400 Mile Cooking Challenge - Chef vs Normals

[@segoi11]

I love how Ben was enjoying the impromptu viking tour. Also love that they got to hear "Spaff!" out of nowhere 200+ miles from home. I think Jamie and Barry's dishes suffered from execution rather than concept. In York, they talked about how balanced the ones they bought were, which probably took practice and experimentation. While Ben got his inspiration from the ingredients and knew how to execute it.

[@tarahobson1525]

I love that he was such a fan that could just shout out the name and they got to enjoy the fries from his stand. A wholesome fan/youtuber interaction and a fun moment.

That would be good huh? We had so much fun on this trip, we need to get out more again 😀

[@krisball1990]

@@mindom No, we just use miles in the UK when talking about distance to get to somewhere. Our road signs are in miles.

[@rebelpearl]

@@SortedFood I think this is a great suggestion. With everyone trying to get back to normal after so long, I think checking things out in more day trip like episodes would be great for those who want to travel but for one reason or another can’t go far or for long. Day trips are great for breaks of routine and let you feel a bit less stressed. Also, so many people are unaware of what is nearby.

[@AngauMusic-d1i]

I think a series of "The Sorted Team goes on Holiday" and ever location has a food battle of some sort using local ingredients and maybe even local cooking methods would be amazing

[@Crazyasian123456]

They used to do that but its been a few years, if you look back in their videos there should be a few! They were a lot of fun to watch!

[@petercrawshaw19]

[@fprosk]

They have done that in a few places! search up their videos in Portland Oregon, Portland Maine, and Puerto Rico

[@lauracolleen]

Honestly, you are the only channel I know that does ads so damn well. They don't feel like ads, just another great content to watch and enjoy.

[@mekko902]

True! They're one of the only channels I'll happily watch when I know the content is branded. They're great at incorporating it, keeping true to their vibe, and only accepting deals that make sense with their brand.

[@randalthor741]

I agree, there are only a handful of channels I know that do ads really well, and Sorted is definitely one of them. When a channel is picky about who they do ads for so that they only do ads for products/companies that really fit well with the channel's content, and only for ones that they clearly believe in (as in: they've got a really good product and/or the company has very good/ethical practices), and they manage to make the ad feel like it fits in with the flow of the video (or even if the entire video is basically an ad, but it's done in a way that makes the video fit in really well with the rest of the channel's videos), well I don't mind ads at all when they're like that. In fact, when the ads fit in so well like they do with Sorted, I'm much more likely to consider actually spending my money on whatever's being advertised. If Sorted started advertising RAID: Shadow Legends or something, yeah no thank you. But the types of things they do advertise, and the way they go about it: that works for me.

[@edpotter1170]

their ads make me actually wanna try and go on a trip with LNER and I'm not even close to anywhere in Europe.

[@ParadoxicalThird]

@@maccladoz Yeah this. A giveaway is that Ben is wearing a different shirt back in the kitchen; And it's not just a jacket, his undershirt is different. You can look at the outside york scenes and see he's wearing a shirt that goes all the way down to his wrists, but in the kitchen he's not. It also has different buttons.

[@Becausing]

Taaaaxi! Well that's what we yell out in my part of Oz if someone breaks a glass. Means they have had to much to drink and need a taxi home. I think Jamie and Bazza did a good job. I would have liked crunchy bubbling cheese on top of the bread but Ebbers looked good too. Ebbers you should have come out in you new chef's jacket to get they guys reaction. Thanks for a fun video again

[@SpeedyOwl]

Ben had far too much fun on that day out and I'm so ridiculously happy for him. And, Chris is so valid, like, if you're in a chip van, and you see Jamie walking around on the edge of your vision, it'd be rude not to hail him down and provide him with a gr8 burger and chips tbh.

[@Shadowreaper5]

You can tell they're good friends when Ben says "guess the flavor" and shoves something in his mouth and he just goes along with it and actually tries to guess

[@JaySay]

I love this community, because you can have millions of regular family folk who love cooking and eating, and then you also have people like Eric who not only go out of their way to meet with the guys in his hometown, (and give them a laugh and a good show!) but also has extensive knowledge and passion for what the boys are working on. Awesome stuff, I really love these travel vid's! A big thanks to all of Sorted, love you guys!

[@elisa.llew-send]

There’s something about you boys scouting cities with book bags that is so adorable. Loved the Bailey’s addition to the iced coffee - such a Spaff thing to do.

[@sarah.anneke3201]

Canadian here weighing in with my personal opinion about Jamie's poutine: He used cheese curds, so it passes the poutine test. There's been a lot of playing with expanding the toppings options from just the traditional curds and gravy, but without cheese curds, it's not right. (You can put any other variety of toppings on a poutine, but the moment you use shredded cheese, no matter how good the resulting food might be, it's not poutine, it's loaded fries) He gets a pass for not having gravy, since the beef spread thing was gravy-esque. But just barely.

[@amandacrawford7340]

can we also add on that he tried to not geographically place poutine. Jamie...poutine is canadian...do we need to have a chat? 😆

in a way it went closer the the Dutch/Turkish dish named Kapsalon. with is Düner kabab, fries, some green lettuce and what not. and it all covert with a slice of cheese and it melted under a grill.

Loved this episode, but my one critique is that the music was very loud when the crew were speaking, Mike's voice over was fine, but when Barry, Ben, and Jamie were talking to the viking reenactment guy the music was almost drowning them out.
