Can a Chef turn KFC into a completely different dish? | Sorted Food

[@peterbrown3781]

Kush is 100% correct when he said "Always thank your staff". Too often overlooked in loads of places.

[@thetinyMonarch]

definitely, I have worked the worst jobs and the only thing that kept me there was i felt i was appreciated.

[@Princessperlers]

I work in retail. I'm on the mic to ask staff to tills and I thank them all for helping me out.

[@WolfePaws]

Doubly important with all the kitchen shows showing toxic, aggressive pissing contests when mutual respect actually goes further.

[@NotTomS]

Staff: Talk is cheap... send money...

[@sirBrouwer]

​@@NotTomS I have done jobs where the pay was high but the work moral was very low. and I have jobs where the pay was low but the atmosphere was high. I preferred the second option.

[@YaaLFH]

The face of Barry who didn't expect winning that apron would come with actually having to do the job of a sous chef 🤣🤣🤣

[@superflueous]

8:42 Barry shouting "you've asked me to do everything!" Kush, quietly "but you're the sous chef...?" 😂

[@mrharvest]

I'm so glad that Kush is in front of the camera these days. He's got such great energy in addition to his culinary vision and technique

[@JeffKelly03]

With you on that one. I was a bit nervous and... not quite skeptical, but I'm a James stan so I was worried it was trying to force someone into a similar role and... well, it's obviously not, and I needn't have been worried. He's got such a great, unique, chaotic energy and personality that he really adds, and now I love whenever James comes back, and he and Kush share the screen.

[@honey23b2]

Really agree. Great fun, honest and logical talk!. Really great asset to the team!.

[@jmurray886]

I agree, Kush is a brilliant addition to the team, he's funny, clever, talented, and as mad as a box of soapy frogs. Just what we all need.

[@thecatofdestiny147]

Idk Sometimes he seems to be a bit of a dick… doesnt really fit in with the others wholesomeness imo

[@battlestarkoala]

@@thecatofdestiny147 but they all rib one another - why is it dicky when Kush does it? I think he seems lovely

[@noangelthis]

I love that despite Kush heckling Barry about the sous-chef title, he doesn't stop guiding, encouraging Barry throughout the the process, and gives Barry full credit for the chicken fritters. This team is the opposite of toxic work culture and toxic interpersonal relationships!

[@invisiblekid99]

Yeah. Of course not all high end chefs (or any chef) are knobs in the kitchen but I'd LOVE to be trained by Kush. He's incredibly paitient, informative and gives the impression of actaully liking the role of teacher chef on Sorted.

[@sirBrouwer]

Kush was told to use the tools he had available as best as he could. So in order to use Barry he needs him to do Barry's best.

[@noangelthis]

@@invisiblekid99 so true. Both Ben and Kush, and even James when he was part of the regular team are extremely supportive and come across as being happy to be in the role of teacher and mentor, very much invested in wanting everyone to learn and grow.

[@noangelthis]

I love the overhead shot of the rolled pasta where the stove is completely empty with all the burners on 😂 5:48

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

I absolutely cackled 😂

[@NikolaHoward]

That's tradition is it not??? 🙂

[@Huff-and-Puff]

I said outloud “of course all 4 burners are on, Barry is in the kitchen” and it was actually kushs doing!

[@MsIchigo93]

Kush & Barry is a whole different dynamic than Kush & James and I have no idea how he manages to be on both ends of that talent spectrum at the same time.

[@alleycaaat]

Kush is so relaxed, and I think it made Barry anxious haha I love Kush taking advantage of being able to chop on the work surface while Ben is away.

[@SiberianRomeo]

Kush is so relaxed when he cooks it makes ME anxious.

[@rejamrejam]

the way he just throws the chips into the spinach without even hesitating lmao

That's how you know he's a chef 😂

"Texture. It'll add more flavor." - Kush, The Kitchen Gremlin.

[@tuckle1718]

Kush is an amazing edition to the team. No recipe, no time to plan. He has to work purely off instinct, but still takes the time to guide and teach Barry along the way.

[@Isanion]

Watching Kush work I'm beginning to wonder if he actually knows how to cook, or if there's a ghost of a Michelin Starred chef living in his head and it just whispers instructions to him. Because he never seems to have any clue where he's going or what he's doing, but it turns out incredible anyway.

[@TheLantoniou]

Kush is clearly a cryptid.

[@ConstantChaos1]

That's what happens when I cook too lol

[@SortedFood]

He really is a chef magician. Everything he makes is 🤤

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

[@SEm-ir4qw]

I love how Kush says, I taste it in my head! As a chef I appreciate that because ppl don’t understand that knowledge.

[@elpukito]

I get the feeling the sous-chef apron may be both a blessing and a curse for Barry.

[@SortedFood]

Exactly this 😆

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFoodYessir 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@TheLantoniou]

I know, RIGHT? "Congratulations, we now expect stellar performance from you in all things!"

[@Khazandar]

Barry lost that apron the second he failed to split an avocado properly.

[@oneblacksun]

Looks to be more like a curse.

[@MrCubberMTL]

Just to clarify, in Canada, KFC restaurants in mostly EN provinces are still called KFC. In FR provinces (like Quebec), you are correct, it's PFK, which is the translation of KFC (PFK). Poulet frit = Fried chicken; and in FR the F stands for fried, not frites (fries/chips) :)

[@NeverMetABadCheesecake]

We don't come here expecting Barry to have an idea of what's going on / what he's talking about / what he's doing / how to turn a burner off ...

[@howardg2010]

Yeah. These people are as thick as pigshit.

[@mysisterisafoodie]

It’s just dumb, because in France KFC is still called KFC.

[@samtremblaybelzile]

@@NeverMetABadCheesecake In this case Barry said it right, he just didn't specify that it wasn't all of Canada.

[@samtremblaybelzile]

@@mysisterisafoodie It's a very different cultural context. English is not as omnipresent in France as it is in Québec. It's called PFK because we have a language law that forces businesses to either have a French name or a French descriptor of what kind of store they are. This is because until the 70's a lot of stores here were owned by anglophones, hired English-speaking staff and served customers only in English. Whenever I tell people from France that we made these laws because French used to be a second-class language here, they're surprised at the notion, because they're used to French being perceived as a prestige language more often than not.

[@happy78903]

Hats off, Kush is a phenomenal chef.

[@SortedFood]

💯

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFood😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@briancoleman9330]

I LOVE how Kush is always taking on the "Mentor/teacher" role. He's always willing to teach, and show how to do. If all kitchens had a Kush, I think the culinary industry would be so much better.

[@SamKemp54]

This would of been great as a "fool Ebbers" style video... maybe the next one should be all the ingredients were ordered from fast food places and transformed

[@morganalori]

agree, this format would be great for the "fool Ebbers" format. Also so funny Kush going 'Is Ebbers around?' then cutting on the counter. so naughty. that woulda been too funny if Ebbers was gonna be the taste tester

[@robopecha]

i was actually expecting someone else to taste it in the end! there was no feedback whether you still can taste the kfc if you know nothing!

[@BeaMickeyDoodle]

Have Ebbers or someone guess what place this is from!

[@unit1473]

Fool Ebbers, but do it with a Big Mac as the starting point

[@margaretwilson8736]

I said it a while ago - Kush has an incredible personality (and is so knowledgeable). He’s gained so much more confidence in front of a camera, and he’s incredible! :D Thank you, Kush!

[@TanukiSC]

When Kush said Captain Spaff wasn’t there for him, I think Baz took that literally and decided he had to snack on EVERYTHING the entire time! 😂😂😂

[@oanaalexia]

LMAO I rarely do but you've made me laugh, thank you.

[@christinebenson518]

Someone needs to make sure the food is edible.

[@alicemaggio8854]

I love watching Kush in front of the camera. He is a delight and so knowledgeable that I never leave without having learned something. I also like how kind and friendly he is to everyone. YAY, KUSH!!!!!

[@charlesrovira5707]

@8:32 🤣😂😅It's not burning, it's called _flavour._ 😅😂🤣 And _that's_ why we love *Kush.*

[@Paperscrapper]

But he's also right.

[@lanetanner8938]

There needs to now be an episodic thing yall do where its called KFC (Kush's Food Corner) and just let kush go absolutely wild making whatever he can out of fast food or take away

[@MafiosiBob]

Kush makes me so happy, he seems to have so much fun on camera.

[@clobsentinel]

It's fun to see Kush slowly speeding up the more he gets into the swing of things. Brilliant Video guys.

[@QueenDerp]

I love watching Kush going into hyper focus mode, I have so much awe for him. Amazing chef and probably my top favourite.

[@deebeeeff]

Would like to see Kush make a gourmet dinner from a full - and I do mean FULL - English breakfast.

[@SortedFood]

GREAT idea!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFood😊😅😅😅❤❤❤

[@BotloB]

Kush is like the Hulk of the Sorted Team, but instead of being always angry, he is in a constant state of chaos, so you cannot push him out of his comfort zone with puny things like time limits and challenging tasks.

[@Lizb325]

I love Kush. He has great personality, energy, and creativity. When he levels something up, he really levels it up. He comes up with such awesome things. He thinks outside the box. The things he comes up with, blows my mind. So glad to see him playing a more active role in front of the camera. I mean, I love Ben and James as well ( I would bring Ben home with me if it wasn't considered kidnapping) but Kush is an awesome addition.

[@TynaTheReader]

I would also like to bring Ben home with me, in a completely non-kidnappy way. 100% agree with everything you said about Kush too. He became a fast favourite of mine as soon as I saw him in the show that Sorted filmed with their live audience, however long ago, and he’s only made me love him even more ever since.

[@ColapsMental]

I would love a boss like Kush. Has all the confidence in you but he immediately jumps in to help when you struggle. Great character

[@MikeTotem]

Kush is (for me) the ONLY person who is a whole team in himself. Fun, chaotic, insightful, serious, innuendos and straight up top-tier quality. He is a one man band and such a powerhouse. I'm really, really happy and thankful that he accepted to try a go in front of the camera a few times and found this amazing balance with it. He has elevated the entire channel. And the more he is in front of the camera, the more we get to see his influence and references over the years on the rest of the team. The small blips and bobs here and there throughout all elements of this amazing content. Thank you :)

[@marim0y]

Agreed.

[@Damfotografia]

Specially when kush team up with jay and there's only chaos through the whole video! Love every second of it 🤣

As someone said about semolina porridge at a summer camp (of sorts; we were all in our teens and early twenties), "just say it's cinnamon." 😅

[@Falcodrin]

Kay's cooking has mastered that phrase

[@ktjurns]

I absolutely love watching Kush. He’s so knowledgeable and such a good teacher. Honestly though, I don’t really see the benefit of time limits on everything. The challenge is already challenging, I don’t think the time pressure really adds. Something like a competition or relay, absolutely, but it doesn’t seem necessary on these types of vids. Could just be me though. 😅

[@BiggieZee]

[@celarts5752]

Kush is such a bombastic chaotic delight, I'm so happy y'all got him on camera and I'm so excited to see more of him on the channel!

[@sutherncross2006]

This series is just Kush secretly teaching Barry how to actually cook. I hope at the end of the year Barry has to do a big, Fancy from Fast Food, meal by himself. That way, we can see how much information he's actually retained and if he gets to keep the apron.

[@motiefofficial3583]

Kush is an absolute diamond every time he’s in an episode!

[@syx3s]

the pasta move was absolutely brilliant. i thought he was going to make a sauce for the pasta when he threw the gravy and the skin into the blender. when he started pouring it into the food processor with the flour it clicked and my mind was blown.

[@jillianlookenott2563]

This was so fun to watch. They work so well together! I love how Kush takes the time to teach Barry and doesn't seem to feel the pressure of time.

Definitely want this series to continue. I’d like to see the dish tasted by the others without context though. It’s always hilarious seeing their reactions.

[@MichaelMaven83]

I honestly don't understand how Kush's (or Ben's) brain works. but damn they pull off the most amazing things. I never could have imagined this as the outcome

I use KFC bones to make chicken stock for soup. I make sure there are some crumbs left on the bones. It gives the stock an extra depth of flavour. That looked so yummy well done Kush & Bazza

[@YaaLFH]

I collect bones from all manners of fried poultry that made way into the house in the freezer and do the same! I don't eat KFC but things like Korean fried chicken, rotisserie chicken or Peking duck add that special something to the stock.

[@Ashley-pl5wr]

Kush continues to show why he's a main character. The way he appears as though he doesn't know quite what to do meanwhile that mad food genius brain is already working in overtime to deliver a culinary masterpiece? Excellent. Also, I appreciate that he teaches without being condescending which is a quality I don't think a lot of chefs have. Well done Kush. PS.: The best kfc is from Trinidad and Tobago 👍

[@YaaLFH]

The best KFC is Korean fried chicken.

[@magus2003]

Kush needs to go up against Josh from Mythical Kitchen in some kinda Chef it Up challenge. They're both good at this, and both chaos gremlins. Would be amazing.

[@TynaTheReader]

[@KSPRAYDAD]

PFK

[@JonathanJE3]

Came here to say the same

[@sushygored]

Yep, PFK in Quebec :) Also Barry translated it "word for word" to "chicken chips Kentucky", probably thinking "frit" was the same as "frite" (fries or chips), but it actually simply means "fried", so it stills translates to "Kentucky fried chicken" :)

It's always a joy and delight to watch Kush in action - the way he thinks is amazing. I did not see the tossing of fries into the spinach, combining those two things would never have occurred to me which is why he's the chef and I'm a lowly normal. 😉Perhaps as others have suggested Taco Bell? It would be super interesting to see how Kush approaches making anything from their menu gourmet.

[@KatieANDgee]

Absolutely love Kush! How his chef's brain works is amazing 😍

[@YaaLFH]

The mind of Kush is a strange and wonderful place. I'm so glad you're letting us have an occasional peek at what happens in there too.

[@briancoleman9330]

Also, I'd love to see Kush be in a "$150 cook off" challange like you had before. See what he comes up with on his own.

[@thenovicenovelist]

I'm from the southern US and I also like pasta, so this really intrigues me. Also, the quality isn't as good as some small mom and pop restaurants that focus more on quality rather than cost-cutting and speed. But when you live in a rural area where very few fried chicken options are available, then KFC is definitely better than nothing. Hardee's used to have some fantastic fried chicken, but they stopped selling it 😢.
