Yesssss this is an epic idea!! But I think it has to be Ebbers vs Kush vs Chef James-the 3 chefs with the most insider knowledge of the normals so the griping during the battle is better 😅

[@noangelthis]

Jamie now consistently making time for a clean-up is just more proof of how much he's grown since the early episodes. I really believe he's shown the most growth amongst the normals. And his dish came out so well, I can't decide whether to be irritated or impressed. Well, given I'm a bit of Indian- Italian fusion myself- I guess, I just have to try this myself and find out!

“I’m sorry guys, I’ve made a poo emoji.” Don’t worry Barry, that’s the dish any 5-year-old would go for! My sister made herself top mum in my nephews class for his birthday last year when he requested poo cookies and she made them. And yes, they tasted amazing. 😂

‘Slightly miffed but trying to keep it professional and too nice to be really angry Ben’ is my favourite.

idea for a future battle: plan and prep for a meal, and then make everyone rotate one spot to the right so they have to cook someone else's idea (a bit like Ebbers today but for everyone)

[@esmeecampbell7396]

Sag Paneersagne 😂 is such a great idea! I can appreciate that cooking is about what tastes good not rigid adherence to what recipe was used for a arbitrary number of years beginning at an arbitrary date. If that was the case then no preparation of any food is really "traditional" because we used to just eat nuts and berries and raw meat. At some point someone was the first person to cook a lasagne or a spaghetti Carbonara or whatever, and it was "not traditional" when they did it because they were first.

[@karagrant5778]

It would be interesting to have the chefs fill the fridge with random/unexpected ingredients and the normals come up with what they want to cook before seeing the ingredients available. Then they have to stick to what they wanted to cook but adapt based on the ingredients. It’s sort of like unplanned battle but a little different?

[@auntlynnie]

I think the win goes to Jamie, but I’d love to try Mike/Ben’s dish (minus the whole provolone part - a bowl would suffice). I’d like to try Barry’s if the recipe and method were developed a bit more.

Philadelphian here: You can do whatever cheesesteak inspired thing you want. We won't be bothered until you start trying to pass it off AS a cheesesteak. I can't imagine caring if you "really understand and appreciate" the original, but you do have to know what ingredients and major techniques actually go in something or very don't, cheesesteak or otherwise, in order to make anything inspired by it. This easily fits the bill on the cheesesteak front but will probably confuse the cheese-wheel-pasta folks.

I love combining pasta and anything tomato based! So Jamie gets my final vote as well! I think as a concept/novel idea- Barry's is the most interesting, but also seems difficult to potentially execute. Mike's seems like a safe and done deal (not sure if it tastes better/texture better than Barry's) but putting a hole into bread and filling it with pasta isn't unheard of (like a sausage roll but instead its pasta and bread.

(And whatever he's likely to steal from them! LOL)
