We need to talk about Food Trends (Round table discussion) April 2023

[@chicoloco7108]

The fact that Kush doesn't sugar coat things is really refreshing, he has a strong personality that makes him very likeable.

I have to agree, we need more of Kush, he might be able to mostly replace James on camera, cause i think it s still off balance since James left

Their chemistry and love for one another is what makes me rewatch soooo many of their episodes. They take the mickey out of each other, but clearly care for one another.

You say this like to hang out after the show but if you watch their own social media and channels you know that they are just co-workers and they are not friends out of work

Don't get me wrong, your more pressured videos are amazing but this is a wonderful bonus. Keep up the hard work because we all appreciate you guys so much.

[@distractednessity]

I agree! I got into this channel with their Sorted food at the table series which was just them sitting around a table and chatting about the food they prepared for the group. It was so pleasant. I love this vibe.

[@supersullivan24]

I like the format, but I think the video title doesn't really fit what the video actually was.

[@TheTemptress13]

I love this idea. Plus it will be kind of cool to have it as a “yearbook” to go back and see what was popular and what your favorite things are each month. I think this is fantastic

[@monkinator]

wow right off the bat I did not expect to see Best Ever Food Review Show. I love that channel. Sonny is amazing at what he does, he's producing national geographic quality documentaries about the places he visits and they're absolutely fantastic. He shows respect to the people in the places he visits and is willing to try any food no matter how odd or strange it may be to a western audience.

[@tobubiify]

Sonny is an Incredible host and an incredible entertainer

My worst kitchen nightmare (well my dads really) for new years. He was making the Heston Bluememthal popping cherry trifle, this includes a 15 egg camomile custard. He'd left it in the sink in an ice bath to cool it as ran out of workspace. Along came my brother who proceeded to wash his hands in it

My favorite family food story is about a Thanksgiving I wish I had seen. My partner's great-grandmother brought out the turkey on a tray and dropped it on the floor in full view of the guests. She picked it up and took it back into the kitchen. After a few minutes she came back out with a turkey on a tray. As she carefully placed it on the table she said, "Thankfully, I made two." Everyone chose to believe her.

[@Sophie703]

I love that! 10 second rule! 😅

[@sharintje1]

Loved this casual round the table chatting ❤And definitely want to see that 'making dog/cat food taste good' video!

[@CaMaMorro]

This format is great and I like the fact you’re including more members of your team in the last months. They pop in every now and again to enrich the experience with the ‘main cast’ if you like

[@FlaimDaze]

I love this type of format. Obviously one of the biggest draws to the channel is your friendships and banter, and this casual pub type discussion format truly highlights your personalities and interactions in the context of food exploration. I love that you guys keep exploring different video styles and trying new ideas. Keep up the great work!

[@user-hc7uq2zc5x]

This kind of gives me like 'fridge cam' feels which I've missed. Love the shout out to local business, youtubers you watch, & the stories of worst kitchen nightmares. Hope we see more of this type of content. Also I don't know if it's just me but I also miss when you'd dress up when doing challenges (not just for Halloween either), they were always entertaining.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Your Friday updates always make this day so much better!

Kush being absolutely savage is a joy to behold lmao. A lot of the time people try to be more diplomatic when trying such things, included Sorted, and then there's Kush holding absolutely nothing back. Much appreciated 😂

[@dizzielizzie9989]

Love this format, it’s like a Friday end of week mates chat in a pub. So good to see more of Kush & Slater..more please.👏🏼

[@magsimags]

i love this format. it gives me old school sorted vibes. kinda reminds me of big night in. probably cause you're at that same table. a big part of why i watch you guys is the dynamic between you and your different personalities. it's almost like you're a character driven show. yes the content and formats are cool but mostly i like watching you guys just chat and banter about food. and that comes through really well in this video. and it's a nice change of pace from your regular videos

Best Ever Food Review Show and Sorted are far and away my two favourite food KZbin channels. The level of production and the content on both is fantastic. I love that I can access these things without worrying about some corporate suit cancelling and ruining it for me.

[@Twitchi]

So glad you highlighted Best Ever Food Review Show, Sonny is a legend and deserves all the recognition he can get. Some of the topics he covers are not liked by KZbin and as such are not shared as widely as they should be!!

[@ranicos]

I LOVED this concept! Dedicated videos are fun, but it's also really nice to have these diverse topics come to the table and see everyone's reaction. Genuinely feels like you're hanging with a bunch of mates chatting about food. I'd love to see more of these. Well done!

[@effekt4]

My favourite thing in food this month? I spent some time and energy creating a kangaroo patty that cooks like a beef burger. Then experimented with 22 different native Australian herbs and spices to create my own sauces. Even though im an Australian Aboriginal man, i was completely unaware of the amazing array of flavours that we have on our own land. Things like Cinnamon myrtle, Aniseed myrtle, Native thyme and native basil. Flavours that i get from bottles and bags imported, flavours that we already have here and have had for thousands of years. Ive decided that i want to try my hardest to promote the vast array of ingredients that we have available right here on our own land, and get people to try them for themselves..

[@vickiephelps5169]

If you could build a webpage to sell aboriginal spices and herbs for around a dollar an ounce, I would be all over it! I would love to sample the traditional flavors of your people!

[@garrettanderson4392]

Looooove the video format with it being casual and just a round table setting.

[@vampire847]

As someone who sweats almost as much as Ben. He's gonna need a few because once you sweat through them you start dripping. Also my GF has a cinnamon allergy and I've been trying to find substitutes! Allergy substitute videos would be awesome! As for disaster stories! First time making home made pancakes from scratch I used fridge cold eggs and when they hit the melted butter and it solidified my brain went "WELP THOSE SCRAMBLED" and I tossed it out... only to realize minutes later it was the butter....

Love the format, it's a good mix between fun and casual but also informative. Plus it lets your personalities shine a bit more than in other formats.

[@PetWessman]

My favourite thing in food at the moment is the mindset at my new(-ish, since september) workplace. Someone made too much chili oil - there's now a jar in the staff room where you can grab some and take home. Someone's growing veggies in their garden and sharing the seeds they don't need. Someone else sprouted too many chili plants and are now giving them away rather than just picking out and chucking away. The sharing is lovely!

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Wow love this idea. Maybe would recommend some low mood music. I love the concept though, reminds me of "as yet untitled" by Alan Davies.

[@kinkarobotina]

It's so good to see the other two chefs, they're such a good addition to the show!

[@lindalooloo12]

As a cocktail bartender for a few years a few moons ago, would need to add a note to Ben on "once you've got it you never need to tastes it again" Drinks dilute differently depending on how its shaken, ice size, if it started ti melt egc. If it is a home/bar made syrup with fresh fruit you may need to adjust the sweet/butter etc. Always better to taste even with cocktails 😊

[@ChelseaFCallday2]

[@NUFCGalloway1991]

I’m a regular visitor of Fat Hippo (Durham or Jesmond) and can honestly not recommend this highly enough! The beer battered cheese balls are a must and while I think I’ve tried virtually every burger on the menu (and they’re all great), my favourite is the PB+JJ - Double patty, American cheese, chunky peanut butter, bacon jam + smoked chilli jello. Would be great to see the guys up in the North East because despite the “it’s grim up north” stereotype we have some absolutely amazing restaurants - Sachin’s; Khai Khai; Mantra Thai and so many more - not to mention the bars/nightlife and of course all of the great fish places along the coast (Tynemouth a great shout if visiting in the summer months)

[@mikleman996]

My favourite thing this month is... the new spice blend I bought. It's called Lemon Pepper. It has black pepper, green pepper, white pepper lemon zest and tumeric. I can't wait to start to experiment with it. They recommended steak, but I think, I start with scrambled eggs and maybe cauliflower steaks or salad. 🤩
