- Welcome to another Sub-10 Minute Burger Challenge.
- [Group] Yay!
- Today, our very special guest is the founder
of the Hoppers Restaurants,
the amazing Hoppers restaurants in London.
It's friend of the show, Karan!
- [Group] Yeah!
- I'm just getting my stopwatch.
(group laughs)
- All right, so he already doesn't trust us with the timer.
- This is very exciting, but also nerve-wracking.
- Right, Karan, as usual you have the standard
Sorted burger ingredients in front of you,
but also,
you have three mystery ingredients
that you've brought from home
that we wanna give you a chance
to win to put into your burger.
What have you given us?
- So I've given you something I never leave home without,
green chilies.
- [Mike] Okay. - [Jamie] Oh, nice!
- How hot are we talking?
- So these are rocket or finger chilies.
So these are not any old green chilies.
It's not a bird's eye, it's not that big stuff.
It's not a jalapeño.
- I actually-
- He's gone on and on with chilies.
- munch on these while I'm eating something on the side.
- [Crew Member] Munch it!
- [Mike] Munch it!
(group laughing)
- [Mike] Yeah!
- [Ben] Rocket fuel!
- What else have we got?
- [Karan] A very secret sauce
for which you need to buy my book.
- [Both] Ah!
- Lovely plugging
- Smart.
- [Karan] And the bone marrow, which is,
(clap) you know, real butter.
Now if you're eating a beef burger,
you don't wanna use butter, you don't want to use oil.
You want to use real bone marrow-
- [Jamie] Nice.
because that just amps up the flavor as well.
- [Mike] Sounds like he knows what he's doing.
- Well, let's see if he can win any of these ingredients.
(tense electro music)
- [Mike] This is Karan Gokani.
His age is under 40.
That's all he'll let me tell you.
He's originally from Mumbai, but now lives in London.
His favorite dish is black dal and rumali roti.
He's known for making things spicy,
and his unique skill is mentoring Ben.
- Karan, question number one.
(tense music plays softly)
You did a collaboration last year
with well-known burger chain, Shake Shack,
to introduce Sri Lankan flavors to their menu.
But, what did Shake Shack start selling
in New York City when they first opened?
- [Crew Member] Ooh.
- Hot dogs?
- [Jamie] It's hot dogs! - [Mike] Correct answer!
- Yes!
(crowd cheering and clapping) - [Karan] Was I right?
- Question number two, what did Ben learn how to cook
on the plancha when he visited Hoppers?
- Dosa, obviously!
- Correct answer!
(crowd cheering) - Oh, two out of three.
- Final question.
Can he get three outta three?
- Three out of three.
- What curry dish did you teach the boys
how to make when you came in to shoot
your first video with Sorted Food?
Was it chicken, fish, or lamb?
- I just watched it before coming here. The chicken.
The red chicken curry. - [Jamie] Yes!
(cheering and clapping) - [Mike] It's a full house!
- [Jamie] Three out of three!
- [Spectator] Three out of three!
- Thank you.
- Three out three.
Which means you have the bone marrow, the chili
and the sauce.
Let's make a burger!
- Let's make a burger!
- [Ben] Let's do it.
(crowd cheering and clapping)
(tambourine music)
- 3, 2, 1, go! (bell dings)
- Okay, fine.
This is butter.
- [Mike] Straight on the bone marrow.
- [Jamie] Bone marrow in.
- [Karan] Straight on the bone marrow.
- [Mike] Preheated pan.
Sensible.
- Press that down a bit.
I'm gonna try and do a smash burger here.
- [Mike] I like, there's a casual nature to this.
- [Jamie] Yeah.
- [Mike] It's like it's a demo.
So the bone marrow's in the oven.
What we got next?
- [Karan] So, bone marrow is rendering in the oven.
I've got my sauce
simmering here.
- [Ben] Sneaky cartouche!
- So we're just gonna go down here.
- [Ben] What's that? - [Mike] What's he got?
- Another thing I don't leave the house with.
(crowd laughs)
not a cartouche.
So that sauce is looking nice.
- [Jamie] Sauce is heating.
- Turn the heat down a little bit.
That's gonna go into the burger later.
That's my smash burger patty.
- [Mike] It's in.
- [Jamie] It's in! It's in!
- [Karan] That's in.
- Come on mate. You've got this.
- Push it down.
- [Mike] Great job. He's smashing it.
- [Ben] That's the smash.
- [Jamie] Nice. - [Mike] And it's been smashed.
- Are you going for a double or a single?
- Going for a single.
- [Mike] Oh, the single.
Is that the first single we've had?
- That might be the first single we've had.
- The first single we've had on the channel.
- Little bit of...
- [Mike] Karan, this is so controlled.
- This is really controlled.
I, I like this, this route.
- [Mike] So you going raw?
Are you going fried?
- No I'm not.
I'm gonna go sliced into in the bone marrow.
- [Mike] Okay.
- [Jamie] In the bone marrow.
Awesome.
This is gonna be flavor at every level, isn't it?
- I think it's gonna be like smash you in the face flavor.
- [Jamie] What other fillings are you thinking for the,
for the burger?
You got onions, got chile.
- Cheese. - [Jamie] Cheese?
- Chili cheese. Always.
Chile and cheese go well together.
- [Mike] Oh nice.
- So I'm just gonna chop these up.
- [Ben] The chili cheese dosa was the best.
- Exactly.
So this again, inspired by a lot
of the things we make at the restaurant.
Chili cheese dosa...
- I mean, this is casual.
- This is ca- Now we've had, we've had people tackling this
in different ways.
We've had the all chaos to get it done
as quickly as possible.
- I thought it was quite calm.
(laughing)
- Who was calm? - You were way calmer.
- Up to the level of, take it easy,
make the best burger you possibly can in 10 minutes.
- I think it's a good time to flip it.
- Okay.
- Next- (torch fire roaring)
- Jesus.
- Come on, mate.
Okay.
- [Jamie] Oh, yes.
- [Mike] Bone marrow onto the burger.
Are you happy with the color of the burger?
- [Karan] Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it?
- [Mike] Yeah.
Cheese on. -[Karan] Little cheese.
- [Mike] Little bowl in there. - Do you have a metal bowl?
Thank you Ben.
Thank you.
- [Ben] Oh, oh, oh.
- [Jamie] Ebber's the runner.
(group oohs)
- Dangerous!
Hot pan. China.
(laughing)
- [Jamie] We didn't like that bowl anyway.
- That's Ben's fault.
That's Ben's fault.
- Is he using anything else from the tray?
- I'm gonna make a little burger sauce.
- [Jamie] Whoa. Burger sauce and the curry sauce.
- What's your recipe for your burger sauce, Karan?
- For this one, normally it'll be the standard.
It'll be ketchup
a little bit of mustard, uh, mayo.
But this one's just mustard
- [Jamie] Burger's coming out.
- Burger will rest there.
- He's resting it!
- Nice. - He's resting it.
- He's resting it.
- [Mike] Time- - [Ben] Kind of a rush.
You're in a time challenge.
- [Mike] Time is ticking.
(shouting)
(opera music begins playing)
- [Jamie and Mike] No!
- [Mike] No!
- [Karan] That's enough.
That's enough for a burger. That's enough for a burger.
Okay.
You wanted the pressure?
- And just like that!
No!
- [Karan] It's all planned. It's all planned.
Is it not?
- [Jamie] Oh god. It's so good!
(laughing)
- Okay, great.
This was all planned.
- Oh, and now the the calm, collected nature has just-
- And we're back in. - completely gone.
- This is it.
This is all the sauce I need.
- [Ben] He's adapted.
He's adapted.
- [Mike] You've got this though, mate.
It's all good.
- Where's that burger?
Did I drop that as well?
No, I didn't. (Jamie laughs)
The burger sauce.
- [Ben] Construction!
- at the bottom.
- [Jamie] So mustard, mayo at the bottom.
- [Mike] I like the idea of the mustard, mayo.
- [Jamie] Yeah.
- He's just so casual.
- [Ben] Just so casual.
- [Mike] He's lost his entire sauce
(laughing)
and he's still so casual.
On, goes the sauce.
- [Jamie] A little goes a long way.
- [Mike] A little does, doesn't it?
- [Ben] Less is more.
- There's a lot of mayo on the floor.
- [Karan] This is exactly the amount.
This beautiful bone marrow, caramelized onions.
- [Mike] It's all that flavor running throughout the burger.
- [Ben] Nice, nice, nice.
- [Mike] Here we go.
Oh wow.
- [Jamie] Yes.
Little bit more sauce to finish it off.
- [Karan] More sauce on the top.
- Get ready for the bell.
Lid's on.
- Ring the bell?
How long? Yeah, let's clean down.
(laughing)
- He's really maximizing the time.
- [Jamie] Burger on the board. Ring the bell!
- Is that the board?
- [Jamie and Ben] Ring the bell. - [Jamie] Ring the bell!
- Let's ring the bell before I drop
the (censored) burger.
- [Jamie] Yeah!
(cheering and clapping)
- There we go.
- [Ben] I'm-
- Burger with all the sauce.
- [Mike] Aw.
- Let's get it into the sexies.
(triumphant jazz music)
(music continues)
- Karan!
(clapping)
Yes!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- We made it.
Right, let's commit sacrilege and cut into it.
- [Mike] I'm excited for this.
Very excited for this.
(jazzy drums and piano)
- Cheers. - [All] Cheers!
- What do you think?
Enough curry sauce? (Karan laughs)
- Oh, give me a moment.
- I got the chili.
- I got, I got some chile too.
- Woo!
- [Karan] It's good, right?
- That is good.
- [Karan] Creeps up on you.
- Creep, it creeps up on you.
- [Mike] Mm.
- But the cur- there is just the right amount
of curry sauce in there.
- You've got the fat, which also gonna help with the chile.
Remember, never drink water.
So you've got all that bone marrow.
You've got the fatty beef
- The creamy mustard mayo...
- Told you. - and the curry sauce.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They are perfect together.
Like perfect together.
It's quite spicy.
I can feel it on my lips.
- I was thinking of putting chilies into the burger,
but then some of them would burn.
So I kind of like the freshness.
- The onions cooked in that bone marrow
just provides such a depth of flavor.
- That is superb.
- That is honestly great.
- It's almost like it's a one pan dish.
Apart from the second pan that we pushed
over the ledge because we didn't need it.
- One pan.
- It could have been a one pan dish. - One floor.
- We've got the curry sauce in there as well.
- Oh, thank you.
One pan, one floor.
That's all that's required.
Wonderful work, mate.
That is delicious.
- That is. - That is delicious.
- Thank you.
- Is there anything you would've changed?
- Um, no, I loved it.
I loved it. I love being here, guys.
I, I keep saying it every time.
Can't wait to come back.
- Well look, I think I can confirm by giving you the eye.
It definitely passes the taste test.
- Thank you!
- A hundred percent. Hundred percent.
- Thank you.
- I can also confirm that you cooked it
in under 10 minutes.
- I know how long. - So it's going on the leaderboard.
- [Mike] He already knows. He timed it.
- Before we put it on the leaderboard,
Do you have a name?
- Of course I have it.
- Not Karan.
Like do you have a name for the burger?
- No! Oh do I? Yeah.
Name for the burger.
- Yeah. What's the burger name?
- I dropped the curry sauce.
- Fantastic.
- You don't even need to bleep that.
- So, your time was eight minutes and 58 seconds.
- Well done. - Well done.
- So that goes on the leaderboard.
A massive thank you, Karan.
