Kush's smile when he said that he could pick any plate that he wanted was the most genuine trollish happy smile I've seen in a while. It's so insincerely innocent with pure glee!

[@CooroSnowFox]

Kush should supply things to a task just to wind the boys up and they have to go with it...

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

The bite of Barry's chicken as well... He's such chaos

[@stevematthews7686]

Kush raised the chaos level to 11 on this one. Had a smile on my face the entire video

[@TheNinnyfee]

I thought he would pick a soup bowl. 😂

[@stone5against1]

I expected some sort of kiddy plate to be honest haha

[@RoyaLotad]

This is actually such a good format - give the boys all the ingredients necessary to make a particular dish, and challenge them to use them to make something totally different. Also I love that Barry is the one making a sandwich and offending international cuisine instead of Jamie, how the tables have turned.

[@dingaia]

yea i mean it's not like they took it from any gordon ramsay show or anything :P

[@RoyaLotad]

​@@dingaia Yeah, they're not the first to figure out that a mystery box is a good idea, and I'm so sorry if you think they're gonna be the last.

[@Blomstermark]

​@dingaia, I'm pretty sure that if you go that route, you could easily argue that Gordon "took" it from the original iron chef Japan.

[@callumcochrane7759]

​@@BlomstermarkI don't know how long iron chef has been about but Ready, Steady, Cook had mystery boxes back in the 90s

[@DreadKyller]

@@callumcochrane7759 iron chef japan also started around the 90s (93 specifically) but they didn't really have mystery boxes as much as a single mystery ingredient.

[@Acranify]

Kush encouraging the chaos that is happening in the middle of the battle is hillarious

[@SortedFood]

Kush is the king of chaos!

[@lordsergal8783]

​@SortedFood Kush has been confirmed to be Florida Man

[@ethancampbell215]

When Kush was first introduced on camera I thought he was going to be a sensible and reliable addition to the team 😂😂 instead he’s demonstrated he’s a jester of chaos completely mirroring the personality Ebbers brings to videos 😂

[@thenovicenovelist]

​@@lordsergal8783 Nah, don't insult Kush like that. Florida Man usually does something like rides around drunk on a scooter inside a Walmart or tries to lead police on a chase using their lawnmower as the getaway vehicle. And I doubt he owns a meth gator, but I could be wrong.

[@toscirafanshaw9735]

Poor Barry getting accused of having made the losing dish, and Jamie just skipping happily to the outro without correcting Ben made me chuckle.

[@arthurcatrambone1982]

I don't think I've ever seen Ben not like a dish this much. Definitely lost the poker face lmao

[@Bryan_K_27435]

I caught it earlier when Jamie was making the panzanella. Usually people will marinate the tomatoes first and then throw in the stale bread to soak up all the juices. Jamie skipped that bit and tossed the ingredients into a bowl of stale bread so any liquid that comes out/is being added will immediately be absorbed by the bread like a sponge and there's no distribution of flavours. It wasn't the best approach but still passable until he decided to pour in vinegar and I went oh no, the top bit of bread is going to be fully soaked in vinegar and unlucky for Ben, he got that bit in the first bite.

[@BlueDrumSteam]

@@Bryan_K_27435 And, more importantly, you are supposed to roast the bread before tossing it in the salad so you don’t just end up with soggy sponges. Delfinetly makes for an entertaining video though

[@ethancampbell215]

For the first time in about 7 years he was overwhelmingly disappointed with the guys submissions because he expected so much more from them 😂😂 he knew they could’ve made a club sandwich, kept it simple and most likely won and instead went for all style and no substance

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Jamie has been improving like crazy over the years so it's good of him to remind us all why he is still a normal.

[@ethancampbell215]

I would say that Jamie’s improvement from the start to the present is the most noticeable out of the three! He’s branched out and become more comfortable with cooking with a plethora of ingredients, mastering some like beef, but continued to be the same upbeat and confident character that makes him so engaging

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

I honestly Can't NEVER get enough of Kush sass and chaos on the sidelines! He makes everything more hilarious!😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SortedFood]

He is hilarious 😂

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFoodBest boy!❤❤❤❤❤

[@ethancampbell215]

Sorted really replaced the sassiest chef James Currie with an equally sassy Kush 😂😂

[@reyals474]

Jamie trying to feed Ben 6 slices of bread is absolutely hilarious

[@Maddigan]

Kush is bringing the sassy chef factor back to the videos and I am ALL for it!

[@Shelsight]

How on earth was Jamie the only person who didn’t realise he had already put 3 slices of bread…into the filling of his other 3 slices of bread club sandwich…

[@SortedFood]

Jamie!!! 🤦‍♂

[@bernardohchongching224]

Jet lag?

[@MegaMiracle77]

Mike told him at least twice! 😂

[@Anna-uh3jq]

Jet lagged mystery box could be a wonderful new format. Although I’d also love to see jet lagged pass it on. 😂

[@dennisriis7636]

hungover pass it on ;)

[@Bipolarpear_]

you can call it Passing out

[@TheNinnyfee]

Or a late Saturday night munchies box. 😊

[@itsjustme1139]

Now that is just cruel hahaha

[@Kenneth2413]

​@@dennisriis7636combine the 2: hungover jetlagged pass it on. Lol. Even worse if the order they have to go in is most drunk the night before to least drunk the night before. Lol

[@AlexNgiam]

[@SortedFood]

YIKES!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFood😬😬😬😬

[@01fxstsi]

Would you mind explaining to the American in the chat why that would get him canceled? 🤔

[@lewismaddock1654]

Well, that's true fusion. The "Paella burrito" was (even though he pointed out), a generic Anglo interpretation of iberic and american-hispanic stuff put together.

[@GIBBO4182]

Oh no! Another international incident incoming

[@Anna-uh3jq]

Snacking bacon, thinking tomatoes, sexy olive oil… Sounds like some excellent foodie marketing.

[@celticecho]

Not on topic, but I made it to Fallow last weekend! We were sat at the chef’s table and were able to meet Jack (one of the head chefs/owners)! The food was UNREAL and I cannot rate it higher! I would seriously encourage anyone to go. Thanks for featuring them on here.

[@SortedFood]

That's so amazing to hear! We're over the moon that you enjoyed your experience there 😁

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFoodSame that sounds epic! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@celticecho]

@@SortedFood- I’ve not shut up about it since seeing your video with them, I am so glad it lived up to the hype I’d given it in my own head!!!

[@exzyle2k]

We need a video of Ebbers watching this video to see the process and his reaction. When things end up disappointing him this much, we NEED his reaction to the video.

[@TheRealTommyFisher]

Mike and Kush obviously giving all the ingredients for a club sandwich… Barry: “I’m going to make an Indian Croque Madame!” That’s just Mike left to be cancelled then 😂

[@DreadKyller]

Well, Mike was the one who came up with the "Shanghai Slappy" from "Pass It On S3 E8"

[@lordsergal8783]

​@@DreadKyllerThat was a win and you know it

[@DreadKyller]

@@lordsergal8783 I'd agree, but Barry said when he realized what was expected, they they were going to make people mad, so I was mostly making a joke.

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

Nah, I think Barry has a long way to go to match Jamie's paella buritto This might be offensive to the French, but they're used to the Brits butchering their food anyway! And there wasn't enough Indian-ness in it to properly rile us up. I vote for Barry to make a biriyani, whenever they do a video next! (Biriyani is one of those dishes in India where no matter what recipe you follow, you'll find a bunch of people complaining that's not _true_ biriyani and you got _everything_ from the type of rice to the type of meat to the garnishes wrong)

[@SennaAugustus]

@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790 Over in SEA, biryani has hundreds of variations, everyone is just making it up and doing whatever they want.

[@Tactavious]

Kush is such a fun twist in the kitchen. Even something as simple as asking for a plate gives the guys pause to weigh out which choice would result in less damage. Love it.

[@igarner6615]

I haven’t laughed this hard watching a Sorted episode. Kush and Mike’s reaction to Barry’s sandwich idea was priceless. And the curry spice…spiceology badge fiasco all over again.

[@etuanno]

I can't even, the bread on bread was just hillarious. I'd have made a two plates, a cesar like salad and French toast as the desert. I'd have to find something to accompany the french toast though. Something like apple compot. I also thought about making a salad and a bread soup. Boil the egg and put it into the salad. Fry the bacon & chicken, cut them into small pieces and throw them into the soup. You only need some onions & garlic for the soup as additional ingredients.

[@alleycaaat]

I'm about crying from laughing so hard at the carnage that is this video. It's just beautiful, Mike and Kush on the sidelines, just perfect. I think jet-lagged battles need to be a regular occurrence. I think the winner is Ben for trying both dishes and being so kind in his judgement. OH! OH! Can we get a video of seeing Ben reacting to the video while Jamie and Barry sit beside him and try to defend their decisions? Kush and Mike can be giggling off to the side.

[@aussiecountry9320]

I love how were seeing more and more of Kush's chaotic evil personality come out the more he gets comfertablable and used to be infront of the camera. Its delightful to watch 🤣🤣

[@theTomster1981]

Kush‘s destructive sass really adds to the show 😂

[@SortedFood]

He's a VIBE.

[@rossbristol4420]

Kush: "And I can get any plate I like?" *Beaming Smile* 🤣

[@kuchenjaeger2164]

Kush's "shame" at 4:16 is some A+ comedy :'D

[@GeoFitz4]

I love seeing Kush in more videos recently. Since James left, it really felt like the channel needed another on-screen chef. With Kush, he's bringing a different perspective and different personality, but still providing the right level of sass. I feel like it's helped to keep the content fresh with this added perspective.

[@lordofthenotes]

Kush went full gremlin mode on this video and I am here for it.

[@SortedFood]

Oh he really did 🤣

[@kateh7484]

I feel like chaos flows through Kush’s veins instead of blood 😜

[@SortedFood]

It really does🤣

[@Lepreshaunn]

Jamies dish was the chaotic energy I needed for a Sunday afternoon.

[@joelperry8939]

This hints at classic Sorted. The pure chaotic creativity of the Head to Head to Heads of earlier years, with contemporary videography quality -- brilliant! Also, it's been great having Kush on the other side of the camera these days.

[@ispellitjustg]

I love that everyone's immediate reaction to "I will make something from X" is "we will get cancelled" you can see Mike having flashbacks to the paella

[@robertcotrell9810]

Kush's devilish energy is always a treat to witness! I have never seen Ebbers make a face like that. 😂

[@michaeltelfer3483]

Nobody puts Barry in a box. Love his creative thinking

[@holly6067]

something I adore about sorted is that while it's beautifully shot (like the camera work and the set are amazing) it still has actual function and use

[@littledarksun6484]

Kush bringing the mayhem energy from the burger challenges and giving the boys the EXACT ingredients for a recipe is BRILLIANT. Loved this one a lot!

[@littledarksun6484]

I always love this format but them being jet legged adds even more fun. Makes it feel like trying to scrounge to make a dinner at midnight while a little loopy

[@amberdawn5372]

I expected Kush to bring back a way worse plate based on his face when he walked away 🤣

[@sophykitten2212]

Barry was so sweetly jetlagged loopy and happy by the end. Adorable.😂

Absolutely love Kush becoming a regular face in the videos. Absolutely love the malicious compliance when Jamie said Kush could pick any plate.

[@Shade.85]

Barry's cheeky giggle gives me life, every single time

[@tappajavittu]

Just found your channel like a week ago and I've been binging your content. Really good stuff! And glad to see my favorites Baz and Jay fool around against each other in the kitchen. EDIT: Also a HUGE thank you for providing (mostly) good subtitles on your videos, I find it baffling and almost insulting when channels who are bigger than yours don't do that out of laziness. As a non english speaker it nicely helps me to learn all sorts of new culinary words and stuff when I know how the words are spelled. So thank you again Sorted Food team.

[@cherylmann2178]

As a hearing impaired person I also appreciate the attention to subtitles!

[@toomanyopinions8353]

Yes, it is baffling how few channels do that. Though incorrect subtitles perhaps baffle me even more. Why bother to make them if you are going to make them mean something different to what was actually said?!

[@jaystevens137]

That's awesome. How fun it would be to be getting into this for the first time!

[@tappajavittu]

@@jaystevens137 Tbh it's been pretty awesome watching Sorted Food videos, I love their chaotic energy and screen presence.

[@violetskies14]

Just so you know since you're still learning the spelling in the subtitles is British English which is generally the same as Australian and Canadian English but can be pretty different from American English.

[@jaybehkay2438]

Kush’s choice of plate is so good 😂😂 please film more when jet lagged. This is so good

[@DrLeaders]

Kush is such an amazing addition to the channel. So glad we’ve been seeing more of him the last few months!

[@TS-ov4ix]

I loved Mike and Kush's expressions as they watched the carnage that this challenge was awesome. Jamie realizing with just under 3 min remaining that he "hasn't thought this through" I thought was the best moment then Ben's facial expression eating Jamie's "sandwich" happened and I utterly lost it.😂😂😂 Bless you Jamie but that was a hot mess.

[@blackbelt072783]

I swear Kush so belongs as part of this family. The banter between you all is God tier

[@Thanatos--]

I had to look it up. Egg in a club sandwich is definitely more of a UK and Commonwealth thing. They are similar enough to what the average US club sammie is in a common ancestor sort of way, but I don't think a person from one side of the pond would expect what they received if they ordered a club on the other.

[@toni_go96]

When Kush blankly asked "what is curry spice", I felt at a spiritual level. Great sandwich though. Also poor Ben cuz he was excited about the croque madam, and then started to cut a piece and immediately went, Oh this isn't a croque madam. And then the poor lad had to eat the other sandwich, he looked like he was gonna cry with all that vingear. I think the real winner of this is Ben for getting through that!

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Kush inserting chaos into the mix? Worth it. Bread in between bread gives "Thanks giving leftover dressing on your turky sandwich" vibes.

There are only two traditional ways to have a club sandwich. The original way, is basically just a BLT on top of a turkey sandwich with three slices of bread. Or, the NY/East-Coast street food version. Is a butterflied, and pounded thin chicken cutlet that's been breaded and fried, inside of a BLT (only 2 slices of bread).

I love mystery box videos like this because it’s fun thinking of what I’d do if I could actually cook If I could cook I’d turn the sourdough into French toast and fry the chicken to make something similar to chicken and waffles, I’d then use the mayo to make a nice sauce for it If turn the other bread into some breadcrumbs to fry some tomatoes similar to fried green tomatoes and then use the lettuce to make a simple salad on the side
