*"In the normal battles, we're arguing because somebody's set somebody else's recipe alight. In the chef vs. chef battles, they argue about what temperature to temper your chocolate at!"* that's whats makes them even funnier hahaha. They are literally getting salty over stuff like.....salt!

"Either i'm gonna win, or i'm gonna leave"... This aged well!

Ben: 10 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius for a perfect ginger cookie James in the background: I’m already a perfect ginger cookie

"Taylor Swift has just won the ultimate presidential election against Kanye West..." Little did he know

James: *dusts in roses* Ben: *pours in gin* I dont think a episode has ever described these two better 😂

Please do Chef vs Chef: Beans on Toast battle. Do everything from scratch, make your own bread, decide how to cook beans, whatever. I just want to see the simplest meal in the world cheffed up to ridiculous levels.

James' face when he bit into the ginger cookie...hahahah....oh you salty sassy perfect man

Why is nobody talking about 8:50 bit when James caught the spoon ?? So impressive haha

I love how savage James was being in this!

I would want James' dessert after a fancy dinner and Ben's for a midnight snack. On the same night. Because that much sugar can't be bad for you. Surely.... Surely...

Love when Jamie planted one on Barry, mgosh! The cuteness

I think Ben's dish was great but James just won everything. It looks amazing and well of course, it was James. You have to love James. I would love to see the sorted guys go to someone's home and make a meal out of what they have on hand.

Three of you: Cheers Barry: Has already shoved his portion in his gob

I think an idea like that has already been brought up, but what about a battle where they have to recreate a dish just from taste. It could either be all 3 "normals" or the normals against a chef, but to make it more fair the chef would be blindfolded relying on his other senses, while trying the prepared dish

It would be a cool idea to have a chef vs chef battle where they need to cook only using ingredients that could be reasonably found in a college dorm. I really want to see what these guys come up with

"Tell me you got that" greatest moment when James caught whatever that thing was.

I am dying to watch a Chef vs Chef battle with really crap ingredients: pot noodles, tinned ravioli, ready meals, mystery meat nuggets, etc... I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE, SORTED! Just think of how miserable James and Ben would be!

When will James win? WHEN? Look at that gorgeous mirror glaze. LOOK AT IT.

James' looked like something you could order from a haute cuisine restaurant, gorgeous dessert. Loved both though, but throwing in a bit of extra love for James who worked hard for this one

James should have won most of these battles (except the italian one for sure) if I'm honest; his clever use of ingredients and the balance he strikes with those flavors should win out. Ben definitely is equally talented, but I think he focuses on the palette of the judges, which admittedly is what you want in a personal chef or a test kitchen chef, and something that is probably factored in when they judge. Very much a clash of two different approaches to cooking and ways of going about impressing the judges. I'd like to see a panel of industry experts judge their foods vs normal people judging their food. Probably wouldn't happen, but one could dream.

Is James actually using the Dreamfarm Supoon from the gadgets?! wow

James was the best, it looks sooo good, look at the shine on that chocolate. both desserts look amazing. but James has his on another level.

This video came out the day after my grandfather died and I was desperate for something to raise my spirits. The food looked fantastic and I was planning to make Ben's dish for the memorial service. Then Jamie told the dad joke, and I laughed so hard I nearly spit out a lung! My grandfather had a wicked sense of humour and he would have loved this! told it to my uncle (his son) the next day at the funeral home and he howled with laughter. It was just what we needed, so thank you Jamie and Sorted!

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 ⬅️ me every time I hear "im gooey in the middle baby let me bake"

Since we can't taste it, we're reliant on visuals and James's looked incredible, much better than Ben's. James gets my vote. That shine was something else

James wins fo rme. I love rose, elder flower, pistachio and pomegranate. His desert sounds delightful.

Good on you Ben! I giggled when the boys moaned "Oh Ebbers" 😄😄😄

This competition had two elements - planning and execution. By deciding the winner only from what you would choose from the menu, you’re only judging the planning element and ignoring the execution. Have I watched too many of these videos that I was crushed that James didn’t win and had to go to bed early? Go Team James!

We're going to miss you James

Chose one? Nah mate. It’s chocolate. *I’ll take both please and thank you.*

James remembered this and he's finally left 😭

The teacake in a restaurant? I'm sorry, James' looks like a glorious end to a night out (that shine!!)...I see Ben's as something I'd pick up at a good froofy dessert place to bring home for a nice meal. Ultimate, though? That makes me think of something you might happily give up a couple weeks' cheat days for...not something i'd pick up a couple times a week.

That catch of James’ was next level 👏🏻

“It can’t be too lemon-y” 😂 that was a great episode

I would've looooved the pistachio, rose, elderflower, pomegranate desert!! Sounds light, the flavours sounds super balanced and unique!!

James threatening to leave and the actual result of this episode hits differently now that he really leaves 😭

James' Dessert wins for me!

I love Jamie asking if Ben was going to make a mass produced dessert after he won a challenge making a McMuffin. If you want Ben to a real challenge tell him he has to get through an entire recipe without saying the word classic. I love you guys and all your videos I look forward to them.

WRONG! SO VERY WRONG! The artistry, technique and creativity of James' dessert should've won. Also, the sass is REAL. #teamcurrie

On a good day, I could maybe make Ben's recipe, but James' had like 5000 steps. So bc of all the techniques that went in, and because it just sounds amazing, James is my winner.

OMG that little kiss and Barry’s reaction was adorable. Was that just Jamie improvising?

James 100% should have won! His was just so much more elegant and unique. Plus it was stunning to look at.

8:55 Seeing that moment - having just watched this episode for the first time - made me smile, considering the year I'm currently in right now. XD

9m51s in. Something else has just gone "in to the fridge for an hour". Gentlemen, there is NO WAY I'm going to attempt either of these recipes!

Don’t you dare leave, James.

I would hands-down pick James' delegant dessert! 🤤😍

"I am gonna leave" Too soon james

You know what I love about these battles? The way they complement each other's dishes afterwards. That's good sport.

The pretentious spatula makes an appearance!!

Really thought James would win this one 😂

I can't believe James is making this ultra-fancy dish and Ben is just making Viva Puffs. xD

There is a lot to unpack from this episode 4 years later. James warned he would leave if he didn't win (we miss you, James!), and Jamie predicted that Kanye West would be running for president.

beautiful editing wow i'm honestly blown away every time by the camerawork and the editing, as well as the music choices well done!

"Tell me you got that" yes James they got it! *You snatched that spoon out of the air and then proceeded to snatch my wig.*

Well this hasn't aged well has it? "If I don't win this battle I'll probably leave....." oops

James warned you he would leave, but you didn’t listen.

I love the shade thrown around by James.

OF COURSE BEN PUTS GIN IN IT!

hands down I would go out to dinner with my mom, we'd each order one of the desserts and then split them both

He's using that damn elevated kitchen spoon gadget I love it

Not enough people are talking about that beautiful dad joke oh my god Jamie.

I feel like the real winners in chef vs chef battles are always the judges, because they get to eat top tier food.

Jamie's reaction at 11:45 just shows that they all forget how talented Ben really is 😂

Every time I watch one of these videos, I end up replaying the intro at least three times just to hear "I'm gooey in the middle, baby, let me bake" over and over. I love it. And then I end up wanting to make everything I see.

Fun fact. Pistachios are known to spontaneously combust during travel due to heat buildup in the shells. This is why they have some very strict rules on how they are processed and shipped. To avoid, well, hot nut fires.

Everyone is kissing Barry lately in these vids, I quite like it 😏

James: Crunch, crunch, crunch…” You want the rest of this?" as he looks disgusted. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watching this in late 2023, Jamie's prediction at 08:55 for 2024 is so damn on point! I know he seems annoyed with all the waiting, but those are 2 beautiful dishes. Also, love how they just got the supoon in the previous video, but James is already using it quite comfortably.

Ooo! James was using the potentially pretensious spoon!

1.) It is so encouraging to a home cook like me to see James push forward and show us that mistakes can be no big deal. 2.) Really neat to see James use the spatula-spoon thing - will we get an update on how he feels about this gadget? 3.) James, you are lovely and the way you gave so much sass to Ben reminds me of how my big brother and I behave! That being said, my vote goes to Ben this week. I don't have a very sophisticated palate and anytime I try something with rose I can't get over the feeling someone's sprayed perfume in my mouth. But chocolate and marshmallow? Heaven. Thanks SORTEDfood for bringing so much joy to my Sundays.

that kiss is everything!

The look of pure worry on Jamie's face when James offers him the rest of the biscuit 😂

Am I the only one who sings I’m gooey in the middle so let me bake 😂

Great to see Ebbers and James flexing their chef muscles. Great episode!

It's now the end of 2023 and how I wish it was just a presidential battle between Kanye West and Taylor Swift... I love how well that joke aged!

That Pistachio, Rose and Pomegranate Chocolate Tart looks like something else entirely. I'd vote for it even though common dark chocolate candy bars usually do it for me.

Chocolate, marshmallow and biscuit. Is ben making smores?

No hate to Ben, but James was cheated out of a win. His tart and savagery were both on point!

James saying "...I'm just gonna leave." Hits different in 2021

Idea! Chefs: choose the hardest, most complex, complicated concoctions in your culinary arsenal. Then choose a "normal" to attempt the pain. The worse the results the more points for chefs and vice versa.

Jamie and Barry standing in the corner watching and giggling like the naughty boys they are.

I can’t tell you how many times I said oh my! No more winners vs losers, I feel bad for James

The 2024 prediction doesn’t seem like it’s going to be too far off.

2:46 James is using that kitchen gadget from the last video. It’s cool to see you guys continuing to put more miles on gadgets you’ve shown off.

Can't speak for taste, but given the presentation of the dish and seeing how both were made, I'd probably have gone with James

Ben has the other guy's palettes down to a science

8:55 Little did Jamie know, the Kanye bit would come true though 4 years early.

From a menu, I'd choose a tart over a teacake, ginger over white chocolate, rose over marshmallow, and so it would come down to a toss up between plum and pistachio... on a menu, I'd choose James's, but seeing them in the video and seeing how they were made, I'd probably try Ben's first. Good stuff guys. It's not often that I have such a hard time choosing!

James´roasting here was EPIC! too bad there´s no brownie point competition this time around, he woud´ve gotten loads...

Definitely would've gone with James, but I'm not biased at all...

James mocking Ben and his giant marshmallow is everything.

The kiss. I’m dead💀😂

I'm definitely in the minority but I'm glad Ben won xD Also that screaming after he fell for Jamie's joke at the end was priceless~

The joke at the end got me, and I hate it lol

The way James said glucose is everything. XD

The silence as these two crafted their desserts was deafening. They were so focused, and it really showed in their dishes.

Look at James using that spoon-spatula! I'm so glad James finally found love!!

I preferred James's dessert... And that's not only because fancy his smile, beard and the rest.. I actually love pistachios and rose flavoured sweets.

Ben: says Tunnock's teacake Editors: adds random jammy teacake image I am a Scot and we are proud of wir teacakes dinnae call it the same ingredients as a Wagon Wheel
