2 Chefs cook from a home cook’s fridge | Sorted Food

[@neruneri]

Ebbers drinking prosecco and Kush drinking a monster is a perfect representation of their personalities.

[@SortedFood]

100% 😂

[@boykevanderborst682]

I was actually missing the Guinness in his monster 😂

[@dbest7]

A roasted tomato, quiche, and sugar free monster soup winning is an insane sentence lmfao

[@SortedFood]

Honestly a crazy creation, but somehow it seemed to work.... we're still trying to figure out how! 😂

[@neilgrundy]

@thomasandrewcliffordThat stuff is genuinely good, and it really shouldn't be.

[@Jandiss]

personally i prefer Monster Monarch, but Loco and White are also good.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

And no less than I would expect from Kush.

[@bluesfishes8491]

Oh FFS guys! Stop "offing" everything! It is an unnecessary affectation that drives people nuts. It is also a waste of breath. Love you all. Kush kicks butt! Seriously though the "offing" of everything is just stupid. You bake a thing, you fry a thing, you stew a fraking thing...none require an off.😂😢😂😢😂😢

[@gigiroelant7299]

"Quiche-thickened soup with monster" This is why I love this channel: sometimes I learn things to try in the kitchen, sometimes I bask in the chaos.

[@asunbeam5479]

Barry: You had a quiche in your fridge? Mike: I had old people round!

[@Lilian040210]

It was his fridge and he didn't even get to taste it 😭

"to balance out the tartness of the out-of-season tomatoes, a bit of monster" -kush

[@SortedFood]

As you do 😆

[@brittanyk3923]

Kush: “I don’t think the spice is that bad.” Ebbers: 🥵

[@Xioden]

Kush is just becoming more and more of a mad scientist... And I'm here for it!

[@SortedFood]

He's an unpredictable genius.

[@csmitty3517]

Let's do a slow cooker pass it on. Baz, Mike, Jamie and Kush, each get 10 minutes to add to a pot or pan in that order. The pot will then simmer or braise for 4 hours. Ben has to plate whatever is in the pot and can only add final touches and a quick bread if desired.

[@UIairi]

"Ben has to plate whatever is in the pot" is such an enormously threatening sentence.

[@Oberky]

I need this

[@phillipdangt341]

This, but their times are only at the beginning of each of the first 10 minutes of each hour. So one person can mess with stuff for 10 minutes, then it slow cooks for an hour. Then the next comes in, gets 10 minutes, and then another hour and so on.

[@Luke-we9gj]

This is a video to be feared lol i love this idea

[@Gauron.]

I dont think it would work this way because the chef at the end would just remove what doesnt fit into a slow cooker since most will go in raw and have a dish thats practically their own choice with whatever the previous guys prepared. What this needs is forced choices and double trouble: - Each chef gets to prepare ingredients for the slow cooker, once their time is up they put the things out in a bowl and cover it. - The next chef gets in, takes whatever he wants from the previous chef and prepares their own ingredients repeating the above process but at the end they must have anr item from the previous chef to use. - At the end this chef now once again has several bowls prepared where one must be used at the end. - When we reach the end point the last chef is left to put it together with the slow cooker. - At any point ONCE only they can choose to discard one bowl of ingredients to force down a path. - For a twist the moment someone gets to have their second turn they can choose to WITHOUT altering anything put the things into the cooker and turn it on. - Ben has to plate up whatever comes out of the pot. He has 10 minutes to make it look edible.

[@alamoaggie]

Ben instantly turned red after eating that soup lol 😅

He's really not the best with spice 😂

[@toscirafanshaw9735]

This videos show off their different approaches very well. Ben: What can we make that's elevated from what Mike would usually make, so he can take inspiration from it? Kush: What is the most outrageous thing I can do with these ingredients?

[@SortedFood]

Two very different approaches..... super interesting to see how their minds work.

[@SnipersLaww]

@@SortedFood one chef wants to aid in normal improvement.. the other wants to stupefy XD

As much as Chef James was enjoyed and missed, I'm sad we didn't get Kush sooner. His comedic and chefy genius is amazing.

[@57thorns]

Not sure why but: "Just blending my Waldorf sallad" has me in tears.

[@fairygirl626]

Happy belated birthday to little Miss Huttlestone! Congratulations to Mike and Kirsty on keeping all of you alive throughout the whole first year and every new thing that comes with it. ^_^ All of the Sorted littles are so lucky to have such compassionate, involved, fun dads in their lives.

Kush treating the Monster the same way Jamie treats anything meaty and ready to eat: not necessarily a part of the dish, bur definitely great for the chef!

[@Sturmlied]

Kush just chucking that Monster is kinda scary. Imagine the power of an over caffeinated Kush!

[@SortedFood]

Exactly this! Hahahaha!

[@gab.lab.martins]

Ironic considering his name is literally slang for weed.

[@sushygored]

I've always assumed he already was over caffeinated most of the time haha

[@june4976]

"Do NOT give the squirrel caffeine!" But it would explain how he manages to get so much done in so little time.

[@Hybris51129]

More like what could be accomplished with a fully empowered Kush?!

[@skittlemenow]

I'd love a video with the Chefs showing their laziest home meals. Like when the chef is just worn out and starving but they can't order out what's their go to lazy meal.

[@splitthesoulgaming7431]

Kush chugging a monster in the kitchen is the chefiest thing ive seen on the channel 😂

[@evilmissmunchkin]

I find this series so interesting to watch - I mean blending up a salad? Monster as a soup ingredient? and ofc Ben and kush have SUCH delightful chemistry on screen 😂

[@Squiddyjayjay]

How love how originally Ben went Savoury and Kush went sweet. Then they both got bored finding it too easy then went for both. Then at the end they all rushing and struggling- still making amazing dishes

[@alexdavis5766]

Why do I feel like Mike's fridge will be the most 'normal' of the 3 normals? Barry's is pretentious and Jamie's is all about the meat.

[@LankyLegs96]

Yeah, I agree, though today with the party ingredients it defo felt pretty pretentious!

[@jakeoshay]

Oh I just assumed that there would be a lack of choice from Jamie's fridge. Not a lot of verity or veggies

[@TMILP]

Depends, for me Jaimes fridge is closest to mine, however I live alone, and absolutely love meat so that would explain a lot.

[@Michael_Brock]

Kush defo saboed ebbers!

[@Michael_Brock]

Karma strikes! Kush burns ebbers's filo, then charcoals his own filo, LMAO!

[@HeadphonesGal215]

Ben: earnestly explaining his thought process Mike: listening intently Kush: *chugging monster*

[@liserjones8465]

Ben's face went so red when he tried the soup! You should use his colour as a scoville measuring system

[@SortedFood]

Now that's a great idea 😂

[@ambergristones]

Kush drinking a Monster with his pinky out like a proper gent.

[@maromania7]

"The comments will hate you" Nah, the chaos is part of why we love Kush :D Besides, the comments (like this one) are too busy complaining that the video keeps getting spoiled in the first few seconds.

[@CarolynParsons-mv1ji]

It makes me feel so much better as a Normal knowing that even Kush can burn food to charcoal on accident. Thank you Kush for boosting my confidence! And to all you guys for helping me up my Normal game! Sending lots of love from the US!!❤

[@toni_go96]

I love how both the chefs started with a plan, then just veered off track for fun, and those ended up being the best dishes...

[@SortedFood]

Yep, don''t think this would work too well as an app recipe 😂

[@YourXavier]

It sounds like one of those recipes out of the historical cookbook: "Cook off tomatoes, blend with monster energy drink, thicken with quiche, serve with bao bun croutons."

[@CDRaff]

I'm from the US and your use of the word "bacon" sent me on a learning journey into the world of "bacons" specifically learning the difference between "belly" and "back" bacon. In the US we call belly bacon just bacon, and back bacon "Canadian bacon".

[@Heiryuu]

Ben: Lawful good alignment Kush: Chaotic neutral alignment

"seasoning my tomato soup with quiché" "i just blending my waldorf salad" "wilting my spinach with Prosecco" You hear a lot of wild sentences in Sorted videos, but damn.

Ever since James left, there's been a bit of a void on this show (for me). Now that you have 2 chefs and 2 normals, the balance has been restored. Also, Ebbers and Kush battling each other is a chef's kiss. Such a contrast in personalities, cooking styles and approaches. Highly entertaining educational chaos! And I'm here for it.

Heya! This is an interesting one… as always, our content evolves based on a careful balance of our creative direction, community feedback, data and trends.

[@cesarlemos1337]

Kush is all about representing a normal who wants to makes crazy dishes + tremendous chef skills; while Ben is how far you can go by being better at cooking (thus, becoming more of a chef). And finally, I can see that Ben is Mike as a chef, Kush is Jamie on an apron and, since the beginning, James is Barry's compass.

[@SaltExarch]

I'm glad that Kush won this on the soup because as absolutely chaotic as it was, I think Ebbers winning on the cheesecake bao would've been questionable at best considering he literally stole the filling for the dish from Kush, and as far as I saw the only thing he changed was chopping up macarons into it.

[@gso619]

It's nice having both of them in the kitchen, because they're both very much experts, but they've got fairly different approaches. Ebbers tends to go for relatively straight-forward dishes, which he then elevates with skill and the occasional ingredient that normal people wouldn't think to use. Meanwhile, Kush is over there, going "Is this going to work? Not 100% sure, but I've got these ingredients, may as well use them.". One's a good example of the refined aspect of restaurant food, the other's a good example of the experimental aspect. Both of which work, because what's the point of going to a restaurant if you're just going to eat something you could just have at home?

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

I would love to see the group learn about the various families of home made fermented foods and long cook foods, they are a very underutilized /under appreciated ingredient type, dish type, and culture. And the flavors and textures would give you so much more play in the kitchen, while also giving you new ways to avoid ingredient waste during other challenges. Possibly also diving into the various home preserved foods
