Hey, welcome to Sorted.
We're a group of
mates from London
out to find exceptional
things in food
that actually make a
difference to your life
or just to make you laugh.
Two of us are chefs.
Don't worry, the
rest of us normal
and everything that we do starts
with a suggestion from you lot.
[MUSIC - JADED, "PANCAKE"]
I'm a pancake chick,
but I take the cake.
I'm gooey in the middle,
baby let me bake.
Hello and welcome
to Sorted Food.
This is our fridge cam.
Today is another London's best.
You know how this works.
Three of us, three different
cross points and this time,
a bunch of donuts.
I feel like a donut is a
perfect way to start the day.
Can I get six?
Art.
Lamington.
If you think these look
great, wait until you
see what we've ordered.
Ah.
Creme brulee.
Art.
Flavor and technique.
You can't be [INAUDIBLE].
Art for the color blinds.
The food is amazing.
Why wouldn't we come here?
Oh, hey.
Oh, hey.
Oh, hey.
All right boys, shall
we do an unveiling?
I'm feeling very confident.
Mine is uniquely
different and tasty.
I'm feeling a bit
inferior, but I
think my traditional
donuts might win them over.
Welcome to Shoreditch
where people
think you're weird if you don't
have a beard, even the ladies.
Where 80% of all conversations
include the words,
tapered chinos and Bon Iver.
Where all haircuts start
with a 0.5 on the side.
I know what you're thinking.
This is a skin fade,
it's different.
I've picked the
Dum Dum Donutterie
and assumes us all
the donuts were there,
I knew it had to be mine.
It smells amazing.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So this isn't special treatment
because we're in [INAUDIBLE]..
We had to pre-order my donut.
This is hands down better
than I ever could have planned
and I'll have to explain
to you why later.
Oh yeah.
[INAUDIBLE]
I don't know why there's
a D on the end of it.
That is not a donut.
I really wanted to say,
shut up Ebbors, you donut.
They actually run out of
room and didn't write donut,
they just wrote D. No, it just
says, shut up Ebbors you D.
Yeah.
I think it looks like
a delicious cake.
Oh.
Well, if you're so
confident, why don't you
show us what's in your bag
that's got a pig on it.
It has a pig on it and
in addition to my donuts,
I had the delicious bacon
sandwich this morning.
My place is a place I've been
to a couple of times before.
It's St. John restaurant.
Not only is this
place good for donuts,
it also does the best bacon
sandwich I've ever eaten
and I'm going to see if I
can get Mike to buy me one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Guys, Ben and Jay, this is
going to take some beating.
It's probably the best
traditional donut you can get.
Beat that, Jay.
Now, that is a donut.
Where?
I know for a fact that
size doesn't matter, but--
[LAUGHTER]
Well, look, I know
Jamie's argument here.
Jamie's argument here is this,
this is a traditional donut.
It's filled with vanilla custard
and it's perfectly formed.
It's perfectly sized.
That's what you
want with a donut.
I don't know how you're
going to beat that.
I can definitely beat that.
I've gone for sourdough donuts.
He knows I love a
bit of sourdough.
OK, so I'm also in Shoreditch,
a real foodie hot spot.
It's got things like [INAUDIBLE]
bagels, Indian grocery stores
and restaurants, but more
specifically right now,
one of about six places you can
pick up a Crosstown doughnut
and they are to die for.
Set up by two guys, Adam and JP.
One is a Kiwi.
One's an Aussie.
They worked together.
They founded this in London
and it's kind of unique
because they use a sourdough
dough in their donuts.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, instantly, Ebbors
has taken one up from James.
You just love
novelty, don't you?
You hate food, you love novelty.
That's what I'm
getting from this.
Right.
But one donut, one donut.
You've got to pick
one donut to submit.
Today I'm going
to go for this one
because it is their
special of the day
and it's actually got
jam in the middle, James.
Shut up, shut up
and eat my donut.
It looks more bready
than cakey on the inside.
That's because it's a donut.
Every good cake is
put on a cake board.
Ebbors, if you
don't shut up, I'm
going to punch at least
four of your donuts.
That is not as sweet as I
thought it was going to be.
It is bready.
I'm not getting donut from it.
Just saying.
I'd prefer we make these videos
with people who aren't chefs.
Has it got a hole in the middle?
It's got a hole.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a donut.
Well, that changes everything.
It doesn't.
What you do get is jammy,
creamy, custardy feeling
and golden bits,
which are tasty.
That was great.
Shall we eat a donut?
Right of the bat, that
is light as anything.
OK, well, there's no denying
that that is a good donut.
The crunch and the sugar on the
outside, awesome fluffy middle
and a well filled donut.
They are not shy on the filling.
There is nowhere
to hide with this.
It's just super traditional.
There's nothing
extravagant about it,
but it's just everything
is done really remarkable.
I mean, it's a good donut.
But does it stand out from any
other donut that you've had?
Much like yours,
freshly made every day,
but it's a sourdough dough.
And in particular, we're
going for this one,
which is their daily special.
Black Forest plum
and apple compote.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Great jam.
The dough isn't quite as
good as the St. John one,
but I really love the
filling and the topping.
I'm surprised how different
that is from James's donut.
It's really good though.
And you're right, that glaze
and the jam is amazing.
The glaze is sweet
and that jam is almost
curd with how tart it is.
It's obviously a jam, but
it's quite a tart plum
flavor with a sweet glaze.
I like it.
So let's talk money.
Now I don't want
to shock anyone,
but I've got a feeling mine
might be the most expensive.
So in total, this is 55 pounds.
If you've got enough
people to share it with,
I guess it's not bad, is it?
What about mine?
I'm going to say--
It's artisan.
Oh, you put artisan
in front of it.
Oh, you've just
doubled the price.
I don't know if I really
care about what you think.
I'm going to say if you paid
more than 1.99 for that,
you're an idiot.
My donut was 2
pounds and 50 pence.
Oh.
Well, there you go.
I think it's worth that.
I would pay 2.50 for that.
I might take out
my idiot comment.
On reflection, I think
that maybe that's
the going rate for a
good donut and that's
what I should be
prepared to pay.
OK.
Now, you see why I bought six.
Works out cheaper if you do.
Plus I've got more
friends to share these
with back at the studio.
How much [INAUDIBLE]?
He doesn't have more friends.
If this is 2.50, I reckon
you've got to be topping 3.50.
3.50.
You guys are good at this game.
There's a lot more going on and
they are 3.50 each or 3 pounds
if you buy six.
It's probably good to buy six
because they're 3 pounds each
and I think they're
probably worth 3 pounds.
So did we find
London's best donuts?
I think we found three
of London's best donuts.
I think they're all amazing.
Two strong donuts
and an amazing cake.
Ah, you are such--
Basically, what should
we be looking at next?
London's best-- You decide.
[INAUDIBLE]
That is a controversial donut.

think about Jamie's donut.
