THE ULTIMATE CHEF VS CHEF SANDWICH BATTLE | Sorted Food

[@SortedFood]

Have you guys heard about the PASTA NIGHT we're doing with Emilia's (you might remember them from our London's Best Pasta video!)?? Make sure you head this way and grab a ticket before they sell out -> sorted.club/eat/

[@heavynov]

Let's be real; the real winners are the lads who got to eat without cooking.

[@einarwestlund]

But half of the joy is in the cooking. Just try out any of their simpler recipe and you might find out for yourself

[@heavynov]

Don't get me wrong, I love cooking (and bread-baking especially), but sadwitches like this are too much effort for too little quantity as far as I am concerned :-D

[@hac3359]

[@PortuguesePirate99]

Barry and Mikes converstion is exactly why they are NORMAL and not chefs. For everyone saying that they are secretly chefs this proves they are one of us. That convo had me dying.

[@scottmatthew9605]

PortuguesePirate99 Barry’s look to camera after Ben says gentleman relish is great too. Great ep.

[@Khelztube]

I think they have a higher understanding of food and ingredients simply because they're friends with proper chefs and they've probably picked up on a lot over the years.

[@PortuguesePirate99]

So I am getting married today and instead of a cake my soon to be wife and I are having a Croquembouche for our dessert. When the restaurant where we are doing our reception asked to see what that was I showed them your video from a big night in when you made that hazelnut Croquembouche. Thanks Sorted for helping with my wedding in the small way you did

[@EcoLynn]

I love how Ben always explains what he is doing. It makes me think I can maybe just maybe recreate what he's done

[@SondreGrneng]

That's what makes me appreciate Ben so much. Not only is a really good at explaining what he does, he always explains what he does. I think the second best at this in their group is probably Jamie.

[@maryjoyspohrer256]

My son and I have a bit of a split decision. My son would like James' better if it had more meat. He likes the veg and all, but it's really veg heavy instead of celebrating the beautiful pork. You could just have easily used a cheaper meat if you were only going to put a tiny bit on like that.

[@kateh7484]

2 million YES 👌🏻🙌🏻🎉🎊

[@Choco-kr5ev]

5:13 we also use them in french a mandarine is a smaller orange and a clementine is a tiny orange but really juicy

[@kristynaplihalova]

In czech, we call "mandarin" "clementine". So in eastern eropean language, you'r right as well.

[@theholyspiritus4326]

Yeah its Mandarine and Clementine in german as well

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

And then there are satsumas and tangerines still out 😂

[@ptosky]

Mandarine orange is Citrus reticulata while Clementine (Citrus × clementina) is a hybrid between mandarine orange and sweet orange. So different fruits.

[@Makawav]

I'm really not sure how you guys expect us to pick a winner. We don't get to taste them and therefore, we are all losers.

I've being on KZbin like 10 years I guess and the majority of channels I actively follow are British, and the fact that i recently discovered you (like 2 weeks ago) offends me a lot cuz I'm really enjoying and loving your content! And also you guys of course (I really want a chef husband now. I love to make pastry and stuff so imagine how fun it'd be... Anyway!!!) Mmm it might be because back then I didn't had an interest in cooking like I do now. I really wish you all the best and hope you continue to grow! I've seen that throughout the years you've only changed the format, but at the core you're still pretty much the same and NEVER EVER EVER lose that! Being genuine it's very rare these days... Love you guys!!!!!

[@tomburge5079]

Oh it's making me happy that Ben is using a Snowdonia cheese company cheese. The black bomber cheddar is to die for!

[@tonycolle8699]

Mandarin and tangerine are essentially the same thing and both refer to the many varieties of the fruit, which is in the same family as an orange. It got two names because when it came to Europe from China, it was called a "Mandarin", after one of the languages spoken there. It also came to Europe from Tangier, a Moroccan city in North Africa, hence "tangerine". Both are like a classical orange but flatter and the segments easily split from the peel, and the taste is different. A clementine is a smaller, seedless variety of the fruit. Also, for those of us in the US, when the guys use the leafy green they call "coriander", we call it "cilantro" or "Chinese (or Mexican) parsley" since we find it often in those dishes. In the US, "coriander" is reserved for the seeds of the plant. Just FYI that most folks probably already knew.

[@llamafromspace]

Tony Colle wait mandarins=tangerines? I thought tangerines were exotic. But they are growing in my garden?

[@tonycolle8699]

There are several varieties of mandarins/tangerines, such as the seedless clementine. They are only exotic if you cannot grow them yourself. They need a warm climate. Enjoy! They are my favorite citrus fruit

[@morvenduncan]

What's a satsuma then? 🤔

[@lisaripley1958]

Ben is such a good teacher! I love following his recipes!

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

Yes to more Chef V Chef pls, and FWIW I think I would've preferred the British, even though I do like a Bánh Mì, but only because I'm not a fan of spicy/chillies/peanuts.

I loved all of James' savage remarks in this. 😂

[@ayuiearules]

James! I’d definitely go for the bahn mi he used great quality ingredient and showed a lot of technique and all the different textures

[@inactiveinactive123]

If I just saw the sandwhiches I could swear that Ben made the Bahn Mi and James made the British sandwhich, but I'm so glad to see the boys have stepped out of their comfort zones!

[@ItsBeverly]

Yesss a new Sorted video! Congrats on 2 million btw ❤🎉

[@edg.ewin86]

I have an idea. Why not pitch in all the boys on one side, the chefs on one side, and have an ultimate battle using all the gadget that has been reviewed, like making ice cream in the blue box, or something like that. Should be fun.

[@stevenpawluch7162]

My vote is for Ben. He did something unique that was well executed, balanced and smart. Although James sandwich was also very well executed and balanced, I found it safe. He has made Bánh mì sandwiches so many times and he knows the guys like the sandwich a lot. Ben could have made something close to that sandwich before, but he didn't know how the guys would react to the flavours he combined. If you base it on how most food competitions judge (Taste, Execution, Plating, Creativity) I would have to give Ben the win over James based on creativity. I also don't believe, and I could be wrong, that a 90min or less baguette would be amazing. Especially that the bread didn't have time to rest and set properly. I haven't been able to make a proper 90min or less baguette and I've been a chef for ten years making bread every day. Although you could say that Ben went safe and less ambitious, I think it was a smarter overall choice. Great Job to both gentlemen tho. The food looked great and from my experience, probably tasted even better. Cheers

[@whitesonar]

Thanks for typing my thoughts :)

[@nhattuyenvodieu3103]

Even that im vietnamese i feel the same. I mean no hate but basically its a banh mi sandwich refined so you'll know it is already good. The british sandwich seems to be something created with an creative idea. if i would choose what to eat for the rest of my life i definelty go with the banh mi but for a contest i feel the british sandwich might win it for me (have to taste it tho)

[@courtxthexcutie]

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I've made my own bahn mi's (though I use Kewpee mayo instead of homemade and usually use bought baguettes), so Ben's sandwich is more intriguing because it's different. I'm with Barry on that. Definitely points for creativity. And he made chips (crisps).

[@wonderfulvillain]

I vote for Ben's! I was drooling as he was describing it, and it really is something I've never seen done before. Totally unique and appetizing 👍🏼
