Guys, if you are reading this, you need to do a series exploring different types of Indian cuisine: Punjabi, Bengali, South India, Gujarati etc

[@bcaye]

My soul cries to drop everything, book a trip to London and feast. My boss says no. My mortgage says no. My cats say HELL NO, , STAY HERE AND FEED US.

[@stephenmilligan6709]

@@bcaye If it wasn't for the cats!!! Mine gave me an evil look as I thought about it.

[@ameliacourt4436]

if only I wasn't in Australia! maybe one day...

[@franceshnni7380]

If I wasn’t in Asia..

[@donalskehan]

Great fun guys as always! I'm ready for the next EAT-A-THON whenever you are! Call me baby!

[@preciliahermanto5542]

Nice bumblebee shirt :)

[@shishirleyy]

Donal Skehan I KNEW THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY! YEY!

[@lollys1785]

Ok, baby 😂

[@yumni.0334]

Love you Donal!! Great seeing you with the sorted gang!

[@shaunmathew2823]

fuck me

[@monojira]

I saw an awesome food show on German TV where cooks were presented with rather complex local dishes and then later that day had to recreate it on their own just from memory of what they saw, smelled and tasted. It seems like a perfect game for you guys!! Either Ben/James cook something and the normals have to recreate it or the normals find food in London and the chefs have to recreate it!

[@vanessaaaaaa1074]

m o n ⃝o kitchen impossible with Tim Mälzer! Love that, would be great for the guys to recreate 😊

[@JuleLisa]

Tolle Idee!

[@niklaspilot]

YES! The guys should definitely do a version of Kitchen Impossible!

[@danieltownsend9382]

"she's the feeder to my eater personality" Ha haha Jamie must love a good "feeder"

[@traanster]

As somebody who is of Vietnamese ethnicity, I just want to say THANK YOU!! I feel like Vietnamese food is something that is very underrated (aside from the usual pho and rice paper rolls), but there is actually so much more to explore! I hope you take on your own twist on Vietnamese food soon!

[@tomlay3593]

Seconded!!

[@thecurbsideprophet]

The memo for the dress code was stripes, nobody told Jamie. Also there was a good Ben/ James related burn in the first 40 secs, so you had me at that, Pho sure.

[@daddydissapointment8521]

Please make a video where the chefs make a complex taste and then the normals remake it only using their taste and how it looks.

[@rjploops]

That is a great idea! I already can't wait.

[@LoryLilyBomber]

That interaction between Jamie and the chef was so sweet.

[@Teddybearlove2hug]

As a Vietnamese person myself, I love this video! You guys showcased such an accurate and fantastic representation of Vietnamese food. Not many channels have done as nicely as you guys did! Makes me want to go cook up some Viet food right now!

[@bibinoojen]

Fellow Vietnamese here, agreeing!!

[@angelkisses5933]

Oooo I'll pop round anytime to have a try! 😋🤣 Xx

[@lilygilmour6185]

Ben's dream has come true. Thanks guys you always try so hard to produce the best content!!!! Xxx

[@thomasyates2557]

Definitely my favorite channel on here, I'd love to see more ultimate battles....have you guys ever done an American Thanksgiving Battle?

[@kennie39]

I don't know about you but I'm not sure if I'd like to see them butcher more American dishes. It's amusing but also rather painful.

[@AzleeBarasuri]

I'm not american so I frankly don't care if they destroy them, I'm down for it !!!

[@franklinnartz1381]

Thank god Jamie clarified the "depth of flavour" by saying how "matured" the flavours are, much clearer!

[@kelseyito9227]

I don’t suppose you guys can strap some of that food to a dolphin and have it swim to Hawaii for me

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Did Ben and Donal coordinate wardrobe choices😂🤣 sounds like a great eating experience, added it to my book for the next time wifey and I get to London

[@lozellina]

The Viet Kitchen, and Thuy, brought tears to my eyes too. Her love was so genuine to friends and also passion for her food. And all of the dishes she brought out looked incredible. "Oh but there's a gap there!" 😂❤️💞☺️

[@Me-pe8eb]

You should do more ultimate battles

[@Mr_M_]

Well they have just been to America to try lots of different dishes so they could do a battle with inspiration from those visits, OR since they've now done Vietnamese food, they could battle out with that

[@fmlAllthetime]

Yup

[@JMacsAmateurKitchen]

Man you’re inspiring us to do some Vietnamese episodes!! Love this!!!

[@Daphreak696]

You guys got some pretty dope guests on, really nice to see so many of the British youtube channels collaborating, but food does bring people together doesnt it :)

[@SortedFood]

Good food is just the catalyst for good times right?

[@izzy1221]

*Vietnamese food always looks so good!* I just wish I can reach through the screen and grab myself some of that Pho.

[@kohlinoor]

Pho real, man! Pho real.

[@hayaxiugame5966]

🤣🤣🤣

[@neverforget3107]

Y’all are so cute and hilarious. I love that y’all are trying to use new descriptions and make yourselves better.

[@giamare855]

I love these videos so much! You guys deserve way more credit and subs🍜

[@lexibenton8978]

I love Donal Skehan!! This video was great. Now I'm hungry for some Vietnamese food! 😜

[@TheDonOfUK1]

Do one on Turkish restaurants please!

[@xivleslie]

the entire video, i was thinking about how i’ve never heard thuy’s name before, but then i realized you guys were pronouncing it wrong when i looked her up 😂

[@nguyendinh3338]

I'm from Miền Tây. Still cooking the same food from time to time even though I don't live in Vietnam anymore.

[@tomlay3593]

That's awesome! My dad's half Vietnamese so sometimes he cooks traditional dishes.

[@lenkanguyenovaxuanova6471]

oh man, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this vid and it just blew my mind ♥️🙆🏻‍♀️ Hardly ever do I go to Vietnamese restaurants, bcs it’s not as good as the food we cook ourselves, but if I ever get a chance to visit London, I’m definitely visiting this area and Thuy to learn more about the cuisine 👌🏽🇻🇳 Great job, boys! This channel keeps getting better and better 🙌🏽✨⭐️

[@anncooper6338]

Awesome video! Totally agree about The Little Viet Kitchen! The only place I go for Vietnamese to reconnect with flavours of the food my mother used to make. Their takeaway lunches are amazing too!

[@trucle892]

As a vietnamese person, i absolutely love the appreciation for vietnamese food recently because i could live off it for the rest of my life - easy! Neeeeed to try the viet house out!

[@tomlay3593]

Seconded!!

[@abeg1571]

These videos are always relaxingly fun for me. I’m down right now from a knee injury and an infection, and can’t move anywhere even if I wanted. Knowing that, rewatching old SORTED vids, responding on twitter and reading comments has helped my mood for sure. Glad to be a part of this community.

[@Panda_Roll]

Jamie's happy face when he looked at the feast in front of him was precious! Looks like we found his type guys.

[@dariakiehart6450]

It all looks amazing. I've never had Vietnamese food. Now I need to try it!

[@kateheller590]

I've officially begun making a list of all the restaurants and food markets in and around London based off your videos to go visit when I am finally able to come to England from the U.S.; that 3rd restaurant most definitely has made the list after this video!!! Can't wait!

[@e.k.6859]

"She's the feeder to my eater personality." I need to find me one of them feeders :))

[@SeifSamer]

My life is now complete 😍 can't tell you how much I luv sorted or Donal and now this is the perfect video. Full cycle ♥️

[@carterthomas9182]

You guys need to do a Ultimate Chef vs Normals battles where the Normals team up agains 1 of two chefs in an Ultimate battle and the other chef will judge in a blind tast test

[@ShiivaWilding]

The chill-out electronic music in the background of the ends of these videos is awesome guys, awesome job!

[@erilassila409]

The guys are just all so cute in their own different ways: Ben's cute because he's a huge nerd like me, Donal is cute because he's Irish and has an awesome sense of humor, and Jamie is cute because he enjoys the exact same foods and drinks that I do.

[@kerrydoesmakeup]

Ben talks about having a whole sprig of mint in pho... when he's holding cilantro in his chopsticks

[@sunmoon711]

I was about to say the same XD a sprig of mint!?!?!

[@avigyabhattarai8158]

It was Vietnamese mint I think

[@justiceseeker4814]

Yessssss, exactly! LOL

[@Mr_M_]

Honestly I wish Donal could be a main Sorted member, he fits in so well and comes across as such a nice guy

[@sallyhamom5927]

The way Jamie said "Happy Birthday" at the last restaurant 😂😂 and the guest....he was so so so enthusiastic about it.... But Jamie looked so so happy

[@duckeehhh]

Always good to watch these and see a restaurant I go to as I thought its good, being chosen.

[@ceri4559]

Thank you so much for featuring Vietnamese food! Its kind of proud to see our cuisine go so far.

[@carrie_lol]

I visited The Little Viet Kitchen as part of my trip to London last year. 100/100 would recommend. I've been to Vietnam and tasted the local cuisine and this place just took it even further. I even got a peek of Thuy working in the kitchen on my way to the water closet!

[@sarahdonaghey246]

I love when you guys choose to put Ben and Jamie together for videos. Obviously Ben's a Chef. And Jamie knows what goes together, what tastes good... like his homeade recipes with no actual recipe... I love it when you two come together, because I know we're having amazing food.

[@linited]

So glad my mums making pho to eat tomorrow. Always interesting to watch how vietnamese food is overseas. Same but still very different.

[@rachellacer6245]

This is the perfect video for me today as I am in a Chicago airport with lots of choices of food. Now I know what's for lunch.

[@janinepillay5554]

Sending you so much love from South Africa!!! Such quality content. I don't know why you guys don't have more views.

[@sidereuscaelestisdraconis6968]

You guys!!!! Come back to Vietnam!!! I'm sure there were a lot of food Ben and Mike haven't try last time. Barry and Jamie (and James) should come along too!!!!!

[@miseriacanterai]

Yay Sorted and Donal!!! Been waiting for this collab again 🤓❤😈

[@SnowmanTwin07]

As a Vietnamese American I felt so happy watching this! I'm from San Jose so there's a ton of Viet. restaurants I can eat at. I've never been to the UK so I'll be sure to check out these restaurants when I do visit London. Fantastic episode guys!

[@mselsbethreads8927]

I get so excited just watching you eat these amazing dishes!

[@Oldlard]

6:46 pure joy, encapsulated

[@neverforget3107]

Y’all should do budget meals but in two teams. And switch ingredients after they are in the kitchen. And switch again mid way through cooking. See who came up with the best dishes.

[@MarceldeJong]

I'll be in London next week. Going through the Sorted best of lists to find a few good restaurants in the center. Thanks Sorted!

[@rainbowsocks7227]

"For once in our lives we get to hang out with a really _actually_ talented chef". Jamie, you're brutal!

[@teejaykaye]

Oh my god you did a video with Donal Skehan. My life is complete. Also I absolutely love Donal's choice. Not biased I just love big arrays of food variety where you can choose a whole lot of different delicious bits.

[@lanestovall1715]

Donal nailed it!! Bring him back for more videos!! I loved him!!

[@axelschakramkh2481]

It's so rare to hear pho pronounced properly and this video makes me happy because of it

[@Dreamrider79]

Every videos you are making is astonishing... A pity that I don't leave in London to try all those restaurants... Keep going like that guys !!

[@deekshitapaliath605]

All of this food looks soo good! This day must have been so much 'pho'n...... I'll leave now. K bye

[@SortedFood]

Your pun is better that Jamie's! Ha

[@deekshitapaliath605]

SORTEDfood does that mean I've replaced him then?

[@BooTomatoTomato]

I'm just now learning how to pronounce this word. I've pronounced it like "faux" everytime I see it.

[@mantrile]

As an American Vietnamese, I really am enjoying this beautiful episode of Vietnamese food showcase. Our 4000 years of history did deliver a great cuisine the world has yet to know. Thanks you guys. Also, I really enjoy your British accent as my teenage daughter (born in the USA) always challenged me and won 🤣😍😭

[@JennyTimonera]

Donal Skehan and Sorted!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@AimeeLouiseFit]

I love that Viet food is becoming more common place in the UK! I went to uni in South Australia and for us Vietnamese food was student food! Can't beat a cheap but amazing Pho or Bahn Mi!

[@kevinvodochodsky]

I branched on Vietnamese food over the last couple years. I have to say it is probably my second favorite all time cuisine. The flavors and spices are so beyond anything it’s absolutely extraordinary! Great video y’all! Would love to see more Vietnamese and Southeast Asian cuisine videos! Keep up the great work that y’all are doing!

[@connoranthony1663]

Whenever I watch y'alls channel its gets me to try and make better food. I dont know if that's from shear hunger of watching or from inspiration

[@elizabethcherney5938]

Jamie found his food friend for life ❤️❤️ “she’s the feeder to my eater” The food looked amazing and I wish I could get to London for the dinner...

[@dreambear91]

The food looked pretty authentic. The noodles used at the 24 hr pho broth place weren't the usual noodles you see in pho though, they looked a little too wide. But if they were fresh noodles, nothing beats it.

[@hopeswansonsmith4645]

I’m just turning this channel into an itinerary for a London trip this fall. Now all I have to do is convince my husband to join me.

[@catiejaret908]

I have been binge watching your videos. While I get ready in the morning, during my lunch, and before bed. The videos are great. Also I love all of you. You guys never fail to make me smile. I am going to be sad when there are no more videos to watch. Lucky for me there are quite a few videos

[@verydoge5262]

Pho is seriously one of those foods that is hard to describe to someone who has never eaten it. BUT once you tried you'll remember the amount of things going on every time you see Pho. Seriously good.

[@quyenpham2243]

My favorite guys enjoying their Vietnamese feast together. My my I am so damn proud right now.

[@kiddream7]

He needs to be on more videos I love his vibe. If you fly me out there I will go

[@thomasventer36]

Hi Sorted Family! I'm a huge fan of the show and I'm insanely captivated with the 5 of you! I'm from South Africa but I'm spending a week in London in December with my brother (an aspiring chef) and would love to be able to meet you guys!!

[@jbax5521]

I lived in New Orleans for a while. If you ever get the chance go to Pho Tau Bay on Tulane Avenue. It’s a tiny cafe but it made me fall in love with Vietnamese food. I live in the north of England and there are so few Vietnamese restaurants. I miss that place so much! One day I’ll have to take a trip to London to relive the experience. You’ve made me crave Vietnamese food so much! Love your videos

[@rachel.doremi6974]

That is the beauty of pho: I'm glad you shared this small part of Viet culture with the world

[@TheOlive92]

All of your content is well thought through, and thoroughly entertaining. But this... I don't know why, was just so much fun to watch! Your genuine emotion to eating such great food comes across in waves and I loved the passion!

[@SleepyWhaleShark]

I'm still waiting for the chef from Little Viet Kitchen to come on as a guest! She has such a wonderful and lovable personality!

[@meganrussell1365]

This is 100% one of my favourite collabs ever, would love to see more Donal on the channel. You all work so well together it's great 👌

[@abbylim2098]

Ben and Donal's complementing outfits though 😂😂😂

[@kohlinoor]

This was just so great, from the food choice (Vietnamese being probably my favourite cuisine on the planet) to the guest to the return of Ben's old branding. Shut out to the Little Viet Kitchen for making me wish I lived in London. What a feast for the eyes and the soul!

[@ilovedavidtennant101]

I like that before they headed to Donal’s place, the three of them opened car doors, but Barry opened the boot as if he was going to ride inside there!

[@viviennedoan2644]

where's the vietnamese crew at???? *raises hands up* we seriously do have really good food :)

[@dgaard9880]

I have been in Vietnam and the The Little Viet Kitchen, it took me right back. Love your content keep up the good work :D

[@SelySilvent]

Aww Donal and Ben coordinated their outfits! Hope Jamie didn't feel too left out

[@Porochaz]

Im not sure this is my kind of food but it all looked so lovely on the table I hope I get to go there at some point.

[@beccagentry4521]

My fav pho place is a little hole in the wall in Concord, CA called Hello Pho. The food is amazing. The staff is so nice.

[@Spankypenguin1]

Every time I watch one of your vids where you showcase London restaurants it makes me want to move house. My corner of Essex has some good places to go but the sheer variety of styles available to you guys overwhelms my mind. I'm now off to the internet to find out if there is a Vietnamese restaurant anywhere near me. As a fairly new viewer to your channel I'm not sure if you've ever tried Nepalese cooking? There is a fairly large ex Gurkha community where I live and we have a couple of excellent Nepalese restaurants.

[@nigel8499]

'The Little Viet Kitchen' looked amazing. 10/10

[@Maxishot2000]

Wow what a spectacular guest Donal is. Bounced off the jokes with Jamie and really professionally carried himself in his bits and presentation. Would love to actually see him cooking with the guys in a 3 way chef cook off. Which btw, I miss those battles guys!

[@jonburnell532]

I'm regulalry made hungry watching you guys, but I've never wanted to visit a restaurant more than The Little Viet Kitchen. That looked amazing.

[@Kujo751]

Still one of my favorite channels. Thank you. Its always a pleasure to watch from your recipes to your reviews like this.

[@1kinut800]

I LOVE Vietnamese food! Even the limited variety we have here.

[@booksnerdnerdy1799]

Donal!! So excited to see Donal in the thumbnail! Awww.. loved watching this! :D More Donal please! :D :D

[@Luckcat16]

I love her. Now THAT is someone who is doing what they are meant to do in life. Jamie too.😂

[@OhItsLyric]

Sometimes it makes me really sad being an American watching this show.... Thuy's passion for her food and guests would be an amazing thing to experience in person! Someday...

[@franceshnni7380]

I’m booking a ticket to Vietnam right now..!! ohhh sortedfood u make me do things i love!!

[@christophermorelli5941]

Always enjoy watching you guys! I am missing the cooking videos....want to learn more about how to bring all these flavors we are seeing back into my kitchen to have regularly! Thanks!

[@ErrePi89]

As a Viet person, yes, do go to Vietnam with the 36 dishes challenge. I'd love it.

[@madisonlawrence9624]

I don’t think Jamie has ever appeared so happy in a video then in the third place they went 😂😂😂

[@majal8735]

She seemed so sweet bless her
