If I were a chef, I would gently wrap this interview away in my library to revisit on only a select few occasions like a fine wine. Two greats in their own right. Now ours for all eternity. ❤️
It brings a tear to my eye seeing someone as influential as Anthony Bourdain almost lost for words speaking to this man. They're both giants of their time. So beautiful.
Watching this video and my heart breaks. Pepin, who can’t outrun time; Bourdain, who couldn’t outrun his demons. I’m cherishing this video, missing the genius.
I just caught up with this lovely conversation. Two people who like and respect one another, talking about their life's passion. It was sad and poignant to hear Anthony talk about dying a "lone wolf," knowing that's exactly what happened.
Setting aside who Jacques Pepin is and his career, it's such a joy to witness an 80 year old hard working man with a mind still sharp as a razor. Chapeau, Chef!
Chef Pepin is the antithesis to the loud, bullying, self absorbed fame whore tv chefs of current times. He is the real deal - there are extremely few who come close to his skills. He really has done it all. Love this man!
you grabbed the words from my mouth. this is exactly why I love Jacques Pepin. He skills are impressive but he's not a show off. He really enjoys sharing the knowledge he has acquired all through his life. He's happy to teach. He's happy with the art of cooking. He does not need your adoration, even though people give it to him. Humility and modesty coming from a man who grew up during hard times. He said those times were hard but he was happy. That's his personality right there. He might ask you -- Michellin stars? What stars? He does not care about trifle things like that.
Met Jacque when he had lost his following there for a while. He was doing cooking shows at small venues. He hated it, he hated being there, he was a rude, arrogant prima Donna. For the next 20 years when he came on tv I turned the station.
My father was a chef just like Jacques, sweet, kind, gracious and heartfelt generosity. When our restaurant was slow, my father would cook the food and serve the customers himself.
My love of food came mostly from my visits to France. Things my mother and g.mothers ruined I came to really love---- when made well! Scrambled eggs, potatoes au gratin, etc. Made by my family--- absolutely horrible stuff! Made properly---- heavenly! Trips to France and watching Julia and Jacques made me want to learn. So I went to Le Cordon Bleu, in Paris, but only to learn to cook for myself. ( the same school Julia Child went to) I just wanted to learn knife skills, flavor parings, and basic techniques. The recipes I seldom look at. It was the style and confidence in cooking I wanted! And the competition with the other students! I never wanted to cook for anyone other than myself! And, what fun it was! Years later i was going to French school in Bordeaux. And was taking more cooking classes while there. The first day the teacher comes over to me and asked my where I had cooked before! Just from the way I was scoring the skin on a duck breast he knew I had had some training. Somewhere! But I professed I knew nothing, but he didn't believe me! He knew. And I knew he knew! So he would watch me from a distance and smile. I never told him my secret. I just wanted to learn more. To practice more! I wanted the experience but without a restaurant environment! Plus, I wanted to learn wine pairings with certain classic French dishes! It was so much fun! I never wanted to ruin it with restaurant work! It is, after all, very, very hard work. Day after day. I never wanted to lose the fun of it. Of cooking only for myself. Or at most for 3 other people! Then it is fun. Cooking night after night for 100-150 people??? NEVER!!! So, now, all of these years later it is still fun for me. From going to the markets looking for what looks best to the actual cooking--- I love it! It just isn't a surprise when I sit down to finally eat it! And usually I'm not all that hungry after all of the tasting I do as I go along cooking things, so i often eat 3 or 4+ hours after I cook so I am then, hopefully, hungry! But, I'm not always hungry even then. It is very difficult to cook for just 1 person. But I hope I never lose the enjoyment of making food I love to eat! Because I prefer my food over anyone else's! ANYONE'S!!!
I agree. I first saw Chef Pepin cooking with Julia Child. Anthony Bourdain had some "fan girl" moments here. Excellent show. We will miss Tony Bourdain.
in his last interview, Bourdain called the Clintons scumbags. he said more , he said Bill was a pedo.... then he dies a few weeks later..... not a coincidence
@@420protoman He actually said that Hilary Clinton's response to the allegations about Harvey Weinstein (who was accused of groping his then girlfriend) was uninspiring, but don't let that stop you
I would invite everyone to see any and every Jacques Pepin video on youtube. He is a sage, a master , and a magician of what it means to be a chef. Merci beaucoup Jacques! May you live for many years to come and please share your knowledge with us. BRAVO!!!
As a kid in the 1980's, I would watch Julia Child and Jacques Pepin on PBS. They were part of my happy childhood. I dream of meeting them. Sadly, these great legends are getting older and some have past away like Julia. I hope Jacques Pepin visit my city. I want a chance to meet him in person.
I lived in Nancy in 1979 and enjoyed calves brains with cream fresh unknowing what it was--the texture and rich flavour-but ran away from the table to get sick--I was so unaware then! Food enjoyment is taste and sense of the tongue--not in thinking about it--on the brain!
My best friend had the opportunity to meet Jacques when he was staying in Florida. She said he was the sweetest person you would ever want to meet. AND he gave her a tip for crispy chicken thighs. Dry the meat overnight in the fridge!
The amount of times I've bailed my ass out in the kitchen by pulling Pepin's Techniques off the shelf qualifies this man as my personal saint. Recipe books are fine, but a technique book gives you freedom.
Aww that's so cool! I could listen to his stories for hours. From his daughter to now grand daughter.. I can picture him at breakfast time cooking crepes for her & her friends! Yes, he's everyone's grandpa for sure!
I grew up in San Francisco and remember watching Jacques on KQED Channel 9 every Saturday. In 1990 I got to meet him and Julia Child at Williams & Sonoma in Laurel village on California street in SF at a book signing. And he was exactly the same in person as he is on tv. It's a memory I'll always remember!!!!!!!!! 👍
I've never heard anyone describe A kitchen, service, restaurants and line cooks so well as Anthony Bourdain, for the last 3 days I've listened to Kitchen confidential non stop, hating myself for not listening to this 10 years later than I should of in college Jacques Pepin has to be the most knowledgeable, efficient and effective chef i've ever witnessed demonstrate techniques, genuinely floors me any time I watch him demonstrate preparation methods
This is the closest I've ever seen Anthony Bourdain gushing like a 13 year old school girl meeting their popstar idol. Lets not kid ourselves, anyone would feel that way around Jacques Pepin.
I can't stop watching all of the videos that feature Anthony Bourdain. I have been a fan for years and will always be. I wish you would have felt how much you meant to the world, and that feeling would have been enough to keep going on.
But Bourdain sums it up with his comment, "Life Sucks!" Oh, well. So much for you! See ya! Don't want to be ya!!! Bourdain is/was a looser! Off you go then!!! CIAO!!! If you can't find value in your own life??? Change it!!! Or not!!! Who cares??? I don't!!! It is Your life! Do something with it! Ciao!!!
That was a wonderful interview. Chef Pepin is a masterful cook and deeply appreciative of food. Chef Bourdain is a masterful interviewer and deeply appreciative of his guest. The combination is fantastic and magical. RIP Chef Bourdain, you are deeply missed.
It is very sad, but at the same time joyful to see Anthony Bourdain so happy, he is smiling ear-to-ear :-). He is so nervous, it is too cute, like a young fan girl meeting her boy band crush (hehe). How wonderful for him that he got to interview one of the cooking world's masters and one of his heroes!! His presence in this world is greatly missed, he provided a voice for so many people around the world and window into so many cultures, he brought us all together through this words and simply sharing a passion for food no matter where he went.
I say this with as much respect as I can muster. The inevitable ravages of time we all succumb to say we only have Jacques for a very limited number of years now. If he's amenable, anyone interested in talking to possibly the most interesting food person on the planet before we lose him should be preparing their very best questions and humbly asking for an hour or so of his time. Let's get as many of this man's thoughts on video or audio as possible. I'm so thankful so much is already there, but, as with all geniuses, we will wish for more when they're gone.
Chef Pepin has such a pleasant personality and his stories are always a treat to listen to. It doesn't matter if he actually answers the questions asked. I would listen to him talk about anything all day.
Pepin lionized and simplified French cuisine for the American audience. I think he was better at teaching a larger audience than Julia Childs. His recipes are simple to follow.
@@kwokfanfan3606 That wasnt always the case, when Pepin still had color in his hair he was way too fast in his cooking shows, faster than Julia and she couldnt stop, no editing.
Pep in is so humble!! He’s such a common man. He just happens to be a genius at cooking and also communicating his and others’ techniques. And he has a daughter, Claudine, who is such an asset in helping us understand his “le methode.”
So true when he says you can get a more memorable meal from a french, Spanish, Italian or Greek grandmother than in a posh restaurant. It’s not all about stars.
What a great interview! My hero-J. Pepin and my hero A. Bourdain talking . I never saw this before. Jacques taught me how to cook in the early 80's. And Anthony showed me how to love cooking again. America is now the center of the cooking Renaisance in the world. Thanks to people like this.
Wow he said he would want to eat in Mexico!!! Now there's a humble man! I love it. I used to love Gordon Ramsay, but now I truly love Jacques Pepin as my number one chef, so classy, simple, and perfect!
What a wonderful interview. I've been following, since lock-down, these old cooking shows on utube, I love the Pepin and Julie Child shows . TV anything... isn't cutting the mustard for me anymore. On anything.
I saw you mentioned Julia and Pepin. If you're interested... perhaps take a look at "Yan Can Cook". It's an older show now, but it taught chinese food with that same pleasant feel, and the man obviously was passionate and happy in the kitchen! Have a good one!
I saw him on a panel once with Marco Pierre White (who we know Bourdain was a fan of as well) but he was much more reserved than he is here gushing (& rightly so, lol) over Pepin. I sure do miss Tony & I do love me some Pepin :)
arthur wohltman I have been on two cruises with Jaques Pepin and I have been impressed every time with his humbleness. One time, at the end of the cruise, Jacques and Gloria were there in the line getting off the ship pushing their luggage on a cart waiting for a taxi just like the rest of us. No privilege, no handlers, just Jean-Claude, Gloria and Jacques. Not asking for any favors just being a human being. I love that man.
He was my dinner companion at an IACP function. A modest man and he was always Ready with a laugh. The photo of us together is one of my prized possessions.
Another major tipping point was Julia Child and her cooking show on PBS! She really blew the doors off, thus elevating all cooking, the sourcing of ingredients and the idea that 'good' cooking, and/or French cooking, was within the grasp of most people, with a bit of effort and study. 100%, Julia was certainly a major tipping point! She turned people on to an elevated feel for what 'good food' is/was! And that it was possible to achieve it in most people's homes!!! Julia Child was in the vanguard, in that wave, of interest in 'food'! And how it is made. Plus an interest in 'good' ingredients. And what good ingredients really were! We owe a huge debt to Julia Child. Even today! Plus Jacques Pépin! ABSOLUTELY!!! THANK-YOU, JACQUES! You are certainly an American hero, for all you have done for American culture and cooking!!! We are in debt to you, certainly! Again, Thank-you, sir!!!
Both Pepin and Bourdain have a wonderful conviviality, using food as a means to share. Bourdain did this wonderful interview on PBS some years ago, talking about his book, The Nasty Little Bits. Sharing your food with others is an extreme act of generosity, hospitality and intimacy. Pepin's series also reinforces this concept. Ultimately, cooking is the original alchemy--transforming both food and time into something quite wonderful to share with others. And here are two people that are passionate about that process.
After only seeing cooking videos with Chef Jaques Pépin, this is the first interview with him I see -and I'm just in love with his personality. Wonderful person.
Pepin was always on in my house when I came home from school. My mama and I loved to watch together. This interview w/ Bourdain is a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I LOVE the idea he spoke about the “ craft “ . It defines everyone in every profession that is the best at what they do. There are NO shortcuts . Jacques defines the principle. Anthony showed much grace ,and enthusiasm. RIP AD ... Ps. Notice their honesty ,and humility .
I am sure I would be tongue tied like Tony if I met Jacques. I would also wish my mom could be there as she was fluent in French and previously met him at a book signing where they spoke French together and gave her a great memory. Tony and I went into kitchens at the same age but he did so much more.
49:51 as a bar worker Mr.Pepin refers to me and my coworkers exactly. If you frequent any haunt or local bar: Thank you for joining us. Regulars make us.
I remember watching him with his daughter, also a chef..cooking together...on PBS in the late 90's when I was in Vermont studying....God..time flied.....
Certainly two of my favorite Chefs off all time: Both no nonsense characters in a very tough world. They don't suffer fools easily ! I have always appreciated Jacques' direct approach to food-- and the concept that amazing food need not be complicated or expensive was a revelation to me. I watched every show took notes made my own variations --because I couldn't get what he cooked with ! And Bourdain is just this New York dude who really really knows food and approaches it all with a grain of salt : and sarcasm that I totally get. I hope these two do something together again (perhaps a food special.)
Not likely! Is it? I love Mssr. Pépin. I found Bourdain to be an interminable, contemptuous boar! And I mean boar!!! M. Pépin is everything Bourdain wasn't. And, it is no wonder why M. Pépin is still here and the other guy..... isn't! Pfffff! Be gone!!!
These two are the angels of food. One educated me as I loved food as a child and was a boy in the 70s-80s that could not discuss this, the other turned all of us hobby boy chefs into rockstars of our social lives by the 2000s. I owe both a great deal of moments, memories, skill, love, appreciation ...
My favorite people together having the most amazing conversation! Thank you for the inspiration Chef's!!! I've been cooking since I was 17 , now I'm 57 and a chef still loving what I'm doing! Good advice Jacques!! Miss you tremendously Anthony ❣️
What an inestimable treasure to see these two seminal artists together in conversation; thank you so so much, 92nd Street Y ~ and for all you bring into the world.
This is profound. I want to pull a quote from this to connect with other fans but I am just simply enamored & soaking this in. I'll watch this religiously for as long as I'm around...
This was one of the best conversations about food I have heard. Even now I enjoy watching Pepin especially when he cooks something that Julia Child’s like to eat! Bourdain search!
Jacques Pepin is amazing to listen too as he is humble and willing to share his vast experience and understanding of cooking. Tres bien monsieur; je vous remercie pour votre don de l'art de la cuisine!!!!
@@jeffreyyoders6366 perhaps, although I've heard of a few other possible people who could have wanted him silenced. The truth will come out eventually.
Can't recall exactly when I first saw Mr. Pepin on TV but I was a much younger man and was immediately hooked on watching him do his magic. He is always a gracious and humble man who has never taken himself seriously but generously shares his knowledge and experiences. He is one of a kind and we are fortunate to have him.
1:14:13 _Love in the Time of Cholera_ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is indeed a great masterpiece and a delightful read. Jacques' mention of it here makes me want to read it again.
I was thinking the same. And noticed that Tony had no idea of who the author that he was making reference was. I love Gabo! He was my neighbor back in Cartagena Colombia when I was 7 years old. He often often read books to me in the front terrace of his home. Oh boy was I a lucky child
This is great. I never knew they had met. I remember Anthony saying something like, "If Jacques says 'this is how you boil an egg,' then that's how you do it."
@@joinjen3854 Please, get over yourself, it's a word to show praise and a common saying. In terms of being divine in the culinary world, Jacques is about as close as it gets.
One of the GREATEST PERSONALITIES and Story Tellers our world has ever seen. I have learned much from you Bourdain! Thank you for giving me the appreciation for life and serious appreciation for food I have. I MISS YOU! You are missed. Although I’ve never met you I regard you as my mentor. Thank you! RIP!

That film noir rome episode in no reservations is 👌 Two of the greats for sure
Bourdain was not half the chef that Pepin is.
I LOVE Jacques, for 40+ years. But the treat here, is Tony; seeing him genuinely happy, excited, unguarded. Chokes me up.
Watching this video and my heart breaks. Pepin, who can’t outrun time; Bourdain, who couldn’t outrun his demons. I’m cherishing this video, missing the genius.
Watching this in 2022, i'm enjoying it a lot but i'm so sad as well.
Well said.
Exactly. Well said. Chef Pepin is genius in his ability to cook and teach. Anthony Bourdain was someone I would have loved to have a beer with.
Bourdain was killed
I’m not sure it’s his own demons that Bourdain couldn’t outrun…
I just caught up with this lovely conversation. Two people who like and respect one another, talking about their life's passion. It was sad and poignant to hear Anthony talk about dying a "lone wolf," knowing that's exactly what happened.

McDonald's has a very detailed technique book. Just saying...... lol :)
What book exactly is this?

What a great interview! My hero-J. Pepin and my hero A. Bourdain talking . I never saw this before. Jacques taught me how to cook in the early 80's. And Anthony showed me how to love cooking again. America is now the center of the cooking Renaisance in the world. Thanks to people like this.
Wow he said he would want to eat in Mexico!!! Now there's a humble man! I love it. I used to love Gordon Ramsay, but now I truly love Jacques Pepin as my number one chef, so classy, simple, and perfect!
I am finally able to watch Anthony again.
What a wonderful interview. I've been following, since lock-down, these old cooking shows on utube, I love the Pepin and Julie Child shows .
TV anything... isn't cutting the mustard for me anymore. On anything.
I hear that! Cooking and veterinary shows now!
I saw you mentioned Julia and Pepin. If you're interested... perhaps take a look at "Yan Can Cook". It's an older show now, but it taught chinese food with that same pleasant feel, and the man obviously was passionate and happy in the kitchen! Have a good one!
@@DarkScion07 ! Actually have one of Yan's cook books. I use it all the time when I'm Chinese inspired.
Only Jacques Pepin could turn Anthony Bourdain into a giddy four year old on Christmas morning ❤
I love that part as well! You can tell he really means it lol! Awesome stuff
I saw him on a panel once with Marco Pierre White (who we know Bourdain was a fan of as well) but he was much more reserved than he is here gushing (& rightly so, lol) over Pepin. I sure do miss Tony & I do love me some Pepin :)
@@monkeyman2407 vfb
@monkeyman2407 enjoy Pepin frequently- there is very little of him left, I try to cherish every time I see him even if its an older episode
This was a very enjoyable video. This guy is the epitome of old school and on top of that he is completely humble.
arthur wohltman I have been on two cruises with Jaques Pepin and I have been impressed every time with his humbleness. One time, at the end of the cruise, Jacques and Gloria were there in the line getting off the ship pushing their luggage on a cart waiting for a taxi just like the rest of us. No privilege, no handlers, just Jean-Claude, Gloria and Jacques. Not asking for any favors just being a human being. I love that man.
He was my dinner companion at an IACP function. A modest man and he was always Ready with a laugh. The photo of us together is one of my prized possessions.
Anthony Bourdain, what a great host he was, I miss him... thanks for sharing
What a great interviewer Tony Bourdain was... I can't believe I'm already saying, "was."
I still cant believe ....i dont want to....
My heart will always hurt
He's an bloated ass.
@@dy9278 Why?
🙁
Two of the best chefs on this planet ever. And both very funny and humble over that. And I miss Anthony.... :( What a great loss and sad ending.
Perfect host, perfect interviewer.
Eric knew
Delicious interview… adorable characters… RIP Tony. Your passing pissed me off
Another major tipping point was Julia Child and her cooking show on PBS! She really blew the doors off, thus elevating all cooking, the sourcing of ingredients and the idea that 'good' cooking, and/or French cooking, was within the grasp of most people, with a bit of effort and study.
100%, Julia was certainly a major tipping point!
She turned people on to an elevated feel for what 'good food' is/was! And that it was possible to achieve it in most people's homes!!!
Julia Child was in the vanguard, in that wave, of interest in 'food'! And how it is made. Plus an interest in 'good' ingredients. And what good ingredients really were!
We owe a huge debt to Julia Child. Even today!
Plus Jacques Pépin! ABSOLUTELY!!!
THANK-YOU, JACQUES! You are certainly an American hero, for all you have done for American culture and cooking!!!
We are in debt to you, certainly!
Again, Thank-you, sir!!!
Wonderful interview...two charismatic and conscious people...may Anthony Bourdain Rest in Peace...loved his boyish laugh!!!
Oh my God I miss Bourdain. I love both these icons. I have learned so much from both
I love how in almost every one of the many many videos I’ve watched of him he mentions “my friend, Julia”.
Both Pepin and Bourdain have a wonderful conviviality, using food as a means to share. Bourdain did this wonderful interview on PBS some years ago, talking about his book, The Nasty Little Bits. Sharing your food with others is an extreme act of generosity, hospitality and intimacy. Pepin's series also reinforces this concept. Ultimately, cooking is the original alchemy--transforming both food and time into something quite wonderful to share with others. And here are two people that are passionate about that process.
Im tired just getting through his accolades and accomplishments. Whew. I love this man. So much respect.
After only seeing cooking videos with Chef Jaques Pépin, this is the first interview with him I see -and I'm just in love with his personality. Wonderful person.
Pepin was always on in my house when I came home from school. My mama and I loved to watch together. This interview w/ Bourdain is a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
"I want a taco and a beer..." Excellent! And thanks for the memories, Jaques. I've just ordered my copy of, "The Apprentice."
This man is a treasure. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years and I’ve not come across him.
I know this is old (so am I), but this is a revelation. Two of my favorite people talking about a subject dear to my heart. So great!
"Everyone wants to die in good health." - Jacque Pépin
Good catch.
his favorite saying
An exquisite line.
Sadly that didn't come true for Anthony.
Yes that was funny
I could listen to these guys all day.
I LOVE the idea he spoke about the “ craft “ . It defines everyone in every profession that is the best at what they do. There are NO shortcuts . Jacques defines the principle. Anthony showed much grace ,and enthusiasm. RIP AD ... Ps. Notice their honesty ,and humility .
This just came up in my feed, and I had tears in my eyes watching the interview. The 'last meal' question was a real gut punch.
let me just say I had a blast seeing Jacques Pepin go all over the place with Bourdain questions on, whats more important Chef or Ingridient.
Two of my favorite people! RIP Anthony, going to miss you
Tells you a lot when Pépin released a 3 hour long video with just the absolute fundamental techniques. The oldest master in the world is hard work.
Great conversation, so tragic we won't be able to see Bourdain interviewed at 80.
😭😭
You can always see a star that shines - Jacques Pepin
Hi, nice phrase I like it thank you
Tho some times it’s cloudy out, or daytime
I am sure I would be tongue tied like Tony if I met Jacques. I would also wish my mom could be there as she was fluent in French and previously met him at a book signing where they spoke French together and gave her a great memory. Tony and I went into kitchens at the same age but he did so much more.
These two men are bueatiful together.
I love Jaques real French accent. I have learned so much from watching his videos. My kitchen game has gone way up because of Jacques.
49:51 as a bar worker Mr.Pepin refers to me and my coworkers exactly. If you frequent any haunt or local bar: Thank you for joining us. Regulars make us.
I watched Jacques when I was 7 years old on pbs. I love and adore that man
I remember watching him with his daughter, also a chef..cooking together...on PBS in the late 90's when I was in Vermont studying....God..time flied.....
And then with *her* daughter, his granddaughter. Delightful and charming.
Certainly two of my favorite Chefs off all time: Both no nonsense characters in a very tough world. They don't suffer fools easily ! I have always appreciated Jacques' direct approach to food-- and the concept that amazing food need not be complicated or expensive was a revelation to me. I watched every show took notes made my own variations --because I couldn't get what he cooked with ! And Bourdain is just this New York dude who really really knows food and approaches it all with a grain of salt : and sarcasm that I totally get. I hope these two do something together again (perhaps a food special.)
Not likely! Is it?
I love Mssr. Pépin.
I found Bourdain to be an interminable, contemptuous boar! And I mean boar!!!
M. Pépin is everything Bourdain wasn't.
And, it is no wonder why M. Pépin is still here and the other guy..... isn't! Pfffff!
Be gone!!!
So glad I took the time to listen to this! Love the down to earth approach of Chef Pepin. And I’m saddened because I know Bourdain took his own life.
I agree. The last meal question was especially sad to hear.
Except he was murdered
ALL reports of his death say suicide.
"Much longer than me" That hit me hard. Miss you Tony
Same here...😢
No words to describe Jacques. Saintly. Culinary philosopher. Food is love. Love is food.
Jacques is a French chef
are you sure?@@marshalljimduncan
@@musicman4635 Jacques taught me how to cook eggs correctly. Specifically, the French omelet. I'd say that makes him a French chef, guy...
Listening to Bourdain talking about last meal gives me the chills.
Looking back he talks of death so much…just took it as his dark humor.
@@jenniferz2891 most ppl w prior addictions 'know'.
These two are the angels of food. One educated me as I loved food as a child and was a boy in the 70s-80s that could not discuss this, the other turned all of us hobby boy chefs into rockstars of our social lives by the 2000s. I owe both a great deal of moments, memories, skill, love, appreciation ...
My favorite people together having the most amazing conversation!
Thank you for the inspiration Chef's!!!
I've been cooking since I was 17 , now I'm 57 and a chef still loving what I'm doing!
Good advice Jacques!!
Miss you tremendously Anthony ❣️
What an inestimable treasure to see these two seminal artists together in conversation; thank you so so much, 92nd Street Y ~ and for all you bring into the world.
Chef Pepin was always very clever and ajoy to watch. He reminded me of my fathervery much so.
Anthony, how we miss you. What a shame that we don’t have your skills and personality any longer. Jacques Pepin, one of the greats.
This is profound. I want to pull a quote from this to connect with other fans but I am just simply enamored & soaking this in. I'll watch this religiously for as long as I'm around...
This was one of the best conversations about food I have heard. Even now I enjoy watching Pepin especially when he cooks something that Julia Child’s like to eat!
Bourdain search!
Two awesome personalities... R.I.P. Anthony Bourdain.
Jacques Pepin is amazing to listen too as he is humble and willing to share his vast experience and understanding of cooking. Tres bien monsieur; je vous remercie pour votre don de l'art de la cuisine!!!!
Anthony Bourdain you broke my heart! Of all the so called famous people why did you leave us? The world was better with you in it.
I'm still asking, WHY??
More like "taken from us". The man did not commit suicide, no matter what "they" say. He was murdered!
@@TruthTroubadour-xi9cc Pretty sure it had to do with the girlfriend who has admitted to bedding a 13-year-old boy.
@@jeffreyyoders6366 perhaps, although I've heard of a few other possible people who could have wanted him silenced. The truth will come out eventually.
He didn't leave; he got kicked out.
Can't recall exactly when I first saw Mr. Pepin on TV but I was a much younger man and was immediately hooked on watching him do his magic. He is always a gracious and humble man who has never taken himself seriously but generously shares his knowledge and experiences. He is one of a kind and we are fortunate to have him.
1:14:13 _Love in the Time of Cholera_ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is indeed a great masterpiece and a delightful read. Jacques' mention of it here makes me want to read it again.
I was thinking the same. And noticed that Tony had no idea of who the author that he was making reference was. I love Gabo! He was my neighbor back in Cartagena Colombia when I was 7 years old. He often often read books to me in the front terrace of his home. Oh boy was I a lucky child
1:00:32 is the actual time code
The movie is pretty good with Javier Bardem.
So cool! A great chef with humility and class. And never got caught in the Michelin race. Rare indeed!
Wonderful interview!! SO SO Sad about Anthony Bourdain! Love and prayers to his wife and daughter!❤️🙏🏻😞
Thank you for posting such an enjoyable interview.
This is great. I never knew they had met. I remember Anthony saying something like, "If Jacques says 'this is how you boil an egg,' then that's how you do it."
a God, pure and simple, such a gentle and humble guy too..... life would be good to be able to cook next to him...
Sorry you feel the need to consider any of these men " gods".. sad
@@joinjen3854 Please, get over yourself, it's a word to show praise and a common saying.
In terms of being divine in the culinary world, Jacques is about as close as it gets.
@@Motoko1134 I just read that he also paints. The abtract painting he made for Anthony is pretty amazing. You can see it on the tribute to Anthony.
One of the GREATEST PERSONALITIES and Story Tellers our world has ever seen. I have learned much from you Bourdain! Thank you for giving me the appreciation for life and serious appreciation for food I have. I MISS YOU! You are missed. Although I’ve never met you I regard you as my mentor. Thank you! RIP!
I'm new to Jacque Pepin today and I'm in love!
