Chefs and Normals Review DIY Food Kits | Vol.3 | Sorted Food 

I think Sorted's release schedule is the only thing that reminds me when it's a Weds or Sun

Pleasantly surprised that Jamie was not given a meat-based DIY kit

I just wanna know what quarantine meal they made at home they are most ashamed of

"Lucy does it... because when I do it... Evie cries" Exactly the same relationship I have with braiding my daughters hair 😂

Sorted is literally the only video that I continuously watch every single week with no complaints

Series Idea! "What's in your pantry?" Where the chefs get to see (and judge) the contents of the fridge/pantry of the normals and then cook a dish with it. And the normals get to do the same for the chefs. Bonus point: pretentious ingredients, Barry's pantry edition!

Why am I not surprised that Ben has a laminator? . Cause he's a super geek.

"It's as naughty on the bottom as it is on top" "Isn't that your style?"

Pass it on: everyone gets a random amount of time (but aren’t told how long they’ve got) so they may leave stuff unfinished. Also, randomise who goes next at the end of the round so they can’t plan for who will know how to carry on what they’re doing. The people want a train wreck 🤣

Barry: "ohh that's horrific" Me a Canadian: " What? that looks amazing" . . . "Oh, he meant horrific in a good way"

I won't lie, sometimes I do miss your "Big Night In" stuff, but your stuff is still good!

I had no doubt that Barry would do wonderfully at decorating that cheesecake. He's a great visual artist, his plating is always the best and his photographs are superb! Also, he looks lovely in pink. Fun video guys! I love that you're all supporting your locals there in the food industry. Keep up the good work!

I feel like everytime they make something, Ben is poking at it before he eats it. I want to see a montage of that because it cracks me up but it might be like 40 minutes long.

“That is as naughty as on the bottom as it is on the top.” - Jamie Paul Romanio Spafford, 2020. Children, that is what happens when you’re surrounded by Bennuendo. It’s interesting to see how Ben is being challenged at his own game 😂

"Don't you think sometimes, less is more?" You've said that just when barry had already ransacked all the goody bags, what an impeccable timing as usual Ebbers 🤣

Talking about Ben's love of laminating stuff, suddenly reminds me when the guys went camping and Ben put cards inside a pocket of plastic individually to avoid them getting wet. So yeah, Ben is that kinda guy.

After seeing Barry decorate that cake, I think he's ready to handle plating on the next pass it on

I appreciate that Jamie called himself a novice because the “normals” have been far from for a couple years 😂

Hey Jamie have you tried the color blind glasses that let you see colors? If not I think you guys should do a video where you get a pair and get to see all the colors food has to offer

Fun fact: Babka in Polish is not only "grandmother" (it's actually rare to call your nana like that, it's rather an antique word used in official language), but also it means bundt cake. It is not a type of pastry/cake/sweet chocolate bread, but a shape. It can be a sweet cake or for example potato babka (mashed spuds with bacon) or meaty one with minced beef. I highly recommend learning Polish and checking out recipies online ;)

The Poke kit might be more desirable here in North America, as sushi-grade fish is sometimes harder to find, and the standard frozen fish here is not recommended for raw consumption. Even now I feel like anything labeled "Sushi grade" that isn't sold in a high-end grocery store (which almost certainly marks it up ridiculously) is dodgy af.

Someone needs to make a GIF of Ben saying "Oh, that is naughty."

I could literally hear Jamie’s brain spinning as he tried to figure out what a babka was 🤣

Jamie: Give em a poké, give em a poke. perfect evening. Ben: youve been to one of my parties before, Jamie. Right...

SORTEDfood has become a part of my weekly routine these days. I look forward to each new video and can’t wait for Sunday’s dad joke! Really enjoy and appreciate all the videos you put out

Just for reference since I haven't seen anybody say this yet, it's pronounced "shook," not "shuk." It's the Hebrew word for market.

It's a little different than food kits, but a restaurant that opened up near me about 2 years ago called Carmi started doing more buffet style cooking where they gave out plates and plates and plates full of wonderful, exceptionally made soul food. They have two restaurants in Pittsburgh, and I am lucky to work a block away from one; and before this started they had tons of people eating there, sometimes having live music on the weekends. It's so awesome to see the people that own and operate it come in to town, make a grand name for themselves, and continue to help others and the people that work for them with everything going on. Every chance I get to recommend them to someone, I always do. The whole family are wonderful, gracious people, and they care for those around them so much.

Barry's reaction at "Do the maths..." has me rolling XD

Favorite parts: Barry doing his little dance while singing "It's raining biscuits" 🎶 "It's as naughty on the bottom as it is on top" "Isn't that your style?" I love this channels humour

Can you guys do a video about food from countries who are not very populair? Like Rusia, Holland or Romania or something? That would be cool

Pleeeeaase tell me Dad Joke of the week will return :'( my husband is lactose intolerant, so I really need more cheesyness in my life :p

We all joke about how Barry is a silly cook But he sure can decorate the hell out of a cake! I would buy that cake at a ridiculous price

Where did Mike go? Haven’t seen him for a few weeks... is he taking care of Tyrone while Ben works?

Barry just looks dead at the camera and says "Oh no." _later_ Ben: "Do you ever think less is more?" And Barry replies, "We're long past that, mate." I love him

Can I just appreciate that Ben slipped in the elevenses comment? My little nerd LOTR heart was happy even though I know it's an actual thing...

I think a good part of these kinds of things is it teaches you how to make a poke bowl and then you can do it yourself. If you're a new cook and a bit nervous this can be a great place to start and you can expand your knowledge and skill and become comfortable in cooking and even a more experienced cook can learn things.

I watch sorted every Wednesday and Sunday after they post and I love every video. Keep doing what your doing, I love your videos. Thank you sorted:)

I love this new segment/format where everyone in the video gets to test a product, and also the act of reviewing DIY Resto Kits as a way to support local businesses in this pandemic. Thanks Sorted for always giving us fresh content and genuine ideas to enable us normals to experience foodie satisfaction while helping out our community in simple ways.

Ben Ebbrell, a chef and man with a laminator. I’ve finally found the man of my dreams 😅😍

I don't personally know of any local restaurants that have gotten into the "cook at home" meal kit arena but there are a number of commercial meal kits available in the states. We've been getting meal kits from Home Chef for the past two years or so and they've really been amazing. I really enjoy cooking with free ingredients and it has allowed us access to menu items that we probably never would've tried otherwise.

And again, Pass it on challenge „trifle“ Three layers each, sweet or savory, with minimum height, presented in a big glass bowl Please 😊🙏❤️ Now, onto the video 👍🏻

Their description of the cheesecake reminds me of how my mom make it, and what I recognize as cheesecake before "New York Style" got really popular here in Texas. Its smoother, softer, and usually much bigger. ......also I'm dying to try the babka. that looked amazing.

Am I the only one who would give away the chocolates and just eat that cheesecake plain?

Watched this again and forgot all about how funny the “bloopah” was at the end and I burst out laughing 😂 thanks for that!

I love when something is so good that you have to use inappropriate words to describe it such as "naughty" and "horrific."

I have to say, you are all cute, fun and informative. I am waiting surgery on my back while covid is here. You make me laugh and smile while I am in pain. Thank you.

That grandma looks like she'd hurt my teeth, however she is pretty saucy

I recall Baz picking food for Jamie before. It was a sweet dish. Jamie pointed out that he doesn't really have a sweet tooth. Apparently, Baz does not remember these things.

Loved this episode! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

Really love how y'all have used platform to support local businesses. Good stuff 👏

Jamie: did the maths for you, mate Barry: *"that was so uncalled for" offended face* Me: XD

Kudos to Baz for matching his wardrobe to his background. Genius😉

sex-citrusy!! New coined word by Ben !!This is exactly what I would describe any desserts made with lemons (e.g. yummy lemon bars)!

3am again and here I am at sorted. Watching these blokes before bed has somehow become part of my nightly routine.

That babka looked delicious! Would love to see a video on Israeli or Jewish food - so much to explore Israeli food is such a unique mix of Western + Eastern European cuisines, as well as North African and Arab influences too

My Father speaks of his grandmother, who would make fruit Babkas for most of the high holidays (Passover and Yom Kippur being the exceptions)... It is why to this day whenever he eats a piece of Babka he thinks of her.

"Babka" in polish also means cake, exactly sand cake. So I think it's more accurate in this episode :D

These are meant for someone that is shy when it comes to cooking, these kits are a wonderful start point. They build confidence for newbies, especially when it comes to international cuisine.

Where is bens punishment for not eating a Big Mac? Cmon guys you can’t let him get away with that 😂😂

I live in a very rural area, but the local (and only) pizza place started offering at-home pizza kits with their own dough and sauce, and toppings they sliced themselves. So you get those really nice paper-thin mushrooms, etc.

Has part of the "A" on the fridge cam sign been out for a while and I just didn't notice or is that new?

I love the idea od meal kits. Although while we were in senior thesis for my culinary science degree we made them but quickly found out that shipping is a hard thing to deal with. Logistics, price, etc. so it's incredible that local places are willing to try to make these to spread their foods!

Ben: "Pineapple salsa, de-seed the chilli, chop finely..." Proceeds to NOT de-seed the chilli. Oh Ben.

Babka is also known as a type of cake. Mostly baked on the holidays and usually has a lemon taste! It's baked in a flower type of tin, curvy on the edges with hole in the middle!

Ben is literally the real life version of Amy Santiago

Terrific babka kit. The poke kit is good for the novice cooker, and I agree that the instructions let you do it again with your own ingredients. The cheesecake would make a great birthday party treat. Fun all around. Quite well priced too.

The last time I was this early, I was born at 5 and a half months.

Loved the whole video but did have a bloomin good laugh at the Blooper...Poor Jamie’s face 🤣

I feel so sad for Barry that he's never had Caramac before. It's the most delicious not-chocolate bar you can get!

10:27 I’ve never seen Jamie so happy. Adorable.

I really love these showcase videos even though I live in Austria. If I had to choose one to buy I would take the poke Bowl, simply because I never had one.

Nothing changed here in Melbourne. Restaurants that weren't doing delivery before aren't doing delivery now, and restaurants that were doing delivery before haven't changed their menus. There's certainly no fun extras going on. Despite the massive increase in demand.

I wanna go to one of Ben's "poke" parties. You know, for science.

Ben scooping the chocolate from his plate in the first one is so relatable. "Yum" indeed.

Ben: looks at exposed brown stuff ... how often have you in your parenting duties.... braided hair? Me: 😱😢 uff, okay, good. That could have been awkward.

lol Jamie's smile is like "I GOT CAKE" the cake does look amazing and I feel said that I can't eat it, if i did I end up in hospital, I think them boxes are an amazing thing to help out place that are really hurting right now and also when things go back, it be interesting if the stay around

i remember cupcake Jemma has a diy kit. i hope you'll check them out next

Ben can butcher more than one language that I have cultural roots in (I’m ethnically, part Hawaiian and part Japanese) in a single video and I still think I’m in love with him and all his nerdiness.

Tuna from Norway? I get the salmon, Norway is known for the amazing salmon there, that we export to Japan... but tuna?

I loved Jamie's face as Barry was talking about cutting the cheesecake! 😆

I keep seeing people getting less and less socially distanced and at first get nervous but then I remember it's just here in the US that things are getting worse not better...

You all do such a great job in reviewing food that it makes me drool as you eat!

Barry, why would you gift Jamie a babka kit knowing his sweet tooth is nearly non existent?

All of those look fantastic. A few restaurants were selling meats from their suppliers and one restaurant was selling meal kits and even started a delivery service for kits but it wasn't in my area so it wasn't easy to get. I was tired of going to the local store dealing with the people not abiding by the rules, long lines and not finding what I needed and started doing half my weekly meals from delivery with Hello Fresh. I've used them before and the recipes are easy, fun and no food is wasted. It's not for everyone but it works for me.

Barry has no right to judge anyone if they have laminator. XD

Would love to see more recipes like in the older days of Sorted. Love all the reviews, pretentious ingredients etc. but would add some nice variety to a channel that I already love :-)

The most upsetting part of this video is finding out that Barry has never had a Caramac before.

I’d enjoy seeing each of you prepare your favorite food that you make for yourself at home. Like maybe your comfort food or just your favorite go to meal when you’re eating alone.

I had to relisten to Ben's pronunciation of wakame: "wack-ah-me" lol. It's "wah-kah-meh".

A local ramen shop here in Sydney (Gumshara) is delivering all the components frozen - noodles, rich tonkotsu broth, chashu pork, pork rib, etc etc. I made one for dinner last night... DELICIOUS.

If Sunset Boulevard was set in the SortedFood Studio: “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my Cloche-up.” #CinephileJokes

Havent't been this early to anyone of the sorted videos. Sortedfood always cheers me up and puts a big smile on my face, no matter how shitty or stressful the day is going! 😊

*me watching the video having listened to last week's podcast: Hey, where's the ramen?" #spoilersMike 🤣

These guys are like my mentors in cooking. I love them❤❤

‘Pleasecake’ should be kept away so that I don’t become a scary,howling demon who craves chocolate.

Having worked with island poke before a few times. Could not be happier to see them featured.

notifications actually worked for once

As a worker on a arctic, Norwegian fish farm, I became super proud when they said "Norway" in there! hahah

We've been buying ready made meals at local businesses. We order ahead and they bring it out to the car.

How good was the little excited dance from Barry at the very beginning 😂😂😍
