Re-creating Famous Chefs' Signature Dishes

So...just stealing other KZbinr's formats? That's like...the opposite of originality.

[@Cossieuk]

@@ashleyneku5432 There are no new ideas anymore only new twists on old ideas. Seeing the chef hacks needed to beat the time is what is both fun and useful

[@consolescrub4031]

@@Cossieuk Devil's advocate how would you know there's no new ideas? The collaborative burger contest is a new one for me. That said, I'm not sure where the implied twist is on this idea you're suggesting compared to the original. I'd honestly be more interested to see normals vs takeaway as we already know chefs can do it from Joshua Weissman. They might not make it but it would probably be closer and still need some cheffy hacks they picked up. They'll probably always do it cheaper than a restaurant as it needs a markup to make money but trying to beat a restaurant's time without including the delivery time (they can prepare ingredients in advance in exchange) might be a genuine challenge.

[@Cossieuk]

@@consolescrub4031 The fast Burger challenge is just a take on the Omelette challenge from Saturday Kitchen but with a twist. I am sure they could come up with a twist on beating the restaurant. While their is markup restaurants also buy in bulk for a discount so price could still be tight. In fact you could only give the chefs half the budget which would make it more challenging

VIDEO IDEA: Ben or Kush can try the recreating food from taste video that they do over on the Bon Apetit channel, you have to recreate a dish purely from taste and touch you don’t get to see the dish at any point

[@ethancampbell215]

Although this video lacked the chaotic energy that Barry brings and the sarcasm and education that Ebbers provides we were still treated to an amazing video and at no point were left feeling like the video was missing another member. Mike and Jamie bounce off each other so we’ll because they have such a strong friendship, Kush having a little cameo that gave the video another body who added an element to the humour and the guest appearance from pumpy the cow meant we were treated to the usual Sorted content and didn’t leave the video with the impression that it lacked anybody else because it had so much going on and the narration was so fluid and natural

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s funny but so true how taking apart shrimp is like unwrapping the Cornetto Cone. I love that analogy. Thank you, Jamie!

And, love to hear more of Heston. I wanted to suggest a collaboration with Heston previously, and now seems like the perfect moment to do so! Please collaborate with Heston!!!!!

Possible idea for a budget chef vs normal battle, but the twist could be that the chef buys the premium ingredients and the normal gets the budget ingredients and then they use eachothers to see what they could make with the others ingredients.

[@travellingslim]

16:32 The question that Jamie had at the end is the same question that is a motivational roadblock for me in trying out these kinds of recipes - in general it seems like the more complicated and fancier the dish, the less you get on the plate at the end. Working for an hour or more to get three or four bites of food just doesn't feel rewarding enough to me, even if I have fun during the process. Sure the recipe can be scaled up but they can quickly get prohibitively expensive!

[@caseyrogers573]

You guys should make something from the book “The Oldest Cuisine in the World: Cooking in Mesopotamia” by Jean Bottéro. I think it would be very interesting seeing modern chefs connect to the origins of cuisine. Cheers!
