  1. Mike deserves the win. Hail Mary it may be that looks so interesting and the use rhubarb is so strange I really would like to try that.

  2. More of this kind of video. This seems like the reality of midweek cooking.

  3. If barry served that steak as medium that plate would be flying into his head coz that cow is still mooing

  4. That is what I would call Medium Rare, but I'm a non-normal on the East Coast of the US. We tend to like our cuts rarer than you do.

  5. is it bad the first thing i thought of when i saw what barry had was steak sandwich with mayo from the aquafaba and crispy chick peas as a side with a quick pickle on some cucumber matchsticks

  6. I keep on seeing with these improvisation challenges, more often than the other normals, Mike seems to always pull something out

  7. I'd love to see this done as a proper battle between all 3 of them in the kitchen together at the same time. Well done, Mike!!

  8. Mike's dish looked amazing. Something that could be served in a restaurant. Can you include the recipe online, in your meal packs app or in a cookbook? I want to try making this myself.

  9. im not too big on chick peas, but also not a huge fish guy, but i love curry, so i think thats a just verdict. also, i love rhubarb, so now im gonna have to try that at home

  10. not to be THAT GUY but Barry's dish was basically just meat on chickpeas and cucumber… Speedy, yes.. but I don't think anyone would be happy to be served that, to be honest.

  11. I do agree that Mike's dish is by far superior to the steak on chickpeas. A lot more work involved and he pulled it off in 15 minutes. Much harder ingredients to work with too. He might have gotten lucky by going out on a whim and throwing stuff into a pot, but hey, that's how you end up with either really good or really bad dishes.
    For me the steak would be overcooked – it's a nice steak and I'd see no reason why it needs cooking at all. Just frost it a little, slice it super thin, throw it on that cucumbered over chickpea miso salad and maybe sprinkle a few fried capers over it for extra crunch or give it a few slivers of parmesan. A drizzle of balsamico or better aged chinese vinegar would round it out.

  12. I honestly feel like there should be a badge challenge tailored specifically to something each of the Normals is guilty of. For example, Jamie seems to love using his hands as measuring instruments, getting his hands in all sorts of different things and generally just bent really unhygienic, like when he ate part of a stroopwafel and just threw it in with others to blitz up for one of his dishes.

    Michael really needs to work on his organization and planning. The term Huttlestorm exists for good reason, and it’s just because he seems to have a lot of trouble deciding what he wants to do and just throws the entire kitchen cupboard onto the workstation in hopes he’ll get some inspiration for something to make.

    Barry’s would probably be the most challenging though, because he seems almost unwilling to work as part of a team. In a lot of team-based challenges he’ll look at what everyone else has done and just decide “I don’t want to do what they’re doing, I’m going to make a cloud egg.” Not to mentions how he occasionally removes ingredients from a dish just because he personally doesn’t like them. He just seems to put too much emphasis on standing out and putting something on the plate that just screams “Barry Taylor” with no real thought about how it would work with the overall dish.

  13. Rhubarb is good in savory food. I use it in a Persian meat dish. Barry should have grabbed the rhubarb. That would have make Mike's job harder.
    Cucumber is tougher than you think.

    Lime, cinnamon and cooked onion are making it sweeter.

  14. This is the kind of competition I like, Good friends who support each other while trying to win the challenge. It is unfortunate that we can't taste Mike's Rhubarb cos it has me intrigued!
