Hello, I just watched your husband’s video of his potato soup, I just thought what a lovely person and I love the way He. cooked and talked and then I read the comments and they said that he had passed I am so very very sorry but I’m gonna watch more of his videos much love Christine New Zealand originally from Wales
He was and still is a master chef without any pretensions and an immense likability and honesty. His life seemed so filled with a loving extended family and many loyal friends. What a personality! I love the wooden spoon joke with his Mom. I also got hit by my Italian mother many times for sticking pieces of Italian bread in her tomato gravy every Sunday morning with a hangover from all the partying I did on Saturday nights! Miss you Jack! ❤️
At least we can still see him over and over and cherish the good times. I hope the restaurant is re-opened. Maybe we all move to New London and buy the place and call it “Cooking with the Blues” and have the town change Banks Street to “Daddy Jack Way”! Serious!
I still love coming back to Jack's videos for reference. His legacy and recipes live on in my kitchen and I never hesitate to tell my wife and kids about how "this dish came from Daddy Jack, God rest his soul". he had an awesome way of cooking that both inspired me and made me feel less stressed cooking as a performance. Do what you love and love doing it. When you do; guess what, everybody's happy!
You and me both Joe! I miss Jack and I hope his daughters are doing well 😊 -His videos always make me feel happy and I’ve learned so many cooking tips and recipes from him. Cheers
@@veronicamamiful What does that have to do with my statement. You can feed people but still be a dirty chef who is cross contaminating. Go look at any of the comments on his videos or the reviews for his restaurant(s). People were getting sick there.
Chef Jack Kaplan I'm only 50 years old I love to cook brother you do the same to you been cooking for many years it brings family around it brings a regular people around that are customers and it makes peace for everybody God bless you brother you remind me of Tom Douglas here in Seattle I don't live in Seattle but I listen to Tom Douglas every Saturday on 97.3 KIRO Radio at 4 p.m. West Coast time peace brother you know how to cook
Jack, I worked in restaurants from Nebraska to California since I was 13, I’m 59 now. The best Chefs I ever worked with could have been your brothers, The best ones were down to earth, smart as a whip, took no shit from anyone and had a heart of gold. They just wanted to make the best food possible and keep the people coming back. Your a real gem Brother!!
Thank You Peter, It's a hard business, I try to treat as I want to be treated. I've learned not to burn a bridge if at all possible. Sometimes we are forced to cut someone loose to make room for a better member of out team. Nice that you got to see the country and I bet you have some good recipes to share. Send a few this way if you could. All The Best, Jack
I watch these videos just to watch Jack work. What I would like to see is Jack working in the kitchen on a busy night. I suggest that he just set the camera up and let it roll. Can you imagine how many plates he puts out from that one stove? It doesn't look like more than two people at most could work at the same time in that small kitchen area. I looked on line at the menu and it is pretty extensive. Keep up the good work.
A smile came on my face when the all powerful RUclips algorithm had this video on my feed. Daddy Jack was and still is an inspiration to all that want to try to make a decent meal at home. A tear was shed for that man when I heard he passed. The great thing is. People still come and comment on his videos. Shows how his warmth came out of the video and made you feel great. Miss you Daddy Jack :)
Perfect timing with the recipe Jack, as my team here is learning vichyssoise today! And on another matter, thank you to the American firefighters who came to Australia to help, unfortunately 3 of your guys lost their lives fighting the fires last fortnight, condolences and love & best wishes to their families and mates from all of Australia, and as Jack says, "peace!".
Hi James, are you an instructor or chef in Australia? Great that you're teaching the classics! All The Best To You and Australia. Our firefighters are heroes, Thanks and Peace, Jack
Bei einem Waldbrand in der Lüneburger Heide verloren wir Ende der 1970'er sehr viele Feuerwehrmänner, FFW, Orden lehnten die Feuerwehrmänner geschlossen ab, besserer Ausrüstung forderten sie. Danach ging es Bergauf. Die Fotos in den Zeitungen von den verbrannten Feuerwehrmännern lösten auch einen Schreck in der Bevölkerung aus. Ich trat mit meinen Jugendfreunden der Jugend - Feuerwehr bei.
Watched him from day one and based my type of cooking from him. I learned so much from this man and absorbed every video. Gone but not forgotten . Semper Fi
I know that from the comments that you were loved by many Jack. We all miss you - you gave me inspiration to be creative with my cooking . You even took the time to answer several comments I left on your channel . RIP Daddy Jack .
I don't understand how I have only just now come across this channel but wow, this is so wholesome and genuine, I love your style. Keep up the fantastic work.
Jack was a very talented chef who had a knack for putting dishes together from scratch. I've tried his recipes and the dishes always turn out excellent 👏 RIP brother
Cold day here in Michigan and I just happened to have all the ingredients (including green onions :) ) It's simmering away and smells heavenly. You put this together just in time for some winter comfort. Love your videos, and thanks!
Awesome. I'm a cook and I also like leave potatoe peel on the potato for a soup like this. I'm the king of soup and chowders. I'm starting my own food truck because my soup is so good. Thanks for share. Sad this guys passed away I like watch his cooking. I will make this very soup in his memory
This popped up on my recommendations. I haven't watched a Daddy Jack video in probably a year or more. What a nice surprise this was and really takes me back to when I used to watch him and try and replicate the recipes. I've never met Jack but he sure is missed from afar.
What you see Jack cooking with is the original Yukon Gold potato (hybrid of russet potato). The variety sold in most produce markets is a hybrid of the white rose potato. The original is by far better quality and taste but plants produce smaller crops. I was a produce merchandiser for 34 years.
Hey man. I just wanna say, you have a great spirit. And on a separate note i looooove to cook. It's a very selfish passion. Your show. Is RAW. Raw as can be. And to see real time - the beauty of cooking - is priceless. Thank you, Chef. Thank You.
I appreciate that Chef 89, I cook like I like to eat and hope that most others enjoy it, some don't. Keep your chin up through all this, it will pass! JackBecome A Member of “Cooking With The Blues” www.patreon.com/CookingWithTheBlues?fan_landing=true
@@rollydoucet8909 Seems like a wonderful man. You can almost taste the love in his cooking just watching the video. Made this soup today and the whole family loved it.
Yeah, especially for a quick blended soup like this it's nice to see the quick and efficient "rough chop" technique. A lot of chefs on RUclips seem to make a point of fine dicing everything regardless of the recipe.
I just came across this video because I really enjoy cooking, this soup looks really good and then reading the comments I see this gentleman must have passed away, I'm not sure how long ago it was but I'm so sorry to hear and see this he looks like he was quite the gentleman
Best to You Serge, I have a Dr.Crispino, maybe a relation to you? Hope things are well, best to You and All in Australia, I know it"s been a hard year! Jack
@@CookingWithTheBlues - Hi Jack !! How interesting that your doctor has the same surname as mine. My great grandfather Saverio Crispino spent many years in Connecticut in the early 1900's travelling to and fro from Italy for years at a time. I have been told some interesting tales of his travels. I have done some research some time ago and there certainly are Crispino's in your area. I can fully appreciate how my great grandfather would have felt at ease and comfortable with the way of life and the nature of the people in your neck of the woods. Please do tell your doctor that you have a # 1 RUclips fan in Australia !! All good down under after the fire crisis luckily no where near us but for those effected the clean up and rebuild is now well underway. Many thanks for your kind comment on mine.

He's 100% correct regarding the therapeutic value of cooking ❗ I'm a fifty one year old male with severe anxiety/ panic attacks and when I start cooking it melts away. My only regret is that I didn't discover this modality a couple of decades ago while I was heavily medicated. Currently I'm drug free, thank God. (prescription and non prescription)
Yummy. I like the chunkiness of the soup the way it is. If it is too emulsified, it becomes too perfect . Texture is important and I stand by the chef letting the skins on too. Just discovered this channel three weeks ago and being a dilettante when it comes to cooking I got very excited about my discovery just to find out that Jack is not with us anymore ... RIP
Man I miss watching Jack in action!! I can’t imagine how hard it is for his family and friends. I never met him in person but he felt like a friend and I could tell by the way he treated his cameo customers he was well liked and a super good guy!! RIP Jack! Watching reruns will keep him alive forever in my kitchen and prayers.
@@nintendude1988 wtf are you talking about? You think he just quit and then had his daughters make a fake video about his passing? And you’re a massive idiot for commenting the same stupid 💩 under everyone’s posts below.
I love the way he chops, every other chef slices paper thin with millimeter accuracy, but old Jack here just hammers them to lotsa pieces without any sweat or effort like its nothing.💪 Almost like whatever food he cuts just gives up underneath and voluntarily falls apart
Had to laugh over the mom's whack with the wooden spoon, have a chip in my elbow from that. 💘 Love a good 👍 potato soup, and being Irish we always leave the skins on our spud's. Another fantastic job Chef.
I keep coming back to Jack's down and dirty restaurant style cooking. This guy was amazing! No frills amd no secrets, just gettin it done. Rip Chef Jack. I have learned a lot from you.
@@shameblamenamegameNo. All I know is this side of eternity is finite. Bible says there will food in heaven. He is showing us a bit of eternity on this side. Thats all. Thanks again Mr Daddy Jack.
@Jeff Webb That's correct and a lucid comment. However, I had a friend die recently of cancer, and he was on a health based diet all his short life. One of his regrets was that he missed out on one of life's great pleasures, indulgence. He said, I've eaten my last kale salad. The point in this video is that the nutrients in the potato are in the skin. So, if you do eat them, leave the skin on. Most foods that are delishious and rich are not optimum in weight management. But, what's life without pecan pie, ice cream and chocolate?
Jack first off I really appreciate the time you take to do these, thank you. I was wondering with all the great seafood you guys have out there have you ever considered doing a bouillabaisse type seafood soup? Thanks, George From Cleveland OH
I was thinking recently I just made this soup with leeks and italian sausage, and here it is again. Sorry to hear Jack isn't around, I first tuned in a few years back and this morning he popped on my screen. I'm glad he did

(edit ) No green onions? Gotta have some green onion! And throw some cheese in there too with a nice slice of sourdough on the side to clean the bowl.
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags I mean I've been cooking for like 6 years im 25 now..I don't have to post videos.... I love this dude... Just don't understand the shock, maybe cause I'm so used to it... Love u
I LOVED watching this man cook! That's why I come back,, he was THE best!! I made this soup and l WILL make it again and again,!! Try it folks you wont be disappointed! And like he said its EASY to make! :)
I worked in a restaurant for several years that served some exceptionally well prepared seasoned meals. Several things here remind me of when I cooked/worked in that kitchen. Thanks for sharing your skills and recipes and for me-bringing back some great memories.
my mom made the same type of soup (Depression Potato Soup) almost the same...she didn't use fennel (we didn't have fresh herbs when I was a kid a million years ago)...but she did add in bits of bacon (not fried, she'd boil it in the soup) and she'd just use water and a dash (or two) of milk depending on if we had it in the house or not...oh and LOTS of pepper. no blender either (we didn't own one)... I loved it and still make it at home.
Glad you like the videos ToJo, anything that takes us back to Mom's cooking is great! Keep Well, Jack Become a Member Of "Cooking With The Blues" www.patreon.com/CookingWithTheBlues
This video reminds me of a time we were at his restaurant on a warm summer evening. It was just before closing time when two men (clearly drunk) came in. They were rude, cocky and whiny. They insisted on something to eat and when they saw that Jack was making soup, they kept asking for a bowl of soup. At one point Chef Jack got fed up with it and said that they would get a bowl of soup, but only if they sat down and kept quiet for a while. Jack went to the toilet to take off his underpants that he had been wearing all day. And together with some of the soup already made, he drew a broth from his underpants. The gentlemen (unaware of the extra ingredient) clearly enjoyed it. And so did we watching them! How we miss this man! RIP LEGEND.
I have been looking for a potato soup recipe for my wife and I'm sure I have found it now! Thank you for taking the time to teach us your delicious recipes!!
Rest in peace, my friend. The Lord has a great addition to his kitchen. You are sorely missed. God bless. Respect, and salute.

Good grief, you want to put him to work when he passes through the pearly gates! Give the guy some well deserved rest. :)
@@shameblamenamegameNo. All I know is this side of eternity is finite. Bible says there will food in heaven. He is showing us a bit of eternity on this side. Thats all. Thanks again Mr Daddy Jack.
I will always miss chef Jack ,but am blessed with his heritage of technique and easy recipes. It makes cooking fun! Miss you!
Only folks that dont know about vitamins and minerals peal their spuds. You leave them skins on Jack. God Bless
The skins on Yukon Golds are so thin there is no point in peeling them.
@Phil Fry salads are 95% water. The most overrated crap in the world.
@@noname-lk5ys allergic to the skins but not the potatoes huh?😂😂
@Jeff Webb That's correct and a lucid comment. However, I had a friend die recently of cancer, and he was on a health based diet all his short life. One of his regrets was that he missed out on one of life's great pleasures, indulgence. He said, I've eaten my last kale salad. The point in this video is that the nutrients in the potato are in the skin. So, if you do eat them, leave the skin on. Most foods that are delishious and rich are not optimum in weight management. But, what's life without pecan pie, ice cream and chocolate?
@@jabom99 Sure, if all you eat is iceberg and cucumber.
I only peel Potatos if I'm making Mashed/Creamed Potatos. Potato skins have flavor and nutrients.
lol I'm Italian. My mother broke so many wooden spoons on my body when I was young hahaha!!!
Freeze dried chives go great for color mixed in and on top for garnish.
Jack first off I really appreciate the time you take to do these, thank you. I was wondering with all the great seafood you guys have out there have you ever considered doing a bouillabaisse type seafood soup? Thanks, George From Cleveland OH
Phat Daddy Jack is an absolute legend
Watching you cook is so therapeutic. Thx
The skins have all the nutrients. I always leave the skins on the potatoes.
I love the fact that you keep a generally clean kitchen.
I am going to try your recipes in the future. Looks good!
Now i want soup .... 🤪 looks delishhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Jack for your passion and instructive videos. I learn a lot from you and wish you continued success.
No green onions, that’s sin in south Louisiana lol 😂
I was thinking recently I just made this soup with leeks and italian sausage, and here it is again. Sorry to hear Jack isn't around, I first tuned in a few years back and this morning he popped on my screen. I'm glad he did
If anyone is posting in the comments about you not peeling the potatoes they just don’t understand. Don’t worry chef!
This is awesome, I love the videos it's the only one I love to watch and learn some new recipes
Appreciate that William. Thank you for watching the channel.

Hells yeah Yukon gold with the skins on! Always makes me feel good when it turns out I'm using the same ingredients as this man. And thanks for turning me on to Fennel, Chef. Peace!
(edit ) No green onions? Gotta have some green onion! And throw some cheese in there too with a nice slice of sourdough on the side to clean the bowl.
Use it sparingly
Buttered Warm Sourdough Horseman! Fennel is the bomb, good any which way! Jack
This came up in my view list today. Thank you. Merry Christmas. God Bless and stay safe.
I love how he uses the pan as a spoon with no effort at all
... and when he uses the spon the move the pans , on the stove....
Pretty regular stuff going on here....
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags I mean I've been cooking for like 6 years im 25 now..I don't have to post videos.... I love this dude... Just don't understand the shock, maybe cause I'm so used to it... Love u
I LOVED watching this man cook! That's why I come back,, he was THE best!! I made this soup and l WILL make it again and again,!! Try it folks you wont be disappointed! And like he said its EASY to make! :)
I worked in a restaurant for several years that served some exceptionally well prepared seasoned meals. Several things here remind me of when I cooked/worked in that kitchen. Thanks for sharing your skills and recipes and for me-bringing back some great memories.
So much beauty in simply cooking a meal . Simple .
my mom made the same type of soup (Depression Potato Soup) almost the same...she didn't use fennel (we didn't have fresh herbs when I was a kid a million years ago)...but she did add in bits of bacon (not fried, she'd boil it in the soup) and she'd just use water and a dash (or two) of milk depending on if we had it in the house or not...oh and LOTS of pepper. no blender either (we didn't own one)... I loved it and still make it at home.
Love your video's Jack! Many of your recipes take me back to my ma's cooking! Take care Jack and thanks for all fun!
Glad you like the videos ToJo, anything that takes us back to Mom's cooking is great! Keep Well, Jack Become a Member Of "Cooking With The Blues"

Always a pleasure to watch you in your element. A real "Chef".
I love watching Jack chop vegetables. You know he has done it so many times, satisfying.
So glad this popped up in my feed. It's been awhile. Thanks for all the vids, Jack. RIP
Thank you so much for all of your videos....love the passion
This video reminds me of a time we were at his restaurant on a warm summer evening. It was just before closing time when two men (clearly drunk) came in. They were rude, cocky and whiny. They insisted on something to eat and when they saw that Jack was making soup, they kept asking for a bowl of soup. At one point Chef Jack got fed up with it and said that they would get a bowl of soup, but only if they sat down and kept quiet for a while. Jack went to the toilet to take off his underpants that he had been wearing all day. And together with some of the soup already made, he drew a broth from his underpants. The gentlemen (unaware of the extra ingredient) clearly enjoyed it. And so did we watching them! How we miss this man! RIP LEGEND.
I remember that evening! RIP Big Legend
I like this guy. Food looks good, wholesome kind of place with comfort food. Nicely done.
Good stuff for this time of year...keeps you warm and its nutritional. Thanks for the video.
I have been looking for a potato soup recipe for my wife and I'm sure I have found it now! Thank you for taking the time to teach us your delicious recipes!!
We miss you Daddy Jack you always made us feel like family with every video
He was the best of the best and he lives on in his videos and writing.
