SORTEDfood Am I the only one who thought the poll meant James won because of the wording, both the question and answers? Guys was that intentional? Super happy Ben won, definitely my dessert of choice. I love plums but can't stand pomegranate, imh it's pretentious with F-all flavour and a seed in every bit. I would love to try both but would need to spit out the pomegranate seeds and I hate having to do that with food. Sorry James.
*"In the normal battles, we're arguing because somebody's set somebody else's recipe alight. In the chef vs. chef battles, they argue about what temperature to temper your chocolate at!"* that's whats makes them even funnier hahaha. They are literally getting salty over stuff like.....salt!
@@Kdkendk But it's not. James' chocolate is not obviously better. It's just shinier due to how it's applied. Ben's chocolate can only be as smooth as the mold he used (which is arguably a mistake i suppose). James' mirror glaze is just naturally shiny, but if you look at the chocolate piece op top at 10:49 for example, which I assume is the same chocolate as the glaze, just leftovers, you should notice it's much less shiny and looks less well done.
Well, I am so late but anyway There is nothing to do with tempering chocolate technique that’s related to James’ shiny domes. It is a glaze that is completely different! James’ attempt on tempering chocolate you can see on the chocolate piece on top of the domes. And it is not shinier than Ben’s - if not less tbh
@@randomnobody660 Mirror glaze is a completely different thing. It’s almost like a thin shiny layer of jelly. The chocolate piece on top was the one he tempered and put between acetate but it’s not the same as the mirror glaze
Please do Chef vs Chef: Beans on Toast battle. Do everything from scratch, make your own bread, decide how to cook beans, whatever. I just want to see the simplest meal in the world cheffed up to ridiculous levels.
I would want James' dessert after a fancy dinner and Ben's for a midnight snack. On the same night. Because that much sugar can't be bad for you. Surely.... Surely...
I think an idea like that has already been brought up, but what about a battle where they have to recreate a dish just from taste. It could either be all 3 "normals" or the normals against a chef, but to make it more fair the chef would be blindfolded relying on his other senses, while trying the prepared dish
I think Ben's dish was great but James just won everything. It looks amazing and well of course, it was James. You have to love James. I would love to see the sorted guys go to someone's home and make a meal out of what they have on hand.
I agree on both accounts. While Ben's dessert was obviously well done I think James won on every judgable count. And I love your suggestion, I too would love to see that challenge of The sorted guys cooking at someone's house with what was on hand.
Well you just want James to win because you have a bias apparently and he's chocolate did look better. Definitely he won on the looks. But taste wise? How can you even comment and give an opinion about who should win without even knowing the taste profile of each one of these?
James' looked like something you could order from a haute cuisine restaurant, gorgeous dessert. Loved both though, but throwing in a bit of extra love for James who worked hard for this one
I had to rewind when I saw it myself just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Side note: I'm still going crazy, but James is definitely using that funky spatula.
I am dying to watch a Chef vs Chef battle with really crap ingredients: pot noodles, tinned ravioli, ready meals, mystery meat nuggets, etc... I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE, SORTED! Just think of how miserable James and Ben would be!
It would be a cool idea to have a chef vs chef battle where they need to cook only using ingredients that could be reasonably found in a college dorm. I really want to see what these guys come up with
@@matthewkaseman7457 Don't forget canned everything. Fish fingers, nuggets and hot pockets are also a crowd favorite. Mind you I went through my dorm food phase when I was 16. I make loads of desserts for all of my dorm mates and they give me free food as payment.
@Taps fan Agreed. And besides, James' was a mirror glaze, which is less difficult and naturally more shiny than tempered chocolate. They were two different ways to get shine but are not comparable because Ben's is a shell, not just a soft glaze like James'. Finally, going based on reactions of the guys, I think Ben's was just better. But they both sounded amazing!
@@deprofundis3293 yes! Thank you! I was just going to say the same thing. James' one was a mirror glaze which intentionally is shiny, due to the condensed milk, however if you look at his chocolate shard, you will see that it is dull and looks incorrectly tempered due to the high middle heat, compared to Ben's which is an amazing shine and crack.
Remember we haven’t tasted these great dishes I mean someone might have recreated both and had split opinion but we can’t just base it on looks and presentation and instantly Ebbers wins because there are no nuts in his and I’m allergic
James should have won most of these battles (except the italian one for sure) if I'm honest; his clever use of ingredients and the balance he strikes with those flavors should win out. Ben definitely is equally talented, but I think he focuses on the palette of the judges, which admittedly is what you want in a personal chef or a test kitchen chef, and something that is probably factored in when they judge. Very much a clash of two different approaches to cooking and ways of going about impressing the judges. I'd like to see a panel of industry experts judge their foods vs normal people judging their food. Probably wouldn't happen, but one could dream.
I wouldn't because it would take it to another level, whereas the whole point of sorted is a bunch of friends having fun, so therefore currently fun competitive - I wouldn't want to see professional competitive as I think it would take away the spark / gist of this channel.
Exactly. And that's precisely why Chef Pierre-White gave up his 3 Michelin stars. He was "being judged by people who know less then (he) does" when it comes to cooking. You can't critiques or judge something you've not mastered yourself.
So you basically want James to win with no reason? Your argument was that both have two very good, very important and very different focuses but for some reason you think James should have won the majority of them? You contradict yourself. Also, since neither of us ever experimented anything from this show personally you are just assuming stuff and putting your personal bias in your decision.
Since we can't taste it, we're reliant on visuals and James's looked incredible, much better than Ben's. James gets my vote. That shine was something else
That's just the nature of the mirror glaze. It's called that for a reason. You'd never be able to get such shine with tempered chocolate, but it tastes better than a mirror glaze.
This video came out the day after my grandfather died and I was desperate for something to raise my spirits. The food looked fantastic and I was planning to make Ben's dish for the memorial service. Then Jamie told the dad joke, and I laughed so hard I nearly spit out a lung! My grandfather had a wicked sense of humour and he would have loved this! told it to my uncle (his son) the next day at the funeral home and he howled with laughter. It was just what we needed, so thank you Jamie and Sorted!
“So, if I’m doing a lemon tart - like I am right now - one thing to remember is, don’t make it too lemony. Cheers mate” I’ve rewatched that clip so many times lmao
I love Jamie asking if Ben was going to make a mass produced dessert after he won a challenge making a McMuffin. If you want Ben to a real challenge tell him he has to get through an entire recipe without saying the word classic. I love you guys and all your videos I look forward to them.
This competition had two elements - planning and execution. By deciding the winner only from what you would choose from the menu, you’re only judging the planning element and ignoring the execution. Have I watched too many of these videos that I was crushed that James didn’t win and had to go to bed early? Go Team James!
@@Appaddict01 I agree. Someone else commented on this thread that eating anything with rose made her feel like someone sprayed perfume in her mouth. I wonder if they felt the same and chose the less floral flavor combo as the winner despite James' cake being dubbed "delegant."
The teacake in a restaurant? I'm sorry, James' looks like a glorious end to a night out (that shine!!)...I see Ben's as something I'd pick up at a good froofy dessert place to bring home for a nice meal. Ultimate, though? That makes me think of something you might happily give up a couple weeks' cheat days for...not something i'd pick up a couple times a week.
On a good day, I could maybe make Ben's recipe, but James' had like 5000 steps. So bc of all the techniques that went in, and because it just sounds amazing, James is my winner.
1.) It is so encouraging to a home cook like me to see James push forward and show us that mistakes can be no big deal. 2.) Really neat to see James use the spatula-spoon thing - will we get an update on how he feels about this gadget? 3.) James, you are lovely and the way you gave so much sass to Ben reminds me of how my big brother and I behave! That being said, my vote goes to Ben this week. I don't have a very sophisticated palate and anytime I try something with rose I can't get over the feeling someone's sprayed perfume in my mouth. But chocolate and marshmallow? Heaven. Thanks SORTEDfood for bringing so much joy to my Sundays.
Fun fact. Pistachios are known to spontaneously combust during travel due to heat buildup in the shells. This is why they have some very strict rules on how they are processed and shipped. To avoid, well, hot nut fires.
Watching this in late 2023, Jamie's prediction at 08:55 for 2024 is so damn on point! I know he seems annoyed with all the waiting, but those are 2 beautiful dishes. Also, love how they just got the supoon in the previous video, but James is already using it quite comfortably.
That Pistachio, Rose and Pomegranate Chocolate Tart looks like something else entirely. I'd vote for it even though common dark chocolate candy bars usually do it for me.
There is a lot to unpack from this episode 4 years later. James warned he would leave if he didn't win (we miss you, James!), and Jamie predicted that Kanye West would be running for president.
I rewatched the Ramen battle a couple hours ago... And now I'm seeing it here Ben attempting to butter up the judges with side dishes (the chicken nuggets from there and the huge marshmallow here)
Every time I watch one of these videos, I end up replaying the intro at least three times just to hear "I'm gooey in the middle, baby, let me bake" over and over. I love it. And then I end up wanting to make everything I see.

Also James dessert was much much better. He should have won.
James' dessert was a masterpiece. I would kill to taste that one

Unfortunately, they were unable to get it on camera.
It’s normal for James now.

At the end it's all about the taste but his dessert looked incredible.
@mander your absolutely correct!!
I have the impression that when the judging is announced you can see in Ben's face he thought James deserved the win.
Through the WHOLE battle, I was thinking this was truly over before it began. And then they go and pick the WRONG result!
9m51s in. Something else has just gone "in to the fridge for an hour".
Gentlemen, there is NO WAY I'm going to attempt either of these recipes!
"Tell me you got that" yes James they got it! *You snatched that spoon out of the air and then proceeded to snatch my wig.*
Definitely would've gone with James, but I'm not biased at all...
Great to see Ebbers and James flexing their chef muscles. Great episode!
Well this hasn't aged well has it? "If I don't win this battle I'll probably leave....." oops
I can't believe James is making this ultra-fancy dish and Ben is just making Viva Puffs. xD
Can't speak for taste, but given the presentation of the dish and seeing how both were made, I'd probably have gone with James
Chocolate, marshmallow and biscuit. Is ben making smores?
It looks like a Danish Flødebolle
Oh no, heaven forfend! It's not smores because it has gin in it, you see.
Really thought James would win this one 😂
You know what I love about these battles? The way they complement each other's dishes afterwards. That's good sport.
Watching this in late 2023, Jamie's prediction at 08:55 for 2024 is so damn on point! I know he seems annoyed with all the waiting, but those are 2 beautiful dishes.
Also, love how they just got the supoon in the previous video, but James is already using it quite comfortably.
Not enough people are talking about that beautiful dad joke oh my god Jamie.
I feel like the real winners in chef vs chef battles are always the judges, because they get to eat top tier food.
Ooo! James was using the potentially pretensious spoon!
that kiss is everything!
He's using that damn elevated kitchen spoon gadget I love it
James´roasting here was EPIC! too bad there´s no brownie point competition this time around, he woud´ve gotten loads...
I preferred James's dessert... And that's not only because fancy his smile, beard and the rest.. I actually love pistachios and rose flavoured sweets.
I would order James's one. I looked shiny and delicious and so complex. I was as surprised as Ben when he won actually
hands down I would go out to dinner with my mom, we'd each order one of the desserts and then split them both
That Pistachio, Rose and Pomegranate Chocolate Tart looks like something else entirely. I'd vote for it even though common dark chocolate candy bars usually do it for me.
Jamie and Barry standing in the corner watching and giggling like the naughty boys they are.
Ben has the other guy's palettes down to a science
Always cook for your guests!
No hate to Ben, but James was cheated out of a win. His tart and savagery were both on point!

2:40 I love that he is using the spatula/spoon/measuring cup with stand in this video. I guess it was useful. They decided.
The look of pure worry on Jamie's face when James offers him the rest of the biscuit 😂
I'm definitely in the minority but I'm glad Ben won xD
Also that screaming after he fell for Jamie's joke at the end was priceless~
6:10. I think it's hilarious when James is in the mood to be savage.
also I'd choose James' dish. Sorry ben.
I'm not saying Ben's looked anything but amazing, but I really, really want to taste that pistachio concoction James made.
Every time I watch one of these videos, I end up replaying the intro at least three times just to hear "I'm gooey in the middle, baby, let me bake" over and over. I love it. And then I end up wanting to make everything I see.
