      I'm with you on this one, but sadly with the photography, he got in his own way. I grew up with professional photographers, my parents owned a studio and photo lab/dark-room, so I soaked it all in for 10+ years, to the point when I mouthed off at the HS photography teacher that I could teacher the class and she said "prove it," I did. Barry was thinking as a studio/professional photographer, not a food photographer, which are VERY different. When I was working at a 5 star hotel, the banquet manager was a food photographer and actually spent a week with me on how to frame and take photos, then how to properly match with menu wording and so on for our room menus and our sales department paperwork. It was like nothing I've ever done before.

      @@stone5against1 It makes sense that Jamie won to me. After making a mistake by saying he'll put one dish on the menu in his restaurant, he obviously had to go for the dish that would pull the offerings as a whole down the least. While he can make all the tweaks he wants in regards to presentation, quality and quantity later, the core flavors need to blend great. I think that Barry's not only was too similar to what he already had on his menu, but also that the flavor profile wasn't distinguished enough. Those are aspects you can't really fix with finetuning the execution.

    It's always great to see someone else's recipe make it onto a professional menu. Most chefs brainstorm with the team (or a menu planner) on off-days to come up with something, and it is by no means an easy feat to whip up an idea that can be served to the masses. If a chef is willing to adopt a recipe, it must hit a number of key points for the envisioned menu.

    Boiled egg peeling tip - pour out the boiled water (I like 7.5 minutes for a fudgey middle), replace in the same pot with cold water for a few minutes. Take an egg, crack it, and (what I find really helps) roll it on the counter to crack around the perimeter. As James said peel the egg in the water and it should be super easy, and the shell pieces if any on the egg or your fingers easily rinse off. Don't skip the rolling step.

    While I love these videos, and having heist chefs on is brilliant, I do miss the classic three normals in the kitchen chaos and sabotage of an ultimate battle

    I absolutely cannot believe that despite all the mishaps Jamie pulled this one out of the bag so spectacularly. Well done!!!

    I can’t believe Mike wasn’t competing in this, he’s the fried chicken king

      My guess is because he already has 2 Twist badges.
