“ADVANCED TEAMWORK!!” Chef Skills Challenge | Sorted Food

The Ultimate Chef Skills Challenge is back for 2022 and today the 3 normals are being pushed to the limit with their Teamwork skills in another professional kitchen scenario. Well… we say ‘professional’ in the loosest possible term because it’s Ebbers’ Deli!! This time Advanced Teamwork badges are up for grabs.

[@SH-sq6pz]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we need a food safety badge. Temperatures, hand washing, cross contamination, not touching hair and face, reusing tasting spoons, proper cleansing of surfaces etc. I think the boys would melt down each time Ebbers makes a buzzer sound when the do something wrong 😂

[@scmombruh]

I'd love this to be a secret badge, though. Like, mention there's a secret badge up for grabs but they don't know what it is in the end. Maybe it could be something like not using more tools and bowls than you need, may be it's food safety. Maybe it's proper knife handling?

[@SH-sq6pz]

Oooh l love this idea. When I watch Barry (no hate) he is constantly touching his hair and his face and the ex restaurant cook in me cringes every time I see it.

[@sweetdeily]

food safety but bring back the electro shock buzzers!!!

[@TrippingtheBrightFantastic]

Yes! I cringed when I saw them cut the still raw in the middle chicken on the cutting board. I would have stopped after that and immediately washed the knife and board before continuing to use it, or at least gotten a clean board and knife. Maybe they did and it was edited out?

[@jessicab2202]

I know that a lot of things like washing hands, and washing dishes up, are edited out, but this would be a lot of fun!

Mike being shoved into the leader role, laughing about how it seems silly, is exactly how school group tasks go

[@Shadowreaper5]

Ok but despite that, he picked up the ball and rolled with it

[@sirBrouwer]

But then to notice that Barry first turned to Jamie for advice and not Mike. In a way showing that subconscious Barry sees Jamie as someone to follow from.

[@mattisme]

@@sirBrouwer probably because Jaime tends to act self confident even when he doesn't know what he's doing while Mike tends to lack self confidence even when he knows exactly what he's doing!

[@Tala_Masca]

@@mattisme yes exactly!!

[@sirBrouwer]

@@mattisme That I have noticed as well. I wonder if he could project that well enough to run the kitchen and manage others to do there work. In a way I would like all three to (try) run a kitchen with a small crew² where they only expedite and manage it hands off. (like a chef running his line crew) ² with a crew they don't know really. the boys know each other to well that they should be able to predict what may happen with person x.

“Sorry that you had no other choice, but to eat here.” We love the flamboyance 😂

[@BenjaminBroekhuizen]

Honestly, I feel the lads should be put in charge of the menu as well: just set a minimum of dishes per category and let them be smart about limiting the number of mise en place their menu would require.

[@DragonRiderShiru]

That would definitely be a great advanced badge

[@kilianortmann9979]

The menu badge.

[@Elyanley]

Maybe not for this challenge, but I think for another challenge, that would be absolutely top. One of the things Chefs always have to be smart about, is planning. How many ingredients can be repeated through the dishes, how easy is the preparation and how do I need to cook things down the line, that I dont have to have 5 pans on at the same time.. ..and that is just what I know off -laugh- So seeing them plan the stuff that I would not be able to wrap my head around enough, but that my Dad (he is a trained Chef) could do in his sleep.. it would be cool to see our chaotic trio tackle it^^

[@davidphelps5857]

That would be brilliant. So many things to get right. Can they get enough variety in the menu to please everyone without making it too complicated to prep and cook? Do they identify allergens in the dishes and know how to swap them out in need? Which ones are vegan and which ones can be made vegan/vegetarian on request? And with Ebbers judging we are guaranteed at least 1 table of fussy eaters will walk out because there is nothing on the menu to their liking.

[@franciscodetonne4797]

Remember, teamwork is ganging up against management! 🤣🤣🤣 Mike being thrust into leadership role is really good because he really knows how to lead! PS. Baz said Mike is the best communicator, I mean he's good with his mouth.

[@devin-mh2fj]

I think my only note is if this was a deli most of these would be to-go orders, particularly when mentioning the delivery app. I think seeing the boys handle a mix of "to-go" and "for here" because packaging everything up correctly as well is key

[@Midwoka]

I'd like to see them get a ~hidden~ test of teamwork skills, by doing a Pass It On and seeing how often they do prep work for the next person -- and losing points for how much they hide ingredients or leave problems for the others to solve later! =D Ben should probably go first and last, in that case (unless there's a James or Poppy to take one of those spots).

Barry’s Bougie Bistro sounds like a hell of a theme! I’d love to watch that. The challenge is to include 1 quirky or posh ingredient while keeping the price per menu items still competitive with market rates + prep time reasonable for dine in

I think Mike deserves some credit for taking on the leader role and constantly checking all prep was ticked off. Perhaps not advances leadership but definitely stood up to the plate in this one!

[@SortedFood]

He did really well.... however, it was a teamwork badge that was up for grabs. No "I" in team.

[@Rokurokubi83]

@@SortedFood sure, but teamwork is stronger with defined roles, Mike seemed to be key to making sure everyone had a role, all tasks were completed andto ensure help was there for anybody struggling. Sure he didn’t have all the answers, but that’s not a leader does, a leader is the oil in the machine that keeps the whole team on purpose and reminds them they’re not competing against each other but competing as a team to be the best collectively. He was rough around the edges, and I’m sure there were many things I didn’t see before the video was edited, but I think he deserves some recognition for his contribution.

[@lucaschatterton9696]

Genuinely love this format. I fell in love with Sorted watching the lads always competing against each other, and while I don't want to see ultimate battles or anything go away, seeing them work together on challenges like this is very fun in an entirely different way.

[@vaibhavguptawho]

I was watching the beginner teamwork video today and I remarked on how I love the teamwork rather than the sabotage, so I'm very happy to see more of that today. This is an excellent pre-final exam type challenge and I'm glad they've all improved enough where they can understand where they came up short. Really excited to see them reattempt this challenge in a few months and succeed.

[@nandinibhatnagar24]

When Jamie said "conquer and divide" (divide and conquer) , my brain went "ah, such a British thing to say "😉

[@espyboy]

I think I agree with Ben ngl. Advanced teamwork definitely comes with experience so maybe after one or two or twenty more tries, the boys may be able to snatch up the badge.

[@monkeykoder]

I'd love to see the team do a pop up food truck sort of thing. The food team comes up with the menu and trains the normals and they have to pull it off with Ebbers barking orders at them.

[@tapeshaft]

Shout out to making safety the start of this ep! It's so fundamental, but often winds up being the first thing to start suffering when pressure piles on! Good job everyone, it's fun to watch you all struggle and improve!

[@samiorigami]

I think Jamie earned a badge. He gave criticism well (about garlic) with additional instructions, helped with questions (the mayo), communicated clearly about prep work (about "rare" chicken), and assisted when others fell behind (adding chicken to the soup). His only error in the video was ONE panini didn't have the amount of meat you wanted (a rare mistake from Jamie) but it has nothing to do with teamwork!

[@nathantate1144]

I Iove that this series shows that Barry was always using Jamie as a scapegoat in previous years, especially on pass it ons.

[@demonicbunny3po]

Good team work. And it sounds like a mixology badge is around the corner. On a different note, a consistency badge would be a good idea. In my time in the food service, consistency was a very important aspect of the business. Might I suggest pizzas be used as a test bed? Consistent stretch size, consistent number of pepperonis, consistent amount of cheese, etc. Every customer should get the same thing when they order and each time they order it on different days it should be the same, so a multi day badge to check for how consistent they can work.

[@MaZEEZaM]

Great idea, or even a toasted sandwich bar setup as I noted the sandwiches were only toasted on one side and not heated through the thick slices of cheese. I've also, previously worked in a Cafe and one of my main roles was to prepare the sandwich bar, slice all the veggies and get everything out and ready to make a ton of toasted and non-toasted sandwiches. Consistency and cleanliness were extremely important.

[@MaZEEZaM]

BTW, I'm guessing you're American based on the pepperoni, I don't think anywhere makes that iconic pepperoni pizzas in Australia, plus I'm pretty sure that's what we call salami but I would be happy to be corrected by a fellow Australian if I'm wrong? Our pizzas are nowhere near as large as American pizzas, the huge size is a comical highlight for Aussie tourists in America, instead, we usually add a lot more toppings, the margarita being the exception, our bases tend to be thicker but it depends where you buy them, the wood fired oven pizzas tend to be thin. Oh and a pizza isn't a pizza without pineapple 😋

[@demonicbunny3po]

@@MaZEEZaM I am American and have never been to Australia. As for Pepperoni vs Salami, here there are differences. Salamis tend to be thicker cured sausages with a pink color and a different flavor profile compared to skinnier, redder pepperoni. And I do like pineapple on pizza as well. Particularly with pork products like ham or bacon. Sweet and salty works well.

[@jesmiscellaneous8938]

Great idea on consistency badge!

[@richardcoleman3425]

I love Barry so very much more for getting the "two soups" reference!!! Kudos to you, Dude! You're a class act! :)

[@yvettesalinas3588]

As someone who has worked in a deli for the last 5 years and offers a similar menu with grain bowls, soups, sandwiches and more, they did great! It was a bit unfair because if you are working in a cafe you know what to make , how to make it, how it should look and how to do it in a timely manner. The communication does definitely come in with the repetition and knowing what your doing and what's going on. I think they deserve either a badge or a second chance with the same menu.

[@Rhapsody_Sky]

How about a "know your tools" badge where everybody has to prepare a dish and they can select the tools to cook it. Valued is the right tool for the job, if it adds something special or is just convenience and so on...

[@PawsitivelyQuestionable]

[@danaberry6207]

Safety in the kitchen is essential. Taste is subjective and presentation is basic, it is a deli after all. I only agree with Ebbers over the safety issue. Question, did Baz leave an element on, on the stove causing the soup to thicken? I think the boys did a fairly decent job. 6/10

[@tracelii9016]

I think between bits of what we've seen today and the 3 course french meal they did a few weeks back maybe Jamie needs a chance at the wheel! He seems like if he gets all of his braincells in a row he could be really good at leading a challenge like this!

4:26 The look of disgust on Ebber's face is priceless.

I think Barry really needs to get lessons in time management because this is now the third time he’s serving stuff after time limit

[@baileeolson3539]

I definitely agree that it wasn’t quite badge worthy this time but still impressive work. Can’t wait to see them try it again and hopefully improve even more! Nice job boys 👍

[@wuffles101]

I'd love for them to get to watch a real shift with James, take notes and then use what they learned to do a real restaurant shift... Maybe for charity ?

[@ziruini5071]

I think the chef(s) should do one of these! would be really interesting to see how they tackle it

[@damionlee7658]

Jamie casually slipping in the Adelli dad joke was a welcome call back... I've been missing the old Fridge Cam Dad Joke of the Week.

It would be cool if they can ‘upgrade’ their badges, sort of like ‘Gilding’ the badges to tier 2 or something ya know? Or platinum badge or badges that once gilded is safe and won’t be rescinded but the criteria of earning it is extremely strict

No lie I'd love to see more of Ben commanding the normals in a kitchen like setting!

[@dreadwing01]

I love these badge challenges as always you guys are awesome. I personally have learned from your videos and passed it on to my kids who help in the kitchen from time to time.

[@Fenyally]

i absolutely LOVE this series of ben's restaurants, i hope these teamwork challenges continue!!

[@secretforreddit]

Oh boy, this sounds potential extremely chaotic. Love it already!

[@squaminator]

Jamie and Mike definitely deserve a teamwork badge for how much they carried Barry

[@tazalinlm]

I love love love this type of video. It's so fun and great to see how everything comes together.

This format is brilliant. I loved the breakfast one and expect this to be just as good.
