I do love this format, but I'd be interested in seeing one where they both use the same set of ingredients. So, the person who chooses isn't just considering ingredients they like vs ingredients to give to their opponent, but they're trying to pick ingredients that they think they can use better than the other guy.

Growing up with food network, I hate cook battles in general but the guys at sorted make it fun and interesting with actual camaraderie and dialogue about the process without all the needless annoying added drama or constant cuts. Thanks guys!

Well Barry is a normal and he chose Ben's sausage... so you're correct!

When I saw Ben's ingredients, I immediately thought about mofongo. I would have fried up the plantains and the hot dogs in the same oil until the dogs were crispy and the plantain cooked and then mashed them up with garlic, oil, and topped with some quick pickle onion and a sauce of olive oil, garlic, cilantro (or other herb), and lime. This battle was so fun to watch. :)

Giving the King of Bennuendos Hot Dogs. Kush knew what he was doing...

Ebbers, please never stop with the innuendo! You make me laugh every time.

Watching the chefs at work is like watching theatre. It's as much an art as it is food science, it genuinely blows my mind how they can see amazing flavour from very random ingredients. The last time I felt like I did at the end of this video was when James and Kush wrapped up a pass it on in the summer live stream last year, they walked into chaos and brought together an incredible dish from nowhere...

Ebbers smashed it genuinely impressed and Kush made such a stunning looking dish too. Well played Chefs!

I think its so fascinating how kush's work is always so cheffy and sophisticated but the reality is he just when in doubt blends everything together, and just puts stuff in a hot pan to cook lol its actually nothing very complicated at all but the results are fantastic.

Man I get it why Ben's dish got the win, but Kush's dish looked so complex and thought out for just 15 minutes. It'd seriously love to try that.

This battle is the reason why I watch Sorted. Sure, pass-it-on are fun. But just seeing Kush and Ben being in absolute control, having pretty much finished the dish in 6 minutes is more satisfying... I guess it tells more about me ...

Chef vs chef challenge but Ebbers isn't allowed to use herbs and Kush isn't allowed to use a blender 😂

The Benuendos are getting _delightfully_ unhinged! And good grief, lads, both dishes look absolutely stonking! I wanna try making both of those now.

I love Kush's reaction to hearing what Ben made. You can tell he hadn't thought of making something like that. It's this way of lighting up where you can see both that passion for cooking and a good competitive spirit

"clasics from berlin that don't need changing" procedes to change everything about the currywurst exept the Ketchup.

From seeing the dishes being prepared, and from Barry's descriptions. I would probably love both dishes. But I think my winning choice would have been Kush's dish because of the balance that Barry described. Proper balance in a dish, and in a battle like this? Not an easy feat.

I love how Kush wasnt even subtle about picking ingredients, just to sabotage Ben 😂

Kush's reaction when his dish lost..like Barry you are full.of crap lying.😂😂😂
