- [Narrator] Welcome to Sorted.
We're a bunch of mates in London,
looking for exceptional things in the food world
that will help make our, and your lives,
that little bit better.
Between stitching each other up and all the innuendos.
Now be warned, we have two chefs,
but we give them limited airtime,
and we make sure all of our ideas
start with a suggestion from you.
(uplifting music)
- Hey, I'm James, and this is Jamie.
- 36 dishes in 36 hours, having just been dropped in Dubai.
Did we make it?
- We've been invited on a food tour of Dubai
to find some jaw-dropping food.
- This is a lovely weeks long itinerary
filled with 36 different dishes.
- But we're not your average holiday makers
so we're gonna try and get through all 36 dishes
in 36 hours.
- Why? We thought be fun for you to watch.
(uplifting music)
- I'm nervous, I'm excited, I'm angry,
because Jamie's not doing it.
Let's just see how this goes.
Oh no.
No, no, no.
Oh my goodness.
Oh.
- Three, two, one, dive.
(hardcore music)
- Wow, wow.
(laughter)
(harcore music)
- [Narrator] Next up, amazing sliders on the beach,
from a place called Salt.
(uplifting music)
- The cheese has melted just to the right point,
and the meat itself is so succulent.
- Three, two, one.
- It's a really nice thin patty, and when it comes
to burgers, I think you want that thin patty, cos sometimes,
and I know this might sound a little bit odd, but,
if the meat's too thick, I think sometimes it takes away
from the burger but, honestly this is so good.
(uplifting music)
- Aw, 'dy hell, aw.
- [Narrator] After that episode, we headed up the coast to
Jumeirah Beach for much needed coffee, but this was like
no coffee we'd ever had, and the Christmas decorations
at the beach, was also a new experience.
(uplifting music)
- On top of the coffee, they have been so nice to us
they won't let us leave without having their amazing
pistachio cake, it is bright green and it looks, cool.
So you have to pour with your left hand, and serve with
your right, and drink with your right.
Smells very saffrony.
- That is cardamon.
All the way.
- If I hadn't been told this was coffee,
I wouldn't think it was coffee.
- No.
(uplifting music)
- That is creamier than I expected.
- Really?
- Yep.
- [Narrator] Next up, cake.
Vegan paleo; gluten free, dairy free; homemade Nutella
chocolate sheikas.
They were unbelievable.
- Cheers
- How is that vegan, and gluten free and dairy free?
- It's very good
- And everything else that that is.
Next up, poor little James is feeling a bit homesick
so we brought him to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel,
to the Dhow and Anchor, which is a British gastro pub
for a little taste of home.
- I want fish and chips.
- I want yorkshire pudding and beef.
- One of my favourite parts of this trip has been eating
traditional food, but put British food in front of me,
and I'm still going to get excited.
- It's still traditional.
- Especially this.
That is crispy.
(uplifting music)
- For those of you who don't know what yorkshire pudding is,
it is a batter with flour and eggs and milk,
and it's literally just cooked in the oven with beef fat,
and that may not sound amazing, but it is one of
the best things that you will ever eat.
- Seeing as this is a British place, can I ask
if they've got any sour cream.
- Sour cream's not a thing is Britain either.
The batter is so good.
- This is delicious, this is proper.
- [Narrator] With time ticking far too quickly,
we headed to the Trophy Room of the Fairmont Hotel
for the craziest looking dish we'd eat the entire trip.
- 24 carat gold dusted chicken nuggets and fries.
- [James] Straight in mate.
- [Narrator] Straight in.
- [James] Oh.
(laughter)
- You need to try these.
I don't think the gold adds any flavour.
- No, but I wasn't expecting it to and I don't need it to.
(laughter)
- They are gimmicky, but they aren't just a gimmick
'cause they're really crispy, juicy, well seasoned nuggets.
- Next up, chocolate, but we're not just gonna go to a
chocolate shop, we're going to a chocolate factory.
That's right.
- Somebody just went in ahead of us, and me and Jamie
both just smelt the same smell at the same time,
and we had a moment.
That is so good.
- All the chocolate.
- [Narrator] 100% Tanzanian dark, smooth, incredible
chocolate.
- 100% single origin chocolate from Tanzania.
Wow.
- It's almost sour.
(upbeat music)
- Cheers
- To the best chocolate.
- This is poss bracket.
- Next
- [Narrator] And this was the point actual panic set in.
We needed lots of dishes quickly.
However, we managed to not compromise on our location.
Global village is a huge multi-cultural festival park,
serving all sorts of dishes, sectioned into different parts
of the world.
- This is absolutely the to place to tick off,
so many dishes that we've not had before.
I'm gonna get a leaning tower of mozzarella.
(uplifting music)
- That's great.
- Dip it in with some marinara sauce, it's pretty good.
- We found this man standing in the middle of the pavement
with a massive jangly gold teapot.
And he's serving a Syrian drink, which is tamarind juice,
and I think he put some lemon juice in it, but I'm not sure,
we didn't ask.
- Cheers.
It's definitely a new experience.
It's probably like closest to grape juice or something.
I like it.
- I like it too.
- [Narrator] This next bit is really boring, so I just
skipped past it, and aw, it's starting.
- Oh.
Oh my god.
Lick it, lick, lick.
You like it, please, please, oh my god.
Whoah.
Lucky.
- [Narrator] I didn't care for Turkish ice cream.
I was a little bit depressed after the humiliating
ice cream gate, so I'm cheering myself up with a
lobster roll.
- Yourself up? That's not very team.
- Yep, well you can have a bite.
- Can I pimp it?
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
(uplifting music)
- It's really good.
We've actually had a new foodie experience here, and I'm,
- And Jamie got some mozzarella sticks.
- And Jamie bought some deep fried mozzarella.
- We went to the Leaning Tower of Mozzer
- Shhh
- I want to win an under ripe banana.
- Step back boys, step back.
- I'm gonna embarrass myself.
- Ooh you idiot.
(laughter and applause)
- I am so full, but we're still getting dinner, right?
- [Narrator] Global village had massively delivered,
but we still had four dishes to get in just two hours.
Although you'd be forgiven for forgetting that,
after seeing the view at this place.
- It's got 360 degree views of Dubai.
Ooh.
- This is the second tallest hotel in the world.
- That is actually surprisingly mind-blowing.
What's the tallest?
- Oh I dunno.
- This is one of the signature dishes, lamb chuleta.
It's lamb glazed in homemade gochujang, and it's got a
tamerello on top, and it kinda mushes down into a salsa.
- Tamerello is like a, it's a fruit, but it's like a
Latin American fruit, little bit like a tomato.
(latin music)
Uh, wow.
When you put it in your mouth, and you get this incredible
fruity flavour, and then the gochujang smacks you round
the face with spice, and then you're left with the most
incredibly meaty, lamb flavor.
- I love that.
So simple.
- The chef has filled the table with some of their
best dishes, to feed the rest of the crew.
We're sticking with our signature dish, that lamb.
Mind-blowing.
(latin music)
- What is going on?
Why did he insist that you film him doing that?
(latin music)
- Guys, come and join me.
- Bye mate.
- Guys.
(uplifting music)
- We've got to get three dishes in the next half an hour
to make it, so we're heading to the Dubai Mall,
and we're going to split up.
- Panic.
(upbeat music)
(music stops suddenly)
(Upbeat music)
- We found three different camel dishes
that we've never had before.
I'm getting a camel burger.
- So I'm in charge of finding the camel milkshake.
This place is massive and I don't really know where
I'm going.
Camel milkshake, date flavoured, nice and traditional,
I'm done.
- I desperately need to find something.
They're not going to let me get away with this
if I come back empty handed.
- So the two of us have made it to the fountains.
James has got three minutes.
- I mean seriously.
- He's literally cutting it too fine.
- Where is he?
Oh you're kidding.
James, yeah, have you done it?
- Maybe, I'm not sure.
- Well have you got something?
- I've got something.
(uplifting music)
- What is that?
- It's quite novelty.
- What is it?
(laughter)
- The final three.
Boys, camel milkshake, date flavored.
- To me it tastes like the milk is fairly sour,
and they've sweetened it with date.
One for you.
(laughter)
- My goodness.
- One for you.
- Thank you mate.
But I also got, a camel burger.
- Oh well played.
And that is actual camel meat?
- Actual camel meat, from a local camel apparently.
- It tastes like a tasty burger.
I got some camel shaped chocolates.
(laughter)
- Our final cheers of the trip.
- That's a bit sad.
- It is actually, you're right, course.
- [All Three] Cheers.
- Em, it tastes exactly like chocolate.
Good, praline chocolate.
- Yeah.
36 dishes, in 36 hours, and I think that that was one of
the most incredible trips I've ever been on.
- That was unbelievable.
- We've found food that we've never heard of, seen,
or eaten before, and then we've also had food that is
some of the best in the world, all in the same city.
- Yep.
Really, really brilliant experience.
And I did it with you guys.
- Well done everyone.
Aw.
- Aw
- We genuinely had an incredible time.
Fantastic food experiences, things that we've never
eaten before, or even heard of before.
- It was unbelievable, and if you are interested in
doing something similar, go to visitdubai.com.
- Yeah, I think if you spread that itinerary out over a week
like we were supposed to, you could actually have
quite a relaxing holiday, and you could get even better
tans than we've got.
Not you, obviously.
- Not me, no.
Comment below with your favorite dish, 'cause remember,
we're going to recreate it in the studio.
- We're here every Wednesday, every Sunday at 4 PM.
We'll see you soon.
Goodbye.
