- It's time for another challenge! Kush and Mike are cooking back to back taking on the same dish with the same ingredients, BUT what will the end result look and taste like?!

Mike talking shit about himself and then Kush sweetly tricking him into giving a detailed explanation about why he's done such a great job is the most wholesome thing I've seen all week.
I enjoy this format without a timer. Mike doesn't panic, therefore we get to experience his thought process as someone with years of experience cooking, rather than pandemonium. Kush is such a fantastic addition to the team.
I hate anything with a timer, just making a rule for the sake of chaos which is fine but I feel like its always timed for no reason.
I would absolutely love if we saw Kush teaching the boys (and us) more. Supremely entertaining
Agreed. I think he's a natural teacher.
yep . he is waaay more knowlegable than ebbers too . michelin level .
Or have him decode a recipe from the famed 1914 cookbook!
Seems like we do, we see Kush as much as Evers (sic?) these days, he's the second chef now. Although I notice the 1/2 chefs 3 normals opener is gone from the intro, about, etc, like they don't want to define the team that rigidly any more.
@@myname-mz3lo I wouldn't even say that, it's just that Ebbers has long since passed on his knowledge over the last 13 or so years. Even two equally skilled teachers have different areas of specialization. Probably helps as well that Kush's restaurant experience is far more recent, he'll have picked up some modern tricks that just weren't used back when Ebbers got his training.
Kush seemed to explain every decision more than usual and I am here for it! Might be me, but it seemed so dense with cheffy tips today. Love it
Yes!
I will 100% try to do his polenta at home one of these days
Loving seeing more of Kush in front of the camera. Would be interested to see him face off against Barry and Jamie in this format. Also: the way he just slowly moved the shelving closer to Mike was hillarious.
Love the way that Kush had his cooking order all planned out and was starting to cook before Mike had managed to get his cards in order lol. That really is the difference between a chef and a cook. A chef can quickly decide what needs to happen and get onto it, with multiple things on the go at once.
Exactly this!
It's the same with any profession. We humans generally specialise in things to become great at them. No individual is great at everything. Like anyone in a court room will shudder if someone decides to defend themselves in court without having a suitable education for it.
@@jenat82slightly different though as chefs and cooks both works in kitchens with food daily, your comparison isn’t quite the same
I'd love to see Kush in a "Pass It On" episode
prep work is like 80% of kitchen work
A "Classic sauces" episode with Kush would be great! Mike's never made a peppercorn sauce until today, and I suspect most others haven't either!
This is a superb idea, a "classic sauces" episode/series would be so fun and really useful especially if you then demo the sauce application in different dishes.
This would be so nice to have!
I have an idea, The Ultimate Michelin Star Battle, each normal picks up a dish from any michelin star restaurant they like, and re-create them without any help from the food team!! And then you tell Ebber's that one of the 3 is a michelin star dish which you ordered, and he has to guess even though they are all made in the studio!!! Please do it!!!
Love this idea! 🔥
I second that idea, that is a top notch challenge for our amateur chef normals.
With 3, he might guess the twist; maybe make 4 or 2 dishes
@@modernkennnernyeah, get Kush to do one, too
Love it!
Really had bad deja vu for a second! Was very confused until I saw it was a different dish 😂
Yep, different dish 😆
@@SortedFoodthe start was so so similar, I was so confused for a moment!
Same! Had to check the upload time again! For a moment, I thought someone at sorted didn't get the upload order sorted. 🤣
Different "normal" too, it was Barry last time wasn't it!?
@@Getpojke No hahaha it was mike too
I love watching Mike cook. He really puts his all into it. I feel he's always trying to learn and create better dishes. Can't help but root for him. It's been really fun to watch him learn from Kush and Kush is a great teacher and an inspired chef. It might be fun to see Mike come up with a dish and have Kush cook what he thinks the dish is just from the name of the dish.
When do we get a Kush vs Ben doing this exact thing? Taste tested and ranked by 3 normals. Guess the chef?
I would love to see this! Great idea!!!
GREAT IDEA!
The one I can't wait for, is when James makes one of his all too brief returns, and we potentially get a three way chef battle! James Vs. Ben Vs. Kush, that will be something to behold!
Ben thinks that's a very poor idea.
Kush is like that mischievous child who doesn’t know what to be up to when he has time on his hands . He’s great to watch!
i liked him slowly shrinking Mikes cooking space by pushing the shelves XD
Still would love to see drunk chefs remote control sober normals. It's safe, fun and a way to advertise the gin. Love you all!
Kush is unpredictable enough without gin coursing through his bloodstream!
@@Getpojke HAHA that is so true
Yes! Especially super intricate/complicated recipies
@@Getpojke Drunk normals with a recipe, directing a sober Kush? :D
Have Ben tank a bottle of the gin and then bang that old French cookbook out
I love Kush's calm teaching style. His ability to explain complex ideas very clearly and concisely underscores his expertise.
KUSH complaining about fingered pickles, when he drinks the cream and chicken stock straight from the container
I love KUSH
I do love the teaching style of reflection at the end. It honestly brings something a little new to the "battle" content by having it be more about the normals finding out where they needed to do things differently. It's very refreshing and I'd love to see it with Kush and the other normals. Finding out where I went wrong in my own cooking practice has been a valuable practice for me.
That was an interesting point Kush had about it being more relaxing if Mike had designed the dish. It'd be cool to see Mike design a dish and Kush go in blind.
Really enjoyed Kush's descriptions of what he was doing and why. The calm tone was really engaging and super informative. 👌
I like this format. Next time get mike to plan out a dish and shop for it and make kush cook the dish alongside him with only a description and the ingredients and see whose dish ends up better.
Love this idea! Thank you :)
@@SortedFood no worries love the show
oh that's a really fun idea
Kush is a blast. What a cheeky bugger slowly pushing the walls in on Mike. 😆
This is a good series....Kush vs Mike. Both learning and entertainment!!!!
So glad you're enjoying this series!
I concur
I wholeheartedly agree! Entertainment and education woohoo!
Kush's shenanigans are so funny :D
@@SortedFoodIt's great, but can we torture Barry or Jamie next? Mike needs a rest!
I feel like Mike holds his own pretty well in this format. Either that or the editing is supreme. Probably (definitely) a mix of both.
I really have to applaud the camera team for not howwling in laughter constantly. ❤😂 Ed, Izzy and rest of the unseen heroes
One thing I love about Sorted is how humble everyone is. It really feels like professional chefs come here to chill and just have fun with cooking without having to worry about being "perfect"
It's always a pleasure to watch Kush cook. It's almost meditative, and it's educational at the same time. I actually love the idea of a green polenta. It'd be a great way to encourage kids to eat veggies, and I loved the color. I'd eat that for sure.
We love kush and Mike dynamic there is just so much chaos and confusion I love it
We're here for it! 🙌

I really liked seeing Kush at the end, asking little Michael about how he went about cooking the dish and getting an image of where things went wrong and how he actually did rather well despite his "inexperience". This is such a fun mini-series
Kush is super supportive of the normals. He knows they aren't professional chefs and that they will make mistakes or simply not have the experience that is gained by working in a high stress enviroment. Giving feedback on what he thinks could be done better without being negative is super nice to see.
I love how Mike is entertainingly just like one of us normal, but all the time Kush is giving us tips & techniques to improve our own skills - like deglazing the tray the tomatoes were roasting on! Never, ever have I before - I will now!
The thing that this really illustrates is the depth of knowledge and understanding of not just the how but the *why* of the decisions a trained chef like Kush has that makes a dish come together as smoothly as possible, and the experience he has that lets him figure out order of operations.
Oh another one! I liked this format guys, it's very fun, more Kush is always a bonus!
Glad to hear it 😀
I am absolutely loving Kush's point of view in all of these battles. He shares quickfire tips, and explains why he does something and when. I'm learning little tid bits each episode.
Kush is as good as Ben telling us what he’s doing and why he’s doing what he’s doing and what he expects to happen. More of Kush please. Would be nice and fun to see them doing more stuff together, I mean Ben and Kush, both high end dishes and midweek cooking. And not always competing but teaching us as well.
Although I love these clips too, it’s great to see the difference in normals and chefs take on a recipe and I think Mike is doing really good even if he seems to think he doesn’t.
I love the points made about even though Mike had instructions, the ingredients weren't weighed out for him or given. Also even seasoning as he went, seasoning before reducing down makes a big difference.
Great ep!
Havent said this yet, even though Ive thought it for awile.
Kush is phenomenal at explaining and cooking at the same time. Very impressive.
And as always, its fun to see the normals struggle but learning so much every time. Well done
Video idea: Normal showcases one of their own go to mid week meals vs a chef that is only given the ingredients of the midweek meal and has to improvise.
Great idea!!! 🔥
@@SortedFood Prediction: Mike does chicken, Barry does pasta, Jamie orders a pizza
Love this idea!
I know it's a chef's "thing" but seeing Kush go through and taste everything was unexpected and just a cool angle that tells you he's a serious chef. Love this channel! MORE KUSH!!!
he worked at a michelin starred restaurant .. of course he is a serious chef lol
I do wish he wouldn't put his mouth directly to bottles though tbf they are all friends so its okay for them 👌
My partner made the dish for lumch today, following most of Kush's tips, and he'd like to tell you he's very happy with the result, especially with the sauce! He says his sauces previously turned into flavourful soups rather than actual sauces 😂 And even though I'm a vegetarian, I also loved watching this video and picking up cheffy tips and hacks from Kush and Mike. More of this format please - but with a veggie dish?
I enjoy this Kush - Mike dynamic a lot. I really love that Kush is a bit more "present" for us viewers and this pairing with Mike has the right amount of banter, sass and wholesomeness. Thank you!
Kush giving his thought process as he goes was great, also Mike is hanging in their against a chef and it’s fantastic
Mike is so hard on himself but he’s done so well! Kush is just the master
I know how he feels too.
I'm starting out in cosplay photography, and I'm working along side some absolutely amazing photographers that have been doing it for years, I do some pics, I'm super proud of, I look at what they shot with the same model, and then I just feel massive amounts of disappointment in my own work.
nahh kush was being too humble so mike had to do that
Mike is 100% my favorite person in sorted. Kush might be sneaking his way into my second favorite. Regardless I have very much enjoyed these two episodes
Kush slowly pushing the shelves to make Mike's space smaller had me rolling
I adore this format! Mike is calm and is able to do what he knows and properly display his skills, he isn't thrown into a clusterfuck as with Pass It On (and I do love that series!). Kush is brilliant in front of the camera, he talks us through things so nicely and is kind and encouraging to Mike-sorry, Micheal. 😂 He gave Mike quite good feedback at the end, too, which was just lovely.
Kush is really fun to watch, and he and Mike make a really good combo. Competition, yes, and especially helpful commentary. Thanks!
Loving this new concept!! Loving seeing Kush in more videos!
I love watching and listening to Kush cook, he helps me learn better ways to be more effecient in the kitchen without making me feel stupid for not thinking of these things on my own.
I love this series! You can see what you would do as a normal but can oomph it up by taking pointers from the chef. Great work sortedfood team.👏
I can listen to Kush cook all day. He is really soothing to listen to in this video.
Absolutely love this format: having chef and normal cook the same dish. So much to learn from the chef’s techniques but still entertaining. Love love lovin’ it!
I'm so happy you decided to use your secret ingredient (Kush) more!
Kush explaining what he's doing and why he's doing it as he goes is very very helpful! More of this please.
I love how these are basically just Kush teaching us all how to cook while Mike flaps around trying
This concept is becoming one of my favourites. The guys have a great chemistry, and I feel like Mike is getting better with each episode in dealing with this kind of stuff, where he has to take a step into the unknown. It is also always nice to see how a professional approaches the same challenge. Keep this up!
Sushi hotdog Ebbers is one of my very favourite dishes that I ever seen on this channel. :)
The cool thing about these challanges is that they really demonstrate the importance of mise en place. Taking time to visualize how you want the finished dish to look, taking time to think through how you want to get there, and taking the time to prep your fiddley ingredients while your other ingredients just do their thing is how you can feel more comfortable and competent in a kitchen
This is my favorite of the series. Mike is so calm and confident. Actually love watching him work. Plus, Kush is just the best.
Looking at Mike's dish, he's WORLDS ahead of me!
It would’ve been nice for Kush to arrange the cards at the end to show Mike the order that he might have taken from a Chef’s perspective…💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Love these series with Mike and Kush and that he can be a great teacher for us all including the boys. Mike you've done well with some things here and that it takes time and we need to keep learning. Kush, it's good to see you more at the front of the camera too. Always eye catching for your meals you make with Mike. May try this recipe sometime. Thanks again boys for your entertainment too.
Kush is great, Mike is great, this series is great! I like that it's somewhat pushing the boundary for Mike, though I'm sure it's stressful lol. He really goes all in on his cooking and effort and it shows. Great opportunity to learn on your own, and also learn from Kush as well!
It bears repeating that Kush is a fantastic addition to the on-camera crew.
Really enjoying that this format recurred so quickly. Different vibes to a typical Sorted vid, but still highly informative and useful. Keep it coming :)
I find that Kush explaining things is actually inspiring. I don't need to redo the whole dish, I can just go ohhhh I can make polenta like this. Or, ohhhh I can crisp up garlic (for whatever recipe) like this. It's really cool.
yes! and those little tips can be applied in so many different dishes/situations!
@@jayzen76 yes!!!!
love this series, please make more! Kush also asks really good questions when tasting Mike's food. Great way of learning from the experience :)
Absolutely great the way they are together and discussed the how’s and why’s of what they made. Mike is so hard on himself and he banged out a great looking plate of food. Kush is just a wonderful fit - great teacher, loves to bust their chops, incredibly talented, and is so encouraging. More, more, more please!
Huttlestorm and KUSHtastrophe in the kitchen again! Already got snacks for this superb show ready! You guys always make me smile!
What snacks do you have? 👀
@@SortedFoodSalted peanuts with caramel! 🤤🤤🤤🤤
0:16 dont sell yourself short Mike! The ebbers sushi dog is now an eternal classic!🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂
We know right! Some might even say LEGENDARY 🔥
@@SortedFoodAMEN!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Really enjoyed this. Thank you team! The non hectic format/and the teaching by both of them was great. Kush and Mike are a great on screen team.
Great series & learned loads as each step was explained by both!
So glad you enjoyed it and learnt stuff too!
This series is epic :) would love to see an elimination tournament version where each chef draw a normals name out of a hat to decide who goes against who and the winner of each is decided by food team and goes on to the next round until you crown a champion :)
I really like the contrast between Kush the chef calmly and professionally cooking and explaining what he’s doing, and the impish trickster Kush quietly sneaking the walls in on Mike.
I feel like Mike always makes a plate that looks like I'd love to eat it. His default style seems to be comfort food which I am here for.
Kush is a genuine joy to watch in the kitchen. Also really loving this series.
I said it for episode 1 and I’ll say it again: this format is amazing. Fun and entertaining, yet full of super useful insight into the mind of a brilliant chef. It almost reminds me of the old format where you’d all do 3 versions of the same dish, but with different levels of complexity or time required. Also, more Kush is always a good thing!
Love the way Kush explains things!
Kush is an amazing part of this team
By far easily becoming one of the favorite mini-series you guys have cooked up! We totally need more of these and with the other team members. Entertaining yet educational!
absolutely love Kush. need so much more of him in the sorted videos
I love how kush judges things, he seems so honest like if somethings bad he'll tell you but also he talks through the cooking process explaining how you ended up where you did which is really useful bc it's easy to go that all went well or that all went horribly when in reality there's always areas to improve but you also almost never do nothing right
Truly enjoyed Kush having Mike break down his dish, giving him feedback that is both helpful to him and us (like not adding seasoning before cooking it down) and see Mike feel accomplished with his dish rather than feeling down about what he crates
Love seeing Kush and Mike together. They have such friendly respectful competition. Great pairing.
The walls slowly closing in on Mike without him knowing was great😂
I knew in my heart that when Mike said "And I cook things like this" that it was going to pan to the hotdog Ebbers. Glad to not be disappointed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kush, when he's not chaotically sabotaging, is an excellent teaching chef. Really a joy to watch
I hope Kush got a juicy payrise with the increased camera time because he's sooooo good
I love these videos because despite his self-effacing comments, these really show off how much Mike knows his way around the kitchen by now, that he can actually kinda keep up with Kush with only minimal handicaps.
I am so loving how much of Kush we get these days. Keep it coming!
These two in this format is so much fun!
Very much enjoyed Kush today, very detailed explanations. Super helpful considering how quickly he works.
Really like the way Kush explains his thinking, and plan of attack
Having Kush really is great for the channel 😊
Would love to see the version of this where Mike gets to plan the dish (no help) and then Kush gets the name and ingredients and has to invent his version. Still a battle, but one that handicaps the trained professional instead.
Really enjoy watching these ones, it shows the difference between a pro vs normal. Very insightful!
I love seeing Kush in these videos because he explains everything he's doing and then gives Mike constructive feedback and is kind and thoughtful in what he says. A little less chaos than the Kush of other videos
Kush is really great. I learn so much when he cooks.
I love this new show. Kush really shines in this format and gives out helpful tips to both the viewers and Mike and sort of mentors him as well.
If I could make a suggestion, maybe don't reveal what the dishes look like in the thumbnail so we can be as surprised as they are with the end results.
Really interesting to watch Mike synthesize information (with some misfires and some successes). Honestly, I feel like this is a tremendously relatable series: how someone can take a crack at it with some information but no real familiarity, juxtaposed against someone who is steady on the wheel the whole way through. I've learnt quite a bit.
PS - Mike, give yourself more credit. This is well done.
A final thought: I would be interested in seeing Mike "remake" one of the dishes they've done in this format, knowing what he knows after the fact/after Kush's debrief. What changes does he make? What tips stuck? How (if at all) is the dish more accessible to make?
I don't make a habit of commenting, but Kush, what a guy. The team have a great dynamic on camera and Kush just adds to it. Keep up these videos please.
Absolutely love this series. Keep em coming boys!
On the one hand, yayee more Kush cooking and more of this series! I really like it
On the other hand, poor Mike! The other normals need to be on the receiving end of Kush's skills too!
Actually, maybe even Ebbers. I laughed so much at Kush casually throwing shade at Ebbers' knife skills in that one short and one battle, and I want more smack talk! 😂
