it whenever they cross contaminate. It'd be quite funny to see these being handed out and taken away throughout the journey.
lol that would be so good xD This badge would be confiscated so many times.
I support having this badge added in!
Yessss!
They never remove their rings..so, they would lose them before they event started.
I support this!

Okay, can we please get a full recording of Mike and Jamie's rendition of Sound of Silence please?
I know, right? They sounded good! LOL!
Please!!
yes, that was awesome!
Yes that was epic.
Legit 😂 I’d like to add it to my Spotify playlist
Ben: "We're cutting these into goujons, long strips, different from nuggets."
Barry: *disbelief* "What?!"
Yes but it was the 2 second pause as his brain slowly registered what Ben had said and then the "what" that had me rolling🤣
"you should lose your self respect badge" made me laugh a lot, brilliant
Legit, the Mike/Jamie harmony at the end with the "Hello darkness my old friend" was beautiful, not even gonna lie.
Fabulous! I loved it!
A capella - Sorted!
I kinda wanna hear them do the whole thing now.
It's easy to forget just what good musicians Mike and Jamie are. That was the kind of effortless blending that only really good mates can just snap into.
Is there harmonies badge, because that was actually perfect Simon and Garfunkel!
I agree
OMG I'm so glad someone already pointed this out! That was so impressive!!!
I was thinking the same thing! Now I want to hear a full version!
Same!! Jamie and Mike sound of silence duet!!
Isnt mike the funniest
Lol, Mike listing the ingridients and Jamie just saying "salt, pepper"
LOL I noticed that too
He said one of the other ingredients with Mike at the same time too.
THIS KILLED ME HAHAHA
to be fair, not all spice blends have salt and pepper
He also said kumin with him
I can't be the only one who is still repeatedly listening to Mike and Jamie harmoniously singing The Sound Of Silence!!
Haha, we're glad you love it so much!
@@SortedFood I'm back after a year and that's still impressive. Also, nowadays it's "Hello darkness my old friend, now you're here at 5PM"
Nope, I come back to this over and over for the singing bit.
@@SortedFood they should get the close harmony badge
@@SortedFood I'm still waiting on them to record a full version.

Flick and swish!
With Hermione telling him "It's EmUlsify, not EmulsifY"
I'll be bellowing this at my mayonnaise on the regular from now
If it’s Barry Potter, it has to be Hermikony
Never have I "oof'ed" more than I did when Barry lost his spice badge
It’s a bit awks 😬
Shouldn't that be Ouf?
To be fair, Barry didn't know dukkah when getting the spice badge, it's one of the ones he missed.
@@kaldogorath Yeah but like Ben said the Badges are about constant learning and he was expecting them to study the spices the got wrong in that video.

"Hello dukkah, my old friend... I've come to learn your blend again..."

Also jamie would have a hard time on identifying fruits based on visual, since he is colorblind xS

Me in my head finishing the sentence for him: "I've never poached an egg... successfully"
In a glass bowl/large mug 1/2 cup of water, add egg, microwave 1 min....job done :)
I didn't even know you could poach an egg
I actually like that last idea…. A “follow directions” badge!
"Able to follow a recipe" badge maybe? Like, understanding terms, reading ahead, etc.

Give them whole rhubarb, and have the paramedics on standby
@@RobinHood3000 I read that rhubarb leaves are toxic, is it true then?
Baz: you won’t take away my badge
Ben: won’t I?
Baz: you won’t.
*Badge revoked*
Best episode ever!! Sincere focus from the boys. Skills truly tested. Barry realizing he might want to step it up a bit. Then ending with an amazing harmony. Thanks, gentlemen. Truly made my night.
Jamie has always been my favorite and to see how far his skills have come is amazing.... Good job Jamie!
“I thought Goujon was FRENCH for Nuggets.” - Barry James Taylor, 2021.
Confession: I didn’t know it either. 😂
Hilarious huh 😂
@@SortedFood Do people in the UK just normally call a lot of stuff by French names? I think we would just call those chicken strips in the US.
I've legit never heard them called that before, and you can look at my name to guess my first language.
@@ReaperUnreal Interesting.
He should lose the basic French badge too
Poor Barry lol. But respect to Ebbers for holding them to a standard.
hes doing good. I love his merciless Professionalism in these challenges. Makes these far more entertaining and educational for me at least :D
Jamie in the past year has ascended to top tier normal I swear! Literally just needs to nail plating now.
And even that he's gotten really good at, considering.
He has always been top tier, but the boys just keep gaslighting him into not believing it because he's goofy..... and the international incident he caused.
@@caseofrapier and the comment section constantly putting him down because Mike doesn’t win....
You mean Mike.
Where the hell did that perfect harmony come from?! Where have Jamie and Mike been hiding that talent? More importantly, WHY have they been hiding that talent?!?!
Somewhere in the background Janice is probably going "oh dear oh dear!" at Barry's plight. Maybe somebody best lends Barry a copy of the book Science of Spice!
There should definitely be a “Mother Sauces” badge displaying knowledge of all the mother sauces
That one will be just for our entertainment because we know those guys haven't a clue.
we going Hollendaise or Mayo version of mother sauces?
if only to hear the bois say 'velooooute' again
@@Serendipity.fff8e7 we've had both a mayo and holindaise badge, so the point is moot.
@@Serendipity.fff8e7 very good question: here's an answer:
"Selon Escoffier, il existe cinq sauces fondamentales, qui sont des sauces « mères » qui servent de base à toutes les petites sauces composées :
la sauce béchamel, ou reine des sauces ; à base de lait épaissi par un roux blanc.
la sauce espagnole ou sauce brune ; obtenue par réduction d'un jus brun lié par un roux brun
la sauce velouté, où le jus est un fond blanc lié par un roux aussi blanc que possible ;
la sauce rouge "tomate" ; généralement à base de tomate, des carottes, des oignons, de l'ail, du beurre et de la farine, ainsi que de la poitrine de porc et du bouillon de veau.
la sauce mayonnaise ; mélange d'huile, de jaune d'œuf et d'un acide, soit du vinaigre, soit du jus de citron.
A la suite d'une traduction anglaise du livre de référence d'Escoffier, Le Guide Culinaire par William Heinemann en 1907 intitulée "A Guide to Modern Cookery by Escoffier"[8], la sauce hollandaise remplace la mayonnaise dans la liste des sauces mères et est depuis considérée comme telle à l'inverse de l'intention initiale d'Escoffier."
TLDR: Escoffier said five mother sauces. Mayonnaise is one of them, the four others are bechamel, tomato sauce, velouté and brown sauce. Hollandaise is a translation error.
"I took the bone out."
"Oh, excellent. I didn't even ask. _He boned a thigh._ "
Mate-
He de-boned a thigh...
Boneless thighs are actually super popular in the food world.
@@heididavison816 that is not what the Bennuendo master said :D
Jaime is really impressing me. He continues to give solid and, sometimes, inspired skill presentations. I think he's going to win the year. Mike has really improved. If "most improved" qualified for a win, I'd say Mike has that nailed. Barry...bless his heart. He lets his ego and bravado run away from him. He shows some strong skills but always ends up falling down if the slightest thing goes wrong. If he loses the bravado and can roll with the punches, he could upset everything and take the win.
Yeah, he needs to get ro a point where a bump in the road doesn't send him into a tailspin.
You need to be on the show to be an commentator with your description skills.
Barry needs to not fucking try shit he's never done before in a SKILLS VIDEO!
That extra clip of Jamie and Mike singing to Barry *chef’s kiss*
Also Mike acting like a kid at a candy shop at Barry losing a badge 🤣🤣🤣
First off I would like to say Mike and Jamie harmonized beautifully in the outro and I eagerly await them to drop thier 1st album. Secondly, Mike faces when Barry got mad at the end was absolutely pricless. Keep the amazing content coming and I cannot wait to see who eventually wins the badges competition.
Mike and Jamie with that harmony definitely badges there.
I miss them singing
, my favourite was the Disney battle
Would love a chef skills challenge about allergies and or food preferences!! Like the boys get a recipe and then they need to make substitutions to make it gluten free/lactose free/vegan etc. It’s such an important skill for normals as well, hopefully this year can bring some more dinner parties! 🙏
Barry, I am no one of particular import, so this should mean absolutely nothing to you, but I am so, so sorry how much I laughed throughout this episode at your expense. I have not half the skills in the kitchen as you have which means I have no right to cackle condescendingly as I did. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in all future Chef Skills Challenges. 😂😂😂
This was one of my favorite videos. I'm afraid I've been binge-wathcing lately :)
i loved mike and jamie's harmonizationism hahaha please do a full version! seriously!
Just when I was looking for something to watch, Sorted came through!
Love it when that happens - enjoy!
Yeah they sorted you out
Same 🥰🥰
So true
@@caveminer2789 😂
J and Mike being shocked at the news of the badge loss was everything.
I love Mike's "You took it away for the fir- What?" after getting the news. I guess they didn't know Ben had the power to take away badges until now (I don't remember if Ben or James ever took away badges before).
The irony of Ben judging the egg skills when he once failed to boil an egg is frankly hilarious.
I was thinking of that when he started up.
I agree with Ben taking Barry’s spice badge away.
This is the whole idea.
I love this series so much
Mike and Jamie harmonizing at the end was just amazing. Also, their reaction to Barry losing a badge was like a child who realized their parent wasn't kidding about a punishment. lol
Their faces as Ben announces Barry's lost badge XD
From the schadenfreude over Barry's loss, to the shock/realization that they too could potentially lose badges, to the confusion and hilarity that Barry didn't know what goes in Dukkah, and full circle to schadenfreude again. The range of emotions was *chef's kiss*
Oh, yes their faces showed all the emotion.
20:05 Jamie trying to join in knowing what's in dukka but only managing "SALT" and "PEPPER" 😂
To be fair, he did say Cumin at the same time as Mike
I wonder why he didn't get his badge taken away for that random misstep.
@@ComradeAlpharius he didn't win the spiceology badge, Barry did 😂
That "Hello darkness, my old friend" was absolutely amazing!
Watching Jamie's face while Barry's sauce is judged was such a journey. 😂
Oh, my goodness! On top of everything else, they can sing too??? That was LOVELY!
I loved Jamie looking so happy with himself about getting all the eggs correct.
Barry's utter despair made me smile, and I have never felt worse for laughing this hard in my life.
21:18 Jamie starting off with the harmony and then Mike joining in was cool as fuck!
I love the Harmony when they started singing in the End! SO NICE! GIVE US MORE!
Oh man, I was in tears after this episode! SO good!
Ben last week: "I think Barry knows who is handing out badges the rest of the year"
Ben this week: "I think I'm going to take away badges from Barry the rest of the year"
Barry, you played yourself.
#barrygotscrewed
This episode has so much in it, Mike and Jamie have improved so much, Barry losing a badge (and the justification thereof) was hilarious, but that Sound of Silence at the end was amazing, need a full version
Idea for another badge : Vegan/Vegetarian food! Would be interesting to see what our Normals come up with all while using fresh produce and everyday ingredients.
This is a great idea - thank you!
That sounds great! Although Jamie might some trouble with that challenge
@@SortedFood there are soooo many vegan recipes in the middle eastern cuisine which the normals could take inspiration from 👍
Seconded!
@@SortedFood To add a creativity badge, have them veganize an otherwise non-vegan dish. So, like make a vegan pizza, or make a vegetarian burger.
That was so funny. I really enjoy your channel guys. Excellent!
The shade in this episode is fantastic. I giggled along,; reminded of being around my siblings and being competitive about everything.
I insist that jamie and mike do a full acapella cover of Sound of Silence. That harmony at the end was AMAZING LIKE WHAT
“I’ve got to put it back”
“No”
Jamie got Chef Lanlard'ed again!
We NEED a full cover by Mike and Jamie of “Hello darkness my old friend”
It’s called Sounds of Silence, by Simon and Garfunkel
@@Tom-vx5eq what the fuck are you on about
@@australianwi-fi Precision in speech is important! There are a lot of common ways that people screw up, and Tom mentioned a few of them.
@@nickpels5772 you must be fun at parties
@@nickpels5772 It's called 'The Sound of Silence'...
When Barry tried to impress Ben with Dukkah and it fired back. Then Mike and Jamie listing all the spices correctly. Poor guy.
Their faces when they learned he tried to add lavender tho. haha
The harmony between Mike and Jamie at the end singing "Sound of Silence" was lovely!
Oh man, Jamie seems so in control lately. I think he'll take it all honestly. He continues to show us he has the knowledge and does remember things. Yes, he gets flustered in Pass it on. He might not have the most creative mind out of the 3 normies but gods is this man consistent on bringing it to the table
I agree and for a chef skills challenge I think that's the most important thing. Unless you're a development chef consistently getting good results is more important than coming up with crazy things.
Yes! Completely agree!
I love how you took “kitchen hygiene badge” suggestion very seriously
I made a comment on the last video that said "I want to see the chef do the skill or tell us about it and then show the normals doing it so we can see where the gap is". And they did that in this video! It was a huge help to see what the "standard" is to see how well the normals do and to also learn how to do it properly. Keep being awesome guys!
I just love Sorted so much. I just smile through the entire video no matter what it’s about 😊 Congrats boys! You’re all less than normal!
