Can we Create Baz’s 'Dream Menu' from just 13 Questions? (CHALLENGE)

[@sophiekampitsch829]

Ben and mike worked so well together and it was lovely to see Mike that relaxed and confident 😊

[@shavranotheferanox7809]

definitly a great break after binging a few of the series where he creates his huttlestorm

[@PaleGirl]

He's such a good cook when he doesn't have that time pressure. He needs to know this!

[@wildewynd]

Had an idea to torment, I mean, test the normals: 6 ingredient challenge but with a twist. Let them buy their 6 ingredients for a dish and then make them choose 2 ingredients to keep and pass the other 4 to the next guy. Then they pick another 2 and pass the remaining 2 to the final guy. That way, they each get 6 ingredients: 2 they wanted, 2 they can work with, and 2 wild cards.

[@SortedFood]

This is such a good idea, love it. I'll pass this onto the production team. Hayley @ Team Sorted

[@BifrostX11]

​@@SortedFoodCan't wait to see how it goes 😆

[@koroxus]

That sounds awesome

[@andrewsimmonds4770]

Banging idea this

[@auntlynnie]

Great idea!

[@valliarlette6596]

So nice to watch Mike cooking without pressure. Always nice to watch Ben being a chef.

[@JeffKotz]

Well said

[@andieluke1366]

The cocktail Mike came up with sounded soooo good!

[@jeanneferguson7124]

Mike really seemed to be in his element and the "Huddle-storms" might jst be a thing of the past! Bravo!

[@cloverhighfive]

The combo Mike-Ben in the kitchen is very wholesome. Mike is confident and efficient! The energy of the storm well used! And Ben looked a bit less... fidgety? They are so fluid together! Kudos on the sprig... of fennel!

[@itarry4]

Mike also keeps Ben from going a bit to far with the innuendos and double meanings. Honestly though they all work as any pair or whatever combination they want to do. It's so obvious that it's a group of good mates who have been mates for a long time before the show even existed who all just happen to have the same passion for food of all types and tastes. It works so much better than those channels or shows where they've been put together and might have become friends over time but just don't have the connection that this lot has. You can see and hear the fact that they're truly best mates who really care about each other and get along as only best mates can.

[@kylehenson5740]

I didn’t expect it to be this relaxing and refreshing to see the guys cooking a nice meal for another without it being a competition or having overly challenging restrictions. Just allowing them too cook the best menu they can based off what they think one their mates would enjoy. It’s nice to see their full talents on display without the panic or fear added from a challenge.

[@Sophie703]

Same. I really enjoyed this video. Their thoughtfulness and friendship really shines though. (Although I do love me some chaotic battles & pass it ons too)

[@icechiang]

You can tell that the lads are all old friends. They have genuine fondness for one another while they gleefully, yet lovingly, mock each other terribly. And you really have to be good friends to go through all this effort to make a nice meal for each other. I cannot wait to see the others dream menus and their question responses, hope you guys do that. And Ben was on point for the jokes today! Thank you for such a nice video!

[@SortedFood]

So glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching!

[@HolaMindy]

My thoughts exactly. This was a really loving project.

[@RiverDanube]

Barry is in his element. He loves it when his mates spoil him and his smile is infectious.

[@MeadowFox]

Indeed, Barry dragged two chefs to the top of a mountain just to feed him. He does love to be spoiled. 😂 (And I think his pals get joy from bestowing this love language, so it is very sweet and wholesome all around.)

[@janmay3901]

Well he should be celebrated for being the mind who came up with Sorted!

[@misterkayy]

​@@janmay3901he's just so full of ideas

[@yiqingtan4079]

8:00 "A blank canvas open for creativity" Absolutely love how generous Ben was when he described Barry and it didn't take him a second. #friendshipgoals

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

Ben comes across as having a lot of genuine respect for Barry. I have heard him acknowledge/compliment Barry's creativity before, in various interviews. I remember in one he sounded really in awe about Barry's "ability to spot opportunities" when talking about their beer (mis)adventure. The way Ben tells it, it sounds like Barry is kinda the one who always comes up with whacky ideas and then drives right into __making them happen__ - starting from asking Ben to make a cookbook with him, which ultimately became the Sorted we know today.

[@Sunnylyndis]

@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790 Agreed. I also think they have a huge amount of respect for each other. Sure they nip at each other and crack jokes, but there is no way they could do this for so long without genuine care and understanding of each other's strengths.

[@sefribu4159]

Indeed, especially when you take in consideration that Barry appears to be more the way that Mike hints at in most videos. I can´t say how often i´ve been watching a video and started shouting at the screen when the words "my thinking is...." came out of Barry´s mouth. most of the times with "debatable" results that followed said "thinking"...

[@bubbapuddles]

I love watching a normal and chef work in the kitchen together without any kind of competition. It's a nice change of pace.❤

[@Mandyxthexevil]

I fully agree. ❤

[@Getpojke]

Plus Mike really held his own (Ooer Mrs) with Ben. Confident & no Huttlestorm. Just made excellent choices & food/drink.

[@incasewediemylove]

That's exactly what I thought! Amazing!

[@RedRose1010100]

It's got Big Night In energy 😊

[@Raina111111]

Always love the little direct admittances that the guys care about each other, such as Ben while he shelled the beans. It's just nice when people aren't afraid to admit they give a damn about others. I want to see the normals try to do this challenge for Ben tbh.

[@ExtraTerrestrialDust]

Yeah, this video is pure love, people spending hours working and so much effort on a gift for someone they care about and being happy while doing it ^^

[@Aritul]

100% agree. Their friendship is the reason I keep coming back to this channel.

[@Anna_TravelsByRail]

That moment you realise your friend set the perfect trap for you. Barry’s reaction to smooth or rough is just too funny. 😂

[@SortedFood]

Poor Barry 😂

[@Anna_TravelsByRail]

@@SortedFood yep, he walked right into that one. 😂

[@fwhagads]

@@Anna_TravelsByRail not that he had a choice mind you. Either way, he had to answer. For example, if he said smooth, it wouldn't be much better.

[@emeleel]

Gotta say, it's a treat to see Mike cooking without a time limit, just poised and having fun and nary a Huttlestorm in sight!

[@lynnettejohns4733]

It was like watching an orchestra. Ben and Mike were so in tune with each other. I think Barry almost cried with delight.

[@Dawn.Friesen]

I think Barry mentioned it once offhandedly in a previous video, about how fascinating it was to just watch Ben in his element in the kitchen, and that's pretty much how I felt about both Ben and Mike in this video. The efficiency and economy of movement of both a professional chef and of two people who are comfortable working together in a kitchen space was just a joy to watch. With such a delightful outcome!

[@generalred6260]

I feel like Jamie would be really easy to do this type of video for... but i'd still love to see the team go overboard to try and get a menu for him.

[@SortedFood]

We all know what Jamie's dream main dish would be haha.

[@Getpojke]

Bacon wrapped steak with chips, bacon & whisky cocktail & a bacon cheeseburger for afters?😂

[@AnymMusic]

​@@Getpojke don't forget to bacon wrap the chips

[@Vegie007]

​@@SortedFood what if all his dishes were flavoured around the questions but styled like all his disasters. So the starter could be styled like a juicy lucy slider and the main looks like a burrito stuffed with not-paella.

[@ragnaice]

@@Getpojke where do you fit in the chorizo?

[@z_the_world]

It is so nice to see Mike and Ben working together in the kitchen without a competition or a time crunch cause it looks so calm. I laughed when it took Mike a few seconds to fully understand what Ben said about the pasta and Barry

[@AuntK68]

The chaos of Pass It On is always fun to watch, but it's nice to see the two guys working together in a relaxed atmosphere for a change. And that main dish looks wonderful!

[@JeffKotz]

Wow. Had exactly this thought.

[@TheHasaanM]

This was really fun and relaxing to watch seeing Ben and Mike just cook together like this, especially Mike all calm and confident here

[@sophykitten2212]

It's so nice to see the boys doing something playful that has the end goal of nothing but happiness for one of them. 😊

[@oakabielb5406]

The innuendos in this episode were absolutely shameless. Love it 😂

[@AzleeBarasuri]

I was looking for this comment, they were unhinged !!! And i loved it of course

[@Random84530]

Barry likes to be stuffed (20:10) with a massive wedge of sourdough (20:18) preferably roughly (0:36).

[@cassandrakarpinski9416]

Its not an innuendo on sorted. Since they all involve ebbers, they are ben-nuendos

[@noidreamers]

"just like Barry's belly button" is the most iconic for me 🤣 (12:58)

[@HopelessSinner]

8:47. Just the tip....!😮

[@WondrousPurple]

I'm loving the variety of content you're producing: This Q&A to suss out Baz's dream dish, the roundtable discussion, the hamburger challenge, the Around the World by Alphabet challenge, the travel to the Alps. Wonderful variety, and I love that these episodes are being spread throughout. Sorted Food evolves again!

[@alexdavis5766]

You should make one of those 90’s styles flow down quizzes like you found in magazines for viewers to answer and find what you would say if their best dish based on the answers. Used to love those when I was younger!

[@SortedFood]

They were so much fun!

[@Anna_TravelsByRail]

Oooh excellent idea!

[@lepusmalignis1628]

My favorite part of this was the camaraderie between the players. There was no pranking or gotchas, just friends cooking for friends. Thank you for a positive video to offset the gray, rainy day hereabouts.

[@sircharles1808]

Loved seeing Mike and Ben work together on this. I feel like do Mike's Menu next with Ben and Jaimie, then Jaimie's with Ben and Barry then all three Normals work together on Bens dream menu.

[@thelorak2494]

This is perfect!

[@charleyh.553]

It might be fun to have Kush and James create for Ben too. Or have them control the menu but the normals make it, lol.

[@rickyspanish492]

This was an especially enjoyable episode and I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I was thinking maybe since it was less chaos, Ben and Mike have really good chemisty together, as well as you guys just going all out to make a friend (Barry) their dream menu which is so wholesome and thoughtful. Thanks for the content! 😊

[@alexandriadsh]

The absolute joy on Barry's face at each bite is delightful to see. At the end, when he takes another bite of the pasta, and he's blown away again. Love to see it. There is a certain satisfaction that comes from watching someone that knows and does their job well performing those tasks. Watching Ben cook is like that. I could watch it for ages. Mike's exuberance and delight at each stage turning out exactly like he wanted and it tasting so good. *chef's kiss*

[@finian2]

I love the chill vibe of this one. No high intensity battle or timeframe, just two dudes having fun cooking

[@nikkicoyotie8431]

I'm REALLY curious what Mike's dream menu would be

[@georkost]

Despite all the "nice" words, I really like how much love goes in this menu ❤️ Excellent idea, I hope you will make one menu for each of you!

[@mynameisneda]

Absolutely loved seeing Ben and Mike cooking together in this video, the chemistry and teamwork was super satisfying to watch! Definitely bring this format back, would love to see more of it!

[@thorbjoernmaadhengis9644]

It was really great to see Mike and Ebbers working together in a calm environment to produce great food!

[@frenchfriar]

I definitely want to see Mike get the same treatment you just gave Baz. Mike seems to be almost as finicky as Barry, so he'd be difficult to cook for, and I'd love to see his reaction when you get it right. This was great fun, I'd love to see each of you get treated this way eventually. Fantastic idea!

[@nat3007]

Im not so sure he liked the mint chocolate cheese.

[@deborahelias5109]

Love the "Dream Menu" concept. You could do it with breakfast, lunch, dinner, holiday, etc. Great idea.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I love there is no time limit and the guys can relax and enjoy the idea of creation. I also love the back stories of the friends and Sorted

[@yiqingtan4079]

Omg I absolutely love this idea about cooking with a specific person in mind. I know it's a format but I can feel the care and love you guys have for Barry. It's something special, this is.

[@aidenfallon9767]

I’d love to see the normals try to do this together for Ben maybe take on a course each: starter, main, dessert and a drink if they feel brave 😂😂

[@BigFoodieGeek]

I love this idea! I hope you do one for everyone, including Kush. He's always making beautiful dishes for everyone, I think he deserves one too.

[@hardtech87]

I love that fact we are getting a bunch of new show concepts lately. I'm guessing a lot of these came out of the big planning meeting you were posting about a few weeks back. I would like to see some "back to basic" style videos at some point. Maybe short 5 minute videos covering some of the basic theory of cooking for those who watch the channel but aren't as active in the kitchen themselves (like me :-p)

[@o0superflu0o]

Watching Barry with the cocktail made me unreasonably happy. He truly was in his element there. Such a sweet and wholesome video, can't wait to see more of them (a lot more, if possible).

[@MissClickKatie]

i love seeing Ben just *be a chef* as silly as that sounds. He's so in his element in the kitchen and this being all for a best friend is just so lovely to see ❤

[@minebrosfinest]

Pretty great to see Mike and Ben in the kitchen together. Super chill fun pairing

[@jklbligh]

I love seeing them cook/create without a time constraint.

[@caseypatterson7030]

The immediate "what? no!" look on Barry's face when he was told to put down the cocktail at 16:54 is all the proof of it being a 10/10 that you need.

[@tenakeefe6293]

This was lovely! Calm cooking, great food, lots of explanations, and caring friends. Mike is such a good influence in the kitchen !! I vote that you try and cook Ben's favourite, because I cannot be the only one who wants to hear him say if he likes it rough or smooth. 😛

[@morphman86]

While the rest of UK is pledging allegiance to the new king, Sorted is here going "We're going to boil Barry's cockles"

[@WoodsideLegacy]

They're spoiling the King of Pretentious. Seems like a good choice of video to release now.

[@MetalheadAndNerd]

And no-one seems to mention how incredibly progressive it is that the new queen is a man.

[@Embarblaze]

I really hope that you guys do this with Mike. I mean we know his menu will be some sort of fried chicken and Prosecco will be involved somewhere, but he’s my favorite so I want him to get more attention😊

[@JeffKotz]

This is a heart-warming contrast to content like Pass It On. A couple of mates “cooking with love,” as it were. I also think Mike is especially charming throughout. Menu looks dope, whoever it’s for. I’m loving the new May formats.

[@xxPenjoxx]

It's probably my favourite Sorted video you've done this year. Loved all the cooking, with lots of bennuendos, of course

[@briandstephmoore4910]

All Barry wants is a smile and to leave Stuffed 🤣

[@SortedFood]

Damn straight! The simple things in life 😀

[@andieluke1366]

If there were this many Bennuendos for a made-for-Baz meal, imagine how much crazier the double entendres would get if the boys made one for Ben 😂

[@heindepaauw4886]

Another great new release! Loved the "randomness" of the questions. Brilliant execution in the kitchen. It was great seeing the chemistry between Ben and Mike and also to see them work and improve along the way, without the rush of a timer. Looking forward to another one of these for the next member of the Sorted Gang.

[@LyneaFlynn]

This format just felt like a blanket of happiness for all sides. A wonderful detour from the usual challenge stress!

Now, I really want to see you all do Jamie's dream menu. The man is so big on flavor that I think it'd be an amazing one to see done.

[@g_mixesajl293]

This is honestly my favorite video yet, Barry’s genuine enthusiasm to his friends making him an amazing plate of food and Jamie and Ben’s warm smiles in return just gives off the best vibes!

[@JohannaInTheCorner]

Did you just come up with a new series that involves travelling here? U.K., county by county, using local ingredients and regional specialties. Either alphabetically or geographically. You’ll do your travelling in a controlled manner, you get to talk up home nation cooking, and introduce plenty of alternatives to pies in rolls!

[@lexipotato]

Was actually really nice to just see what Ben does best, and that's cooking. Seeing how he just looks at something and knows what will work with it

[@Shift12]

How can it be his dream menu if you haven't given him a cloud egg?😂 gotta admit looks damn good though

[@rachels2742]

I was thinking this too! 😂

[@jeanneferguson7124]

Those damned cloud eggs would've been a hilarious addition, I must admit!

[@ladyT_VR46]

Mike and Ebbers is the type of combination that I never realised I SO needed 🎉😁

[@tastymedleys]

What a fun idea! I'd love to see this as a mini series where we get Jamie helping to make Mike's menu, then Barry helping make Jamie's, then if he's willing maybe Kush+someone (or everyone) make Ben's? And Ben+someone could make Kush a menu too in return!

[@popsock1]

Ooh, I really enjoyed this episode. Lovely to see cooking not under pressure, duress or with a twist, but purely with the aim to make something that’s going to really please a mate’s tastes. Thought the quiz was a nice starting point 😊 Also got to give it (no innuendo intended here) to Ebbers for the never ending stream of innuendos 😂

[@kmbarnett1200]

What a joy to see the Sorted boys be actual mates for once! So refreshing to watch!

[@Mandyxthexevil]

Love this format. It showcases how to come up with a unique meal based upon the person you are cooking for in a great way. A skill everyone who cooks needs to learn. :)

[@swissfoodie3542]

You guys are absolutely amazing ! The creactivity you come up with, the ideas you have, its really fantastic. I love the cooking and all the ideas I get from it, but even more, I like the humor (like Ben asking Barry 13 questions) and the friendship.

[@does_he_avocado]

I think the boys, especially Ben forgets where he is sometimes and that the cameras are rolling… oh to be a fly on the wall in his house I think it would be hilarious. The chemistry between them all is amazing. Really great concept and video guys
