Ben has the humility and confidence at the same time to be a great chef. He immediately knows when James bested him and goes with it. Not this time, though.

[@dowkinners4106]

This episode really shows more than ever just how passionate Ben is about food and being a chef. We can all see it anyway but today but the way he was so visibly thrown of his guard (considering he usually never missed a beat) by having his food judged by not just a 1 but a 2 MS Chef. That reaction is one of somebody who is deeply connected to their craft. Well done both Chefs. I would have been shaking two if i had a master of my field looking at my work, especially if i didn't know until id finished it!

[@SortedFood]

It's tricky to keep secrets in the SORTED studio... But that one knocked James and I for 6! Caught us way off guard!

[@arklytte]

I totally feel for Ben! Many years ago I was working as a sous chef in a high end hotel. I was putting the final touches on a seven course tasting menu for two that the chef had asked for for a VIP, when from out of the chef's office walks the chef, and Anthony Frikken Bourdain!! (turns out they were school chums and Bourdain was in town for some conference...this was before all the TV stuff really took off, back when he was 'just' a famous chef) I damn near sliced by thumb off I was so surprised (was putting the finishing touches on the amuse bouche). I was completely starstruck and just sort of stammered out what an honour it was to meet him. Later, we were cleaning up for the night and he came down to compliment me on the food...one of the proudest moments of my cheffing career.

[@arklytte]

@Taps fan Thanks! It's one of those moments that has always stuck with me. I was devastated when I found out he died, especially *how* he died. His TV persona was very unlike how he was in person...sorta like I'm given to understand Gordon Ramsey is. He was jokey (*VERY* funny, in a 'dry wit/snark' sort of way), gave me a couple tips, and even signed my copy of his book (which is still one of my most prized possessions). He was a giant in the industry and a truly amazing human being, and I miss him.

[@seraphale]

@@SortedFood When James saw who the judge was, he looked like he'd found the 9th level of hell! I imagine that if he'd known who his audience would be, he would have chosen a different dish altogether. 🤣 It's a hard-knock life!!

[@raisachoudhury4071]

@@seraphale Omg I couldn't agree more. Though James's dish was still amazing, it didn't really incorporate Japanese influence to the extent that Ben's did, so I understand why Ben won in the end. James's dish came off as very British to me

[@gemstatemama]

One of the highlights... Barry & Jamie rescuing the potato skins from being tossed in the bin, their gleeful, self-congratulation over their appetizer ("we might win this battle") ...and the careful sake pairing! 😂 This series has given me a totally new perpective on sake...it's good with more than just sushi, and worth further exploration. Thanks, SORTEDfood team! Edit: Oops...sake, not saki! Saki is plural for sake, right? 😉

[@ChocolateFantasies]

@@xionmemoria pretty sure there's no plural form in japanese at all. just pairing count nouns with counter words (e.g. pieces)

[@nadtz]

I have 2 bottles of alcohol I've spent more than a hundred dollars on, one a bottle of Mcallans and one was a pretty amazing bottle of Sake. And yeah Sake can go with anything and some pretty good bottles out there aren't even that expensive, though availability might depend on location.

[@Marcusandersson1337]

As soon as James sees Chef Ishii, you can tell on his face "12:13" that he knows he is in big trouble with his dish being judged by a Japenese chef. It is so far out of Japenese cooking. Personally, I would eat Jameses feast every day over Bens here but sadly the Japenese theme is lost because of the feast and many different tastes. "EDIT" 14:42 Barry "That pares beautifully!" Chef Ishii 16:02 "Little bit of confusion". This is why the Normals lost in New York ;D Great videos Sorted team, always look forward to your next video!

[@corbinbrier0]

Curveball Ideas: Use only one hand to do everything for the amount of time chosen. Switch meals and follow the other person's recipe for the amount of time chosen. Everything in the fridge/oven/on the stove needs to be taken out/off for the amount of time chosen. Plate your dishes blindfolded. Plate someone else's dish. Add one random ingredient chosen by Ben or James and incorporate it into your dish. (If possible) Turn off the lights for the amount of time chosen and cook in the dark. You can do one minor sabotage to dish of your choice. Cannot choose the same dish as someone else or your own. These are just a few of the ideas I had. I love the challenge videos, keep 'em coming!
