JAMES IS OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE!! | Sub-10 Minute Burger Challenge Ep. 14 | Sorted Food

[@SortedFood]

Hi peeps.... we're sorry but the questions on screen don't match up with the questions asked! Apologies for this! Please ignore the text questions on the screen. Enjoy James and the vid :)

[@thehairystargazer]

Sounds like it really was a wild weekend 🤣

[@wookfoot8408]

Someone had a bit too much prosecco did we?

[@SortedFood]

You know it 😜

[@CAP198462]

I think NaCl is the empirical formula you were looking for James.

[@epixnw2293]

I thought they were just messing with him with harder questions lmao but then they didn’t give him his lettuce

[@auraofem]

I think it would be fun to see a Pass it On but with Ben, James, and Kush!

[@MatthewWaltonWalton]

Both Bens!!

[@RyanRex]

Please, this needs to happen. But to add some chaos, 5- minute turns, 3 turns each. Experts, forced to accomplish something as well as understand what has happened, in very short sequences.

[@TaglessRussell]

I'll watch it 1M times if that helps, that is how KZbin works right?

[@JohnGarrettHudson]

I want to see Chef edit pass it on with Ebbers, James, Kush, and Slater. Or maybe like an old school concept battle?

[@taliesinllanfair4338]

Always love when James returns. He has so much integrity and high standards. He didn't 'finger the pickles' and brought better tomatoes and lettuce. Big plays.

[@Drnaynay]

Fingering the pickles has taken on a life of its own. No relation to integrity.

[@cathpalug1221]

​@@Drnaynayliterally and figuratively

[@adolphusputin-5605]

Haha his face after being introduced. Never knew i missed that awkward grin but yes, i definitely missed it :) Welcome back James

[@SortedFood]

It was good to have him back :)

[@BooTeaCheeks]

I miss James. He always brought a sort of indescribable balance to the team. I'm so grateful that you guys bring him back. As the channel grows and more people watch, newer viewers won't recognize him as much, but it means so much to those of us who have been around a while! Also, the way Barry dotes on him is adorable! You can tell how misses and cherished James is to Sorted! Lastly, while all the burgers have looked amazing so far, James looked PHENOMENAL. So juicy, and with the raw onions! He always brings the best.

[@laurenwest3090]

Na, he's just miserable

[@JaySay]

​@@laurenwest3090That is a very misguided opinion that you share with almost no one here... You're getting it mixed up; just because James is more sassy and a bit blunt with his humor doesn't mean he's miserable... Where are you getting _that_ from? Look at how much he's smiling and laughing being back with everyone on the channel. And every single one of them complain about pressure on camera, and how bad some formats are, so it's not even a matter of pessimism with that. Just look at the last few vid's he was in with everyone before leaving, especially the sit down one where they talk about his future. He seems like a genuinely good friend with a sense of humor to me.

[@parvanaturalia]

Agree that James *is* juicy. Silliness, however true, aside tho, I do miss James sometimes as well! It's always nice to see him back every once in a while.

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

@@parvanaturalialol YES James is juicy

[@agriffino]

He seems more zen now. But "WHERE'S THE DISH?!" will forever be stuck in my head :D

[@novellahickmannh]

That was a classic.

[@Timmycoo]

I love that James has such a big fanbase on this channel lol. He's a great character. "I've been stripped of the jacket... not like that". Lmao Mike's reaction to getting kicked off the podium.

[@WingRocka]

Hell yeah, glad to see James returning for probably the most chaotic burger challenge he’s ever done.

[@nancycurtis7315]

I think James just found out how much we've missed him! I adore all of you, but having a guest appearance by him every now and then, is a special treat for us. It's the whole team again for a few minutes. The burger is great, too! Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.

[@toni_go96]

I love seeing James back here. It's just so wholesome. It's also just the sass and sarcasm we've been missing. Also Barry completely dragging James for the video that wasn't released and then Mike defending him cuz he was unwell - it's like they're actual brothers. And Kush's classic sabotage! Yet, the chefs solidarity of not fingering the pickles. Kush coming in to eat the last quarter. I love the dynamic between Kush and James! It was just cruel to call Mike in just to tell him he's off the podium. 😂😂😂

[@Linkolod]

I'm so glad that James brought his own lettuce and tomatoes. In his reappearance, he, of course, had to go full James

[@nandithanair6578]

@1betterthanyou1it’s really not that serious lol

[@heidiallen824]

I missed James and the chemistry he adds to the group. Glad that he gets to pop in here and there still!

[@stephvalderrama]

I love that you bring the ginger chef back so often. I love seeing that you are all real friends keep up the amazing work lads

[@SortedFood]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@ninthusiva7546]

​@@SortedFood too bad you hired kesh/kash/watever.. no one is as good as Mr.Curry

[@megamert2848]

@@ninthusiva7546Besides the fact that this is completely uncalled for, you are missing 2 things, 1 I believe Kush was already working at sorted long before James left, 2 James decided himself to leave because he wanted a different challenge in a restaurant so Kush being there had nothing to do with it.

[@beepboop9464]

​@@ninthusiva7546 James chose to leave and I believe Kush has worked there since well before James left. He was just more behind the scenes.

[@michaelfoley906]

​@@ninthusiva7546dick comment, but if you cared to look then you'd see James left after Kush arrived. And Kush has a CV that actually exceeds any of the other chefs on sorted.

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

I am looking forward to seeing James throw shade at Kush's choice of lettuce, all over again 😂 That was one of the more hilarious parts of the wild weekender! I wish Kush was mic-ed up so we could hear his reaction!

[@SortedFood]

Haha so glad you enjoyed it!

[@HTMLguruLady2]

So wonderful to have James back on camera! I love how when everyone else made their burgers, Jamie especially, seem so stressed and freaked out while cooking, not to mention made a disaster of the kitchen... Then there's James. Calmly cooking his burger taking his time making sure everything is correct and even thinking about cleaning up the kitchen as he goes. He was cool as a cucumber, and still came in high on the leaderboard. And there's the difference between a professional Chef and someone like Jamie, who is a very very average home cook. Welcome back to the kitchen James. We hope you stay awhile!

[@Francklyynnnn]

"A *very* average home cook" Geez, poor Jamie

[@nutofjong]

Okay now you HAVE to show up the video of James being mega grumpy you can't just tease us like that

[@whitehouseapw]

I went to school with James, we were in the same food tech class! Glad to see him doing so well. 🤗

[@padders1068]

Brilliant! So good to see James back, I and I'm sure many others do miss him! Great work James & Sorted Team! ❤

[@SortedFood]

So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@segoi11]

YES! I've been waiting for James' burger ep. Love how they basically polished his burger off. Of course, now I want to see the episode with a really pissed off James.

[@Arcadia61]

We all do!

[@mathildesarthou1368]

James' 3 minutes felt somehow longer than Spaff's... but... in a good way ! Idk he was so chill the whole time, loved it 😘

[@rulitossimplyrulitos1088]

I wish a chefs special video with Kush-Ebbers-James doing a little competition. Pass it On - chefs version. I wonder if I promise to behave, Santa will make my wish come true?

[@margaretmcdowell7052]

Great idea!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

I’m so happy that you showed us james but Please guys! Bring poppy for the challenge! She’s so iconic and I’m dying to see mash in a burguer, a potato patty, fries in it or if we’re lucky all of them!

[@BIFFALA]

YESSS WE NEED POPPY!!

[@namantherockstar]

James inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...

[@aricbuckholt293]

Always love it when James comes back to visit! I'm still waiting for a 3 chef - 3 normal pass it on. Not sure on the challenge, but the order would be James, Ben, Kush, Barry, Jamie, Mike.....chefs to open and normals to finish 😀

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Omg I just feel like the contrast between James and kush would make the episode be so unhinged and I LOVE IT

[@Paulo-ju7nw]

The HANDSOME of the handsomes, how sweet is to see him on screen! How can we not love his kind sweet angry cute way ❤ Thanks for been back! I Always! I And Jamie and Barry very nice comments on his arms ❤

[@johncurrie8719]

Nice to see my wee nephew back. Great job James.

[@Iosis4818]

I understand why you kept Mike ´s and James ´ s challenge for the Wild Weekender. But it ´s nice you shared the footage here guys.Thank you ✌️

[@gregmunro1137]

It was wonderful to see James back!!! I hope we continue to see more of him

[@scottrhodes8160]

Good to see the big guy! I really like how James can maintain an aura of dignity when Baary and Jamie are egging him on.

[@ayansharma8281]

It's so refreshing to watch james once again in here. And his gleeful demeanor was Cherry on top

[@garfield6323]

i'd like to live in a reality where james saying he's made thousands of burgers while hes been gone means that he works at mcdonalds now just to spite ben

[@beverleynunes2795]

That's what I thought and wondered where he actually works now 🤔

[@Simon_Laserna]

Always a blessing to watch some videos with James. You all have such a fun vibrance and great banter!

[@SnarkyRogue]

I've missed James dearly. Always glad to see him pop up again here and there

[@jdknows8314]

Everytime you guys do wild weekender content, I get excited for the next live event. The whole weekend was so much fun to watch. Great job to all involved!

[@glockenrein]

I really want to see grumpy James cook for The Rock now. Please please go looking in the archives.

[@unchartedsteppes7138]

the dynamic between Kush and James is so beautiful. If only we knew what went on behind the scenes between them.

[@adriennetochter6873]

Kush sweeping in to to take the last quarter! 🤣 Great to see James again. That burger looks so tasty!

[@LeeLee86]

I love love love Kush and Slater in the videos now the dynamics between all of y’all are great but it is definitely great to have Mr. James Currie himself back and on camera again!! We miss you and all your grumpiness 😘 James!! ❤

[@kayloubritton1110]

Love watching all you guys! Missed James when he left, & wish he would come back full-time!

[@calliedaly1940]

Ya!!!! So damn happy to see James again!!! 💖💖💖 Someone give Mike a hug!

[@justkickitsfaceoff]

Great to see James back, you are missed dude. The hug you got from Jamie at the end of the cook says it all. ❤️

[@kaziticus4308]

Yay! I was literally just watching a sassy James compilation, and then my YT popup said he was back for a new video!

[@SortedFood]

Love it when that happens!

[@JohnGarrettHudson]

“So Currie Classie?” Dude, Jamie that was snappy sharp lol! 😂

[@trill5174]

Absolutely love Kush, he's amazing, but nice to see James again, been a long time!

[@LadyRenira]

Thanks for posting this! I totally didn't have a chance to watch Sunday's show and was kicking myself when I remembered...a day late, lol. Awesome showing by James despite the panicked loss of the cooked onion. :)

[@nicholascrow8133]

Finally the one we were waiting for! Chef's/cooks I would love to see do this, Internationally (I.e probably not possible) Joshua Weissman, Guga, Alex french guy cooking. Closer to home, Elizabeth Haigh and of course Uncle Rodger! Bonus points if you got Jamie OIiver and Gordon in!

[@doctordre005]

its always a blast when James is here Part of it maybe because of the nostalgia factor as he is one of the OGs But the dynamic between all of you are just something to look forward to

[@user-jp8ns7tm1z]

Yaaaaaay king sass is back. Seriously, so good to catch up with James who seems very happy. Great job but surely the burger should be 'Guns in Buns'?! 😊 Mike's podium shuffle off should be a Meme.

[@peterdzvonik8289]

Thank you so much guys for bringing this to KZbin for everyone to see for free, even tho the event itself was paid. Legends 🙌❤

[@scrossley8583]

I've been hoping for this one!! But I'm genuinely shocked that the questions weren't things like "which of us do you miss the most?"

[@Aritul]

Always good to see James back.

[@Nasalkeihpos]

Ooo now I know what I want to have for lunch/supper/dinner. I usually add butter to my patty - but the beef dripping is amazing! I don’t know why it hadn’t occurred to me before

[@maxobremer]

Fun to see James back, but the questions on the screen didn't line up with the actual questions asked. Or did I miss something that would explain it?

[@blisswonder]

That is what I thought also but maybe since it was a live event those were questions for chat. Or yeah it could have just been last moment changes.

[@devenbhakta]

It was because this wild weekender was live-streamed. The crew had to edit this live and didn’t catch these mistakes maybe. That’s my guess

[@LoganTO87]

I think these may have been old questions too? I think the fishy newsletter was from a previous challenge

[@beepboop9464]

They just pinned a comment to the top of the video apologizing for the questions not matching up.

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

​@@LoganTO87Yup these are Lagom Chef's questions! That fishy one sounded familiar to me too, so went and looked it up (the second question meant it was either the potato queen Poppy, or a sustainability related content creator, so was easy to narrow it down!) But it's not a live show issue, they didn't have the cards on the show. Someone messed up the edit, I think!

[@evamuhlhause]

I adore Kush but it's also lovely to see James again.

[@ChrisWhiteAroundTheGround]

James has never been replaced in my view. Great video. 🙂

[@shazypops]

It's time to get the Beefy Boys on here for this challenge!!! They are, after all, the world's best burger makers 😉

[@SortedFood]

Great shout!

[@GarrethMorgan]

Always love to see James back on screen! Bet that burger was really delicious.

[@jbmaximus6910]

I always enjoy james being a guest? I remember when he was a regular and enjoyed watching him then. Thank you

[@bettypaquette1904]

Lovely to see James return to Sorted. I hope we will see more of him in upcoming videos. Fun! :)

[@jamieshelton2682]

Every time I see James, I will sprint to the video ❤

[@feezahhab3120]

I'm so happy you guys decided to show the Ginger Chef sub ten burger challenge 😭 I missed him so much

[@laineski26]

I don't know if others do this, but I always mix chopped onions in ground beef before I grill them.

[@sarahc4004]

This just had the best vibes! I love seeing everyone (and especially james!) have so much fun.

[@Lollygag_X]

I miss James so much❤. He was (and still is, I imagine) a great chef, had the dry, calm humour that balanced the other's wackiness.

[@JordonBeal]

Ben in the far background yelling “he likes a fatty burger” killed me😅

[@HelloimCindy]

It’s always good to have James back for a bit! But also poor Mike 😅

[@Illjustbefamous]

Love rewatching this series!

[@AO2437.]

Thnx for reposting this for people who couldn’t watch the Wild Weekender, I loved it!

[@ThyBountyHunter]

My kids do dishes on Sat and Sunday, they pick the meal the night before so they can set the amount of dishes to wash, Hamburgers are Friday with chips, and smokies on Saturday with chips before a Roast on Sunday.

[@erinptrsn]

It's so much fun to see James back with y'all!

[@vanriperje]

Maybe it has been in a bunch of the other videos, but I do appreciate the music from the old sorted videos at the end of this one. Felt complete.

[@vanishedfairy914]

A james video with the outro music. Beautiful.

[@RyanRex]

Welcome back James! I'm sure I speak for all when I say you're always a welcome back into the fold.

[@williamdewey6780]

YES! THE VIDEO WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!

[@LudicrousRat]

Loving every video with James in it. Also loving every video with Kush in it. And every video with Ben in it... actually I love very video with all the normals too, but that's besides the point. Can we get a chef-off between James, Ben and Kush pretty please?

[@lux0rd01]

Kush dashing in and out to grab burger to eat was hilarious. The more I see him the more I love his chaos

[@cayelarissa]

Petition to have James' video cooking for the Rock released!

[@AMayT1992]

I will never not love this. It's like the more modern omelette challenge from Saturday Kitchen, but better.

[@quarlo20]

James is life. James is daddy. James is Wagyu drippings. 🤤😂

[@sunilesh]

Woo woo woo! The currie classiee! So awesome to see James back! Now can he please start being active on Instagram like he said he would? Please?

[@prinithdealwisjayasinghe2455]

Stayed up late when i saw todays video had james in, plus was in the 10 minute burger challenge - lovely to have him back, loving this series! Surprised how quick his time was cos thought he was faffing a bit

[@AliFoxhall]

I was briefly blissfully unaware of how much I missed James

[@m0shman]

Finally james! Awesome video

[@asquithmainlines699]

Was a pleasure to see James cook, I was so engrossed in what he was doing I actually thought he went over time. No drama no theatrics just a master doing what he does best. I would hazard a guess that he produced a great tasting burger as well. Well done James! Oh by the way Barry scewed you on the questions. Bad Barry, Ben needs to spank you.😅

[@Fenyally]

always so lovely to see james back in a video!!!

[@patrickcollins7030]

First i thought no one would beat Jamie, then Kush and now James. Those times are incredible

[@sirBrouwer]

makes me wonder wat Ben will do,

[@gyanendherno]

tbh i cant see anyone overtaking kush

[@tomlay4884]

​@sirBrouwer look at 15:07 number 06

[@andieluke1366]

Mike too, who held the spot for a full day before James toppled him. Poor Mike 😂

[@NigelDowney-sh5yd]

Love seeing James back! More please

[@Ellen-mq2im]

Lovely to see James---he is so missed!

[@Psspresident]

If you asked me 10 years ago what I would be watching late on a Friday evening it wouldn’t be you lot getting all excited, jumping up and down shouting “finger the pickles” 😂. Great vid as ever and nice to see the big man back

[@CarlGorn]

That moment when you get the food questions right faster than the chef. 🐓 That is one amazing-looking burger. Well done, James!

[@songofshadow5043]

I love the variation of the questions, from "What is salt?" to "What was the topic of one video we never even released from five years ago?" Like, surely every ten-year-old knows sodium chloride, but most people say they don't remember what they cooked last night, let alone five years ago.

[@syu2193]

This was such a Friday Treat.... a James Currie Treat! Thanks for sharing x

[@pudetouch]

I would pay to see this! Wait I did… Worth every penny!

[@SortedFood]

Thanks so much for your support 🫶

[@vgn5804]

Yay! James's here doing the Burger Challenge!

[@baneilson]

Always a treat to see James return as a guest.

[@farhanziad2120]

Bring this man back for more videos. I missed our ginger chef

[@toscirafanshaw9735]

Umm... the questions on the screen are not the questions actually being asked. I watched this during the Weekender, but it was nice to watch it again! (Still wondering why there was a smoke alarm right above the stove in that house.)

[@chrisr9641]

How is nobody else noticing this???

[@drd3ath953]

ofc hes from notts

[@ItsMeJenBB]

Bestill my heart- the OG of snark is back. Currie is a tall drink of water and will never be downgraded to “normal”. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@GrimmsDeath]

I love that Kush and James are top 3 then you got Ben at 5th. Lastly Barry all the way in 10th just makes me laugh.

[@jessicamayo7402]

Always awesome to see James! My suggestion for another Chef would be to bring back Poppy O’Toole.
