ULTIMATE GROCERY SHOP BATTLE (Ep 2/3 BARRY) | Sorted Food

[@RaneStari]

Barry is truly Mr. Random Capable. Sometimes he's just on it and it all works, but sometimes he doesn't have it and it all goes wrong.... but you never know which Barry you're going to get because he's always confident until it's gone pear shaped.

[@SortedFood]

Exactly.... you never know which kind of Barry is going to turn up 😂

[@digiscream]

@@SortedFood - so what you're saying is, Barry's basically the French rugby team?

[@andyt2k]

Thing is they had to plan this in advance and had a limited budget that they had to stretch so he didn't have the freedom to make chicken tikka masala ice cream on a bed of freeze dried squirrel

It a very rare sight.

Ben: "Cool, calm, collected." Mike: "I don't know this man." I'm actually really proud of Barry! He did a great job. I always root for Barry in battles because his ideas sometimes go quite crazy and I want to see him succeed.

[@lewismaddock1654]

No joke he totally killed it. It's like Kush lent him his powers for a day. And that style of food doesn't seem like Barry at all. I was almost certain he'd go for pasta.

I love how much this series is underlining your guys friendship. In this episode everything is going well for barry and jamie/mike are jokingly competing against him, while still wanting their friend to succeed. In the last epsiode mike was unhappy with his result and the others really tried to cheer him up. It is very wholesome. Love it!

[@janmay3901]

You summed it up perfectly and that's why I love this channel!

[@Shelsight]

The longer Barry’s hair gets, the stronger his performance is in the kitchen. Good job Samson :) It’s also giving serious Rhett McLaughin (Rhett & Link) vibes.

[@GIBBO4182]

I commented a couple of videos ago…Joe Wicks vibes!

[@Oldladynextdoor]

Pony tail needed he touches it too much hair in his cooking??

[@Shadowreaper5]

Barry truly embodied the "home cook adapting in a pinch" vibe this episode. "oh no, I have an extra tortilla. What do I do?" As if it couldn't just be put away for use another time. Barry rose to Ben's bait and turned it into a fantastic crumb! Once again, I really do want to see a follow up to this series on smart shopping techniques.

[@davidgustavsson4000]

I always put tortillas away for another time. Another time never comes.

[@margowsky]

I've got a tin of crab in the pantry. I'm going to Barry Taylor it!!

[@SortedFood]

We know right? Awesome combination!

[@karennoneyabeeswax7929]

I know I’ve said this on other episodes, but while Mike pushes the limit on traditional foods and Jamie is great with meat, Barry goes all in on going outside the box. I really admire his courage. Barry may suffer through more miserable failures than the others, but when it works, it’s brilliant. If someone on this channel is going to invent a new, innovative dish for the 21st century, I’d put money on Barry even before Ebbers.

[@ErrePi89]

What, his art pancake wasn't revolutionary? :P

[@peterbrown3781]

Mike's "I don't know this man" part way through sums up every Sorted viewers thoughts

Mr Barry, crab salad….. yum👍

[@CaliseSellers]

Everyone's so shocked Barry did well, but I think he said the key at 12:35 : I think he does well when he actually plans on paper ahead of time lol, and he takes time to think it through, rather than the first idea that comes to mind when he sees random stuff in the kitchen. He also did good this time playing to his strengths while not sacrificing creativity.

[@zdoriksandorik]

I've been your subscriber for more than 5 years, and because of the war, I had to flee Ukraine. Your videos genuinely have been a saving grace, both in terms of lifting my spirits, and helping to cook smarter and budget. I'm delighted to see you're a part of an initiative which supports Ukraine and would love for you to explore some Eastern European cusine later.

[@ethancampbell215]

I love hearing stories like this because obviously it’s an absolute tragedy that you’re forced to escape your home to survive but when life is drowned in darkness and despair there’s something, like Sorted videos, that bring a bit of light and let you escape reality and forget what’s occurring! I hope things worked out in one form or other and you found safe refuge somewhere and the whole world is praying that the current chaos comes to an end sooner rather than later

[@marghanfreeman5194]

Baz is such a dark horse at the most unexpected times! Let's go Baz, those dishes looked bangin!

[@alexdavis5766]

Is Jamie’s “Hello, welcome to the channel” monotone opening going to be his new catchphrase?

[@LadyLenaki]

I feel like Barry's style of cooking is most similar to my own. It's basically "I wonder what happens if I do this?" and "I found this new thing at the store..." and also a lot of chaotic thoughts.

[@xXRavynAverreXx]

you know, Baz gets crapped on quite a bit, but I am SO proud of him... I almost live for the days that Barry shines. His confidence when he has a plan (and executes it properly) is cute and it always makes me smile... good on you Baz... Keep it up, mate. I believe in you.

[@Vertico]

If this Barry was in all of the competition and badge videos he’d be in the lead by a metric mile. That being said it’s always fun trying to guess if its Michelin Barry or Manic Barry as the episode starts.

[@anjaliefernando4915]

It’s the use of metric mile for me 😂😂

[@AuntK68]

It's great to see Barry have an entire episode be such a success, especially when the guys' favorite dish was one he'd never cooked before. Well done, Barry!

[@erinhowett3630]

I've been using the Sidekick app for 2 weeks now and I love it! Whoever developed the recipe for the creamy orzo with watercress, it was delicious!

[@SortedFood]

Honestly Erin, that's amazing to hear. We're so glad you like the Sidekick app so far!

[@countraven8934]

Thats just what I have eaten, while watching this video...😆 Really good recipe!

[@theampski3794]

I have waited for this day--when the confident, non-frantic, creative Barry came out. It was lovely. Well done, Baz!

[@gaurib]

In the years I have watched sorted video's, this seemed such a calm video. Barrys execution was so amazing. Love this series guys

[@markmcguire2009]

Barry did it right this time, he barry'd it on paper BEFORE he started to cook, so he had his "creativity" but had a PLAN

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The only way I know that Barry hasn’t been possessed by an efficient demon is the fact that he uses Packet Rice and a very suspicious Egg Bath lmao

[@54Aakriti]

These dishes feel like they've been made by a chef...Barry really knocked it out of the park in this one :) The bar has been set REALLY HIGH!

[@LocIsBac]

I'd love to see what James and Poppy could come up with from this format. or other Guest Chef's with a different background and culinary style like Karan. Also watching the unlimited budget battles makes me wonder how close to expensive stuff Ben could get with a slightly higher budget but absolutely no processed, per-prepared, or packaged ingredients. All From Scratch vs. Big Buck Brands

[@bludelight]

Holy smokes, Baz! You knocked it out the park. Those look so good and 2 of the meals had time to spare. I need to watch this again to follow what you did and try them myself.

[@bineliem4063]

I really love Mike's saltiness in this video. That's true bromance

[@strumcrystrum]

It's truly remarkable how together Barry has it here. Mike saying "I do not know this man" says it all -- it's like Barry got ambitious and learned mindfulness to get his nerves under control or something

[@its-aydonus6842]

This may be a competition but the positivity coming from Jamie and Mike on the sidelines during the episode is intoxicatingly wholesome.

[@philip4534]

1:30 is how I feel when I cook on the sidekick app. It says it’ll take 25 minutes, but it takes me 7.5 minutes to cut come things and zest a couple lemons. The times on sidekick don’t reflect the prep time very well for the average home cook. I still use it because it reduces my decision fatigue and the food is good

[@sshishegar]

The good news is, with things like prep over time you'll get faster with the practice! I cut my time by not caring so much if they are perfectly the same size. Or you could get a chopper device if you just can't be arsed!

[@dabihm498]

The excitement of Mike and Jamie when Barry made a mistake is really up there

[@oon-huing1729]

True friends for sure!

[@yujiaoyama9340]

Been rooting for Barry since the Ultimate Battle days. I’m always up for his out-of-the-box ideas. Although some days are just miserable fails.. 🤣 But today is not the day. Woots! Everything look so delish and inviting 🤤

[@ukgroucho]

WOW! Baz did a spectacular job. Calm focussed - not derailed when his first microwave dressing went sideways. All of this dished looked inviting . Really good!

[@Pantastical]

In Barry we believe. What wholesome video. Good job Barry.

[@J.L.Media.]

So proud! I always thought Bazza had the highest potential and was the best “normal” cook but always let himself down with bad decisions- today he pulled it off!

[@joeloverton4327]

That was actually quite impressive from both the dished themselves to the calmness he had throughout even finishing well before the allotted time. Very good show. I am really looking forward to Jamie's if he can stand a chance to beat it.

[@tigrezangel]

Well planned and prepared Barry is phenomenal!!! Cooking doesn't have to be messy, stressful nor expensive, and everything looks delicious. I'm going to try the garlic tortilla for sure.

[@Getpojke]

Okay... What have you done with the real Barry!? Not only was he calm & collected all the way through, but he'd planned with a lot of forethought & still managed a successful riff with the extra wrap & used it well. He's his own worst enemy sometimes but he really came out swinging for himself today. I'd very happily eat all three dishes.

[@Paul_Verbruggen24601]

This was hands down Barry's best episode in like ever!!!! This shows truly what a fantastic shef he can be, if he doesn't want to go of route, and sometimes loses the Finnish by 100 feet. Nowe he was calm collectable and in charge of everything. Just like with the lemon pasta recipe 😍

[@nancycurtis3230]

I have always hated cooking shows, but got absolutely hooked by yours. Binge watched, giggled, binge watched, giggled. Love the program. I love cooking. Love learning more about all types of food. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia.

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I saw a great hack the other day for halving a quantity cherry tomatoes: put a plate upside down, put the tomatoes on the inner 'ring' and place another place the same size on top, right way up. Gently press down whilst cutting the tomatoes with a large knife. Ebbers probably already knows that one but it impressed me. 🙃 It all looks delicious. I'd give it full marks. 👍 I don't envy Jamie at all! 😇

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Jamie: “How are you checking that it’s cooked through?” Barry: “Um, just with belief.” And that, children, is called scientific workability.

[@mabayo77]

I am honestly so proud of Barry! I don’t think I’ve ever watched him cook and felt so relaxed. It was a pleasant surprise 🥲

[@randalthor741]

Barry, Barry, Barry, I am impressed. Each and every one of those dishes looked fantastic (I don't eat crab, though, so I'd want to substitute something for the crab in that salad), and there was no mad scrambling, no panic. After that performance I'll be amazed if Baz doesn't win this.

[@tanja9364]

I do a salad very similar to this, but with tuna (tinned or fresh).

[@ALLCAPSRAGE10]

I'm liking this series, it's giving the boys plenty of screen time each, when sometimes in simultaneous battles one person tends to get less screen time

[@JaySay]

Hot Damn! Way to go Barry! I've been secretly rooting for you more than the others after your Food Hell from the original Brownie Battle, and even though you have your idiosyncrasies sometimes, you really have gotten to be a great thinker in the kitchen. Props, man, those dishes looked fabulous!

[@Gilly-bean]

Pul Biber ( Bhi- berr) : chili flakes. Pul means tiny flakes, biber is pepper ;) When you have red onion next to shish kebap, a classic companion is red onion seasoned and massaged with sumak and salt, especially next to roasted tomatoes.

[@lumberjacksnackpack]

I would love to see a badge competition about substitution! Can the normals use their food knowledge to think on their feet if they grocery store is doesn't have an ingredient they need? You could judge on creativity and effectiveness of the substituted ingredient

[@JesseCohen]

Simplest way I can think of to say this, Simply Baz-tastic! But it stands to reason why it worked so well. He didn’t over think his preparations, just focused on riffing with the ingredients. It’s that muscle memory that afforded him the ability to multitask, stay calm, and come in under time twice! It’s a big reason why I focus on learning new techniques in the kitchen, then repeat them till they’re second nature, rather than focusing on recipes and ingredients. Very well done…
