Chef vs Normal Mystery Box Challenge | MUST USE EVERYTHING | Sorted Food

We have a Chef - Kush. We have a normal home cook - Jamie and a box full of mystery ingredients.

They must each use ALL the ingredients in the box to create something epic. And to balance the scales, we’re giving Kush half of Jamie’s time!!

It’s going to be a fun one everybody!

Honestly the chef redoing the losing dish or even taking the other dish to a different place would be a fun exploration

“I’m sticking to things I know here” - Says Kush while he is blending up pork pie, cuttlefish, and Chinese chives. 😂

Everytime Kush says Lotus Root after Mike says fruit makes me laugh and cringe for Mike, how does he not hear it? 😂😂😂

[altejoh]

I love how Kush goes into teacher mode after these battles, i think it goes to show how the normals have progressed so far that only a few conceptual tweaks and they could be doing what the chefs are doing :D

Kush’s brain for flavour combinations never ceases to amaze me.
Can’t wait to see what the rest of this advent gift brings, I’m hoping that Sunday’s final gift is the Chef’s PIO that Ben and James were so casually mentioning in yesterday’s video.

What i truly LOVE about the Kush-Jamie dynamic is the two sides of it. The banter is fantastic throughout and in the end Kush is so wholesome and supportive. There is always encouragement, tips and recognition coming from him.

Thank you Sorted team for the amazing advent calendar. Its such a joy to be able to enjoy a new video everyday. Thanks a lot for the amazing work, and all the passion you share with us.

“This is just the bin of someones cupboard.”

Is that how Sortedfood employees get rid of stuff they won’t use up in time before it goes bad? 😂

Kush is unbelievably talented, so exciting to see him work!!

♪ "But if you sing it~~ it takes~~ the edge off the panic~~" ♪ @10:07 might just be my new favorite ditty for psyching myself up to do something (or singing my way through it)! Trying weird foods, merging into traffic... the possibilities seem endless. Thanks for the musical collab there, Jamiike Huttleford! (...Michamie Spaffstone?) 😂

The sincerity in Mike's voice when he told Jamie not to eat the Lotus Fruit (root) raw was great, almost like he'd tried some earlier and realised how bitter they were!

[Andyboi_SK]

Mike calling it "Lotus fruit" then the precaution had me dying 🤣😂 Love the texture of steamed lotus root!

[edpotter]

Kush's creativity isn't just in developing something completely new and out of the box. I love how he sees a "losing dish" and knows exactly how to turn it into a winning dish without changing it into something completely new. Definitely would love a series with Kush as the center!

[jaimis]

i love how they just didnt say anything about jamie's cuttlefish... took a bite and just moved on to kush lol

[ianmac]

Kush grabbing the bown from his sauce and munching on some of the lotus fruit chips the second thr service was done is the most line Chef thing I have ever seen him do on camera and I loved it.

[lynnettesue]

Love when Kush does these competitions, because getting to hear his excellent constructive advice to the guys and the eager way they soak that in, is wonderful to see. 😄

[Karoline_g]

I really love chaos goblin vs chaos goblin contests 😁 (not that kush was particularly chaotic this time, but still, I love it)

I also really love things like this because it’s like proof that no matter what weird things we have in our cabinets, something delicious COULD be made.

[SapphireMan]

I’d love to see Kush and Jamie work together to do that idea mentioned at the end.

Kush’s knowledge of flavour pairings + Jamie’s ideas would work so well together!

[efffvss]

Stuff like this, with weird ingredient mixes and viciously short time limits, is exactly what I wish more of those 'Masterchef' style TV programs did to test the skill of their contestants (especially when they're judging supposed 'professionals'). What Kush managed to throw together, in less time than this video even, was just incredible.

[alexdavis]

Kush is sticking to what he knows and Jamie is doing the same with his snacking platter!
