This dude is so awesome, he is like the real life chef from ratoutille but better. He makes everything look so simple and do able to the average person. Love pasta and cooking it for myself now. I still add a little sugar to the sauce hehe
This was Jack's most viewed video. Rest in peace, you were a great man. Thanks for sharing your cooking and transmitting that passion to many chefs in the world.
This hurts me now, it's not the same watching these videos knowing he's gone. He taught me SO MUCH, RIP Daddy Jack and keep singing those blues. God bless your family ‼️
It sucks, we have to die but I accept that reality, and this dude meant so much for a lot of folks, his style of cooking was second to none, Bobby Flay means nothing to me.
These are the kind of places I love to eat at. When the chef doesn’t care how many tablespoons of anything he needs. You just see flames coming out of the kitchen and you smell other orders being cooked with such love. This man was a master. Gone far too soon.
How can you not miss Jack? If you knew him at all you understand. What a wonderful, giving man. Love to watch him cook and eat. Bon appetite -- Mangia bene!
I shit you not I was watching this and saw this comment and laughed a little, and then literally looked at the time on my phone and it was 1 am on the nose lmao
Cooked this 3 times now and eating it as I write this. Holy smokes this is the best pasta I've ever cooked thanks to Jack. Rest in peace poppa Jack! I'll be forever thinking of you when I cook your meals.
@@matenagy9244 don’t add the garlic in the beginning. It was definitely burnt. Add garlic last of the dry ingredients and before the wet ingredients (salsa, lemon juice, wine, marinara). Cook the garlic for only a minute or so.
Daddy Jack will live forever. He has inspired so many cooks(and musicians ) Wishing all the best to his family and kitchen crew. from your fan Eve G. San Raphael , CA.
Good heavens, we all miss you, Jack. This was a veritable blast from the past when it popped up on my "feed". It makes me wanna fire up my electric range and cook this up. You've brought so much knowledge and inspiration to all of us, and your way of putting it together and making it absolutely delicious..........it's why people will be watching your contributions for years and years. Your heart is on your sleeve with every dish and demonstration, and we are all better people for it.
Absolute magic watching this maestro, flavours jump out as they should. I miss him as many others do I'm sure... RIP Jack, you've made a difference to my life (:
You wont believe how many times I rewatched this to cook it for my family... Brings back memories to the first time I watched this video years ago! Miss you, Uncle Jack!
Rest in peace buddy. Your videos were of great comfort to me during some very dark times. I always felt like this was a restaurant I would have visited every day if I could have.
When I feel down and I want to get inspired. I always find myself watching this video! It’s just so authentic and it reminds me of why I love cooking! RIP
I was crushed to hear of his passing. He just had a way in the kitchen. I just love the way he tossed pastas with that long spoon when finishing so many great dishes. We will all see you again some day..
Jack is @ rest but not forgotten. I’m still watching cause he is still teaching me. You are missed & you are still sharing your messages. All the recipes you shared were focused on memories & family traditions. That’s authentic that’s real & that’s why I am not ready to let go yet. Thanks again for all the great times.
Daddy Jack has been a favorite of mine for 2-3 years. I was aware of my affection for his personality and respect for his cooking, but I was NOT prepared for how hard his passing hit me. I'm still surprised at the well of emotion when I watch certain videos, and this one might be the one that gets me the most, other than the last ones made at home with Lakisha, Titus, and Axle. I also love the ones where he speaks so lovingly about his mom, and those where he shares with the people in his life. What other chef on RU-vid gave us this much? Think about it. Most just don't let us in. But Daddy Jack was happy to do it. Not making the trek to New London to meet this man and taste his food will always be a regret of mine. RIP Daddy Jack. You gave SO much more than you had to. THANK YOU.
Jake, I'd like to give you a whole lot of thumbs up for your comment, instead of the one we're allowed. I too was much more deeply affected by his passing than a RU-vid fan probably should have been. But Jack felt like an Uncle, or Cousin that passed suddenly. Shocking and sad. I planned to make the drive up to New London from Long Island last year with my wife for dinner at his restaurant. Covid ended those plans, so I was waiting for him to re-open in 2021. I was checking in with his channel to see if he had re-opened yet. You don't have to imagine what I felt when I arrived at his channel.
My father has heart disease, it's genetic so there isn't anything he can do about it really. He's fit doesn't smoke or drink nor does any drugs but it still progresses the same. Jack might have been able to control his weight but who knows he could have had heart disease too.
The guy is mobidly obese and grotesque, his food is literally death fried mush, i dont think he`s eaten a salad in his lifetime. Wheat makes you fat, difficult to digest, spikes blood, damages heart and lungs. Eat organic spelt pasta, the original italian grain very good for you.
well said. none of his movement is wasted. that bit with him letting it "peel itself" was deceptively simple too, saves some good time. I have a feeling he's done this before. say, don't I know you from somewhere?
There is something so nice about Italian food. My friend has lunch and dinner parties and her cooking is amazing. She knows the favourite dishes of her guests and cooks them accordingly. Just wonderful.
I have just learned of his disappearance with a touch of emotion. I got to know him about two years ago through his videos. His approach to cooking won me over with its authenticity and simplicity, so much so that I immediately subscribed. He will always be present. An anonymous from France.
@@mr.grumpy3683 I hope so too. Watching him cook is a joy. No BS, just the real thing. No filters, no phoniness, just a privileged look inside a kitchen run by an old pro. He was one of the good ones.
Jack, your videos provide comfort in these uncertain times. Thank you for the passion you show for your craft. I'm trying a similar dish tonight with my own tweaks. Salut!

I'm going to miss your innovative twist on the old classics RIP Daddy Jack, thanks for leaving behind your legendary videos you will be greatly missed 😔💔
Welcome back Jack. Have missed ya all, and glad to see ya back with another great recipe. Every darn ingredient in this perfect. Thinking the optional parmesan is still a necessity!!! And yes can’t wait to visit. Soon I’ll be diving into that chicken Marsala among several other meals I look forward too!!!
Should watch his one video where he was cutting raw chicken and then cut the veggies on the same board/knife, then wiped it with the rag he was using for everything.
I'm really sorry to learn about Jack leaving us. Over the years I enjoyed his videos and cooked his recipes to my family's acclaim. A truly great chef who knew how to cook the traditional dishes people actually wanted to eat, and taught us in his own friendly style how we can do it too. God Bless, and give his family strength.
Keep Your chin up David, things will get better, rough times right now! Glad the videos bring you some happiness, Jack Become A Member Of “Cooking With The Blues” patreon.com/cookingwiththeblues
Rest in Peace Jack... We are all better people because of your influence... I was SO hoping to one day meet you in the restaurant.. but that will have to wait till its my turn to pass.. I'll be looking you up to spend some time together in the Celestial Kitchen... In the meantime...Thank you for being you.
I would like to say thank you Jack, I have made a variation of this in the past with red wine, tuna, Kalamata olives and artichokes, but this one with the zest of the lemon, white wine and capers tastes so much better; I love your no frills, "backstreet feel", "old school cooking" with great taste and fresh ingredients always, you have made a difference and I graciously thank you and God bless.
One of the few Americans on YT actually cooking like we do in Italy, bravo! It's all about the quality of the ingredients and the sequence in which you throw them in which varies cooking time and style of each one (the onions, garlic, capers dry fry in the oil then moisture comes in with the next ones and finally everything gets to par-boil with tomatoes water and "mantecatura" with some salty pasta water). Perfect, bravo cosi si cucina in Italia.. 💪💪
You know the chef is garbage when he touches everything with his hands without washing them inbetween. Cross Contamination in that kitchen must be real.
@@sam2k112 as a chef myself, with over 15 years of experience in that business, can tell you that if any kitchen would work like that in germany would be closed down within a week. Hygiene is pretty much 50% of what you learn in your time as an Apprentice.
I made this one for you tonight, big guy. I’ll miss you. It was DELICIOUS. A big hit at home. I’d like to think that after all the millions of people who have watched you and been inspired, now you get to watch us carry in your recipes forever.
Daddy Jack was a breath of fresh air from most cooking youtubers. He managed to get a following by staying completely true to his natural style of cooking. Each recipe he made felt authentic, not necessarily from the cuisine it was derived from, but from how loose Jack's cooking was. Most popular youtubers have better production, but watching Jack's style will end up teaching you more than most other youtube videos. Going along with his genuine recipes, he seemed to be a genuine person who build great relationships in his community and stood up for what is right. I will miss his videos. :( RIP
This guy reminds me of the first chef who gave me a shot...big ol’ dude, old school, rustic, no real authenticity. Just, “Hey, this’ll taste good. To hell with pretentious crap!” 👍🏼👍🏼
To be honest with you as a chef trained French classic. Your pasta looks delicious and I kind of taste it now. Very simple and delicious. You got all my respect
