BEAT THE CHEF TIME CHALLENGE (Chef 25 mins vs Normal 35 mins) 

Hate the spoiler

Then dont read the comments before watching a video? What do you think the comments will talk about football?

its funny, I saw him use a bergamot and immediately knew it would be bitter af. Knew Ben went too far you really have to experiment with that thing to get it right, the fact people didn't get stomach issues after should make him feel good lol

He's cooking for Jamie and still making a salad. That's the weird part for me 🤣

@@timm4008 Well, the spoiler was in the video..... but you can't really judge them can you.... or he thought your comment was a spoiler (it wasn't) in which case you are right.... don't read comments before watching a video.

Exactly 😂

A huttlestorm🤣 perfect

@Sorted Food I'd also say to give the normal some notice of what's in the box, so they can plan ahead.

@@puffinbasher like 30 min plan time but same cooking time

A great chef can keep things 'relatively' simple but do them far better than us normals could, a normal trying hard will see that extra time as an opportunity to try to be creative. The extra time is an illusion, elevating a dish to another level while being quick/efficient/whatever is what a restaurant needs to survive first, then thrive, unless they are aiming for a L'Enclume-type experience but that is fairly niche. An amateur thinks in terms of ingredient over time expediture, a professional thinks in terms of time over ingredient expenditure, getting the most out of simple concepts is the bulk of the restaurant business and gets people to eat dishes out (and pay a premium for) that they could make at home.

Yes! I've learned to take notes when I'm splodging things in--because that happens! 😅 You accidentally make something amazing, you want to be able to duplicate it 😊

How Mike salvaged that sauce from being a gloopy thick red substance that tasted like gravy granules to become a smooth, runny, layered and perfectly balanced sauce that was the plates best component was an absolute miracle 😂😂

That's why they are no longer normals. Mike has enough sense of what works to take the sauce from bland to something tasty just by adding different ingredients. A true normal would end up with something awful.

I do the same thing. That is how I found out the one thing Fireball is good for is deglazing.

@@nanoflower1 on that note. Though I would argue they are still normals. I would like to see a future expansion through the addition of „newbies“ or similar (for good, a season or a subseries). Where then challenges like experienced normal vs newbie + chef can happen.

Sometimes grabbing random things works! I've made some really tasty BBQ sauce that way! I'm just mad I didn't write it down so I can recreate it.

i too have made some delicious stuff that way

Poor Mike 😂

“pheasant by a peasant” is my favorite Mike line ever

I was going to ask if Mike was okay. He seemed a bit... Manic in this one.

@@angelousmortis8041 apparently he's got a lil baby at home. so this might've been filmed while his wife was heavily pregnant

I would love that too!

I second this Idea. I was thinking the exact same thing.

I saw them tease this on Instagram, so likely coming soon

THIS!!!!!!

If ever i saw a good idea this would be it!

I think it would be interesting to have a chef vs chef battle with an assortment of random mystery box ingredients, but the caveat is that both chefs have to randomly choose a normal to partner up with from the spinning wheel! There could be challenges like swapping the person on the team in the kitchen after an amount of time or something else but would be entertaining seeing how the chefs collaborate with their normal

That's because mike was having a full on break down xDDD Incredible his dish didn't taste crap lol

@@deathragh1 he just had a kid. makes sense lol

Same!! Was very sweet aha

@@vimalvinod1832 depends on when this was filmed. Could have been months ago.

@@vimalvinod1832 ahhhhh yea fair that makes a lot of sense lol, he seemed more manic than usual

He'll be happy with this comment!

He's safe on the sidelines.

But we love his chaos. Now it's his turn for Chef vs normal hopefully

Love to see that

I'm pretty sure they've done a leftover challenge before.

yess thats what i thought

We love to try one of your fish creations!

This has got to happen!

Only time will tell......

I completely agree with you; Sorted always manages to bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I've been having, and no matter what kind of video they put out! From their travel series to their battles, everything is so well-made, funny, and helpful, and I've utilized a lot of what they've taught me in my own cooking.

How about an entire episode on Dutch snackbar food (and yes it’s actually called a snackbar)? 😁

@@Anna_TravelsByRail Yes. YES. Y. E. S. 😆

dutch snackbar food would be amazing. as long as they do the Febo justice i wont complain (also bitterballen would be fun)

And LOVED the 'found some maple syrup'. Thanks Kush and crew for the assist.

Years

Kush would be a good pick

@@fabe61 I want the film crew a chance at revenge!
