Ben: "I have not got kids" And somewhere in a Dickensian orphanage, Tyrone sheds a lonely tear, thinking of the love his father shall never give him...
@@sams-pg7hj I dont know and I have also wondered. I think that if I was Ben, I would have asked to have it stopped. It was funny for a while, but than maybe it got painful ? Not having kids is a not something to feel bad about, but its still something very private, and nobody should mess with that.
I definately vibe with that. As a child my favorite food was suchi and i hated to eat fries. I really disliked when i was served a kids meal. But to be fair my first solid food was salmon for the teppanyaki at a restaurant. So i was pretentious from the get go
My nieces would only eat zucchini quiche is it was called dinner cake. My kid only eats meatballs because they are sausage balls, and mince because it's tiny bits of steak. (Which yes that is what it is but we don't call it that normally.)
After a major trauma, my friend's daughter had serious eating issues and wouldn't eat anything but the basics (and, in general, barely ate). I made her a taco night and she LOVED it! Never underestimate the power of a taco night. (also, she's a lot better now - has expanded her horizons a ton)
This is one of your best ever. Ben, your desire feed them well was just what I like. Your restraint in seasoning is admirable. Now transfer all this to old men with heart trouble, high blood pressure, and diabetes and now I can finally eat your food. Please, sidekick more like this.
Exactly what I expected. but hey still massive props to Ben. His ideas worked, kids cant always be eating whatever they want and getting them to try something new and having them enjoying it is also a win in my book
@@SortedFood- noticed that. The kids gravitated to the more “fun” person. Sorry Ben, but in fairness, Jamie has more in common with a six year old boy 😂.
@@CulturalDuck "I like cheese, I like cauliflower but i don't like cauliflower cheese" A line from a Johnny Vegas film years ago I always remember and fits so well here lol.
cooking cheese will make lots of the stinky volatile compounds go away, which makes it more palatable to some people. My much younger brother included. the teasing that poor kid had to endure growing up in a very cheese loving family. he can barely stand to sit at the same table as a block of cheese.
There used to be a food channel that had kids draw a photo of a dish they wanted to eat and 2 chefs would compete to cook the dish and the kids would rate them. They were brutal and didn’t hold back and I so hope the same happens here! I was a teacher and kids have always been brutal and hard to please. It’s endearing and ego bursting at the same time 😂
Love the respect the cooks used when talking about these kids and their food preferences! There was no being mean or belittling over kids as picky eaters, or talking down their flavour palettes/cajoling them into being more experimental via coercive lines of reasoning. Instead, the focus was on respecting their dietary choices, and working out how - within those expressed preferences - to create an environment where the kids feel excited to try something new. Great stuff!
Yes! As someone with OCD and ARFID, I was suuuuuper picky growing up and forcing me to eat would have just led to me starving. So this was so cute to watch! Encouraging them without pressuring them.
Even though Jamie won, I believe Ben is the real winner here because he convinced a bunch of five year olds to gobble up and absolutely devour "grown-up" food and they loved it, even though they were just told to put down their tacos. That's the real wonder here: they loved eating something unknown and outlandish even though they just came from something they already loved - and they did not wish to go back. :D Yes, the taco-party is the perfect birthday-party feast and was bound to win as a concept. But the look and the concept of Bens meal was so out-there for a five year old that I was absolutely sure, that they would push it aside and ask for the tacos back.
the thing is both Jamies main and desert where very tactile. Both with making the taco but even more the crushing of the meringue they where affectively playing with the food. Also Jamie played along with them. Bens dishes where more indeed a grown up like dinner where the kids are allowed to also eat.
While I agree that it was good they got some exposure to new foods, the brief was to make the food they LIKE best. Ben was too chefy for his own good! lol
Exactly! I think J's dessert was the true winner over Ben's, sure. BUT. I cannot take the Taco party win seriously because it allowed kids to just each cheese and chips. For me, Ben's mains win because it got the kids to eat a lot of veg that they would not have otherwise eaten. And they liked it!
Ben absolutely wins this one!! Very impressive that the kids were so happy with what he served. Taco night was a very safe move, though Jamie's dessert was quite cute
@wallythewondercorncake8657 Yeah, it's almost like they make back-dated videos and these are already done while they film new stuff in the studio. Weird. Its like they aren't making a live video every day, because it would be impossible...
Can I suggest a video similar to the ones Ben and Kush did last year, where they showed what kit they would buy for 100 pounds but instead chose what equipment they would upgrade in a Normal's kitchen? What five kit upgrades would make Barry's kitchen easier to cook in? Something like that. And please, for the love of God, let one of them be a cookie sheet.
lol, we already know of 2. A real chopping block/cutting board, and sauce pans. tee hee. Agree though this would be a fun format after a cook from xxx's house ep
As a chef in a school here in Sweden. I season alot and use dijon mustard in almost all my recipes and the kids love it. Ages from 6-12 years old. They are only scared of foods they havent seen before, and new dishes. But the next time we serve it they will devour it. They are shocked when i say that most dishes we cook has mustard and onions in them. Because they all say they hate those 2. No you dont
Kids hate them individually. But if its cooked down in a Dish they wont notice it. Did you try giving them some French Onion Soup? Would be an interesting experiment if they like the Onions if they are cooked down slowly :P
@@Y0G0FU We serve a soup made out of cabbage and ground beef called "nikkaluoktasoppa". Had parents and kids ask for recipe. So in my experience they are just scared if its new or the bits are individually by them self. French onion soup needs solo bowls topped with bread and cheese broiled. So its hard to serve to 500+ kids. Its amazing would love to serve it tough
I feel like with something like mustard, I doubt many kids would like it on its own since it's also a sensory experience. I love marmite which is great when it's diluted down on buttered toast or something, but if you gave it to me on a spoon I wouldn't like it. You can always increase how concentrated they have it over time so they get used to it and get to enjoy it more but there's a lot of strong flavours that would be better slowly introduced
@@ublama5226Nikkaluoktasoppa looks good, like an improved corned beef and cabbage. The same website showed me cowboysoppa, which looks like it ought be good, but I've never seen anything like it in Texas.
Totally! I have kids and I worked with disabled adults who spent many years in an institutional setting. A lot of similarities in how they liked their food. Although the adults have a preference for old fashioned dishes like bread pudding. But really, who doesn't like choices?
@@jamesmansion2572 That was 1 kid out of the 4. And some kids are just like that, and it's very challenging to be their parents and get them to eat something.
@@Targe0yeah that would be my nephew for sure. He is so difficult to feed. He basically wants yoghurt, snacks, seaweed, crackers… sometimes chicken but rarely. He’s just not very food driven and very iffy with texture depending on the day.
ben might’ve had a fighting chance in the vote if they had the kids separately select one at a time and really ponder which dish they enjoyed more. having all four grouped up and run towards who they wanted to vote for felt like a slight disadvantage but at least we heard the scores they gave out! those kiddos seemed the enjoy the grown up food more than any of us expected i’m impressed
Simply amazing. As someone who loves to cook and head of cooking for the family and a Dad, this was a lot of fun to watch. Maybe we turn the script? Let the kids cook for them!
More of the normals being their normal dad selves please. It's lovely to see. Being a mum of 4 myself that's the content that's making me happy ❤ and they look like they are the best dad's. And uncle ebbers is a total legend. Also Austin being as pretentious as Barry is hilarious and fantastic 😂
That was EPIC! I loved having the honesty of the kids, they certainly don't hold back. Both meals were really good, too, I would have been pleased with either one. But it wasn't aimed at a 63 year old man, this was for a quartet of 5 year olds. Interactive food was always going to win, there, I think. It did seem like they really did like everything, so Ben can be proud of that, it's not easy to please finicky young kids, and he DID. This was great fun, the kids were so cute, you can tell the Baz, Jay, and Ben were all also enjoying themselves and the kids. Please do more of these! It might be fun to try this with some teenagers, too!
THIS IS MY NEW FAVE SORTED VIDEO. The kids judging was just the cutest thing, and seeing them so excited to try new experiences and new foods was so heart warming 💜
One half of Jamie’s specs steaming up when Ben opened the overnight was hysterical. 😂Loved this video and the banter and love between lifelong friends.. ❤
Working at a kindergarten and after school care in Germany. Most kids I know would never touch something like a casserole where several ingrediants are mixed in together. One child once looked at a casserole with pasta, zucchini, bellpepper and tomato sauce and said "I am getting dizzy" because there was so much stuff in it.
It's on their parents and the Abendbrot culture. The average German kid would have a small breakfast at home, another brunch in kindergarten, lunch in school if they're on full day care, and only have bread, cold cuts, cheese for dinner. Maybe soup if the parents cook. I get that parenting is hard, but dinner time could be used to introduce kids to new food items, and I guess most parents just don't take this opportunity. Then again, German adults...I have friends who don't seem to know how to eat meat on the bone. Watching them try to eat a chicken drum stick or spare ribs can be like watching the boss fight at the end of a video game. I guess they never learned? It's still odd to me.
Oh my goodness, those children are ADORABLE. Barry's son is definitely magnificently pretentious and I love it. It comes naturally to him and it is so sweet. They are all lovely little boys and this was a great video !
I love how you can instantly tell that Ben doesn't know how children work. 😂 The reactions of Barry and Jamie, along with probably every parent watching, when he mentions some of his ingredients, is gold.
I love Jamie's approach. When I was a kid and I went over to a friend's house or had friends over to mine for a party or meal, my favourite thing was always when the food was something like a taco party or mini pizzas where we all got to decide for ourselves what we wanted on our own. It wasn't even just that we liked being able to pick only the things that we liked to eat, we also had fun assembling our own food.
This is an absolute win for Ben in my book. He made them eat a balanced meal with new things successfully, they loved it. It just could not compete with Jaime’s crowd pleaser. I had no faith in Ben as he kept explaining his dish, and loved the dad looks between Jaime and Barry, but he absolutely delivered! Go Ben!!❤
I think the biggest take away for me as an uncle of 6 kids around this age group with this video is really how both Jamie and Ben had the same end goal set and the way that it was approached was what I thought. You could see that Jamie was comfortable cooking for children because as a dad thats part of the job. For Ben it was interesting to see his thought process throughout the whole video. Both meal choices are things that as Ben stated something that children already eat maybe not just there. I really enjoyed it and I would interested to see Barry and Jamie cook against each other for a group of kids all in good fun of course. And what they said at the start about how compared to when we, im in my 30's, to the kids now the kids now are more adventurous eaters. I whole heartedly feel its a result of the world getting "smaller", new friends from different parts of the world. My little one is going to be 2 next year and she just recently had Japanese food , and Chinese Halal food for the first time and adored both. I know as a kid I would have never done that. But in the end I think my favorite part was how both made it fun for the kids, great job everyone!
Oh man, my SO is in hospital after a bad tumble down the stairs, and everything seems so rotten right now... thanks so much for making me smile with this heartwarming video. ❤
I absolutely love this! It reminded me of the time when my daughter was 6 years old (now 36) kept saying she didn't like pizza. So we made pizza at home. Both kids (my son was then 9, now 39) helped out in the kitchen. They helped with everything from dough to sauce and picked out their own toppings. My daughter devoured her little pizza, looked over at me and very matter-of-factly stated, "I don't like pizza, except when we make it".
This reminds me of when I taught kids’ programs after school and I did a unit on nutrition. The kids were challenged to make a sandwich with different food groups. Weirdly there were a LOT of turkey and Nutella sandwiches…even more weirdly they ate them and said they were good 😅!! Would love to see more ‘cooking for kids’ content!!
I really enjoyed this presentation. Nice to see kids being considered. Start’em young! Jamie’s presentation was the winner because the kids really enjoyed being included in the process. I’ll bet if the kids were included in the production of Ben’s dish, they would have gobbled it up with enthusiasm.
Exactly!! I always did that w/my kids when they were little, giving them things to do to help me cook got them really interested in food in general & now they're in their 20s & no only do they cook a lot of things themselves but there are very few things they don't like. They even eat some things that I don't like. 😆
Barry’s kitchen is beautiful, the sunlight and white worktop gives off such warm homey vibes for this kind of video with the kids.. also kids are sooo cute 😻 “cheese pull-pool-ball!! ” 😂
Having watched you from your very first video, it’s really lovely to see you grow up, become dads (and saltless uncles 😂) while still keeping your friendship alive ❤
Whenever cooking for a group of kids your best bet is to give them lots of choices and not just a single one you will have no idea what they will or won't eat. I did like the expression on Jaimie's face ever time Ben would say an ingredient it was like "I remember trying to give kids mustard" LOL.
I loved this new concept! Though I was supprised Ben didn't get any votes as the kids gave better comments on his and seemed to like it better when they were actually eating it.
I'm not a parent, but I think one of the biggest things I can learn from this is: make food fun and interactive for kids. With Jamie's dishes, each kid got to add something to the final dish and then tuck in. Great job allround guys!
Thank you. I really needed that laugh. Cooking for kids is tricky on the best days. Mini Berry in the making..wouldn't have it any other way. Have fun with kids, learn from kids and at the same time teach them to be willing to try new things. 10/10 Video guys.
Excellent scoring! I can't argue with any of the judges ratings! This episode was so wholesome and endearing! I loved it, but wouldn't want more than one such episode per month.
Well this was delightful! More please! I want more of Ben dealing with kids! 😂 I’d be curious if a cadre of lil girls would want a ‘fancy’ dinner more than a messy taco party!
"So this one kids doesn't want to eat animals, so I left the meat off a quarter of the pan." Uh...that's not how vegetarian cooking works, Ben... They both looked like great dishes! :)
I feel like Jamie took the easy way out by basically just feeding them chips and junk food lol. But Ben putting 80% dark chocolate and mustard in his dish was hysterical and I don't know what he expected. Also Baz raising a child who would order a chai latte at a birthday party is the most on brand thing I've ever heard 😂
with all the stuff going on in this screwed up world the boys manage a perfect video no politics no war just good old fashioned fun thanks mates love you guys
I fear for Ben, because kids can be so brutal and so wonderfully honest. Dont be too hard on him Finn, Austin, Sebastian and Frankie, we still need Ben ;-). And he is your lovely uncle who cooks delicious food for all of you. Please dont forget that lads of the new Sorted Generation !!!
I loved this! The kids were so funny to watch and listening to their critiques was hilarious. They picked Jamie in the end, but I think they really preferred Ben’s food.
The cake recipe at 9:47 took me straight back to the 2012 videos. Something about the kitchen, or the camera angle, or maybe Ben’s tone of voice in that moment. It’s a joy and privilege to see how far the team has come since then :)
These videos are amazing! The best part of the channel is feeling part of your community and your friendship group and getting these insights into your lives (and little personal details like how Jamie calls his wife Luce) is even better. Thank you for sharing with us all!
This was a wonderful video, I would love more like this 😊. As a mum to a 5 year old and a 3 year old I was nodding and agreeing with Jamie all through this 😂. It’s lovely to see relatable parent content xx
I'm sorry, but this video was so precious! Been watching this channel for so many years now and it's so sweet seeing a video like this and thinking back to all of the crazy videos of the past (Sia video comes to mind)
Baz being proud of Austin's iced latte love is like me being proud of my niece for saying "I could never be vegetarian, I love bacon too much" yes girl!!! I was such a proud auntie that day
I absolutely LOVED this video! It was so much fun getting to see your kids & hear all of the brilliant things they had to say about the dishes! 👏 I hope you post more like this!💜
Barry's child preferring chai latte over chocolate means he is 100% Barry-mini in progress :D

Jamie's look to Barry when Ben says "80% dark chocolate" had me laughing.
🫣
Instant confusion and concern.
The beautiful concern
Jamie's side eyes throughout with Barry are the best part of this whole video. I loved it!
My sister tried to convince her kids that the dark chocolate was "Mommy's chocolate" the milk chocolate was theirs. Her plan did not work.
“will eat courgette if it’s called hot cucumber” this kid gets it
did you say 127?!
My nieces would only eat zucchini quiche is it was called dinner cake.
My kid only eats meatballs because they are sausage balls, and mince because it's tiny bits of steak. (Which yes that is what it is but we don't call it that normally.)
I used to have brussel sprouts but loved baby cabbages, lol.
We have omelet aka "Egg pancake" for dinner sometimes...
Loves mac and cheese. Hates cheese 😅🤔
You can absolutely tell that Jamie is a dad simply by his interaction with the kids ❤
absolutely
Ben's face of betrayal when no kids picked him was felt on a deep level. One of the best sorted videos I've seen.
After a major trauma, my friend's daughter had serious eating issues and wouldn't eat anything but the basics (and, in general, barely ate). I made her a taco night and she LOVED it! Never underestimate the power of a taco night.

It did seem like they really did like everything, so Ben can be proud of that, it's not easy to please finicky young kids, and he DID.
This was great fun, the kids were so cute, you can tell the Baz, Jay, and Ben were all also enjoying themselves and the kids.
Please do more of these!
It might be fun to try this with some teenagers, too!
THIS IS MY NEW FAVE SORTED VIDEO. The kids judging was just the cutest thing, and seeing them so excited to try new experiences and new foods was so heart warming 💜
The way his face lit up when he said "I love Chai latte"
That moment brought a big smile to my face 😊
One half of Jamie’s specs steaming up when Ben opened the overnight was hysterical. 😂Loved this video and the banter and love between lifelong friends.. ❤
With what his Plans are Jamie shows what a great Dad he is. Giving Kids the option to choose and try different foods at once is a Brilliant idea :D
Ben, Tyrone will be so disappointed not to be included
Tyrone is huge now.
@@SortedFood cause of all his dad's cooking...?
oh gosh how old is tyrone now? 13/14 yes?
@@nilsnilsche5037 15!!! he was 5 in 2013!!
@@GeorgiaMaeMusic no.....theres no way
At 7:06 why did I think Ben was going to say "I'm resisting the urge to add alcohol to everything." 🤣
Get them their own show, Half-Sorted 😂
Half Sorted.... love it 😂
Sorted-ish 😂
Since there are four of them, I think the obvious group Halloween costume would be for them to dress as Ebbers, Baz, Jamie, and Mike.
And Austin could dress up as his dad, since he already has his taste buds!
I vote for "shorted" as a name xD
Working at a kindergarten and after school care in Germany. Most kids I know would never touch something like a casserole where several ingrediants are mixed in together. One child once looked at a casserole with pasta, zucchini, bellpepper and tomato sauce and said "I am getting dizzy" because there was so much stuff in it.
It's on their parents and the Abendbrot culture. The average German kid would have a small breakfast at home, another brunch in kindergarten, lunch in school if they're on full day care, and only have bread, cold cuts, cheese for dinner. Maybe soup if the parents cook. I get that parenting is hard, but dinner time could be used to introduce kids to new food items, and I guess most parents just don't take this opportunity.
Then again, German adults...I have friends who don't seem to know how to eat meat on the bone. Watching them try to eat a chicken drum stick or spare ribs can be like watching the boss fight at the end of a video game. I guess they never learned? It's still odd to me.
The LOOK Jamie gives Barry while Ben is talking at 3:01 communicates like 10,000 years of parenting 😂
Oh my goodness, those children are ADORABLE.
Barry's son is definitely magnificently pretentious and I love it. It comes naturally to him and it is so sweet.
They are all lovely little boys and this was a great video !
15:05 I am totally going to steal that idea and host my own cheese ball.
Absolutely adorable. The main take away i got was, the more interactive the meal, the more children will love it.
I think Jamie's kids need a turn with Uncle Barry cooking
Good idea 😆
I love how you can instantly tell that Ben doesn't know how children work. 😂 The reactions of Barry and Jamie, along with probably every parent watching, when he mentions some of his ingredients, is gold.
I love Jamie's approach. When I was a kid and I went over to a friend's house or had friends over to mine for a party or meal, my favourite thing was always when the food was something like a taco party or mini pizzas where we all got to decide for ourselves what we wanted on our own. It wasn't even just that we liked being able to pick only the things that we liked to eat, we also had fun assembling our own food.
This is an absolute win for Ben in my book. He made them eat a balanced meal with new things successfully, they loved it. It just could not compete with Jaime’s crowd pleaser.
I had no faith in Ben as he kept explaining his dish, and loved the dad looks between Jaime and Barry, but he absolutely delivered! Go Ben!!❤
Respect for Ben as he made them eat and like unusual things! For that reasoning my clear winner!
A genuine and very original idea for a video, and greatly executed
YES BARRY we want MORE of this format!
I am LOVING the inclusion of the families and kids in the latest video!
Love the video with these adorable kids. They tell it like it is, the truth. The fact that Barry's kid eats basically anything is fantastic!
So adorable! I loved this, I forgot how hard it was to cook for my Son, now he is a Chef like his Dad. 😍
I think the biggest take away for me as an uncle of 6 kids around this age group with this video is really how both Jamie and Ben had the same end goal set and the way that it was approached was what I thought. You could see that Jamie was comfortable cooking for children because as a dad thats part of the job. For Ben it was interesting to see his thought process throughout the whole video. Both meal choices are things that as Ben stated something that children already eat maybe not just there. I really enjoyed it and I would interested to see Barry and Jamie cook against each other for a group of kids all in good fun of course. And what they said at the start about how compared to when we, im in my 30's, to the kids now the kids now are more adventurous eaters. I whole heartedly feel its a result of the world getting "smaller", new friends from different parts of the world. My little one is going to be 2 next year and she just recently had Japanese food , and Chinese Halal food for the first time and adored both. I know as a kid I would have never done that. But in the end I think my favorite part was how both made it fun for the kids, great job everyone!
Oh man, my SO is in hospital after a bad tumble down the stairs, and everything seems so rotten right now... thanks so much for making me smile with this heartwarming video. ❤
Hope you feel better soon!
Hope they recover soon! And you look after yourself ❤
How on earth is Austin just a mini version of Barry - and of course he likes Chai Latte as the son of Daddy Pretentious 🤣
Almost four minutes in and I'm like hundred percent sure that Jamie is on the right track 😂
I absolutely love this! It reminded me of the time when my daughter was 6 years old (now 36) kept saying she didn't like pizza. So we made pizza at home. Both kids (my son was then 9, now 39) helped out in the kitchen. They helped with everything from dough to sauce and picked out their own toppings. My daughter devoured her little pizza, looked over at me and very matter-of-factly stated, "I don't like pizza, except when we make it".
Sassy James and Kush: *We taught those kids.*
This reminds me of when I taught kids’ programs after school and I did a unit on nutrition. The kids were challenged to make a sandwich with different food groups. Weirdly there were a LOT of turkey and Nutella sandwiches…even more weirdly they ate them and said they were good 😅!! Would love to see more ‘cooking for kids’ content!!
I really enjoyed this presentation. Nice to see kids being considered. Start’em young! Jamie’s presentation was the winner because the kids really enjoyed being included in the process. I’ll bet if the kids were included in the production of Ben’s dish, they would have gobbled it up with enthusiasm.
Exactly!! I always did that w/my kids when they were little, giving them things to do to help me cook got them really interested in food in general & now they're in their 20s & no only do they cook a lot of things themselves but there are very few things they don't like. They even eat some things that I don't like. 😆
Probably the most difficult challenge the team has faced--and one of the best to watch.
Next time? Make Kush do it.
Barry’s kitchen is beautiful, the sunlight and white worktop gives off such warm homey vibes for this kind of video with the kids.. also kids are sooo cute 😻 “cheese pull-pool-ball!! ” 😂
Having watched you from your very first video, it’s really lovely to see you grow up, become dads (and saltless uncles 😂) while still keeping your friendship alive ❤
We all should go around to Jamie's place for tacos. Yummmm 🙂💗🙃
Hell yeah!
Love seeing you guys interacting with kids! Absolutely adorable and heart melting! 💖
My sympathies to Ben! Tough crowd there!
Whenever cooking for a group of kids your best bet is to give them lots of choices and not just a single one you will have no idea what they will or won't eat. I did like the expression on Jaimie's face ever time Ben would say an ingredient it was like "I remember trying to give kids mustard" LOL.
Ben " I dont have kids"
I'm sure he'll be fine,
Ben "Dark chocolate and dates"
AH yeah, Barry and Jamie's reactions make perfect sense ahahah
I loved this new concept! Though I was supprised Ben didn't get any votes as the kids gave better comments on his and seemed to like it better when they were actually eating it.
I'm not a parent, but I think one of the biggest things I can learn from this is: make food fun and interactive for kids. With Jamie's dishes, each kid got to add something to the final dish and then tuck in. Great job allround guys!
7:31 Hey, liking chai latte makes Austin a cool citizen of the world.
Why not just call it "milk with cinnamon and cardamom" ? 🤨
@ That’s masala chai
@@grumpsyb9191cause thats not chai latte, that would be more akin to masala chai
@@grumpsyb9191 Then it's a "cinnamon and cardamom" latte - chai is tea.
Thank you. I really needed that laugh. Cooking for kids is tricky on the best days. Mini Berry in the making..wouldn't have it any other way. Have fun with kids, learn from kids and at the same time teach them to be willing to try new things. 10/10 Video guys.
Know your audience! Interactivity is great for kids.
Excellent scoring! I can't argue with any of the judges ratings!
This episode was so wholesome and endearing! I loved it, but wouldn't want more than one such episode per month.
Well this was delightful! More please! I want more of Ben dealing with kids! 😂 I’d be curious if a cadre of lil girls would want a ‘fancy’ dinner more than a messy taco party!
"So this one kids doesn't want to eat animals, so I left the meat off a quarter of the pan." Uh...that's not how vegetarian cooking works, Ben...
They both looked like great dishes! :)
I feel like Jamie took the easy way out by basically just feeding them chips and junk food lol. But Ben putting 80% dark chocolate and mustard in his dish was hysterical and I don't know what he expected.
Also Baz raising a child who would order a chai latte at a birthday party is the most on brand thing I've ever heard 😂
This HAS to be become a series! Please guys, please this was hilarious... and also gave me some good tips even when I don't have kids!
I love Barry's kitchen, but I can't wait to see the videos being done in their new studio!!
Love y'all!! ❤
with all the stuff going on in this screwed up world the boys manage a perfect video no politics no war just good old fashioned fun thanks mates love you guys
I fear for Ben, because kids can be so brutal and so wonderfully honest. Dont be too hard on him Finn, Austin, Sebastian and Frankie, we still need Ben ;-). And he is your lovely uncle who cooks delicious food for all of you. Please dont forget that lads of the new Sorted Generation !!!
Yeah I saw the mustard and gerkin and thought, "Oh god."
And after seeing the full video, I feel bad for Ben :-(. But Jamie is clearly a dad, and Ben isnt.
I loved this! The kids were so funny to watch and listening to their critiques was hilarious. They picked Jamie in the end, but I think they really preferred Ben’s food.
One of my fav series you guys made, what a wholesome video. The kids were so cute, please more videos like this ❤😊😊
I love how balanced and nuance this video is. Thanks for that!
That was very wholesome. I enjoyed it way too much. Very cute.
The cake recipe at 9:47 took me straight back to the 2012 videos. Something about the kitchen, or the camera angle, or maybe Ben’s tone of voice in that moment. It’s a joy and privilege to see how far the team has come since then :)
Jamie's meal is such a dad meal
Its a brilliant Idea. It encourages Kids to try different things and if they DONT enjoy it.. there is more options :D
These videos are amazing! The best part of the channel is feeling part of your community and your friendship group and getting these insights into your lives (and little personal details like how Jamie calls his wife Luce) is even better. Thank you for sharing with us all!
Absolutely loved this! Totally different format but so fun!!
Ben got the kids to try new foods - I think that's super impressive. And I really, really want to see James cook for the kids! That would be so cute.
Haven't finished watching but this might be the first time in the history of Chef Vs Normal (Dad) I think the Normal has the advantage over the Chef.
True!
This was a wonderful video, I would love more like this 😊. As a mum to a 5 year old and a 3 year old I was nodding and agreeing with Jamie all through this 😂. It’s lovely to see relatable parent content xx
Awww they’re all so precious! 😭❤
I'm sorry, but this video was so precious! Been watching this channel for so many years now and it's so sweet seeing a video like this and thinking back to all of the crazy videos of the past (Sia video comes to mind)
I have not laughed so hard at a Sorted Food video in *YEARS*. This is hilarious content.
Baz being proud of Austin's iced latte love is like me being proud of my niece for saying "I could never be vegetarian, I love bacon too much" yes girl!!! I was such a proud auntie that day
Yall are awesome, i love the inclusion of kids in the video!
Been a huge fan of yours for 5 years now, and I absolutely ADORE these more personal videos with your families ❤️
5:05 that knowing look from jamie 🤣🤣
I absolutely LOVED this video! It was so much fun getting to see your kids & hear all of the brilliant things they had to say about the dishes! 👏 I hope you post more like this!💜
