What universe are we in that Mike is making the pinterest dish, Barry is making the steak dish, and Jamie is making the out of the box dish??

[@SortedFood]

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[@hannahplas2495]

Oon-Hui Ng Mike has made a lot of dishes, because he knew the Internet would love them

[@BlueGlow26]

Love this comment

[@moduspwnenz]

Jamie goes out of the box also

[@VixeyTeh]

Ok... so when Barry goes out of the box it's wild card hit or wildly miss... When Jamie goes out of the box it's breaking news with death threats! I wonder what happens when Mike, Ben and James go out of the box? I imagine Ben would break the universe...

[@F1ipf1up]

I love how Jamie just starts talking in James direction and James is like "Why?" :DD

[@sebitealeaf5207]

Jaro Nightmare Yeah that was perfect 😂

[@shankars2858]

Jamie narrating the recipe... Without a camera in front of him! Never gets old!!

“Jay are you fat skins or just big boned?” Holy moly I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.

[@kirstynguyen8983]

Hey Jamie, if it makes you feel any better about offending people with a burrito, at least they called you a chef

[@SheepdogSmokey]

I once offended an entire bar by suggesting dub-step should not be played in a cowboy bar

[@cmdrw0lf708]

Sheepdog Smokey I think you’re right in that

@@GTisJAVO1996 Why do you think I did it? I used to go to a local dive, they just had the TV volume up or the local country radio station playing. We could talk, play pool, insult each other, get shot down by the waitresses, fun times.

I really like the way you did this episode. Having uncut parts where they are arguing is amazing. Keep it up!

[@donkeymucles]

Surprised That Jamie didn’t just make the “Super mega loaded potato” with 2 pounds of cheese and Streaky bacon. I’m impressed

[@AA-km4jy]

Ethan S the hell is streaky bacon? A streak is something you get on Snapchat 😂

[@CriAleMar]

Adeline A It's basically like the typical American bacon

[@mikehawk2148]

Adeline A Oh dear, I never thought I'd see the day where someone's affiliation with the word "streak" is from Snapchat, I am an old man

[@SortedFood]

No he used chorizo which is really, really original and out of the box for him....

[@dnlkr]

He already did that in the baked potato battle.

[@EmoExpression]

9:45 I love when James is sloooowly reaching for the well... I'll call it a puffy Yorkshire pud

[@stone5against1]

"What if you replace the fluffy middle with steak?" Well, THAT shut Jamie up quickly!

[@goldfishy38]

"You experimental swine" is a phrase I will use way more often

[@becknielsen2]

I feel like whoever makes it into the thumbnail should also get a brownie point

[@NatashaEh]

Beck Nielsen I agree!

[@hongngoc19]

But then you now who wins before you watched it. And also, I think, is the thumbnail dish just the prettiest for many clicks but it doesn't mean it has to be the tastiest. For me it doesn't has to change :)

[@rikzz0r]

But it would add another layer to the battle, also giving purely visually pleasing recipes a fighting chance. It would also mean Ben does not have to pick between visuals and taste, he would always judge on taste. (remember the cereal battle where he picked Mike's)

[@VixeyTeh]

Well... since Mike does the editing... :p

[@lorenzopale]

9:00 "Don't finger my potatoes" In italian "potato" is how we call the... lady part. Appropriate

[@F1ipf1up]

And did people really rage against the paella burrito? Man, first world problems... Part of the beauty of cooking is trying new things! I personally would love seeing Sauerkraut, Bratwurst or Sauerbraten being used in new ways (German here) What you are doing with those potatoes alone is amazing. Once my kitchen is complete I will try many of the things you have done! Keep it up guys and keep finding new things to try :)

[@Asurez]

Have you ever watched a video of an Italian dish being made by a non-Italian with a slight twist? I can guarantee you that there will be comments how they did the dish wrong and tell everyone how it's "done properly" by their mama.

[@F1ipf1up]

Yeah, I've read those but I usually do not pay any attention to them :D I'm just there to enjoy the food and get inspired to do stuff myself It's exhausting really. It's „just" food. At the end of the day, it's important if it tastes good to those who eat it. Like everything, food evolves too but people do not get that :D We humans can be pretty stupid and small-minded at times, huh? The more I'm glad that they did not let them stop those news :)

[@Jodabomb24]

I think it's more "if you know the rules, you can break them". It's the ignorance they don't like.

[@F1ipf1up]

You may be right. However Ben and James are professionals and even in the ultimate battles Barry, Jamie and Mike get help from them with the recipes and they get a lot of their ideas from the internet i.e. other peoples. They definitively know the rules and are thus allowed to break them. There is another thing why I deem such thinking a bit small-minded: Many good things get discovered by accident and People who are still learning are allowed to break the rules if it helps them improve. And sometimes the original is simply not to their taste so why not alter it? You say its the ignorance they don't like and that could be right. But then they are being rather ignorant themselves I think. But people like to whine and nag about things on the internet anyway :D That's why I pay them no attention in the first place I'm just here for the food :D

[@sarahb.4680]

I agree! Cooking is all about mixing great flavours and that's what they were! Some people get to high and mighty about the wrong things I guess... But I mean i'm sure they had their reasons!

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

Great Battle. I almost died laughing at Jamie's perfect timing with the skillet placement on top of the blender with Mike standing there dumbfounded with both hands filled with greens!!!

[@TheNikkibain]

Not sure how I got here but the chaotic energy is amazing. Mike smacking the pan with his head is ridiculously stupid... I love it

[@nikolinaeriksson990]

Jamie talking to empty air never gets old. I love it every time 😂

[@andershelgeson647]

As a Swedish person, i must take action and say: that looks pretty good, why not? Also: it's food for Petes sake, Spaniards.

[@LoryLilyBomber]

I loved Jamie's reaction to Barry's dish. Takes a bite, moment of processing, and then "...oh Man..." and the look on his face was great. "And the horseradish...!!!"

[@emilsn91]

I really like Jamies idea! I would actually like to copy it and make it a litte more me! But the idea is pretty solid! High Five!

[@Esther-oz4ts]

Ahahahaha Barry cooks like me! OH NO I FORGOT...GET IN THERE FLAVOUR, COME ON, PLEASE GET IN!! AHHH IT'S GOING TO OVERCOOK!!! I hope it's still edible...

Barry: "What if you replaced the middle with steak?" Jamie: *inwardly screams realizing this should have been his idea*

[@toastedgarlicofficial]

Mike I love you so much and I am always biased towards you but.... Jamie’s dish looks *really* good

[@kdevi08]

Funny when an ingredient goes missing, everyone automatically thinks Jamie has eaten it 🤣

[@taeadise]

What I mostly like about SORTEDfood is the BATTLES.

[@Maryam0]

Spanish people are very serious about their paella haha. The same thing happened to Jamie Oliver because he dared to add chorizo to his paella.

[@marcow246]

But did it taste good

[@saravonsega94]

jamie? doing a battle recipe with chorizo? groundbreaking!!

[@HAMMERonYOUTUBE]

The banter this episode had me rolling 😂

[@Orangerandomness]

This was definitely the most fun battle in a long time! Big fan of the banter you guys all have. It's something you don't see all that often on KZbin nowadays, and It's what makes your videos so great, particularly these battles.

[@kagewar]

I laughed way too loud at 2:25 am at the “so are we going skins or what” line and Jamie lifting up his shirt.

[@ethancampbell215]

This was a walk in the park for them because they’ve got so much experience with them 😂😂 at every opportunity available they pinch the chef’s unwanted skins, season them with paprika and roast them until crispy and scoff them like a child scoffs sweets 😂

I think Jamie's rap broke Barry

[@alexandrab2817]

I absolutely love you guys! I watch your videos religiously every week but still watching some I haven’t seen! I would love to see a series of quick and easy meals for a family! But make it chef vs normals! Because Jamie and Barry have kids it would be interesting to see what they could come up with compared to Ben and Jamie! Just a thought :) being a parent I would much appreciate it :D Also I think every women needs a Jamie! Someone that goes all in on a Yorkshire is perfect!

[@katieblasingame4664]

Mike. Only real potato one. The rest had way more fillings then potato

[@SeraphimCramer]

Well, considering it was supposed to be a loaded potato skin battle, Mike's actually the only one who didn't load anything into his potato skins (except for more potato skins).

[@yukononun]

Good thing that it's a LOADED potato challenge.

[@David-ud9ju]

Yeah, Barry's wasn't loaded potato skins; it was just a roast that was piled on top of each other and the roast potato hapened to be at the bottom.

[@Chimera515]

J: Mike you having some? M: No. -- Next frame shows Mike chomping on that loaded burger skin I'm so hungry :(

[@winjgo12]

oh lord i just realized theres that fuss on the paella burrito.. had to laugh so hard i thought it's a joke til I googled it.

Mike knocking the pan off the blender with his head into the sink is one of the things I've laughed hardest as at since watching your channel.
