Barry's child preferring chai latte over chocolate means he is 100% Barry-mini in progress :D

Ben: "I have not got kids"

And somewhere in a Dickensian orphanage, Tyrone sheds a lonely tear, thinking of the love his father shall never give him...

"No it's a cheese ball which means you're at a ball, like a party, and it's about cheese" 😂
Purple shirt is proper Brit lmao

I love that cooking at Barry's house means you are able to find all those kitchen utensils that wandered off from the studio 😂😂

“will eat courgette if it’s called hot cucumber” this kid gets it

[hannahdancy]

After a major trauma, my friend's daughter had serious eating issues and wouldn't eat anything but the basics (and, in general, barely ate). I made her a taco night and she LOVED it! Never underestimate the power of a taco night.
(also, she's a lot better now - has expanded her horizons a ton)

You can absolutely tell that Jamie is a dad simply by his interaction with the kids ❤

[TheElly]

Exactly what I expected. but hey still massive props to Ben. His ideas worked, kids cant always be eating whatever they want and getting them to try something new and having them enjoying it is also a win in my book

[nexasmerideus]

Jamie's look to Barry when Ben says "80% dark chocolate" had me laughing.

[miranda]

Ben's face of betrayal when no kids picked him was felt on a deep level. One of the best sorted videos I've seen.

Love the respect the cooks used when talking about these kids and their food preferences! There was no being mean or belittling over kids as picky eaters, or talking down their flavour palettes/cajoling them into being more experimental via coercive lines of reasoning. Instead, the focus was on respecting their dietary choices, and working out how - within those expressed preferences - to create an environment where the kids feel excited to try something new. Great stuff!

"Dates, seafood, chai lattes" @0:59 I'm guessing a certain sous-chef is responsible for this 😂

[KettenSyndicate]

Even though Jamie won, I believe Ben is the real winner here because he convinced a bunch of five year olds to gobble up and absolutely devour "grown-up" food and they loved it, even though they were just told to put down their tacos. That's the real wonder here: they loved eating something unknown and outlandish even though they just came from something they already loved – and they did not wish to go back. :D Yes, the taco-party is the perfect birthday-party feast and was bound to win as a concept. But the look and the concept of Bens meal was so out-there for a five year old that I was absolutely sure, that they would push it aside and ask for the tacos back.

There used to be a food channel that had kids draw a photo of a dish they wanted to eat and 2 chefs would compete to cook the dish and the kids would rate them. They were brutal and didn’t hold back and I so hope the same happens here! I was a teacher and kids have always been brutal and hard to please. It’s endearing and ego bursting at the same time 😂

[JHarris]

"Loves: Grandad's Macaroni cheese..."

"Dislikes: Cheese...."

[evergreentree]

Austin likes dates, seafood and chai lattes.
Me: that must be Barry's kid.

[markgaudry]

This is one of your best ever. Ben, your desire feed them well was just what I like. Your restraint in seasoning is admirable. Now transfer all this to old men with heart trouble, high blood pressure, and diabetes and now I can finally eat your food. Please, sidekick more like this.

[sammythefox]

"Dislikes, some pasta (depending on mood) " is so accurate!

[Joceeeboo]

Ben absolutely wins this one!! Very impressive that the kids were so happy with what he served. Taco night was a very safe move, though Jamie's dessert was quite cute

[ublama]

As a chef in a school here in Sweden. I season alot and use dijon mustard in almost all my recipes and the kids love it. Ages from 6-12 years old. They are only scared of foods they havent seen before, and new dishes. But the next time we serve it they will devour it. They are shocked when i say that most dishes we cook has mustard and onions in them. Because they all say they hate those 2. No you dont
