I call for a redemption for Mike - all of the chefs should remake his dream menu until he gives all dishes a 9 and above!
Yes❤
We need a Kush Unleashed for Mike
No idea what's allowed James to be in more videos recently, but love seeing him for as long as he's able to.
We love having back In the kitchen. So much sass!!
Probably taking annual leave and wants to spend it with his friends
Don't they have the live event stuff?
I'm guessing they 1 plan it around his free time
And 2 It probably takes a while to prepare everything so why not record some stuff in the meantime
Someone has to babysit the boys
So good to see James back. Hope he can fit some videos into his regular routine. 🙏🤞
Aww I think Mike deserves a do over. He deserves just as much of a dream meal as everyone else got.
Yeah. Big mistake choosing Kush over Ben. Needs to learn to bribe the judge.
I don't the dessert was apparently extremely on point, and he said he really enjoyed the Fried Chicken. Just the Sea Bass was on the weak side.
Absolutely!
6/10 is not on. The main & desert is fine but no one deserves a dish that low if it is your dream menu
Exactly! With Jamie & Barry, a lot of care was put in to the cooking and everything. With Mike, they just were doing whatever. He deserves care being put into the cooking of his menu too.
Mike deserves another go. The other guys got meals they actually loved. Mike’s was just ok and seemed like a needless windup. Not fair.
Here here!
A menu Kush and Ben wanted to do. Mike chose cooked and they gave him raw fish.
Agreed with Ben there to control them lol 😂
@@whitneynelson2914 Ben and Kush set that dreadful menu, the man doesn't like raw food or fish
@@melissalambert7615cooked AND feathers
Mike's dream menu.
James: I can't imagine Mike would enjoy this
Also even Mike said it's not a dream menu which is sad.
Yeah, he definitely needs a redo that actually makes him happy
Yes redo it!
@@svn5994 technically nightmares are dreams....
But yeah. Poor Mike
@@christopheryanac977yes and this time james, jamie and baz make it up and kush and ben cook it
Are you shitting me? Mike was just there for a good time and his response to the first dish almost made me cry. You have got to redo this! He deserves the same amount of care for his dishes as the others. You better be thankful he loved the milkshake, otherwise I would be so angry right now lol
"Maybe this is as good as it gets for me."
Damn, that took a slightly sad turn I didn't expect. :O
imo ben and kush should have a go at making Mike his dream menu, the other boys got perfect meals and this was admitted to be not dream territory, Mike deserves his fair turn
The problem is Ben and Kush set up the menu for this dream menu, which is why we got 90% of what we got here. Still think someone should give it a better go tho
100% agreed! He deserved better!
@@RyanEglitis Exactly. Ben and Kush were just as responsible for this, if not more so because they boxed James, Barry and Jamie in. Mike does deserve better though, and I think if James had come with the ideas he would have delivered Mike's actual perfect meal.
They basically set it up to fail with things he doesn't really like
This. The starter in particular was the most un-Mike dish here.
Poor Mike, he seemed happy, but more in the "Hey, I got a good meal", rather than "This really wow'ed me!"
They really didn't care like they did for Barry.
They never care anymore tbh unless it's about views
Maybe Ben and Kush can do a do over for him.
The “maybe this is as good as it gets for me” is genuinely really sad 🥺
So many comments for Mike getting a re-do and I’m gonna throw my name in the comment ring for it as well. Justice 4 Mike. Give the man the meal of his life!
Mike **while being literally the sweetest about a raw deal** - "Hey, I'm just being brutally honest."
Me - "No. No you REALLY aren't."
If one of these dream menus deserves a do-over, it's this one.
Its so like Mike to make everyone feel better about his not-so-dream meal. Why does it seem like Mike gets the raw end of the deal? Mike deserved a better go at his dream meal tbh
I love how all three just immediately went "Yeah Mike's not going to like this." For who next, MIKE AGAIN! If the best thing on near every plate is a jarred sauce, I'm calling that a fail! Plus it's Mike, a 6 from him is like a 4 from anyone else. I want to the stuff of dreams, not the stuff of low expectations he has for himself! Getting scored a 73 is a D where I come from, certainly not a "dream!"
fully agree
I second that!
Where do you come from?
Genuinely asking.
Because where I come from 60% is first class, and 75% is FCD (first class with distinction - the highest 'category' you can get). Our system is based off the British system (yay colonialism), so I wouldn't expect the modern UK to be a million miles away. A D is what I've always thought of as a failing grade - so somewhere between 35-40!
@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790 In the US school system, a 75 is middle of C, so 73% is a low C to high D, depending on the exact system in use. Getting a below a 60% here is grounds for being held back.
I think Mike deserves a redo of this, so that he actually gets his DREAM menu, and not just a banging dessert.
I think this may need a redo boys😅 mike deserves the level that Barry and Jamie got and i dont think this was it. But barring that it was a great vid and id love to see all the chefs get a video as well 💙💙
James coming in like the substitute teacher when the full timers are away and hes just supervising an arts and crafts day
Couldn't help but smile. Uncle vibe, too
Definitely gives those vibes haha he's just there to make sure neither of them injures themselves, he doesn't care about the briefing
Justice for Mike ☹️ all the other guys got such nice things said about them during cooking, and Mike got “he’s gonna hate this”
I was thinking the same! Seemed so half-hearted! Mike is such a nice guy, he deserves better!
Barry wearing the sous chef apron while admitting that he can’t debone a chicken is peak Barry.
not even can't, he _won't_ debone a chicken, it's too much work. 😂
@@GirishManjunathMusic Some would say he can't be arsed
Also he lost a badge in the chicken test, and wanted to serve a chickenbreast on the carcass IIRC
That apron has turned into a power play 😅.
@@ResinAlchemist2024 I think at this point it’s more of an albatross. Lol
I love how James is so much more relaxed around the normals when cooking then Ben and Kush. He’s like the fun uncle who lets them do what they like and trusts them. Love it
@@johnnycaruthers7180 what

@@johnnycaruthers7180 i agree... you know... but time and place my dude.
I miss him
@@johnnycaruthers7180wrong audience
I enjoyed the chaos of this video, but I do agree with the other comments: Mike deserves a redo. Barry and Jamie got epic meals that they devoured, scoring each course with an 8.5 or higher. For Mike to be served alcohol beforehand to soften the blow and hearing a 'sorry' whilst presented with the dishes doesn't feel right. Let the man have his full English starter, Thai fried chicken main and afternoon tea dessert!
We need a do over for Mike.
None of the lads was serious.
Mike deserves 100% genuine effort!
Mike deserves a redo. This felt phoned in at best and it was only by good fortune that you guys made one thing that he genuinely liked. Also come on Barry, for someone so proud of winning that red apron you don't seem too keen on doing anything to keep it.
Mike is such a sweetheart, he doesn't want to say anything that could hurt the boys' feelings.
I really think Mike should get his dream menu next!!!
It's so nice to see James again, he killed it even with Ben and Kush absolutely selling him down the river on this one. I hope they redo Mike's dream menu because this was too cursed
I was just thinking a few days ago that Mike never got his dream menu... and he still hasn't! ☹️
Actually felt quite sad watching this video. Generally i love all the joking around and teasing each other, but the last 2 dream menus were so thoughtful trying to make something your friend would love, even complementing your friend while you were cooking for them which felt so wholesome. Whereas this one poor Mike got shafted and was too nice to say it.
Joining the growing call for a redo!
Mike deserve re-do of his Dream Menu done by Ben and Kush! For some reason this didnt hit his dream meal, you can see it on his face *or he was tired that day.
The effort they put into Barry's & Jamie's menu vs this is sad.
@@svn5994 Yep, and i must admit, i am a bit subjective bcs Mike is my fav sous-shef!
He deserves a Do over yes!
He looks like he's fighting back tears at points. My heart is breaking for him
Awww, poor Mike! He definitely deserved better. 😢
This seems more like a nightmare menu. Poor Mike. Actually his reaction to the milkshake is almost as funny as the dessert cheese video.
I don’t know about a full nightmare because at least the chicken is up his alley, but I Love the idea of doing “nightmare menu” the same way
tbh it feels like Mike’s trying to not hurt their feelings while they Couldn’t Be Ar*ed to make this phenomenal for Mike. He looks like he’s trying to hide his disappointment while being appreciative about it 😢
Loved watching Baz's Dream Menu and how much he loved it ... then he took it all as a joke when creating Jamie's menu and messed about, and now Mike's menu had so little consideration being put it. I thought the series would be a wholesome bit of fun as instead of ... "sure, that'll do ".
Agreed, definitely feels like the effort has declined as the series has progressed, leaning more into playing it for laughs ……. Too far actually
@@razorsitch9882I agree. The lack of consideration and "jokes" bother me. Mike is so wholesome and deserves better.
When he did Barry's dream meal he cared so much and did his best. Barry just fucked around during Jamie's dream meal, and they cared even less about Mike's meal. The all knew from the beginning it wasn't Mike's dream meal and it seems to me they just thought "It's Mike, it's fine if he doesn't love it, let's just get it done." James at least seemed to feel bad about it and be disappointed in himself.
Seeing this video after watching that disastrous live stream yesterday is even more disappointing though. I hope Sorted will go back to thoughtful, positive, fun videos. I'm laughing less and less at the jokes because I just don't care for the vibe anymore. Seriously, yesterday it felt like they were trauma bonding and today I watch them put no consideration into their best friends "dream" meal.
this one made me really sad. Not here for practical jokes. You are right. Barries Video radiatedbultimate wholesomeness and eben Jamie seemed extra joyfull. Plus the reminicing over the Person, here it was just... Bickering
You do realize that Ben and Kush preplanned the menu items and then flaked. So not sure why you're trying to blame Barry here.
its not even barry's fault tho so i dont know what are you on. Since the start, the recipe looks like it was made as a joke (bass mean seabass, eventhough he likes chicken more than fish in other question) So, it probably gives the cooks a vibe that they are not going to take it seriously.
The dream menu series always felt like a way for Ben to show how much he loves & appreciates the “normals" since Ben shows his love through his cooking. Working in concert with Kush and another one of the lads, you can just see how much thought & care Ben put into creating and preparing those meals. When Ben cooked with Mike & Barry, the banter displayed everything we love about Sorted: their friendship, their shared history, how Ben gently focuses their cooking while ribbing and complementing their work, mixed with a smattering of BEN-uendos. All that love and care made this series so special.
None of that is present in this video.
So much time is spent criticizing the dishes and not enough time showing appreciation for Mike. Having the others on the side like judges instead of seated at the table sharing the experience with Mike didn’t contribute to showing Mike just how special and cared for he is. Please make another video where one of the lads works with Ben and Kush to come up with a different menu. Please have Ben cook with Jamie to make something truly special for Mike.
Mike deserves it.
THIS!!! Literally everything in your comment is so spot on. Hope Mike gets a do-over and his actual dream menu.
Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better.
James just simply going with whatever the normals come up with, is just GOLD.
“Do you want some shortbread in there?”
He’d just given up by that point 😂😂
#justiceformike 😂 Ben and Kush need to transport him into his dreams!!!
"This is hard enough without you being incredibly annoying." Oh James, we've missed you. 😂
Mike was absolutely done DIRTY! Barry got home made pasta and a specially designed cocktail, Jamie got a burrito the size of a small child and Mike got....... KFC and jarred pickalilly.
Mike needs a redo Dream Menu with Kush or Ben assisting/reigning in the Normals in making the dish.
Cant help but feel bad for Mike. Everyone else has gotten a true dream menu, with genuine care and consideration. Mike got this. Really, really sad.
I am sorry to say this fellas. Mike DESERVES a new one! The others actually felt like it was more thought out, and executed more thoughtfully. It doesn't need to be cooked by Kush and Ben only. It just felt like "eh it's what the words says, and there it is...that'll do" #justiceformike
Aww... I want to give Mike a hug after watching this. Mike’s Dream Menu Take 2 maybe? Ben or Kush should definitely be there to execute the vision.
I think the vision was the problem, the man doesn't like raw food or fish and Ben and Kush set a menu with raw fish
Poor Mike, give the man a real Kush 3 course meal when he gets back to work
4:06 No one was expecting extra Mike lore to be dropped out of nowhere like that.
#justiceforMike! What I especially love About the "Dream menue series is the extra dab of wholesomeness. This felt like someone took played a not nice joke on mike. He and we deserve a doover.
I’ve been an avid watcher of sorted for years now and I have to say time and time again Mike gets a bit shafted. He shows time and time again he has care and passion and is creative (remember the cheese stuffed venison (?) ball with Jerusalem artichoke puree?!) yet he has no confidence and this video sums up why in my opinion.
Love all the guys but this imbalance is becoming more and more apparent.
I’m so sad for Mike… “I don’t know what my dream is really“ please Mike, know your friends and family are the dream, so in my eyes you win
My goodness… I’d forgotten how amazing James is! He’s so sweet and firm at the same time, that’s a true gift, because that’s not something you can learn…
Ben and Kush setting up James for this babysitting is diabolical.
I love how shocked the three guys are when Mike genuinely likes the milkshake.
I was surprised too.
Same, I thought he'd be like 'ew gross' but they nailed the flavours of Mike's tongue!
the best part of the video! when James says prior to showing Mike its the worst thing he has ever created on Sorted - then Mike admits its his favourite of the dishes >< hahaha
Mike always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he?
I would love to see Ben and Kush react to how the boys did! I think it would be hilarious for them to have to explain the logic of the fish (because we all know, Mike does not like fish)
I'm gonna add another comment about #JusticeforMike because there's just NO WAY this was fair. The other two got legitimate efforts but Mike got this? Not fair!
Mike absolutely got done dirty on this. He did not get the level of "dream" that everyone else got and that's disappointing.
Mike got the short end of the stick there, not fair. Please have a redo for him.
Love that James is back!
give mike a redo of this! the starter was so sad 😂
Barry banging the chopping boards together to flatten some meat is a vibe. 😂
how did he not crush his fingers?
@@rajivdhir3860 Look at the scene again, it seems like the boards have dimples(?), not sure if that's the right word. You know like holes were they can grab it better to transport. In it and due to that their boards are a good fit to use them as that without hurting
Whilst I still enjoyed this, I definitely feel that Mike needs a redo to be transported to his dream menu like Jamie and Barry
At this point it feels like ebbers just wants to force the boys to like fish as much as he does
I'm surprised he didn't make Mike a fish pie.
I'm not going to lie, watching Mike try those was quite tough, he needs and deserves it done properly. Maybe as a follow up "What we meant" video by Kush and Ben
Think Mike deserves a do-over. Although, what a kind guy being so grateful for dishes that weren’t really his dream.
We definitely need to see a dream menu for James, but I would also love to see some for the crew behind the cameras.
Oooh yes!! Crew would be so much fun
I want this cryptic quiz thingy on the sorted website just so we can all guess what our dream menu would look like cz i still have no idea how ben comes up with these dishes from those choices
Great idea!!! That’s definitely something we could do! 🙌🙌
This!! All of this
Yes!
Yesss!! I would love to see what my secret surprise dream menu would be!!
I love these just because of the weird logic the chefs use to justify their decision. Also the dessert sounds amazing... Any chance we could get the recipe on Sidekick?
But I agree that Mike should get a do-over. They also need to say nicer things about Mike while cooking rather than just rib on Ben and Kush. Jamies dream menu is one of the most wholesome videos cuz of the way Barry and Ben talk about him while cooking ❤
“Someone has to shave coconut and it’s not going to be me!” James Haha!
Mike's ability to be genuinely appreciative after that makes me want to give him a hug.
Oh goodness gracious gravy. Mike is really being a good sport but he deserves much better. The kitchen sink milkshake is hilarious.
Barry "I can't debone a thigh" vs Jamie, who deboned a thigh without being prompted to way back at the start of the badge quest.
Sorted Sous Chef, ladies and gentlemen!
Nothing is more hurtful from close friends than something "made just for you" that isn't great and reveals they either don't know you or intentionally did something you're not crazy about (like the bass). Poor Mike! He's such a sweetheart and deserved to feel as treasured and catered to as the rest. He's the last person who should have to put a brave face on a disappointment!
MIke is too kind, he let you guys of the hook 😂😂
James throwing that lime while plating his frustration is so James 😂 love to see him again
Mike is too humble and self-deprecating. It’s why I love him.
I’m gonna cry for Mike 😢
Thank you so much for bringing James back occasionally! I miss him dearly, he always adds something magical to the show :)
Love the dream menu series! Please make Kush's dream menu next! The kusher of chaos definitely deserves it! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great shout. We’ll do our best, but the man has VERY high standards!!
@@SortedFoodand that's why we love him!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@SortedFood Which is why the menu should be made up of the lowest quality (but still kinda healthy) food you can get ahold of. Kush gets a nightmare menu
@@SortedFood He won't have very high standards by the time you've cooked his food ;)
@@johnnycaruthers7180 Get knotted, creep.
I think Mike might need another go... just a bit kinder haha
Mike should get a do over of his menu especially since only oneof the things he really liked maybe Kush and Ben redo it since they were gone and couldn't make it the way they Envisioned it.
Loved this 😂 but tbf mike deserves a menu ftom Ben or kush just like the other boys got. A tad unfair imo
I loved that the thing the chefs thought was awful was the one Mike liked the best! That was perfection.
After seeing James in this challenge my mind came up with this:
Ben - Lawful good
James - True neutral
Kush - Chaotic Evil
Congratulations to Kush and his wife!
I liked this video mainly because James was in it and mike was so humble with the dishes he had for his " dream " menu #mikedeservesbetter! Lol and the two condiments that he liked were not made by them but from the store out of a jar. Was that part of the menu outline or because they didn't feel like making something like that? And a tempura batter is easy to make from scratch and flavored butter in it was James' idea. ...
I'm sure everyone will agree on this: we love having James back!!! ❤
Yesterday's Live was fantastic, and now another James video, The SORTED team we see on camera is beloved but the ones we don't see make it possible for such top quality content coming our way like clockwork, so thank you to all the SORTED team behind the scenes!
At long last, the return of the one gadget that is to James what garlic and silver is to vampires.. The Coconut shaver!!!!!
Love James appearing- don't get me wrong, it was great seeing him. But, come on, Mike was done dirty here. Give him a menu worthy of his dreams!
Kush sabotaging James knowing this was probably filmed before the live show. He really wanted to establish some beef before the match.
Mike deserves another version of this video
So hilarious to watch the boys fumble around with the creation of the drink only for Mike to absolutely love it. The looks on their faces when he gave it a 9/10 was amazing. 😂
"Not *your* finger!!" had me rolling with laughter.
Glad this series came back, this is one of my favorite series!
James being so unhinged in this is SENDING me haha
Okay now I kind of want an episode where kush and Ben come in and cook it in the whole "What we said VS what we expected"
Next dream menu should be one of the crew members, who ever has been there the longest and having to deal with you all lol
Ed and Izzy feel like top contenders right? ❤
@@toni_go96 oh my god, yes! They were my first thought actually but I didn't know if someone else might have been there before them or would like a chance!
Great idea. They deserve it.
Not gonna lie, Barry being utterly dazzled at his own brilliance for smashing a chicken between two cutting boards might me the best laugh I’ve had all week
All I see here is James making demands and doing the easy stuff (as head chef of course), Barry being the perfect Sous and doing all the difficult or loud tasks and Jamie being just a ball of anxiety - hierarchical cooking at its finest 😂
I appreciate Mike giving a smug face when he picked feather over scale as if he'd avoided fish - Minutes after picking the word Bass which is literally a fish
James dream menu would be fun. He'd probably stop at 6 questions though, because he's too serious for this crap lol
Mike was being generous.... Mike should be next.
I really liked how in the other ones it seemed like they really tried and cared about giving something really nice to there friend. In this it seemed a bit more like what you guys normally do in other series. Don't get me wrong I love the joking about and stuff but it's nice to see you guys acutlly try really hard and work to make the best dish you can, and really show how much you know each other and care about each other.
Anarchy with James is just so what I needed today - more! :)
That James Bond reference was INSANE!
Absolutely entertaining video, but in all fairness Mike deserves a re-do 😭👏🏽
Mike deserves a do over --- that said, setting the guys up with an impossible menu was wonderful. And the fact that he loved that smoothie is perfect
