Welcome one and all to Fridge Cam.
We are SORTEDfood, and today this happens.
Oh!
Now, last time we did one of these step
up to the plates, Mr. Gordon Ramsey retweeted--
Chef Gordon.
Chef Gordon Ramsey tweeted us.
So the bar's been set.
Was it polite, though?
Nope.
No.
One of two trained chefs and one of three normal guys
will be picked at random to work together
to create an attention-grabbing, head-turning dish.
There will be prerequisites, time limits.
One minute remaining.
Mystery ingredients all tied together
by a shameless internetty challenge.
But who will it be today?
Well, you're nearest it, you pick it.
You pick it.
The normal is Mike.
You're in, boy.
I'm actually going to do one.
Pick a chef.
Have you won or lost?
It's debatable.
Ebbers, it's me and you!
[CHEERING]
Meal time, we got dinner.
Yes!
I'll go for dinner.
Is it sweet or savory?
Is it normal course dinner or is it dessert?
Pretty much.
Yes, mate.
Yes.
Get in.
This is going to be good.
And now it's time for the boys to crowbar the format name in
as if it were the 90s.
Shall we?
Let's balance.
Step up.
It's like the Siamese lift.
Three, two, one.
I'm using a knee.
There we go.
You ready?
Shall I read this?
A savory dinner for whom?
I'm actually quite nervous.
Hashtag sing for your supper.
Today you must create a dish for Tony award winning
Late Late Show host James Corden.
Take into consideration all of his roles
he has starred in to help you craft the personalized dish.
Create a video that sells the dish to James Corden using
the art of theater and song.
I'm great backstage.
As your ultimate goal is to receive an invite
onto his show.
[SHOUTING]
I mean, I'm all for New Year's resolutions,
that is ridiculous.
Are you having a laugh?
Do you know who we are?
Should we hashtag sing for your supper?
Yeah.
As usual, the chaps have access to the effervescent sorted food
larder containing some of the globe's
most exotic ingredients, such as brown bread.
Savory dinner, James Corden.
The best thing that I've seen that he was in
was One Man, Two Guvnors.
Yep.
That was amazing.
I like the idea of doing one thing that plays
off two, if it makes sense.
Right.
It's like a big fusion thing.
This is all I've got.
Cordon bleu.
Something Cordon bleu.
I like that.
I like the fact there's lots of ingredients here
that could be Into the Woods.
Nice.
He's a West Ham fan, east end of London.
That's nearly ham.
That's where proper pies come from.
So let's do a pie that's got a Cordon bleu cheese
sauce over the top.
So it's trying to be two things.
Yep.
I'm not confident.
No.
I could run and get some chicken or some veal
so that we could do a Cordon bleu.
We could do a Cordon bleu.
There's also a pie.
We could be Cordon bleu.
In pastry.
Wellington.
If you were to get a couple of chicken breasts,
we have the blue cheese, we can fry up some bacon,
do like a bacon and blue cheese thing
that we can then pane Kiev style so it's like Cordon bleu.
Yep.
Wellington.
Does it need the pastry?
I don't know.
We need a time limit, what's our time limit?
You have half an hour.
[LAUGHTER]
You have an hour.
One hour?
Starting in three two one.
See you, mate.
I lost my wallet last week so you'll have to pay for it.
[THUD]
[LAUGHTER]
Ha ha, I left that there.
Ben, you're going to have to go for me.
I think I broke my kneecap.
While Mike's out, I'm going to tackle some of the root
vegetables that we can decide what
and how we're going to serve with.
Got some parsnip, some beetroot, some mushrooms, some thyme.
These are all things that we can kind of roast off.
And I'm also going to make the filling, gonna cook the bacon
and mix it into a cream cheese, blue cheesy kind of sauce.
I've been reliably informed that he is a West Ham supporter.
Yeah.
We have a ham in the form of pancetta going on.
Smart.
And therefore, what about if we make it the colors of the team
kit?
Claret blue?
If you say so.
OK, so your claret blue, Corden claret bleu.
Whilst I wait for Mike, I'm thinking,
what else can I do to get ahead?
We'll get the pane station ready that's
flour, egg, and breadcrumb and we'll prep our sprouts.
Oh!
Mike's back!
Or it's an Amazon delivery for Mike for a shoot last week.
Now, bear with me, this ham is from West Hamstead,
so it's ham from West Ham.
We could use it?
Got some chicken.
And I've got some puff pastry.
Now you're back, Mike, of your hour left,
you have 40 minutes, four zero.
That was not 20 minutes.
I know exactly when I left and that wasn't 20 minutes ago,
you friggin liar.
That was an 11 minutes ago I left.
What I like you so you've come back with big breasts,
and that's what we want because we
want to make a nice pocket inside for chicken Kiev.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
James Corden is famous for Carpool Karaoke,
hosting the Late Late Show, a UK sitcom
called Gavin and Stacey which was absolutely
massive and brilliant.
He's a big West Ham United fan.
He was also in the History Boys film.
He hosts a sports show comedy panel
show called A League of Their Own,
which is absolutely amazing.
He was in One Man, Two Guvnors, the theatre show in the UK,
which was also amazing.
He's friends with Harry Styles.
You can see we're getting a bit dubious here.
And he was in Into the Woods.
Now they're just the things that are on the top of our heads,
but I think we've got enough to link this dish to that,
including a horrible pun using his name so I think we're set.
It's one dish but from two inspirations,
because Cordon bleu is traditionally pork or veal,
we're using chicken, which is a bit like chicken Kiev-- it's
Cordon bleu and chicken Kiev in one.
One dish, two inspirations.
The claret and blue is we're making a claret beetroot mash.
So this, believe it or not, is an actual picture of our dish.
And if it looks like that, then we
are not going to get noticed.
What's the mash gonna look like?
Have you got a red pen?
Yes.
It all seems very, very calm here.
You do have just 15 minutes left.
Mike, have you cooked anything yet?
No, I haven't touched a thing.
But you deceit what you're making, went to the shop,
came back, and now you're making something different.
Right.
I'm going to get a picture of West Ham's home kit up, Ben.
Other UK-based betting services are available.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Smash those.
So we roasted off some beetroot with thyme, olive oil, salt
and pepper.
We've blended it up with cream and this is going
to give us our claret color.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What is that?
What are you doing?
I know that is.
We should probably explain what is in that bottle.
Spirulina.
It's a blue thing.
It's a blue algae.
So this is a great little food substance
that you get put a lot of smoothies, ice creams.
It's not very good with heat because kind of changes,
but we can start to get something
that's a bit more claret-y.
OK.
Rather than pink.
So I'm going to make a cheese sauce because melted cheese
looks great, doesn't it?
Oil.
Flour into butter.
I still don't know if Mike knows what they're making.
There are six minutes left.
I dribbled.
Sorry.
I see Mike's little bum from the back.
Yeah, it's a nice little bum wiggle.
If I was to say two minutes.
Then I'm just going to add some cream and season our mash
and we will be super close.
Right, Ebbers, have you got a plan?
So I'm gonna do a side of veg.
Seasonal side, Into the Woods.
Legend, I like that.
You really want to get Into the Woods in, don't you?
It's a great film.
Is that because it's the only reference you know?
No, One Man, Two Guvnors I've seen.
Into the Woods I've seen.
Gavin and Stacy I've seen.
I'm not going to lie, I haven't seen him play at West Ham.
He's not a footballer.
[LAUGHTER]
One minute remaining.
Throw your cheese in your sauce, Mike.
Let's not that's use that.
Nice.
I mean, that is like--
I rushed it.
You did rush it.
[LAUGHTER]
Did you use the extra stretchy flour?
What a weird taste.
Like-- that is mean.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Step away.
Down from the plate.
Cordon carrot bleu.
No, claret and blue.
Yeah, Cordon--
You said carrot and bleu.
No.
No carrot anywhere near it.
Parsnips, white carrots.
That looks fantastic.
We made it.
Well, you made it you've done a great job.
I feel like I've stepped up to the plate.
I feel like it's your turn to step up to the plate
and attract his attention.
I might need some help.
[APPLAUSE]
Corden claret and bleu with ham West Ham vegetable
feel like you're going into the woods.
You've been clutching at straws in this one.
You still don't know what you've made and I really like it.
Well, I do know it's going to delicious.
So dig in.
So James, if you don't invite us over
to LA to taste this yourself, then we're
gonna tell you what it tastes like right now.
My kind of chicken.
[INAUDIBLE]
Crispy.
Well, we had to get the blue in there somewhere, didn't we?
That is beautiful.
That is so good.
Did you make a dish for James Corden just for yourself, Mike?
No, because I didn't make any of this dish.
Get in some veg.
There's some mushrooms, sometimes hammy sprouts.
We just forked each other.
We intertwined.
You go.
I'm not a bleu cheese fan, but that's delicious.
If we can't get it to James Corden,
we're gonna need your help to attract his attention.
If you're sat in the fast lane in LA, therefore, in traffic,
and see him go by in the carpool lane,
then don't forget to shout out and tell
him to watch this video.
Hello, Harry Styles.
We know you watch.
Could you pass this on to James, please?
If you're a lesbian vampire just before James kills you,
just mention this video to him.
Or just cook the dish for yourself at home,
it's delicious.
I hope we do get on the Late Late Show.
It's quite a punt, isn't it?
It is.
Now our first club that has already gone out
and if you missed it, then you're missing out.
Make sure you don't miss the second one,
it's got loads of stuff about all the book
stuff that's happening and some behind-the-scenes stuff too.
Sign up in the link downstairs.
Now our next, when it comes out, is going to be made personal.
We've been asked this for ages and we're bringing it back
in a much more casual form and something
that we can do more regularly.
And up first is our mate James.
James Alistair Curry?
No.
Yeah.
That one.
I forgot.
I was like, Alistair?
Who's Alistair?
Yeah, him.
Thank you very much watching.
