We cook from a Chef’s Fridge

Today we ask ‘What can you cook if you HAD to use ingredients from a chefs fridge?!’ Chef Ebbers has restricted the normals from using our Sidekick App, books and any planning to go head to head to head in testing our ability to improvise!

YES MIKE. He is clearly a very talented cook but I feel like sometimes he counts himself out before he even starts, so it was lovely to watch him succeed and win this!

With fish, milk and potatoes we all know Ben wanted to make the ever comforting Fish Pie

[fletchly]

Mike made a mid week meal into something chef-inspired. Making that in 30 minutes, off the cuff, was brilliant!

[Matt-mwvk]

Mike started doing a Jamie with big bold ideas, plated like Barry and pulled his gamble off with just a little huttlestorm. Great work Mike!!

[verndogs]

Mike's moment of ingenuity reminds me of when he created the Ramen Burger for a staff meal. Great out of the box thinking!

[carolynb]

Mike totally earned this one...but the guys searching for the hidden chef absolutely killed me 💀💀💀😂😂😂

Mike doubts himself so often, but this is the kind of dish we all know he’s capable of. Glad to see him clinch the win!

This was one of the best sorted videos of the last six months in my opinion. Three amazing plates of food cooked totally by the normals without any gimmicks or chefy interference. It brings me back to the very beginning of Chef Skills in 2021. Such a joy to see all three normals find something creative and delicious in Ben’s ingredients, and so cool to see how a chef’s fridge doesn’t always need to be that different from a normals.

Of the 3 normals Mike has internalized his years of sorted the best. He has the knowledge. He has the ability. He's just not there in the confidence department. He self sabotages himself so often by getting into his own head. It's wonderful to see him just bring out his A game. Mike your amazing man.

Now this is the Mike I know he can be. Honestly it really was the teamwork that knocked them apart last time. Mike's dish was just a showing of proper skill and creativity.

[gconnor]

The winning dish looked fantastic! I would order that in a restaurant, also I would love to see mikes innovative style continue this year!

[louisenft]

in love w ben's little "oh it's time to BeReal". slayed

[LocIsBac]

So, first off, Barry's face at Mike when he said he's done so badly this past year (5:25) epitomizes what I think we all saw thos episode; Mike needs confidence in his cooking because, yes, he has a distance to go and has Huddlestorms but when he steps outside of his box it can really soar. The Duck Ramen Burger comes to mind.

[TheBlobblinMaster]

idk if it's just me but Ben always seems to try and encourage Mike in a different way than he does Jamie and Barry. it's so lovely to see. also Mike quite often comes up with some pretty good ideas, really happy for him here. it looked delicious

[springtick]

The look Ben did when he heard Mike's idea for the battle was hilarious

[Embarblaze]

This is why Mike is my favorite, out of the box thinking. Who else would have looked at that box and said “yeah I could make a scotch egg out of that”

[saravonsega]

MIKE REDEMPTION ERA!!!! i feel like he's so often taken down by the pressure and time crunch rather than lack of skill or creativity so i'm really pleased for him getting the win in this one! great looking dishes from all three normals though, they all looked so tasty

[andymorgans]

Would love to see what Ben would do with ingredients from a normals fridge

[TomOConnor-BlobOpera]

"Barry: We're looking in his fridge, not under his bed" *dying with laughter here*

[Fyreflier]

The _rage_ happening behind Ben when he was eating Mike's dish gave me flashbacks to the original chicken battle when the pasty was raw
Well-deserved win for Mike there - loved the cheffy jzooje of the artichoke puree, so beautifully plated, and that melty cheese was perfect
