Yeah. They kept saying movie snacks, instead of 'movie theater snacks'. But there were... inconsistencies in their logic? If you're having a movie at home, you can keep the lights on, you can turn it up, you can clean up a mess, you can pause it, so there's no time rush. So a snack can be messy or loud. But if you're in a theater, then you need your snacks quick and ready-made, which none of theirs really could be.

Jamie: popcorn but way messier Barry: hot dog but way messier Mike: nachos but quieter Only one of them actually improved the movie snack as a movie snack! Improving flavor and texture is one thing, but that's not the only thing you have to consider. In the US, on-the-go food is extremely important. We didn't invent sausages but we made them edible while you're walking down the street. We didn't invent burger patties, but we invented taking them with you. We didn't invent ice cream, but we invented the ice cream cone, so you could take ice cream with you without a bowl and spoon to carry - you can eat the "bowl"! Barry's dog looks like it tastes great, but as Ben says you almost need to eat it with a knife and fork. That goes against the entire point of a hot dog. You can easily lose the bun and replace it with something else if you don't need the portability, and you can't port this so the bun is extraneous. Jamie's popcorn shake, I mean, I love Jamie, I mostly want him to win, but not today. I was so confused by what he was putting together. Buttered popcorn, or even caramel corn, you can eat and then use a napkin to clean your hand and you're 95% good. Chocolate? FRESH caramel? I can only imagine how sticky your hands are getting. And situated on top of a glass of blended popcorn is a very odd choice. It seems so difficult to properly eat. Mike's waffle nachos are great. Nachos are great, waffles are great. I don't like ordering nachos in a theater because they tend to be messy and louder than most other things. You get the flavors of American style nachos with the flavored cheese sauce and the flavor of the chips with the waffles. A lot of us make nacho cheese with white American cheese btw, and at home it's really normal to toss in some single slice cheese for the emulsification effect - you can get that without the single cheese by using sodium citrate but most of us have the slices in the fridge already so it's easier. Anyway, I think I would miss the tortilla chip crunch but since this is for movie going, I think it's an all around improvement. Mike wins!
What a breakdown and I completely agree. Mike's was a fantastic way of making a noisy snack which makes me get angry at people who order it so much better!
Agreed. I like fancy sweet drinks so I am actually curious about Jamie's concoction, but I feel like it would require a spoon to scoop out the popcorn eventually! Wouldn't make for a good film-watching experience.
Sorry to bust your narrative but the US didn't even invent any of the 'to-go-methods' you mentioned. All of them were already known to Ancient Romans, Greeks and Phoenicians and a lot of other countries had food to go way before the USA even existed.
I would happily eat the waffle nachos and that hotdog. Not sure how I feel about a popcorn milkshake, but I would eat the chocolate and caramel corn on top
I mean, netflix and fill all the way, in so many ways. I love Ben's comments, he's a gem. I don't agree with his choice, simply because you want contained foods when watching in the dark and I'm such a fucking klutz that sauce is guaranteed to end up getting knocked and spilled.
I think Barry's hotdog takes it for me. I often get a pulled pork hotdog at the cinemas which looks very similar. That being said, I wouldn't call it a snack because it eats more like a meal.
That's why he can't win this one for me. It's just too far outside the brief. I'm sure it was amazing though, but it's not a movie snack. Plus my movie snacks always get shared, there's no sharing that one
Pretty sure everyone is a winner in this one… I don’t think Barry should be penalized for something that’s supposed to be messy. It all looks and sounds awesome!
Given it's supposed to be a movie snack, I think it's a fair criticism. As tasty as I'm sure it is, I'm pretty sure if I was trying to eat it in a movie theater seat half of it would end up in my lap.
I would gladly snack on any of those delicious looking goodies! I like the idea of all of them, but Mike's definitely fit the bill for a quiet, delicious, neat snack. Proud of Baz for getting his done ahead of time, and it looked and sounded amazing. Jamie's sounded delicious too, but I'm not sure I wouldn't have rather had the shake and the different popcorns separately. All in all a great day, and I loved all of the Bennuendos.
I really thought Barry had this. His is the one I'd most like to try! Also, he was the most calm, organized, and timely by far. Seems like that should count for more if you're prepping for a relaxing movie viewing.
"Ebbers, it's dark in the cinema." Brilliant! Hot take: I feel like Barry too often gets the short end of the stick... Even when he seems to do really well. I feel like Barry shoula won...
@@SortedFood Normally it would be bitesize things! Stuff like Mini Oven Pizzas, Mini Sausage Rolls, etc. or just simply crisps. I feel like you guys would be more than capable of making something more sophisticated 😂 but the challenge of creating something nice, but easy to eat whilst multitasking would be quite a fun challenge 😁
While Barrys might be a bit messier, he did add a lovely handheld tray to hold beneath you as you eat, avoiding any spills on you. I reckon Barry should've had that win.
At the beginning of this I thought all of them were being way to ambitious so I'm very impressed with Barry! it would be the one I would want to try the most. Mike I feel like would be a hard sell to general audience but would be real reasonable to serve in a theater as long as the cheese can be maid and just wait. making that whole thing at once would be a nightmare for employees Jamie's is the most reasonable one out of the lot for actual movie theater food as you can have all the different elements could be set up before hand and would take 5 minutes to make
And yet, Jaime's is the only one I'm not at all interested in trying. Too much fluff, I think. I agree with Ben (& you), that Barry's is the one I'd most like to eat (I mean, duck confit, come on! 🤤🤤), but it'd be so messy
@@MrNathansdad Barry's dish wold be something you might eat before you go in to the actual movie theatre. Or after you have seen the movie. Mikes I would love to try but see it more as something they would come up with in the more artsy film houses. That just want's to be different.
Ben, Ben , Ben there are cinemas where you can order a hamburger and have it brought to you before the movie starts. So the duck dog is not far fetched.
The DuckDog got third place! Was Ebbers New Years resolution to be crazy this year? That dog looked awesome. Should’ve been an easy first place for Barry.
It is a good dish. but not really a good idea in the actual cinema seat in the (semi) dark. it would be very messy. Good to use in like the restaurant or pub that goes with the cinema.
@@sirBrouwer I have to disagree with you here. I actually think the other two will cause a much bigger hassle and messiness to eat in the cinema. If the hotdog is served in the little basket like how it was presented here then the messiness would actually be very minimal and contained to the basket. Those waffles and the dipping sauce will absolutely go everywhere, and the milkshake is impossible to drink/eat with everything piled ontop of the milkshake like it is.
@@goldenghostinc That is such an unfair thing to say for this. You want the Barry's dish to win because of how it will be theoretically served in the cinemas? If that is the case, then you should think like that for the other dishes too. The waffles can have a whole paper cardboard bag with a pocket for the dip while the shake is just literally a shake with toppings.
@@goldenghostinc Barry's dish deserved third place because it's too messy to eat the regular way just like what Ben said and let's be honest here, most dishes that Barry excel with are food that looks and sounds elegant in theory but when done by him, it just turns... different. Not to mention that he is still not learning from all the tips that has been given to them by past guest chefs (this applies to all of them).
@@ArcusArgent I really can't agree with you here. Please read what I said about the other two dishes, and that in my opinion those are really much messier to eat in a movie theater.
I think Barry should've won this one. He was in control majority of the way if not all the way through making his dish. Incorporated lots of different cheats and hacks, and made a damn good movie snack. Especially with time to spare. That's just my two cents anyways this vid was amazing and fun to watch!
Me too. I didn't understand why it would have needed a knife or fork unless you wanted to share it with someone else but that wasn't the brief. Jamie's would have needed a couple of hours to clean the sofa, floor, hand prints etc. No way could you eat/drink it without making a mess all around.
Think Barry absolutely nailed it. Maybe not an in cinema snack, but grab it with a ticket, tuck in pre-theatre, and finish with the monster shake during the flick.
I know it’s a little thing, but the clasp on the lid of the Sage waffle maker is to stop the lid opening when you’re carrying it. The manual says specifically to *not* close the clasp when making waffles!
okay, so yes, it does require a knife and a fork, but the man made a duck ragout in ten minutes, was relaxed the whole time, and had the cleanest work space by the end. that deserves some recognition right there.
it's not just the food though - I've sat near too many people who picked the noisiest bag on the shelf and sit there rustling it the who effing film!! Basically any foiled-lined bags should be banned!! 😣
@@Laura_Norda haha. I totally get that! I once sat in a movie theater when someone dropped a bag of M&M’s during one of the saddest moments in the movie. The M&M’s rolled all the way down the different levels and made so much noice. It led up to half the people in the theater laughing and the other half being annoyed.
Lol, Ben regretting pushing Jamie to tell him what he was going to make 🤣 I got lost trying to follow what Jamie was saying.. Mike's dish has me most intrigued, so I'd give it the win too. Jamie's seems like it might be rather heavy, which would lead to a food coma.. don't want to end up sleeping during the movie! Barry's sounds good, but there isn't as big of a twist like with what Mike did.
This was a fun video! I want a Duck Confit and Ragu gourmet hot dog 🌭. A phrase you don’t hear every day. Barry’s dance 🕺 was great. Jamie was everywhere and entertaining as always. And Mike Wins with good bacteria laced green waffles served with a processed cheese like substance. Ebber’s narration and commentary were spot on. I never subscribe to more than 10 channels at any one time. Sorted is and has always been my #1 channel. Always a well made, well produced, entertaining and informative video and always fun 🤩. Great job 👏!
Give how organized Barry was, the cheats, hacks and ability to make a dish in minutes that should have taken hours, surely he earned some kind of badge? Clear winner for me, looked amazing.
Wow! Twice in a row I'm thinking Barry was robbed on that. I wouldn't want to try & eat in in a darkened cinema but the hacks for the 10 minute ragù should have won it for him, or at least definitely not last place. I usually end up liking what Jamie cooks but I thought it was the weakest this week; sorry Jamie. Mike's was good & he got to use that lovely SAGE waffle maker... I covet that machine.
Problem is your second sentence "you would'nt want it in a darkened cinema" - thats the point. As a food itself i agree, that the hotdog was by far the most appetizing (and i don't even like hot dogs that much). But i'd never eat that in a cinema. I'd make a mess all over. And the waffles actually looked like the ones that would be more fitting / less messy and still looking tasty (even though i think nachos are messy in a cinemy, especially if the cheese is already on top of it) I have no clue what jamie had in mind there. and i have no clue how he came second. Everything was a mess he made. Milkshake... okay i get that. but popcorn in it? How are you supposed to get the popcorn through your straw? Ah you need a spoon? Okay... ice spooning in a dark cinema... sounds... fun (not)
Absolutely the right choice for winner, even ticks the "not too noisy" box Ebbers said earlier, by taking the one noisy part of nachos and making it silent. Genius. :D
I think Barry was robbed there.Mike and Barry’s were even in my opinion.And I’ve never wanted a milkshake during a movie,let alone one with a ton of stuff on top that would be hard to eat in the dark.
SUPER EXCITED and much respect to Barry who has pivoted to a more Focus on the one thing you can nail, prioritize your time so you have more time to elevate, re-adjust, your meal strategy. I think he would have scored higher if they could try it at optimal temperature,
Barry was robbed!!! He definitely deserves some bonus points for having it done so quickly! However, maybe if it'd been done as like a mini version/smorgasbord so you can dip/construct as you go, but to have all that made in under 20 minutes, is incredible... especially considering Jamie only made a milkshake and popcorn 😉
Honestly, being from north America I was fully in Barry's court because chili dogs are theatre food- even if they are potentially messy and to say such sacrilege as 'needs a knife and fork' BAH - get good Ebbers. You just have to unhinge your jaw like a snake and devour the chili dog in two-three bites.
Agreed. I loved the video and their snacks looked really tasty, but I was hoping for something that I could bring out to share for movie night. Like something that could be made in a sheet pan.
@@lindarogers4297 I agree. I mean you could eat the hotdog for dinner before a movie night, watch a movie have the waffles as some kind of intermission snack, watch another movie, and finish the evening with the milkshake. Now that I write this out, this could actually be kinda good. But while watching movies I’d stick to normal nachos and popcorn
Barry's won for me. Wish I could have tasted it. Faced with the 3 options I would have chosen the hot dog. It looked so delicious that I want to run to the store for hot dogs now and I just did my weekly shopping yesterday. Heidi
For Barry's, to solve the mess problem, he could make tiny hotdogs (using pre-made tiny buns and less filling falling out. The big buns were pre-made, so why not tiny ones). Or some sort of hot dog dumpling or tiny burrito-wrapped dogs deep-fried. Also, about annoying the other people in the audience, I always find the nearby smell of the jalapeno fake nacho cheese sauce off-putting if I'm not the one eating it. If I had some too, it's fine, lol.
Or just include one or two wet wipes, my local burger shop does this and I never have messy hands or mouth after. Barry definitely deserved the win in my opinion.
@@GigaBoost Yeah, I had originally typed "hot dog bites" and accidentally deleted my comment, rather than sliders which would be bigger. I want them 1-2 bites. Sliders for me tend to be 3-4 (and I know for other big mouths they could be 1-2).
@@franklinnartz1381 It's not about messy hands for me, but getting it on my clothes (in the dark, watching a movie). Barry's sounded delicious, but the food team should have thought of that.
i agree with ben, the waffle nachos look like my sort of treat. the popcorn milkshake looks really good though, and for something similar with less effort, make your popcorn with cinnamon sugar and eat with ice cream.
I have to say I would give it to Barry, it was not too complicated, didn't take a lot of time, and he seemed the least stressed out of the 3. That in itself, would lend me to believe that would be the most enjoyable experience. Plus lets be honest the hotdog is no less messy than a bowl of nacho cheese with the waffle nacho thing.
I miss the chaos of the older battles where the guys were all in the kitchen together. The bickering and sabotage always made for an entertaining video. I think of the Harry Potter battle and the philly cheesecake battle as my all time favorites.
This seems more of a fusion challenge instead of movie snacks challenge. I wouldn't eat any of these dishes in a dark movie theater, but would be more than happy to try any of these dishes at a pub.
Gods, I needed that shot of Bennuendo today! It's cold and dreary where I am, and the giggle fit all of Ben's comments inspired made the day so much better.
Ben's changed a lot. From different moments in this episode he has successfully held back from fully making BENnuendos but has been suggestive instead lmao.
I was offended almost as much as Barry was when Ben mentioned eating the hot dog with a knife and fork. Barry absolutely should have won. Mike's Waffles lookeed good but lets face it... if you grind up corn chips you're basically just adding cornmeal, salt, and some oil to your waffle batter which isn't really crazy by any definition. Jamie's Milkshake is a mess, literally and just look at the glass >_> What was the actual plan when it came to eating it? Are you suppose to eat all the popcorn first off the top and then drink the half melted milkshake last? Are you suppose to try and suck up pieces of popcorn through a straw? Not that a milkshake is a great movie snack in the first place, what's a good snack that'll last me through the next 2 hours? A glass of ice cream and milk sounds good.
Barry's was the best. I'm not sure I would want popcorn blended up in to a shake, or soggy caramel popcorn. And I would rather just have nachos instead of nacho waffles. Then again ... I want to try them all.
My only critique on this episode so far is I feel like it should have been a multi-round battle: two mini-challenge, and one big show stopper. Round one: popcorn (20 minutes) Round two: beverages (10-15 minutes) Round three: Ultimate Movie Snack (45 minutes) An example from me would be: Round One: Upscale Chicago Mix (mix of caramel corn and cheese popcorn) Round Two: Irish/Kentucky Mule Slushy Round Three: Steak Frite Nachos with au poivre cheese sauce
Barry "less is more, unless it is a confit duck rago hot dog" and walking away early. The cost of a ticket at the cinema now one should expect a confit duck rago hot dog! Mike "gradually stir with one slice of cheese at a time" then sod it, running out of time and stuffing in a whole pack. Jamie "should have left one hand clean"........... insert Jamie reading Ben's mucky mind and saying what we were all thinking. Awesome battle start for 2022.
I have to agree with Ben. I would definitely choose Mike's movie snack. Barry's looks yummy, but also pretty messy. Jamie's idea was a great one, but that amount of sugar would put me into permanent orbit!
Ben roasting the normals is all I needed on this afternoon.
You can tell he had some genuine fun watching the normals messing about in the kitchen.
The look on Barry's face. ""Oh. You've actually started it!" Then the pride at an early finish and the shock at being last. All of the emotions.
Verily the craziest emotional roller coaster ride. Poor Baz.

A lot of us make nacho cheese with white American cheese btw, and at home it's really normal to toss in some single slice cheese for the emulsification effect - you can get that without the single cheese by using sodium citrate but most of us have the slices in the fridge already so it's easier. Anyway, I think I would miss the tortilla chip crunch but since this is for movie going, I think it's an all around improvement.
Mike wins!
Jeez, julius pepperwood from Chicago… novel much?
What a breakdown and I completely agree. Mike's was a fantastic way of making a noisy snack which makes me get angry at people who order it so much better!
Agreed. I like fancy sweet drinks so I am actually curious about Jamie's concoction, but I feel like it would require a spoon to scoop out the popcorn eventually! Wouldn't make for a good film-watching experience.
Mike basically made the notoriously known "Doritos for women" :D
Sorry to bust your narrative but the US didn't even invent any of the 'to-go-methods' you mentioned. All of them were already known to Ancient Romans, Greeks and Phoenicians and a lot of other countries had food to go way before the USA even existed.
I would happily eat the waffle nachos and that hotdog. Not sure how I feel about a popcorn milkshake, but I would eat the chocolate and caramel corn on top
Barry’s Scoville Scale has “Woah-aah” and “Ooh dear” as a factor. That’s fascinating 😂
My scoville scale is mmm, oh that's hot, *every expliteve under the sun*
Don't forget "that's a warm one" and "I'm not good with that" 😂
Ben's facial expressions and his laugh give me so much joy. I can't explain why 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly, this episode was actually full of Ben's laughs and joyfull time. I adore him
This one started so awkwardly and Ben's facial expression most of the time was great and so sassy.
I mean, netflix and fill all the way, in so many ways. I love Ben's comments, he's a gem. I don't agree with his choice, simply because you want contained foods when watching in the dark and I'm such a fucking klutz that sauce is guaranteed to end up getting knocked and spilled.
Jamie arguably having the most simple recipe yet he's moving about like an absolute nutter had me in stitches lmaooo
I think Barry's hotdog takes it for me. I often get a pulled pork hotdog at the cinemas which looks very similar. That being said, I wouldn't call it a snack because it eats more like a meal.
That's why he can't win this one for me. It's just too far outside the brief. I'm sure it was amazing though, but it's not a movie snack. Plus my movie snacks always get shared, there's no sharing that one
i mean isnt every snack a meal if you have enough of it...
Pretty sure everyone is a winner in this one… I don’t think Barry should be penalized for something that’s supposed to be messy. It all looks and sounds awesome!
Given it's supposed to be a movie snack, I think it's a fair criticism. As tasty as I'm sure it is, I'm pretty sure if I was trying to eat it in a movie theater seat half of it would end up in my lap.
@@scottmcintyre2809 isnt that the case with the freak shake too though, like no doubt that popcorn is gonna fall.
But mike is always unconventional, he comes up with random sht that just happens to work. The others just go with twists
@@jemma-joon who is mark?
@@mitchystuff no more than any other popcorn if you built it a bit more reasonably.
I would gladly snack on any of those delicious looking goodies! I like the idea of all of them, but Mike's definitely fit the bill for a quiet, delicious, neat snack.
Proud of Baz for getting his done ahead of time, and it looked and sounded amazing.
Jamie's sounded delicious too, but I'm not sure I wouldn't have rather had the shake and the different popcorns separately.
All in all a great day, and I loved all of the Bennuendos.
I really thought Barry had this. His is the one I'd most like to try! Also, he was the most calm, organized, and timely by far. Seems like that should count for more if you're prepping for a relaxing movie viewing.
So fun! The sass and the bleeps had me laughing so hard.
So glad you liked it Jan, thanks for watching!
I don’t know how Mike always seems to choose the exact food I would prefer every time he cooks. Great minds think alike apparently
Minds certainly. Just kidding, it seems like a delicious idea.
Wait what? That was a clear win for Barry
Another fusion food challenge would be awesome! The one where the guys picked different cuisines out of a hat was epic.
nachos have to be my favourite, and i love a waffle, so mikes dish is sounding out of this world
Of the three, Barry just seems the most unflapped: cheffy. Easily the winner.
But it's not realistic for eating while in the theatre. Ben's right. It was great but not easily edible while in a theatre.
Cheffily
Jamie writing a cookbook be like:
- Oil
- Pan
- Hot
- Shimmer x 4
I can't be the only one who automatically read that in a Gordon Ramsay voice
@@yoyopo8487 No, that would be like: Olive oil. In. (Camera zooms in.)
"Ebbers, it's dark in the cinema." Brilliant!
Hot take: I feel like Barry too often gets the short end of the stick... Even when he seems to do really well. I feel like Barry shoula won...
You guys should do the same thing for gaming snacks! Would be quite a challenge I reckon!
What are your favourite gaming snacks?
@@SortedFood red bull
@@SortedFood Normally it would be bitesize things! Stuff like Mini Oven Pizzas, Mini Sausage Rolls, etc. or just simply crisps. I feel like you guys would be more than capable of making something more sophisticated 😂 but the challenge of creating something nice, but easy to eat whilst multitasking would be quite a fun challenge 😁
I reckon gaming snacks are all about being bite size and leaving your hands clean. So not to many crumbs, oils, fatty etc.
@@SortedFood hand food that doesnt get my hands dirty like mini pizzas and stuff
I was watching this while trying to feed my 8 week old baby amd he kept turning his head to watch the television, I think he's a fan
I really think that Barry should’ve won! I thought his was AWESOME! Well-either his or Jamie’s. All were fantastic!
While Barrys might be a bit messier, he did add a lovely handheld tray to hold beneath you as you eat, avoiding any spills on you. I reckon Barry should've had that win.
At the beginning of this I thought all of them were being way to ambitious so I'm very impressed with Barry! it would be the one I would want to try the most.
Mike I feel like would be a hard sell to general audience but would be real reasonable to serve in a theater as long as the cheese can be maid and just wait. making that whole thing at once would be a nightmare for employees
Jamie's is the most reasonable one out of the lot for actual movie theater food as you can have all the different elements could be set up before hand and would take 5 minutes to make
And yet, Jaime's is the only one I'm not at all interested in trying. Too much fluff, I think. I agree with Ben (& you), that Barry's is the one I'd most like to eat (I mean, duck confit, come on! 🤤🤤), but it'd be so messy
@@MrNathansdad Barry's dish wold be something you might eat before you go in to the actual movie theatre. Or after you have seen the movie.
Mikes I would love to try but see it more as something they would come up with in the more artsy film houses. That just want's to be different.
He did also mention sitting on your couch watching a movie. ie. at home.
Ben, Ben , Ben there are cinemas where you can order a hamburger and have it brought to you before the movie starts. So the duck dog is not far fetched.
Here for Mikes ambition, and great for sharing tbh…and taking away the chip noise!
cannot BELIEVE barry came third on this!! definitely my winner, super clever hacks and like Ben said-it's not like he invented the snack!
The DuckDog got third place! Was Ebbers New Years resolution to be crazy this year? That dog looked awesome. Should’ve been an easy first place for Barry.
It is a good dish. but not really a good idea in the actual cinema seat in the (semi) dark.
it would be very messy. Good to use in like the restaurant or pub that goes with the cinema.
@@sirBrouwer I have to disagree with you here. I actually think the other two will cause a much bigger hassle and messiness to eat in the cinema. If the hotdog is served in the little basket like how it was presented here then the messiness would actually be very minimal and contained to the basket. Those waffles and the dipping sauce will absolutely go everywhere, and the milkshake is impossible to drink/eat with everything piled ontop of the milkshake like it is.
@@goldenghostinc That is such an unfair thing to say for this. You want the Barry's dish to win because of how it will be theoretically served in the cinemas? If that is the case, then you should think like that for the other dishes too. The waffles can have a whole paper cardboard bag with a pocket for the dip while the shake is just literally a shake with toppings.
@@goldenghostinc Barry's dish deserved third place because it's too messy to eat the regular way just like what Ben said and let's be honest here, most dishes that Barry excel with are food that looks and sounds elegant in theory but when done by him, it just turns... different.
Not to mention that he is still not learning from all the tips that has been given to them by past guest chefs (this applies to all of them).
@@ArcusArgent I really can't agree with you here. Please read what I said about the other two dishes, and that in my opinion those are really much messier to eat in a movie theater.
I think Barry should've won this one. He was in control majority of the way if not all the way through making his dish. Incorporated lots of different cheats and hacks, and made a damn good movie snack. Especially with time to spare. That's just my two cents anyways this vid was amazing and fun to watch!
Completely agree
While it looked and probably tasted great, it's something that you can't really eat safely in front of the telly, therefore it deserved the 3rd place.
Or be awareded a time-management badge or equivalent.
@@patrickodan have to disagree, you can eat duck dogs in front of the TV. If you can eat a plate of nachos then a dog is easy.
Me too. I didn't understand why it would have needed a knife or fork unless you wanted to share it with someone else but that wasn't the brief. Jamie's would have needed a couple of hours to clean the sofa, floor, hand prints etc. No way could you eat/drink it without making a mess all around.
Barry was 100% robbed. All the flavors, the hacks and time management. He was the clear winner!!! Team Baz all the way. 😀
The energy. The chaos. The innuendos. The ✨attitude✨... Were all just 🤌🏻💋
Time management badge for Barry? Finishing early and using a whole bunch of time saving cheats?
Think Barry absolutely nailed it. Maybe not an in cinema snack, but grab it with a ticket, tuck in pre-theatre, and finish with the monster shake during the flick.
I know it’s a little thing, but the clasp on the lid of the Sage waffle maker is to stop the lid opening when you’re carrying it. The manual says specifically to *not* close the clasp when making waffles!
okay, so yes, it does require a knife and a fork, but the man made a duck ragout in ten minutes, was relaxed the whole time, and had the cleanest work space by the end. that deserves some recognition right there.
Good thing that the noisiness of the food is taken into account. Potato crisps should be forbidden in a movie theater if you ask me…
it's not just the food though - I've sat near too many people who picked the noisiest bag on the shelf and sit there rustling it the who effing film!! Basically any foiled-lined bags should be banned!! 😣
@@Laura_Norda haha. I totally get that! I once sat in a movie theater when someone dropped a bag of M&M’s during one of the saddest moments in the movie. The M&M’s rolled all the way down the different levels and made so much noice. It led up to half the people in the theater laughing and the other half being annoyed.
Lol, Ben regretting pushing Jamie to tell him what he was going to make 🤣 I got lost trying to follow what Jamie was saying..
Mike's dish has me most intrigued, so I'd give it the win too. Jamie's seems like it might be rather heavy, which would lead to a food coma.. don't want to end up sleeping during the movie! Barry's sounds good, but there isn't as big of a twist like with what Mike did.
Barry got cheated because nobody told Ebbers you can bring napkins to the movies. XD
the delivery of "Netflix and Fill" was so BEN it had me creasing
This was a fun video!
I want a Duck Confit and Ragu gourmet hot dog 🌭. A phrase you don’t hear every day. Barry’s dance 🕺 was great. Jamie was everywhere and entertaining as always. And Mike Wins with good bacteria laced green waffles served with a processed cheese like substance. Ebber’s narration and commentary were spot on.
I never subscribe to more than 10 channels at any one time. Sorted is and has always been my #1 channel. Always a well made, well produced, entertaining and informative video and always fun 🤩. Great job 👏!
Those waffles are by far the best movie snack. It's the only one you can actually consume in the dark without bothering other people
Jamie’s dish is best for binge-watching a Franchise Movie.
With plenty of bathroom breaks lol.
@@Timmycoo IKR? Too many times to pause and run 😂
@@PokhrajRoy. Imagine the LOTR movies including sequels.
@@Timmycoo Exactly.
Give how organized Barry was, the cheats, hacks and ability to make a dish in minutes that should have taken hours, surely he earned some kind of badge?
Clear winner for me, looked amazing.
Barry's looks so good. I think he should have won... Mike second, Jamie's third.
100% Barry should've won, finished early, delicious, good organisation and multi-tasking, good twist on an existing movie snack
The Huttlestorm definitely came from Jamie in this episode, and not Mike.
We shall call it a Spafficane and/or Spaffnado🤣🤣🤣
@@Ebiisan this... sounds like something very different
@Ebiisan Damn, I thought I had something good!
Mikes "What?!?" after Ben criticizises Jamie's presentation and "Ebbers its dark in the cinema" absolutley sent me :DD
Wow! Twice in a row I'm thinking Barry was robbed on that. I wouldn't want to try & eat in in a darkened cinema but the hacks for the 10 minute ragù should have won it for him, or at least definitely not last place.
I usually end up liking what Jamie cooks but I thought it was the weakest this week; sorry Jamie.
Mike's was good & he got to use that lovely SAGE waffle maker... I covet that machine.
Problem is your second sentence "you would'nt want it in a darkened cinema" - thats the point. As a food itself i agree, that the hotdog was by far the most appetizing (and i don't even like hot dogs that much). But i'd never eat that in a cinema. I'd make a mess all over.
And the waffles actually looked like the ones that would be more fitting / less messy and still looking tasty (even though i think nachos are messy in a cinemy, especially if the cheese is already on top of it)
I have no clue what jamie had in mind there. and i have no clue how he came second. Everything was a mess he made. Milkshake... okay i get that. but popcorn in it? How are you supposed to get the popcorn through your straw? Ah you need a spoon? Okay... ice spooning in a dark cinema... sounds... fun (not)
Dey always do dirty towards Barry.. I am starting to loose interest
Absolutely the right choice for winner, even ticks the "not too noisy" box Ebbers said earlier, by taking the one noisy part of nachos and making it silent. Genius. :D
I think Barry was robbed there.Mike and Barry’s were even in my opinion.And I’ve never wanted a milkshake during a movie,let alone one with a ton of stuff on top that would be hard to eat in the dark.
SUPER EXCITED and much respect to Barry who has pivoted to a more Focus on the one thing you can nail, prioritize your time so you have more time to elevate, re-adjust, your meal strategy. I think he would have scored higher if they could try it at optimal temperature,
Barry was robbed!!! He definitely deserves some bonus points for having it done so quickly! However, maybe if it'd been done as like a mini version/smorgasbord so you can dip/construct as you go, but to have all that made in under 20 minutes, is incredible... especially considering Jamie only made a milkshake and popcorn 😉
Honestly, being from north America I was fully in Barry's court because chili dogs are theatre food- even if they are potentially messy and to say such sacrilege as 'needs a knife and fork' BAH - get good Ebbers. You just have to unhinge your jaw like a snake and devour the chili dog in two-three bites.
Agreed. Barry's dish definitely wasn't 3rd place material.
I love that whoever uses the blender is always surprised when it starts.
So Jamie and Mike basically took perfectly fine movie snacks and went: But what if they were much more complicated to make or eat?
Agreed. I loved the video and their snacks looked really tasty, but I was hoping for something that I could bring out to share for movie night. Like something that could be made in a sheet pan.
@@lindarogers4297 I agree. I mean you could eat the hotdog for dinner before a movie night, watch a movie have the waffles as some kind of intermission snack, watch another movie, and finish the evening with the milkshake. Now that I write this out, this could actually be kinda good. But while watching movies I’d stick to normal nachos and popcorn
Spaff was stressed and full of dread from the moment the horn sounds! Never seen such an awesome shake be made with so much panic 😂
Barry's won for me. Wish I could have tasted it. Faced with the 3 options I would have chosen the hot dog. It looked so delicious that I want to run to the store for hot dogs now and I just did my weekly shopping yesterday. Heidi
Honestly this looks like it could be a 3 course meal, Mike's is the starter, Barry's is the main and Jamie's is the desert
For Barry's, to solve the mess problem, he could make tiny hotdogs (using pre-made tiny buns and less filling falling out. The big buns were pre-made, so why not tiny ones). Or some sort of hot dog dumpling or tiny burrito-wrapped dogs deep-fried. Also, about annoying the other people in the audience, I always find the nearby smell of the jalapeno fake nacho cheese sauce off-putting if I'm not the one eating it. If I had some too, it's fine, lol.
Or just include one or two wet wipes, my local burger shop does this and I never have messy hands or mouth after. Barry definitely deserved the win in my opinion.
Pretty sure that's why cinemas love that sauce: the only way not to be annoyed by it is to buy some yourself.
Hotdog sliders
@@GigaBoost Yeah, I had originally typed "hot dog bites" and accidentally deleted my comment, rather than sliders which would be bigger. I want them 1-2 bites. Sliders for me tend to be 3-4 (and I know for other big mouths they could be 1-2).
@@franklinnartz1381 It's not about messy hands for me, but getting it on my clothes (in the dark, watching a movie). Barry's sounded delicious, but the food team should have thought of that.
i agree with ben, the waffle nachos look like my sort of treat. the popcorn milkshake looks really good though, and for something similar with less effort, make your popcorn with cinnamon sugar and eat with ice cream.
I love how Ben just looked SO OVER everything the entire time the boys where cooking 😂😂😂😂
No support needed for Ben's comments! Love them keep 'em coming!
I have to say I would give it to Barry, it was not too complicated, didn't take a lot of time, and he seemed the least stressed out of the 3. That in itself, would lend me to believe that would be the most enjoyable experience. Plus lets be honest the hotdog is no less messy than a bowl of nacho cheese with the waffle nacho thing.
I'd give just about anything to cook in this format with these guys. The Ranch Waffle Nachos was a really neat idea.
I feel like Jamie made the dish Barry would usually make and Barry made the dish Jamie would do.
I miss the chaos of the older battles where the guys were all in the kitchen together. The bickering and sabotage always made for an entertaining video. I think of the Harry Potter battle and the philly cheesecake battle as my all time favorites.
Ben has got so much better at the “presenter role”, he’s so good
Ben: "The hotdog is too messy to be a movie snack."
America: *offended*
Jamie was 100% panic right from the jump 😆
These all look varying shades of delicious!
I prefer when they are battling together in teh same kitchen tbh!
This seems more of a fusion challenge instead of movie snacks challenge. I wouldn't eat any of these dishes in a dark movie theater, but would be more than happy to try any of these dishes at a pub.
This episode is pure gold. The innuendos and sarcasm are perfect.
The editing on this is impeccable
You know the feeling you get when you find your new favorite content creator? I've got that feeling now.
Barry finishing a dish with time to spare? the new year truly does bring wonders
Gods, I needed that shot of Bennuendo today! It's cold and dreary where I am, and the giggle fit all of Ben's comments inspired made the day so much better.
I'm so stoked for this, these all sound like fun unique ideas!!
Ben's changed a lot. From different moments in this episode he has successfully held back from fully making BENnuendos but has been suggestive instead lmao.
I was offended almost as much as Barry was when Ben mentioned eating the hot dog with a knife and fork. Barry absolutely should have won.
Mike's Waffles lookeed good but lets face it... if you grind up corn chips you're basically just adding cornmeal, salt, and some oil to your waffle batter which isn't really crazy by any definition.
Jamie's Milkshake is a mess, literally and just look at the glass >_> What was the actual plan when it came to eating it? Are you suppose to eat all the popcorn first off the top and then drink the half melted milkshake last? Are you suppose to try and suck up pieces of popcorn through a straw? Not that a milkshake is a great movie snack in the first place, what's a good snack that'll last me through the next 2 hours? A glass of ice cream and milk sounds good.
Mike not being able to get the waffles out of the iron is my kinda comedy 🤣
Barry was absolutely robbed so much effort and came last. Jamie only a milkshake boring
14:34 "... and now for the monster on the end."
*Barry looks at Jamie, standing on the end*
"That's harsh." :D :D
Barry's was the best. I'm not sure I would want popcorn blended up in to a shake, or soggy caramel popcorn. And I would rather just have nachos instead of nacho waffles. Then again ... I want to try them all.
My only critique on this episode so far is I feel like it should have been a multi-round battle: two mini-challenge, and one big show stopper.
Round one: popcorn (20 minutes)
Round two: beverages (10-15 minutes)
Round three: Ultimate Movie Snack (45 minutes)
An example from me would be:
Round One: Upscale Chicago Mix (mix of caramel corn and cheese popcorn)
Round Two: Irish/Kentucky Mule Slushy
Round Three: Steak Frite Nachos with au poivre cheese sauce
Honestly can't believe Jamie didn't put bourbon in the milkshake!
Dominating that hard in a friendly match would have been unsporting :D
Barry "less is more, unless it is a confit duck rago hot dog" and walking away early. The cost of a ticket at the cinema now one should expect a confit duck rago hot dog!
Mike "gradually stir with one slice of cheese at a time" then sod it, running out of time and stuffing in a whole pack.
Jamie "should have left one hand clean"........... insert Jamie reading Ben's mucky mind and saying what we were all thinking.
Awesome battle start for 2022.
3rd place? Barry's is the only one I'd eat, and as Ben pointed out, movie theatres all over serve messy chili dogs
Facts
I have to agree with Ben. I would definitely choose Mike's movie snack. Barry's looks yummy, but also pretty messy. Jamie's idea was a great one, but that amount of sugar would put me into permanent orbit!
