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 😅

Ebbers with the innuendos and a dangling cheesesteak testicle, Baz with the poop emoji on a plate and Jamie with the culinary equivalent of the trigger for WW3. Also known as "Sunday on Sorted Food". Oh, and Jamie definitely won that.

"dangling cheesesteak testicle" is a combination of words I don't think have ever been put together.

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!

While cooking: "You weren't even supposed to be here" "Move!" Endless banter While tasting: "Yes!" "That is sensational" Only good vibes Gotta say, I recently watched one of the older videos, like 3 or 4 years old, and the evolution is palpable. They've gotten so much more confident in both the cooking and the banter, and it all just makes for fun videos

[@alexdavis5766]

‘Slightly miffed but trying to keep it professional and too nice to be really angry Ben’ is my favourite. Also a battle isn’t complete without Jamie trying to merge two cultures and not cause a new world war! Then Barry finishes off with mixing all the pretentious ingredients from that region together.

[@JimPea]

The innuendos were really flying with Ben today. Maybe it's a coping mechanism to help him deal with cooking Mike's dish?

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?

[@knighteye33]

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)

[@aurora8202]

This battle was super fun 😂 I know as Italian I should be offended but I love you guys too much for that. On the side note I suggest you two things: 1) us a proper "rotella tagliapasta" (there is even a kit with different attachments for decorating), 2) sweets ravioli (which are really common in this period of Carnival) are always deep fried or baked in the oven, I suggest you to try, they are really good 😊

Laughing with bazz is fun at all but i like to put in my own 2 cents: Barry has earned that apron and having worked within the industry for many years and seeing the advances Barry has made through the years. He truly won the apron! Sure he will do a barry and think too much outside the box every now and then but that's what makes him special! YOU ROCK BAZZ!

"I'd love to not be in this battle." Ebbers sass is the best.

Gonna have to vote for Jamie! Love all the flavors he put in there, and while it's very far from a traditional version of any of those dishes, it still looks incredibly tasty.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

@@FrostedCreationsI believe it means that Mike was supposed to be doing it, but was sick or otherwise occupied. And that they didn’t have time to fully prepare (see: Jamie had to get something out of the fridge rather than buy a new cheese, Mike didn’t order ingredients, etc.).

[@exzyle2k]

Honestly guys, this has been my favorite video in awhile. Three friends in the kitchen roasting each other, a healthy pinch of Benuendos, and good food at the end. It's a recipe that will never fail.

For the millionth time, cheesesteaks don't have fresh peppers. You can add them if you want, but it's not a standard ingredient.

[@sabrinawilhelm7964]

Peppers, onions, and mushrooms = yum!

[@tinkdnuos]

@@sabrinawilhelm7964 they're not bad! Just not standard. Mushrooms are actually a pretty common addition, much more so than fresh peppers. But pickled peppers (hot, or sweet) are even more common. It's just weird how the entire world outside of the Delaware valley somehow decided every cheesesteak is supposed to have big hunks of onion and green pepper.

[@alyssat7809]

​@@tinkdnuosto be fair most places ive been to caramelized the onions and peppers or at least softened them on the grill before putting them on the sandwich

[@tinkdnuos]

@@alyssat7809 the onions should be "fried" but not caramelized. Soft and translucent, golden, but not brown. And yes, IF you're using fresh peppers, they should probably be grilled too. I just said "fresh" to distinguish from pickled hot or sweet peppers. Although like I said before, you can have it however you like it! But fundamentally it's meat and cheese on an Italian roll, with or without onions. Anything else is an extra and NOT included or expected on a cheesesteak, traditionally.

[@sleepy_kat]

Would love an annual, end of year, Chef Skills Challenge championship between the three normals to see who improved the most that year. In case someone wants to knock Barry off of his sous chef throne and take his red apron.

[@BlairBonnett]

Now we need Ebbers' revenge: Ben imagines a dish, Mike has to cook it unplanned...

[@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.

[@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.

[@muskanajitsaria7492]

As an indian J all i have to say is you are very brave very brave you took two of my favourites and now i will cry until i know what that tastes like 😢

[@mystix4021]

Amazing video. I know Barry won the apron but I think it would be another interesting series idea where he has to defend it, with Jamie being the first challenger. He more than deserves the chance standing toe to with both Ben and Kush.
