Breakfast of Champions (part 2) 

No matter what he makes he acts like its the best thing he's ever tasted.

if you look in the sink before he throws the waffle in you can see the amount of times he tried cause there are like 2 other waffles

@sammyssb The way the red spot works is when the pan is placed on a hot stove the Thermo Spot will heat up changing to a bright solid red. You don’t have to worry about the red spot scraping off either. It’s a part of the non-stick coating applied during production.

The mix is not NEARLY as good as home made pancakes. I figured you, Jack, of all people would think the same.

@Saaaataan glad your trying things. You will love to cook the more you do it.

I always add vanilla to my French toast egg wash. Yumm!

your show rocks i wait every week for an episode to come out.

jack people prefer waffles becuase they prefer their texture. it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. pancakes however just becomes all mushy when you add the maple syrup ... I personally don't like pancakes at all. I try to avoid it lol

@jeremylim123 thanks. I appreciate you noticing my work. It takes a lot of work on my part to sound good and have the food look good.

@TheBlondeDude1 Here is the answer via WikiAnswers: In the UK, flapjacks are made out of sugar butter oats honey etc, and pancakes are batter things that you fry. In the US, the words flapjacks and pancakes are used interchangeably to refer to the same thing. The pancakes may have other ingredients in them, such as oats, honey, etc., but we still call them either pancakes or flapjacks.

@WilliamAdolfsson whip them a little bit more and maybe add milk instead of water to the mixture. Don't knock the bubbles out like I did and that will give them more lift.

I don't think store-bought pancake batter is better than homemade... and with homemade batter you know what's going in them ^^

Excellent!

Lol, your little mini rant about waffles was awesome. At the old diner I worked at we used to have waffles shipped frozen. We put them in the oven for 8 mins each, and people swore they were from an iron.

@howaboutstefanie thanks for your support. I will let everyone know if I get a call. The deadline is July 16th.

@obsidianwing I would love to see a european pancake recipe. I might even do a european breakfast episode.

0:45 top right corner "jakatak69" um ok

When I was on my exchange in the US, my host father made the best French toast. He'd use the apple strudel bread you can get at costco (a quick Google search could get some recipes for it as well). The French toast turned out really sweet and gooey. Definitely recommended for French toast.

YES! FINALLY PART 2 IS HERE

@JustNess78 It was more about tips on cooking french toast and pancakes. When to flip. Why I don't recommend waffles. Air bubbles in the pancakes can be tapped out. I wasn't trying to show you how to make home made french toast. These are just tips I was taught when I was growing up. the hardest thing about pancakes is when to flip. Sorry you felt ripped off. My bad.

@jeremylim123 they only keep up the current day submissions on the gallery. I submitted weeks ago.

@Thill029 I never would have thought of that. Thanks.

@drummerlars yes it is.

@jakatak69 I'm so glad you pointed that out, Jack. Air bubbles = fluffy pancakes! Also, you don't want to overbeat your mixture. It's okay if it doesn't look perfectly smooth. The more you mix it, the tougher the pancakes will be. So, to recap....air bubbles = fluffy pancakes and perfectly smooth batter = tough pancakes. lol

I have this thing where it's like a toati maker + griller + waffel maker. It's like you can change the plates, and it's like unstickable steel or something and you only have to clean the plates.

@mymoogle24 what does that mean? you can't see the food network or you can't comment on their page?

Looks great jack.

Looks great Jack.

I left a comment telling them to please consider you as you have the most deserving show on all of RU-vid. I'll be ecstatic for you if you win Jack! Best of luck!

Hey jack! I've voted for you and also check out the site as well. Honestly only your videos gives a clear view of whatever you are doing than the other 'teams' they mostly used hand-camera while yours is fixed and you have a mini mic attach to you as well . Awesome!

3:45 , lmao wtf? he whisks, taps it on the bowl then puts it back in the mixture. GENIUS!

Me I'm Dutch-Canadian and the way we always did it was to put cinnamon sugar over the french toast when its still hot. Its so much better then syrup. You got to try it.

@BlueBajs it says it on the pancake box and the internet. The recipes are almost identical. Look at the recipes online. American waffles and Pancakes are very similar.

@greenlight2600 mine come out great. Your soaking them too long. Coat the outside but don't drench them bread. Try it again and it will come out nice.

@IamOver18SoHa Chef John is a professional cook. I have fun with food. There is a big difference. You did not offend me. There are many people out there who know more than I do. I hope to learn as I go. Thanks for commenting.

I saw that too, I've also seen people make brownies with it :)

@Trofnat9 does big boss grill do waffles?

@Death929 alot of people have warned me about cooking bison too long. I will be careful. it's the next video I am doing. It will be filmed next week.

hey jack can u do a produce review on the sonic blade its like a knife that can cut smoothly through like hard food or something

There are like 9 pages of comments supporting you on the food network channel. They MUST choose you, you deserve it!

Hey Jack- when I went to the food network channel every comment on the page was for cooking with jack. You should definately win. even if you dont, you still deserve it

If you use seltzer water instead of regular water when making the pancakes they come out lighter and fluffy.

I LOVE UR SHOWS:))

you are good at this....btw.....there is something i always wondered....what is the differenct between flapjacks and pancakes???

I cant find your food network star video thing :( can you please send me the link of your video, or steps to help me view it? I would love to see it, because I think youre videos rock!

fabulous jack :)

@NarutoFreaks77 You guys are really cool for commenting over there. I can't believe how many comments there are. Wow!!!

Hey jack! I can't really find your video submission there, are you sure you made a video under your channel before submitting?

I ran out of room to comment! I also recommend adding a little vanilla extract. (A little goes a very long way). Pancakes and waffles can have fruit (not dehydrated, must be defrosted) of any kind in small slices/cubes. I have added a little bit of cocoa powder and chocolate chips to both pancakes and waffles, obviously not healthy but a nice treat anyways. Other recommends: Apples, banana, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries -- anything that sounds good.

Hey I have a Big Boss Grill and it has interchangeable plates! you should do a review on it for other people

Quick question. When I make my pancakes and cook them. The first side is perfect but when i flip it and cook it the side is not evenly browned.

you got my vote jack! Goodluck! hope you win :)

YES I KNOW THIS IS 4.5 YEARS AGO Waffles are so much easier, if you get a good waffle maker. I love my Wafflebaker from Black and Decker. And you say it only does waffles? Well what about scrambled eggs in the shape of waffles? Make the eggs, then the waffles, and then OH YEAH THE BACON IN A WAFFLE MAKER. But hey, that's cool. You can continue to live your flat one-dimensional life. I'm going to have my waffles here in 3D land.

i was surprised when you put syrup on the french toast i make it more of a savoury breakfast quite alot of pepper and it is very tasty i will have to try your way with some cinnamon

Another option with french toast. Make like you usually do but add a slice of cheese and then top with the other piece of french toast.

@jakatak69 The Big Boss Grill has a waffle iron, a griddle, grill ,omelette maker, doughnut maker, and a sandwich maker. You can pop in every plate and pop out.It Makes Waffles really well. I love them. It also comes with all theses recipes. :)

My dad gave me his French toast recipe when I was about 8. He does eggs and milk with a little vanilla and some cinnamon. Until today I had no idea you could do it without milk! So now I can have French toast tomorrow without having to go to the store to get milk! Yay!

Tip : when you see the bubbles in center check it then flip it works fine with me all the time

Look how much your putting on there!!! LOL great episode! Also, I heard somewhere that leaving the bread your about to use, out for a day to let it get stale. supposed to make it better for french toast. No idea if thats true though LOL

You can make your own buttermilk. Just take say 1 cup of milk and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes. Half a cup would be half a tablespoon and so on and so on.

Just saying, most waffle irons also do pressed sandwiches and whatnot, they're a good value if you like to make grilled cheese or hot ham and cheese a lot.

when you threw the waffle, it reminded me of vince the slapchop guy when he threw the fake slapchop in the sink LOL

Nice

Lol I love how you use the sink as trash :3

NIce vid jack, i like adding vanilla nutmeg and cinnamon to my french toast, and if you want a really nice tasting french toast batter, add some Gran Marnier as well keep it up :)

Hey Jack, great recipes! Here in England we call you're french toast 'eggy bread', it's clear how lazy and simple our recipes are to yours, haha. And we wouldn't even think to put maple syrup on our eggy bread, good idea though!

My French toast recipe: 1/4 cup flour 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 Tablespoon sugar This recipe makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, my whole family loves when I make them! I hope you try this sometime, thank me later! :-)

@jakatak69 I think BlueBajs is saying that just because the recipes are similar doesn't make them the same. It's in the way the batter is cooked that yields a different product. You wouldn't say spongecake and pound cake are completely the same because they are made with the exact same ingredients would you?

you can also use the waffle iron to heat and crisp up sandwiches

@Zylstra555 this is some great info. Thank you.

JACK!!! i was watching your steak video and i notices that you said you were doing a battle of the t.v. dinners

@superrtubes NO! YOU AIN'T GOT NO PANCAKES. LOL I love that clip.

waffle irons are good for grilling samwichs if you don't mind waffle shaped samwichs

Do the center of your French toast, come out wet and soggy? Mines always comes out like that, and it's gross, it tastes nothing like the ones I get at a local Restaurant, and I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong?

you know that dry food has different measurements than liquids so next time you should use measuring spoons or measuring cups or the little scooper things like the teaspoon and tablespoon or the 1/4 of a cup things

I've never tried maple syrup on French toast before, I might give it a try next time!

@greenfated I am totally blown away over all the great comments. Now I'm kinda of nervous that the WILL call me. LOL

Mmm, desert chocolate 'waffles' made from brownie batter. That would go awesome with some ice cream.

Dang that's a clean stove :-)

LOOK HOW MUCH HE'S PUTTING ON THERE! lol jokeing.. nice again jack looks amazing that french toast

@MooseOfReason the first side was about 3 minutes. The second side was about 2 minutes because it cooks faster. It depends on the flame size. Try peeking under and seeing if it's ready.

The pancake 'recipe' was a little self-explaining. Though I'm definitely gonna give the toast a try.

I have made homemade pancakes from scratch and honestly they are not as good as Hungry Jack/Bisquik etc premade mixes. Homemade ones are fluffier, thicker, and much more flavorful, even if they take a bit more time. Other than that, I love the breakfast of champions vids you've been doing. Keep it up!

@masterbrown2002 the honest truth was they were all frost burnt and nasty looking from my freezer. There was only one worth showing on camera. They rest I tossed in the sink. That's my trash during filming. Then I clean it out and toss it outside. It works for me. LOL

lol you're french toast is totally different from how im use too... you should use a flat griddle, you can fit 4-8 pieces of french toast on it(: (less egg, more milk and cinnamon, and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon too, trust me, its awesome;)

The new Guy Fietti! LOL You would do great with Diners Drive Ins and Dives!

@jakatak69 hey jack i cant find your video under the gallery for contestant videos

Waffles are very easy to make. Never get a new waffle iron if you don't have the money to spend! Go to the thrift store and pick one out. Make sure it is nonstick, and that the griddle can detatch from the unit for easy cleaning. Always use lubricant (butter, spray, both..) .. why would you add sugar to the waffle mix? I highly recommend Krustez Pancake Mix. Pancake batter should be slightly lumpy, now completely stirred. As the pancake begins to stop developing bubbles, it's time to peak.

If you add a tsp of vanilla it gives it more flavor

Hope you win!!

@i8mud4you unfortunately you don't get to keep them all hot unless you microwave the bacon and hashbrowns right before putting the eggs on the plate with the toast. That works. I must have my eggs warm. Everything else I don't care.

jack what did u do with all that food?

I put 12X the maple syrup on my french toast lol awsome i never used cinnimin b4 wow its awsome thanks for the tip! And you gotta check the foodchannel page lol its overflowing with comments about your show!

The peek method, the slide method 😂😂😂😂 dude thinking he out here creating unknown techniques

Too late now, but try scrapple. Philly favorite. Or pork roll

I like to add some butter onto my french toast or pancakes along with the syrup. My question is, where's the meat? 😅

dude i think you are a great cook and give great advice and i totally believe that you should have a show however chef john i feel is slightly more experienced no offence you are still amazing and i have much respect for you

Hey Jack, you can do hash browns in a waffle iron too

dude rock that maple syrup! i love my food SWIMMING in it!

For show purposes - best excuse ever.
