Envious Barry cam is my new favorite segment
😂
Funny how Ben shared drinks with Jamie but snubbed Barry.
@@asquithmainlines699 They caved in and gave him the dregs of the beer can eventually
The normals should create their own DIY kit and have Ben give them a DIY KIT badge for the best one
Amazing idea!
@@strawberrry1997 ye man
Brilliant idea
@@hopefletcher7420 ye man 🤟🏻
PLEASE!
5:03!
Barry: "Basically it's a snacking napkin."
Jamie: "A SNAPKIN!"
lol
a snackin sounds and looks better haha
Ben hasn't even finished cooking Barrys dish and I'm already so impressed by Barrys enthusiasm about the kit. Really shows how much he genuinely loves it which is great to see!
chef singular in the title. i miss him already 🥺
I'm...fine 🥲👍🏽💔
The snarkiness level on this show went down 10x
Damn! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
He's not left just yet.... we have a cracker of a vid on Sunday too.
Wait, what is happening? Who is leaving?
Barry in absolute misery watching Jamie's meal kit
😂 it's funny to watch though right?
@@SortedFood Oh you know it. 😏 🤣
Mike busting a spleen because of Jamie's kit choice was also amusing!!!
@@maryjoyspohrer9011 Not so much of the kit, more because of Jamie's incessant fanboying. The charity bit was completely irrelevant to the video.
Please say Barry got some of that sticky toffee pud in the end 😂- my heart physically broke for him
It's his favorite!
I was thinking those 2 puds could’ve easily been cut half so he could have some.
i can't believe they forgot so i think they were punishing him.
As someone from an Iranian family, it is so great to see this food given this platform. Watching Ben make this reminded me so much of my own family cooking this same food at home. I really hope people who see this video either buy that kit themselves or visit some Iranian resturants to experience some really amazing food!
It was my favourite
We used to have a really nice Persian restaurant in my town, but it shut down. They did a sweet & sour stew dish with pomegranates in that was one of the best things I've ever had.
@@TheSilentScreamX That's Fesenjan right? I remember my dad would always order that at Iranian restaurants and I thought it looked absolutely disgusting but now Im older I should probably give it a try 😆
@@comiclover99 That's it. Thank you, I couldn't remember the name. Yeah the first time I asked about it, the chef said it's not for everyone and let me try a bit before I actually ordered it. I loved it, but it's definitely not a taste you'll find anywhere else.
@@comiclover99 my favourite my mother in law used to cook it for me at least once a week when I lived in Iran
Feeds four,
or two hungry people.
or one Jamie.
Nailed it 😂
😂
🤣
Baz: “We haven’t gotten to the best part yet.”
Jay: “The eating!”
Baz: “The bread.”
Jay: “Oh.”
Sorted gold. 😂😂😂
Hahaha..... it's always the eating part right?
Came here to comment on the same moment! 🤣
4:36 for replayability
I really loved that they showes Baz being tortured behind the cameras. It's so cruel but interesting to see the one man out.
@@SortedFood No no. It's the snacking bread.
12:58 Ben double fisting the cocktail and the lager really had me in stitches. Whoever had the camera for that hit gold!
I also love how he took a bigger sip from the negroni (higher ABV) than the lager.
Barry's kit is the winner for me. Easy to make, easy to share, and easy on the pocketbook.
Ben's little dance when he sings "moppin' up the juices" is what I needed today. Also, steak.
Mopping Up The Juices is the hit song from Sorted: The Musical. Bound to revive the West End once it opens again
I love how Jamie just knew Barry would have the pretentious argon oil
By now the whole world knows
True
If we’re honest with ourselves, we kinda knew as well though 😅
They need to raid Barry’s house and see how many pretentious ingredients he has
It's not pretentious, unless Barry has it at home. 😀
Oh, my gosh! Boys, I did it, I did it, I did it! I made my very first Porterhouse steak tonight for our anniversary dinner! It was closer to mid well than medium, but I didn't ruin it! I also made a French Onion soup with real sherry and everything!
Med Well isn't bad for a Porterhouse, as big as they are, and just keep practicing, I know it took me several to get them right, and even now, I don't go for the slab of beef any more, I tend to go filet, skirt or rib eye.
I know it's been a year, but cheers mate!
I know it's been 2 yrs but congrats. Sounds great
The only problem I have with this series is that I can't get any of these kits as an American...
As a kiwi, same!
I'm sure you can find copycat recipes that get you close online for a lot of these meals. There's always going to be people eating a meal out and writing a blogpost about how to recreate these at home. It isn't exact but it'll get you close.
Canadian with the same woes.
@@svenis97 Same. Maybe we can start begging some local restaurants.
@@michealpersicko9531 It would probably be cheaper too but, l cook a proper meal almost every night and often look for inspiration on the web so, it would be lovely and a lot more special having it all prepped and portioned. Also some may use ingredients l don't use enough to buy, especially that last one. So envious of any home delivered meal with that many fresh and tasty looking sides!
Ben saying “at 3 very different price points” just unlocked a memory from the good ole days
"Three donut places at 3 different price points!" Or the pizza ect. all great. good times.
and which one is the most worth it at its given price
The BuzzFeed thing?
@@friedsugar2701 p they (sorted) used to do a series or like roast chicken at three different price points or pasta etc and turn it into recipes it was great!
@@lisax4186 Oh, I'm a new viewer lol
Barry cursing under his breath due to being deprived of exquisite libations and Sticky Toffee Pudding is just priceless! 😂
Ben drinking two different drinks at the same time is my animal spirit
"There IS one thing..."
"Oh yes! I want to hear it!"
"...I kind of wish we hadn't started with cocktail hour..."
"Well that's a dumb thing to say."
GOLD. Thank you. This made me laugh out loud! I love the chemistry you fellas have and the way you work together is exactly why I'm sub'd and why I recommend your channel to my friends.
Keep it up!
Great work!
So “friendly competition” is code for “make Ben do all the work,” right?
Pretty much 😂
To be fair he doesn’t look like he suffered from doing all the work.
The first kit requires one dish, the baking tray to cook. The second requires a bunch. I feel like that's a factor to consider.
The second was also a full 3 course meal with sauces and sides, you don't necessarily have to cook them together and even then they're clearly not in the same ballpark at all
i would like to point out the second meal is a giant steak :D
To be fair. If you have that money to spend on this. Expecting you to have some more equipment than the first one is fair :P
@@redholm yes, but the more work that is involved then the less it’s like a restaurant experience. I’d wager that second one could be done at home to a fairly comparable standard for a hefty price reduction if you can put in an extra two hours of work.
Also, the kebabs were by far the only affordable option. I’ve paid a tenner for far worse kebabs in my time in London, so having enough for two kebabs each, delivered, at £30 is outrageously good.
@@fabe61 keep in mind the steak alone is over half the price that's 1 kg of 45 day dry aged prime rib
I really love all of the restaurant meal kits you've highlighted this past year. I just really, really hate that I can't buy any of them in the US. It's torture.
move to the UK wooo lool or order it in whilst staying in an AirBnB here
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi it's very expensive to travel to the other side of the world..and with covid travel is even more complicated. Where I live (Australia) has only just allowed travel to interstate. Before that you had to quarantine 2 weeks after arriving and when you come back even if you test negative for covid.
Hopefully this restaurant box thing will become a trend around the world.
There are ones you can buy in the US. Not UK ones but till good.
@@bcayetrouble is US food is pumped full of chemicals and flavour enhancers. That’s why Americans think British food is bland because we’re so used to all the enchanters and chemicals.
I think the Hawksmoor kit was an amazing option during lockdown, when going to a restaurant was impossible and you still wanted that quality and experience. Especially for a special occasion. ❤
I'm a couple years late, but my wife and I had that kit for my birthday in either 2020 or 2021. It was stunning, and as a bonus my wife discovered that she didn't like cherry negronis so I had them both!
13:36 - Fitting that Barry isn't behind the camera, given he hasn't earned his Basic Photography badge yet
Rude 😂
Shady but yeah
And it's what he does for a living I think??
That's harsh! Poor Barry. 🥺
@@invisiblekid99 he's doing sorted full-time, but I think he used to do wedding photography (from an interview Ben did)
You gotta love the movie star Ebbers attitude when he said that he knows who to talk to when his sound isn't good.
This is how you know they are all friends, even when they are "behind the camera" they still get to participate. Love watching these guys!
Nice to see Ebbers double parked with a balanced meal of a drink in each hand.
I love this new idea of also recording the other normal who isn’t in the focus snd we can only see his reactions. That moment when Barry sniffed the wine and his reaction was pure gold
Word of the Day: ‘Snapkin’.
It’s nice to know how Flatbread is an Art Form where it’s food and cutlery.
Such a good word right?
@@SortedFood Indian Snapkins are best. #RoomaliRotiSupremacy
@@PokhrajRoy. I was just gonna talk about Rumali Roti.
I first found out it was used as a napkin in a food quiz!! 😂
@@PokhrajRoy. how do I manage to see you everywhere? 😂
@@vahbizdamania6884 I’m everywhere. It’s just that I’m spotted now lol
"Cause if my sounds not right... I know who to come too."
Holy cow Ben, I dont think we've ever seen you actually threaten someone before. That was awesome!
One thing I always really appreciate is Mike's commitment to find not just good food, but food that's doing good.
Mike: “Ben, I want you to be objective.”
The Spaff: (EVIL LAUGHTER INTENSIFIES)
"Blanched, in beef dripping" I honestly thought Jamie's head was about to explode
Reminds me of the 1914 Chef v Chef: "today I learned, blanching is awesome"
Must say I loved seeing Barry and Jamie behind the camera and I'd love to see more of this side of everything. bits and pieces from what's going on behind the scenes and of the less planned less scripted Sorted
I really liked being able to see the boys doing their backstage work/reactions! The food envy is so funny 😂
Barry's reaction to being left out of negroni and sticky toffee pudding gives me life
I'm all for a behind the scenes, normal camera from now on
😂 I love the way Jamie's face lights up at the prospect of eating.
I'll have the all the salad bits and the plonk, please!... Oh, and the sticky toffee pudding. 😂
Wow! I really appreciate the restaurants and their choices around sourcing and sustainability. The price point for each seemed more than fair. Well done by everyone!
Ben planning his Mid-Week Meal with reserving the Slaw for a future Ham Sandwich. #PeakBenBehaviour
That Kebab Kit that Barry is doing PR for sounds excellent and looks delicious. As a Kebab Connoisseur, I’m loving the entire process and there are juices to mop up the bread. SIGN. ME. UP.
🙌🙌🙌
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the Iranian food! It's honestly a shock to me, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with its sizable Iranian population, that we haven't whipped up a DIY kit like this here! To be fair if you're Iranian you'll often cook and eat home food (which, as I've commented before, is immensely diverse and you should definitely check it out more), but kabobs usually require a grill or barbecue and quite a bit of hassle to accomplish at home, so we usually get takeaway from the nearest Persian restaurant if we want some. An interesting fact, though, is that Iran doesn't really have a restaurant culture - 90% of restaurants there serve the same food (kabobs, stews, rice, etc.), with some regional variation, and there is a dearth of restaurants serving non-Iranian, non-fast food in the country. There is an impressive amount of culinary diversity throughout the whole region, but most of it is inside the home and the recipes are passed down through families, so you don't really see it reflected in the restaurants. 2nd fun fact: "Berenjak" means "little rice" in Persian!
I love how Sorted uses their channel to promote restaurants and brands that we may not otherwise have heard of. Keep it up guys!
And our chef Ben
Ben:🤓👋
Classic Ben
🤓🤓🤓
Yeah written james out already. Not nice, not cool.
@@mtek334 James's decision was his own. He's still gonna show this Sunday. But he's working for himself and be a better chef. Good for him :). I'll miss him too, but somewhere out there they'll serve dishes with an extra bit of ginger😉
@@mtek334 he chose to leave. Would you rather they be disingenuous and continue including him in intros or referring to him as a staff chef when he's not?
i love the addition of the sound person camera, it makes me feel like i'm really in the room with y'all!
i tell you these kits were amazing, large portions and look stunning. i wish a food channel in australia would review restaurant DIY kits here if there are any, and if they look this good i would definitely buy some of them
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sear that Ben got on that steak
Ben smiling while getting out glasses for more cocktails makes me so undeniably happy
21:21
also barry's face a second after that
Barry's reactions throughout Jamie's contribution were priceless.
I think Barry's box was a good deal and his enthusiasm makes it that much better
I'm always so ready to try all of the restaurants you guys recommend and then I remember that they are all in London, and I am not even in Europe.
Jamie sold that well, but there's zero chance I'll ever spend £135 on a kit lol. I'd rather have five of the kebab meals so I get five great dinners on five separate occasions. But like Mike said, if you can afford it, it sounds like an amazing meal
I'd usually agree wholeheartedly. But when I think about birthday dinners I've done with family and friends where one person picks up the check at a decent sit-down restraunt it equals to something similar to that. Especially if you factor in that it was a 3 course meal, a whole bottle of wine, sides, etc. If it were an anniversary, date night, or even I got a nice bonus at work and want to treat someone I clukd see myself doing this. A once in a blue moon, whereas I clukd order the kebab kit like once a month
Honestly I’m considering the meal kit.
As a romantic meal in, or something I can’t fault it for that price.
@@slipstream9619 i i i i c c c i i bicbìib
The fluffy bit of hair sticking up on the back of Ebbers's head is giving me life
You have no idea how happy it makes me to finally see a western food channel shine a spotlight to Persian food! Thank you so much
All winners for the food kits, and supreme winner for this and other videos goes to: the camera work. Everything looks appetising and beautiful. Thank you, team.
I love these reviews! it may be 1am here in australia, but am I watching? YES, yes I am!!
That's dedication! Thanks for watching :)
Another Aussie!
If I have to watch something from australia at 3am EST in the US, I can deal with a 5 hour difference from the UK.
Meeee tooooo!
Aussie Sorted peeps represent!!
Mikes: "I'm confident, I am very confident" gives me hot sauce "poker face" flashbacks
I have to go with Barry's personally... it's the most unique at-home experience and at a great price point. Was extremely unsurprised when Mike picked a chicken box
I feel like they should have tried baking Mike's kit because that's what a lot of people would do at home. It would be interesting to see how it turned out.
I think the best part was repeatedly getting "guy behind the camera" reactions. Ever smelled a cocktail so strong, your eyes cross? Jamie has! 😚👌
When Mike said "oh hello" he sounded like Matt smith's doctor 😄
I've watched this video about 5 times now. I really enjoy seeing their reactions to food, even after all these years of cooking. Their excitement is still present and it's great to see.
This was pure gold, every bit of it, I just love everything about it.
MORE SOUND CAM PLEASE, we love to see it
Out of Context SortedFood Video at 4:58
Barry: “Soggy Bottom.”
Ben: “Soggy, Steamy Bottom.”
LOL.
Ben checking Barry about the sound was soooo good !!!! Lol let’s go Ben!
Proud to see my restaurant in here, getum Hawksmoor crew!
I'm laughing so hard at Barry wanting to drink and have dessert from Jamie's box
Blanched in beef dripping, Everyone else blanched in alcohol, 😆🤣😂
Lavash bread brings back memories- my mum used to use it to make meat and salad wraps for my school lunches!- yummmmm!🥰🤷♀️👍🏻
It's good to see you are having fun. Adding the smiles makes me, a distant viewer from the US appreciate this so much more.
You know Ben's excited when he gets all sing-song-y 4:36
You just KNOW Barry went and got that steak kit the moment he got home
I come back and rewatch the Hawksmoor section of this video every now and then. Partially for Jamie's giddy excitement as they go through it, but mostly for Barry's exasperation that he isn't eating it.
As someone who is the child of Iranian immigrants it brings me great joy to see Barry so very happy about Iranian-style kabobs and how really really excited he is about the kit.
These restaurants: *how much are we paying for this top notch review? NOTHING?!*
Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure.
Yay! Finally some good Iranian food! The only thing is that we don't make sandwiches with kebab and yogurt goes in the side and not as a dip/sauce. One would eat the yogurt with a spoon. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it😊
It's seriously delicious!
I grew up on iranian cuisine and I'm so glad that box's like this exist, because unless you have a middle eastern market near you there is very few ways to enjoy it in the west. Every time I've made my friends kebab or stews that have never had anything from that region have always loved it.
Oh wow! I don't think I could choose who did the best job reccing their kit - Barry, just possibly, but the other two were pretty darn good, too! In terms of whether I shall get one - I have a birthday coming up, but it's not a big birthday (so perhaps not the Hawksmoor!), and my husband does rather like cooking if it is spelt out for him step by step.... I'm not just that fussed on the chicken (although those sides look a-MAZ-ing), so I reckon we'd go for the kebabs. in fact, I suspect we might well!
Mike killing it in his looks by that fuschia polo shirt. Srsly, he's gorgoeus ❤️
The look on Jamie’s face when he said the chips were cooked in beef drippings. 😂
Mike: "Would you describe those a chunky chips?"
Me: "I would describe them as potatoes."
Guys... I got soooo excited when I saw the Kabab kit. I'm an Iranian and a huge fan.
Please try more Iranian/Persian recipes on the chanel. You won't be dissapointed.
Cheers 🍻
Sorted is gonna make me move to the UK just so I can eat all of these
Did you pick my brain???
Hey sorted, tell james we miss him. Great vids!
Why hasn't James been in videos lately? Is he taking a break??
@@GrowGlow he left sorted unfortunately, the last pass it on was his final video, but he said he‘ll be back for some reaction Videos maybe. He‘ll be working in a restaurant from now on🤷🏼♀️
@@cxsima9423 I was just watching that pass it on yesterday and wondering why everyone is saying he's gone when he's in a recent video! Shoot, it won't be the same without him 😥
one suggestion i would make for Barry's kit is to give the customer the option to buy with or without the skewers. That way you dont end up with drawers full of skewers from buying the kit more than once! Also if you already have skewers, maybe collapsible ones, you dont have to pay for a kit that gives you something you wont use, but people who dont have them can buy the kit that has them so they can still make the recipe!
I'm salivating over the Hawksmoor kit! Though the spinach appears next level tasty, a light sprinkling of nutmeg would send it over the top! 😁😎👍✌
Me: i wonder what jamies box is gonna be
*Ben opens hawksmoor box*
Me: *facepalm* ofcourse its bloody hawksmoor!
Yup, you know it!
I love how you show Barry sitting behind the camera. It makes the entire video feel more real and grounded. While being hilarious.
This has to be my favourite Sorted video! Four friends, banter, amazing food, colours, and both envy and attainability. And wishing the best on all. Feelgood video of the year!
I find comfort in your videos. Thank you.
could you review Vegan DIY food Kits? that would be brilliant!
Some more vegan / vegetarian content is always appreciated by me as well
Agree - even as a carnivore, I’m making/eating more and more vegetarian and plant-based meals each week. For various - as Jamie would say - “reasons”. Want to start spending more money on fewer, but better, cuts of meat. So I’d love easy and/or gourmet meat alternative meals (from Sorted guys or collabs). Cheers!
But jeez, I’ve got to say that steak meal looked amazing...
Don’t think they eat and review lawn turf, maybe vegetarian though.
If Ben could he'd have a pet Jersey cow 😅
Hahaha.... he would be in his element. Ebbers Milk, Cream and Cheese anyone?
@@SortedFood I think I'll pas on the Ebbers cream.....
@@SortedFood can he get one on his allotment??
@@SortedFood Well, he already has his own little herb garden. Farmer Ben needs to get some milking done.
@@SortedFood oh no....
I'm not even hungry but all these meals have me salivating! Winner is Barry's kebab kit; get loads n loads of food, it's unusual, fun & inexpensive!
Ben: “I don’t like deep frying at home, because my kitchen will smell!”
Me: yeah, I get that- “I” don’t like dee frying because I gave myself second degree burns doing it once!🤷♀️😅
I’m completely with Ben on the frying. I don’t like the smell of my house the next day and I’d rather not know just how much fat is going into my arteries. Denial tastes so much better.
You need a better ventilated kitchen/house.
I have NEVER had that problem from frying.
If the oil temp is right, the fried food should not be oily. Just a little on the coating.
@@CharlotteKandy they may just have a sensitive nose..
@@stephbrown1500 true. I actually just had nose surgery a few weeks ago to fix my messed up nose so maybe thats why I never smelt things like that haha
@@CharlotteKandy ahaha yeah maybe
Hope you're healing well after the surgery!
I was looking forward to a new video from you guys!!!
Same
And we delivered :)
Always blown away by the editing. Really loved the side by side shot of Ben putting the sandwiches together. 👏🏼
Hate how much this video is making me love Barry!
