Why thank you ;)

Cafe Reconcile is doing a great thing! I love what they are teaching! If I ever get to New Orleans, I'm going to stop there.

[@bcaye]

For sure.

[@kristinowens4972]

Barry"There's an alligator! Why is no one else panicking?" I laughed so hard I I spit out my coffee. Thanks guys I needed that.

[@fcAbby]

The southerner in me was waiting for the alligator to appear and that Barry’s reaction was about what I expected.

[@theuniquebean]

I love that restaurant that helps children. I want more places to adopt that mentality for all children. All kids need those social skills. I think it is something that is truly lacking in society today. The fact that SORTED highlights these types of places makes me love them even more. ❤️

[@itang743]

I love how Barry kisses Jamie on the cheek 😂😂 i love your guys friendship

[@erinhassey204]

It was so cute and sweet! 🥺

[@noneofyourbusiness7094]

I loved learning about Cafe Reconcile! What a wonderful way to teach life skills that can make a difference for generations! :)

[@lewismaddock1654]

08:47 Jamies face is priceless!!! The raw expression of utter contempt for Barry's remark makes me want to paint him.

[@morganroberts5280]

6:20 Barry explaining us his Po’boy Meanwhile Ben is trying to be quiet in the background, only problem is that we can see him in the mirror that is in front of Barry 😂 Oh Ben 😂

[@SortedFood]

😂

[@lizatonix]

But why am I crying at the Café Reconcile bit? That's so amazing.

[@hattierose5563]

You would think that after all this time I would remember to eat before 4pm on Sunday. But no, once again my insides are trying to eat themselves whilst I salivate into my keyboard.

[@thisdamnthingy]

Lunchtime in Australia right now. I had lunch, then watched the video, regret is a real thing.

[@izzy1221]

YES! It’s been a while since we had a good three way battle! I missed them so much.

[@britfofana4060]

I appreciate that Cafe Reconcile was highlighted in this episode! What they do for the youth in their community is absolutely amazing. Thank you for having it on your channel.

[@robertchristian6175]

They all have such great chemistry with one another.

[@SortedFood]

It's because we hate each other. 😉

[@icechiang]

I have missed watching the normals go head to head and this did not disappoint! Everyone did incredible jobs and no sabotage, so awesome to see>

[@luthienprice2949]

* to head ^_^

[@bcaye]

Barry kissing Jamie over his snacking bacon response made my day.

[@skylerheck7805]

Me: I should take a shower Sorted: (drops a banger vid) Me: ooh po boy

[@SortedFood]

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

[@FUDGECRAFT4848]

Dude same

Sameeeeeee literally me rn

[@LeilaniLovesElephants]

Me too. Should be writing exams. But... STRANGER DANGER!!!! and Julienne Julienne Julienne Are you expecting an answer? You're not lad enough to do that! Is this how you know your tattoo is cheesy? New goals: my phone stops autocorrecting lad to lab.

[@kirab3630]

"It looks like a transfer that came out of a Kinder Egg" Laughed so hard I dropped my Po'Boy

[@RobbieBowman]

You’ve made this Louisiana boy proud. And I have to say how impressed I am of Mike. Well done, sir.

[@watergirl403]

I’m so curious: do you call ahead and make reservations, or just stroll up and hope they let you film? How do you balance the planning and the spontaneity of getting recommendations?

[@SortedFood]

We ask the community for recommendations before traveling. We narrow those down by talking to local sorted club members, then we contact the restaurant and celebrate the recommendation with them.

[@craigezard7344]

SORTEDfood what happens if they say no? Or does that simply mean you dont film there?

[@glennzanotti3346]

In New Orleans, you are going to do best using local recommendations from trustworthy locals. There is a lot of good food there, and a lot of tourist trap food, too -- just like any major tourist destination.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

@@SortedFood Can you put the name/address of that non-profit place in the description so we can go there if/when we're next in NOLA?

[@Mitwadus]

Sheepdog Smokey cafe Reconcile.

[@chillaxter13]

You should've had a local judge as well!

[@veanell]

As someone from New Orleans - I would have picked Jamie's. It's honestly something I would expect to find in the city. Both of the others break a lot of unspoken rules about po'boys.

[@SortedFood]

Rules are made to be broken 😉

[@Uncle_Smidge]

@@SortedFood SSSHHH! YOU'LL START PO'BOYGATE

[@Jodabomb24]

Mike clearly didn't go for Leidenheimer and that is enough reason for me to discount it.

[@grouch314]

Out of curiosity, what are some of the unspoken po'boy rules?

[@MegaCakeFan]

Agree and disagree, the only real rule for poboys is to use french bread, Other than that it's pretty fair game, But the carrots thing was... offputting. But only because our trinity uses bell peppers instead of carrots but as long as they had fun and aren't disrespecting it, who really cares? If you really wanna nitpick, you don't mix roast beef and shrimp since the shrimp flavor would get lost. Like for gumbo, It tends to be either seafood gumbo or sausage and chicken (There are other variations but get what I mean)

[@katedouthat6918]

Personally, I think I would have chosen Barry's dish had I been in a restaurant. The cajun shrimp combined with fruit just speaks to me. Especially if it was the middle of summer and after a long day, I think it would be really refreshing.

[@Toastybees]

Sees you panicking from seeing an alligator. "laughs in Floridian." Mate that's like seeing a seagull down here. Shoo them off if they're annoying but otherwise if you don't bother them they won't bother you.

[@carbro762]

I’ll one up you, “laughs in Louisianian”

[@Toastybees]

@@carbro762 lol I actually lived there too for quite a few years and besides the food and French names they're basically the same place.

[@alyssat7809]

@@Toastybees except Louisiana doesn't have a subreddit like FloridaMan, lol, and all the better for it!!

[@hannahbumbebee]

I'm also from Florida and I was thinking the same thing! I was laughing that entire scene at how freaked out they were getting over the alligator

[@Toastybees]

@@alyssat7809 That's only because Louisiana doesn't have a thing like the Sunlight Law that Florida has. Florida openly reports their crimes while most states choose to keep them secret. It makes them an easy target when they're one of the few who has the balls who have nothing to hide. Your state legislators are cowards.

[@julietran2427]

I love how you end these series by highlighting the good that is being done in each city!

[@richardburns3886]

Born and raised in Louisiana, I think you guys did amazing showing off New Orleans and its beauty and stayed true to the food in your battle. Thank you so much!!!

[@Blondie62988]

I'm glad you guys took my recommendation of the shrimp po'boy at the hole-in-the-wall near the Banksy painting/Louis Armstrong Park! It's definitely not a typical dining experience but it's where the locals eat and those shrimp are so incredibly delicious. Thanks for showing all types of places to eat in NOLA!

[@nickgreen7929]

I’ve lived in New Orleans my whole life. I love that they celebrated so much of what makes this city special

[@maealoril1794]

I really love that you chose reconcile for the spotlight and that they encourage the better person not just better skills. Thats what we need now adays, patience, politeness and caring for each other.

[@gavinbrewes863]

I think this level of content demands a Netflix mini series or a Channel 4 something. Your videos are great, truly great

[@Uncle_Smidge]

An hourlong Netflix special would at least be really cool! They have said they prefer KZbin because going to TV means a lot of choices get made for them and they could no longer be so transparent or free with their content or schedule.

[@gavinbrewes863]

A Smidge of Boise I respect that, shame there’s a compromise to give this team the exposure I’d like to see

[@cullenbrant2524]

That bit about Cafe Reconcile was one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen. Have to stop by next time I'm in LA!

[@andyt2k]

"blackened, bbq, shrimp" - Doesn't get much more southern than that

[@mj13713]

Baz freaking out in the swamp is the funniest thing

[@melanieswang9475]

Jordan's kitchen is gorgeous! I'm so glad you guys got to see her again this time!

[@leighellencarson]

I rewatch these videos and how much you enjoy each city and your advocacy for giving back and I just fall in love with this channel all over again. Y’all are the best. 🍳♥️

[@birdiekay686]

I love that you guys make time to explore the beautiful natural places you go, too. I LOVE how pumped Mike was about the dragonfly landing on him! :)

[@camilledemars6488]

As a south LA native, watching the boys kayak around bayou Manchac was easily one of the best things I've seen on this channel. Thanks for making NOLA look great, guys!

[@katedouthat6918]

My stomach growled when Mike was explaining how he was making his roux. It looked so good.

[@mrsjessiecakes]

How am I expected to start the week with no dad joke and no James? 🥺🥺

[@SortedFood]

Dad jokes will return soon - unfortunately.

[@angelikapaulailagan6021]

No one: Absolutely no one: Mike: Stranger Danger! Stranger danger! STRANGER DANGER!!!

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Mike was adorable. However this "no one" trend is inane and puerile.

[@melsyoutube]

Ingrid Dubbel - agreed, especially because we all saw mike was screaming because of Ben opening the drawer. it wasn't unprovoked

[@AeroGold1]

@@melsyoutube looked like Ben's hand was getting a little too close to Mike's "alligator sausage"

[@billyw8186]

LOL at Ben trying to sneak into the kitchen fridge during Barry's po'boy introduction around 6:30. You can see him in the mirror trying to move slow and quiet!

[@glennzanotti3346]

All three po'boys took some liberties with tradition, but Mike's caught me off guard. I eat boudin on a regular basis, and never once thought about using it in a po'boy. But, all-in-all, I think Sorted did a good job of representing creole and cajun cuisine on this trip.

[@edwinthomaslijo5158]

Barry dancing is the real game changer

[@SortedFood]

YAS QUEEN!

[@joelmogindol3348]

At this point Barry, Mike and Jamie are chefs ngl

[@BoredSoprano]

david shane I laugh when I see them sneak in the label “normal” next to their names, seriously who are they trying to kid?! we’ve watched the videos there’s nothing normal about them, and that’s not a bad thing at all

[@adde9506]

Pretty sure they tell Ben and James what they want to make and get handed a recipe.

[@linannsingh6165]

They did level up from Normals to Foodies.

[@TootinNBootin2011]

I absolutely adore at the 6:20 time stamp Ebbers trying to quietly open the refrigerator door!

[@melanieswang9475]

It was so nice seeing all three normals battle it out again! Hopefully you guys can do more 3-way battles when you're back home! 🤞

[@theartist_harlivi]

I again enjoyed this so much. You all seem to have so much genuine respect for New Orleans. It’s really wonderful to see.

[@ruthboeder6265]

OMG Kitchen Bouquet was my grandma's secret for amazing gravy every time. Thanks for the throwback to my childhood Sunday dinners! ♥️

[@r.o.1063]

You should head to Memphis, TN and check out the food there. Lots to try besides the famous ribs--soul food and a renaissance of foodie stuff going on.

[@katedouthat6918]

8:46 the look of betrayal.

[@justintankersley5922]

Literally the ending of this video made an already great video sensational! Thank you for highlighting greatness throughout the community!

[@JWPSmith21]

Grew up in New Orleans, and no, not everything was 100% perfect, but you guys did an overall great job of representing New Orleans. Both of your New Orleans videos were absolutely fantastic. Amazing job guys!

[@kendallgibson]

Ohhhh man... I love the St. Charles/fried chicken eggs benedict at Ruby Slipper. I love New Orleans. It's a city that's so special to me, and I'm glad I'm back nearby after moving away for a few months. I feel so happy watching this and I only just started the video.

[@2CraftySeniors]

Really enjoyed the little interview bit at the end with the restaurateurs and glad to see that they are trying to train their people right. Too many companies don't bother training at all anymore.

[@JJKChicago]

Just when you thought ultimate battles couldn't get any better, Sorted mashes Game Changers format with head-to-head-to-head Ultimate Battles! Love it!

[@brianturnbough4955]

Biscuits with butter and syrup sounds good for breakfast 😋👍

[@carbro762]

As a native the swamp tour was sooooo funny to me.

[@CRASHbrandiQ]

Thanks for highlighting Cafe Reconcile! One of my favorite places in NOLA!!

[@BoredSoprano]

A chorus of “Oh Ben” followed by “dirty Ebbers” 😂 Actual tears of laughter

[@Seanmauger]

I swear whenever I just have food I watch something from this channel and I get hungry again

[@sharnriver8123]

Realness, I'm digging these game changers but I also enjoy classic Sorted. II can't wait to get back to the kitchen again soon :P

[@kathyerickson9402]

Love the piece on Cafe Reconcile. Soft skills are just what so many folks need to learn and the restaurant business...both front of house and back of house...really tests those skills. What a great opportunity for the youth who are invited to participate. Best to everyone!

[@Faith-tq8os]

I need to stop watching this channel when I’m hungry 😂

[@reneer2280]

Wow that Etouffee Mike made looks amazing! You can see the flavor in it. Totally changed what I will be making for dinner this evening. While the only store that has gator is closed on Sundays I do have shrimp and some boudin I've smoked in the freezer. I reckon that should be pretty darn good over some rice.

[@Erikaahh_Mae]

I can't help but look in the mirrors especially at 6.20 where Ben is opening the fridge so delicately and quietly as to nnot disturb Barry talking 😂

[@traybake1]

Just want to say i am absolutely LOVING this format of game changers! it's amazing and it making me add so any places to my holiday list. Great job boys, thank you so much.

[@Bryan_K_27435]

Mike ain't a normal no more, that guy's got skill and has improved the most out of the three! Got to say though, this was one of the most awesomest battles I've seen so far, they all played to their strengths and made what they liked, good job lads! Have been craving myself some po'boys since last week and this reignited the craving again.. ;_;

[@zoramystic2ify916]

I loved visiting New Orleans or NOLA as my husband and I call it. He was born and raised there.

[@kimmoxie2160]

YT needs to get their sh*t together, no notification again... good thing I know the upload schedule by heart❤️

[@SortedFood]

What?! Have you clicked the bell symbol on our channel page?

[@motherofanarchy]

I didn't get a notification either. I've had the bell clicked since the bell was there. I periodically unclick and reclick it just to make sure youtube doesn't think I'm a dead account. I still don't get all the notifications. KZbin is whack. :/

[@kimmoxie2160]

SORTEDfood heck yeah, that bell is always “on”. But I never miss a video either way 😉

[@tams805]

I was rooting for Mike and was pleasantly surprised he won! Going with something that celebrates the area (but obviously needing to taste good) was what was needed!

[@Ottawa3453]

3:26 - At that point Mike decided to not be the alligator's lunch, but make the alligator his lunch :P

[@festussmom6364]

I saw Mike pull his t-shirt away from his chest…😂 Mike, it’s called Louisiana humidity! 💋🧚🏻‍♀️❤️🇺🇸

[@dmason530]

The bbq shrimp is one of the easiest dishes to make. and it tastes fantastic. I got the recipe from a restaurant I visited the first time I was in New Orleans. And have since gone back to NOLA 4 more times. This is a city that feels like a country within the U.S. The people, the music the food, the vibe out of this world. Love this city. Greetings from Canada.

[@dianac52176]

What a wonderful work place at Reconcile. We need thousands, hundreds of thousands more like it.

[@yourdadsotherfamily3530]

Me being from Louisiana coast I am super impressed you guys came out and gave our food some love again. I’m loving these videos about creole cuisine from you guy

[@merandaseeber684]

Im a United states citizen and one thing I'd love to see when you fellas are over here is to see someone from the US that has experienced our foods to try along with you. I haven't seen all the videos, so if you've already done that good for you:) anywho thought I'd say what I'd like to see. Thanks guys! Huge fan

[@madmooster72]

Love these battle videos, lads! Would love to see some more Mystery Box Beat the Chef videos or anything where you have to use the less useful gadgets! 😁

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

Yes! Jamie used Mt. Olive pickles on his. They are the best pickles, especially for bread & butter pickles. Thank you for using a Southern pickle in a Southern sandwich!

[@sarswatidevi]

I love that you all explored the area...and helped educate the sorted community....its a given that all the food looks so yummy cause it's you guys! But thanks for adventuring into to the swamp!

[@nwooley83]

[@ianrose6218]

I know it's probably a pipe dream, but this series is just so interesting to watch, and after binging all of these videos, all I can hope for is that you do a Game Changers video for some place in Michigan. I'd honestly suggest Traverse City if you hit the Cherry Festival at the same time. It's not the Iowa State Fair, but still.

[@Shelsight]

I love Traverse City.... wonderful place.

[@andyt8474]

Somehow stumbled along this channel and now I'm obsessed, binge watching this channel like crazy 😍

[@IAmPeteyPablo]

As much as I love watching all your videos, this one just had me salivating the whole time. Cajun food is one of my all time favourites and to see you guys really soaking it in and showcasing the incredible flavours southern Louisiana has to offer was just fantastic. Keep it up boys!

[@food_toobs8333]

As Louisianians, my wife and I agree with Ben. We both wanted Mike's po'boy!

[@fatalfury66]

I'm not sure which po boy I would have chosen, they all looked and sounded fantastic. Glad you boys had a good time down in New Orleans.

[@Purdenomium]

thank you for introducing us to an awesome initiative like Cafe Reconcile! i'm always leaving your videos informed, curious and hungry

[@gibu002]

My go to Po Boy is a grilled shrimp po boy (not fried) fully dressed with tartar sauce instead of mayo. The best po boy I ever had was the Peacemaker from Mahoney's on Magazine street. Fried shrimp and pork belly. FANTASTIC!! I would very happily eat any or all of these three. Good Job Guys!
