Kush is an absolute menace he must be given more power

[@Silentgrace11]

Right? I can’t believe this fabulous man was hiding from the camera for so long

Kush has the power, to say he needs more implies otherwise. Part of the joy is his ability to assert himself.

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

[@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
