Hey. Welcome to the
channel We Are Sorted. A group of friends in London
looking for amazing things in food that make you go, wow. And amongst constantly
ribbing each other. Now, two of us are chefs
and you wouldn't believe the stuff we have put up with. But everything we do
starts with ideas from you. [MUSIC - JADED, "PANCAKE"] (SINGING) Pancake chick
and I take the cake. I'm gooey in the middle. Baby, let me bake. Well, hello there. My name is Ben and this is Mike. Today, the internet's
favorite couple outside of Barry and Ben, who
are the best of friends, help us review some savory
donuts in Los Angeles. [MUSIC PLAYING] Are you ready for my choice? Yeah, it turns out, they've
sold out of the one that I need. Welcome to LA's
Best Savory Donut. And today, we've been joined
by some of LA's best eaters. But you know that because
we're here in your space. Yeah. Welcome guys. Thank you very much. There's always room at
the desk for you guys. Thank you. Now, you know how this works. Each one of us has gone and
found our favorite savory donut in LA And we're going
to put them to the test. We're going to eat them. We're going to have opinions. We're going to back
our own choices. And we're going to see
if we can find a winner. Oh, we can. I feel like we are going
to bring the winner. You're going to
bring the winner? I'm predicting that. You have no idea. You have no idea what's coming. You've not met James before. You don't know how
he rolls in these. I don't know if you've
heard, but I'm a chef. [LAUGHTER] Well, Mr. Chef, seeing as
you're feeling so confident, do you want to get us started? Yeah. Go for it. Right. Are you ready for my choice? We're in Santa Monica. We're going to Sidecar
Donuts and we're getting an eggs Benedict donut. From what we've done
in the research, it looks absolutely amazing. They get all their
seasonal ingredients. They change up the menu a lot. They do it all in-house. So it's like a
homemade hollandaise sauce infused with basil. It looks really good. [MUSIC PLAYING] They had one left. And we bought that one donut. Thank goodness. Donut, got an iced coffee. Super excited to get
this back to the guys because I really think
I've got a winner here. I know it doesn't
look like much yet. Yeah, it comes in a bag? Oh no. OK. So now-- What is that? It looks like a-- it looks like a burnt fortune
cookie oversized with a one leaf of spinach on it. It looks like someone was
wiping their butt with lettuce. It is an eggs Benedict donut. And the eggs Benedict is
cooked inside the donut. Ew. What-- That's not the reaction
I'm looking for. With the hollandaise and
everything already in there? It's got an amazing
basil hollandaise in it. So it's like really fresh. It's got a poached
egg in it and ham. Is that what's on the top? It's all inside. Is the basil? This is an uphill
battle for me because-- He doesn't like runny eggs. What don't you like? Eggs Benedict. Who gets the basil? Let's divide that up too. We each need a
piece of that basil. This is going so badly. Why is this going so badly? Cheers. Dink it. Dink in, dink it, quadruple
dink it and sink it. That's a good donut. It's soft all the way through,
except for that little tinge of basil. And it makes it-- it freshens it up a little bit. But in a confusing way. Well, as a man who
goes through basically 90% of his entire
life confused, I'm very much at home eating this. I can attest to that. That means you enjoyed it? I did enjoy it. Not as much as I'm sure
I'm going to enjoy ours. But it was good. Let's see if we
enjoy yours more. Bring it out. May we present to you from
Astro Donuts and Fried Chicken, the fried chicken donut BLT. Oh no you didn't. You got it right. There is frickin' fried chicken,
bacon, lettuce, tomato nestled inside of this donut. That is not basil. And there's a hole in the donut. Of course there's--
look at that. And the donut is
specially shaped. It's a rectangular donut. To be rectangular. And it was pressed down
with some sort of grid that looks like graph paper. You remember math. Yup. I don't-- I'm not
acquainted with it anymore, but I do recall it. Might I also add that this was
conceptualized by two childhood friends. We're all childhood friends
around here, are we not? It's got a story behind it. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't bring its story. You've got the
saltiness of the bacon and you've got the crispness
of the fried chicken. And there's a frickin'
donut all around it. Dink it. Dink it. Cheers. And sink it. Oh man. It's juicy. Oh wow. Mm. Man. Donut's got some good
greasiness to it. It's like the fried
chicken is greased into it. Oh yeah, it's really good. Man. I think if that eggs Benedict
donut confused my mouth, this has excited it
more than confused it. It's very fresh. But I kind of want
it to be dirtier. Do you know what I mean? Hot sauce is what I
would say is missing. Uh. That would be a winner. It blends very nicely. And it also is one
of those things that you're like man,
why haven't I thought of that before? Whereas the eggs Benedict
is such a novel thing that you're like oh,
somebody thought of that because it could be done. But this is an idea that
was just waiting to happen. And it happened. And it just happened
in our mouth. I wouldn't necessarily say the
eggs Benedict is a novelty. Well, I mean, you
would hate that if that was a novelty thing, would you? In fact, I'd go as far
as to say it's shabby. I say it's a lot like
edible underwear. You know, it's the kind
of thing that you're like it seems like a good
idea, until you try it. I think you enjoyed
that as much as you would enjoy edible underwear. Speaking of edible
underwear, should we move on to the third donut? Absolutely. We should. [MUSIC PLAYING] For my donut selection,
we've come to Hollywood to Trejo's Coffee and
Donuts made by the man himself, Mexican-American
actor, Danny Trejo. He might have made them
by hand, but you know, he owns the place. They do some amazing donuts. But there's one savory one
in particular that I'm after. Yeah, it turns out they've sold
out of the one that I need. So I've bought a
couple of other ones. Let's see if I can
get along with it. Yeah. Cheers mate. Oh, what do we have here? Two donuts. What we have here is-- Indecisive. What we have here is
not my first choice. So this is from Trejo's
Coffee and Donuts. Are you talking about Danny? We are talking about Danny. These guys are in a coffee
and donut place in Hollywood. We've passed it. That's all we've done. We've passed by it. Big pink building. Yeah. Yeah. They do an amazing nacho donut. Oh, is that what this one is? Nope. On the website, it says
that they keep them in stock all day. What they mean is until
midday when they sell out of the nacho donuts. When they see you coming up. They're like, get
rid of the nachos. The British boy is coming. So what we have here instead
are two savory donut flavors. First of all, we have
bacon with maple syrup. And here, we have chili
and mango and sea salt. That sounds like sweet
donuts with savory elements. Does it? Yeah. So that's an LA
staple that I did not know about until I moved here. Mango. Is that the-- Not mango. But the chili powder covered
mango is sold in many parks. All right. We'll eat both,
but I'm going to go for the mango as my submittal. I think that's a good choice. Yeah. You know what makes it savory? The prison. The prison. Danny Trejo, he went to prison. He got out of prison,
he became a good guy, helping lots of people
through his acting. What's savory about prison? Can you taste the
prison is the question. Yes, I'm cutting
on a plate, chef. What do you want-- what do you mean? You want to use one of these? Don't look at other chefs in the
room and go, oh, look at him. Cutting on a plate. Dink it. That is sweet and hot. That is so savory. I'm searching for a little
bit of savory in this, but-- I mean, to his credit,
the chili powder-- It's very savory, Jimmy. It's savory. OK. Yeah. I mean, it's not
exclusively savory. But it is somewhat savory. It's really good. It is really good. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
the only thing left to do is to guess the price
of each of our donuts so we can discuss
whether we think they were good value for money. OK. James, you went first. Eggs Benedict, you're talking
like for a plate of that. You're talking like $14 bucks. It could be $18 bucks. But in a donut, you're
getting a smaller portion. But you've got the novelty
factor that it's in a donut. Right. So they're still going to
up-charge you a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I'm thinking between
$8.00 and $9.00 dollars. I had $8.00 in my head. OK. So I'm going to say $8.00. I'm going to say $11.00. Whoa. I'm going $8.50. It cost $6.50. $6.50? Yeah. OK. I mean, for a novelty
item such as that. I think that $6.50 is actually
really good value for money. Now, let's all just
stop saying novelty. Because let's be honest, it
was the most delicious donut that we've tried today. Well, if I was
not being honest-- It was the most well balanced
donut that we've had today. And it was $6.50. It was classy. I mean, it expanded my horizons. It doesn't do from my mouth
what mine did for my mouth. You know what mine
did for my mouth. What did it do for your mouth? Everything I wanted it to. Well, the thing is, now I have
to try and work out whether it's a relative cost to James's. Or whether I should just
completely mark it separately. $8.00. I think it's probably $10.00. I don't remember
how much it was. It's only a quarter. It only cost a quarter. Quite a deal. Could we get a fact
check on that please? It's not true. It's $9.75. $9.75. So almost $10.00. But that's a meal. Yeah. It's a meal and you
were in the right place. This is a sandwich
with meat that has been prepared very, very well. And then with more meat. And if you're going
to put this up against other sandwiches
in Los Angeles, it's difficult to get a sandwich
for less than $10 around here. It really is, especially
something that comes together as well as that does. I think $9.75 is
really good actually. Yeah, it's well priced. As I said, $10.00. I can't really argue, can I? No. What about yours? What about mine? It was a great donut
and when I see Danny, I don't want to be
on his bad side. Well, and Trejo, you
know, he makes a big deal about how much things cost. He's in that cable
commercial or whatever it is. DirecTV or what-- I mean, it's all
about the deal, right? Oh, is it? Yeah. So he's not going to be selling
donuts for inflated prices. Plus all that time
he did in prison. $3.50. I think it's cheaper than that. I think it's $2.75. $2.75. So I'm going to go with $3.00. It was $3.00. Yes! So we just won something. I think we should decide. I know you guys like to
be nice and leave it open. But I think we have to agree. We all have to agree,
that's not going to happen. Not going to happen. We can't come to a decision
here in the studio, so we're going to have to leave
it up to you guys at home. At least you tell us which one
you vote for that's not yours. Because you're alone, man. It's clear that there's no
real winner or loser here. Because they were just three
of LA's best savory donuts. OK. Listen, my mind has been changed
on these episodes a few times. But not on this one. My one was definitely
the best donut. It was. It was. I'm also voting for yours. The way that I would like
to experience your donut and my donut is in sequence. I would like to begin my
day with a donut breakfast. And I would like to have the
middle of my day consumed by me consuming-- I like how you are
on Jamie's side and then completely
on the fence. Completely on the fence. But I would definitely not
finish my day with your donut. But what about if there's
a mid-afternoon tingle? If I had to pick my
favorite out of three here, I'd go for the fried chicken. Me too. I've changed my answer
again and therefore-- We win! We win, but you can tell
them they can decide. You can decide at
home which one you think would have been
LA's best savory donut or have we completely
missed the point? And have we missed one of
LA's best savory donuts? I think we probably have. You missed the point. I'm sure they'll let you know. I didn't miss the point. It's absolutely fine. Anyway, guys, thank you very
much for arguing with us. Yeah, the real point is
that we're still friends. We are still friends. I think. Yeah, we have another
donut to split. I was just going to take that
one home because I thought that's more sweet than savory. I wouldn't want to-- I'll trade you a piece
of tomato for it? Done. Thank you. Oh, he did it. Yeah. Darn, I was gutted I didn't
get LA on that occasion. Ben was being the
best man at a wedding. So it's quite a good excuse. Now, how's this for a
like based question? Do you like [INAUDIBLE]? Like the video. That's what I was going to say. I was slightly envious
of the savory donuts. But more envious
of just more time with my two favorite humans. Speaking of the brand new,
redesigned recipe area of our website, which we won. We're just going to
drop this in here because we've been working
super hard over the summer on crafting a new layout
for all of the recipes from the last 10 years. That are still accessible,
perfectly free to all of you on our site. It's amazing because
you can access them via budget, dietary
requirements, even to the type of
video that you enjoy. So it's basically
a really great way of getting access
to everything we've done in the past in a new
way this easily searchable. Some of them will be like a
walk back through memory road. Go and enjoy it and
then join us again here every Wednesday, every
Sunday, for more fridge cam. [INAUDIBLE] As we mentioned, Sorted is
just run by a group of friends. So if you like what
we're doing, then there are loads of ways that
you can support us and get more involved. Everything you need to
know is linked below. Thanks and see
you in a few days. I feel like I've made
it because we just finished filming on the GMM
set with a [INAUDIBLE] link. Me, on the set, what's going on?
