Get Jamie to control Ben on a traditional Japanese dish. I'd like to see Bens head explode because he would have to do stuff in a different way

[@AnimeCanuck]

Ooh, nice dish choice!!! I think I count at least 6 of us suggesting Jamie controlling Ben now... Japanese: NOT Ramen. (Maybe something with sushi, or sushi-like, like a sushi/seafood pizza, or okonomiyaki and a few sides?)

[@jonowee]

Wow, a torturous idea. Let's do it!

[@IkBenHetLekkerNiet]

Exactly!

[@tgwolf7575]

Nah. The best way to torture Ben would be to have Jamie control him in making what seems to be an over-complicated dish in a too short time limit, that then turns out to be a Fancy Big Mac and then force him to compare it to the original at the end. For added effect also have all the ingredients for a fish pie nearby. Have success be based on how well Ben follows Jamie's commands.

[@5PctJuice]

Baz's constant amazement throughout this episode was priceless. The look on his face when he realized James was reading his lips in real time, the reaction to James just casually cutting through an avocado stone, the fact that they didn't fuck up the cloud egg. Definitely a highlight episode for him.

[@Psychoti]

Imagine one of these where it's like a game of "telephone" like you used to play as kids. Chef (Ben or James, obviously), without being able to see what's going on, tells Barry or Mike what needs to be done, and they then have to relay that to the person that is actually cooking the dish, either Jamie or Barry. The chef can't see what's going on and can not receive any input or feedback from the person relaying the information onwards. The person relaying has to either remember what they say, or write it down on a provided (small) piece of paper while relaying information on. This is a sadistic challenge, and of course needs a chef to judge the final result. I'd love for James to be the one judging it, but I also enjoy videos when he's in them more, so I'd be fine with him being the blind & deaf chef to start.
