Love that I found Chef Jack Chaplin… sad to hear of his passing!

Jack, I've watched many of your videos, and enjoyed them thoroughly. My biggest takeaway, one that's helped me quite with my own cooking, is that measurements don't have to be exact. Maybe they do for something delicate, but for most dishes, it seems close is good. Adjust to taste. The change in perspective has allowed me to shift from an "every ingredient must be measured exactly as the recipe says" perspective to a more "let's just have fun with it" one. And I am having more fun with cooking. I'm also not panicking as much when I don't have a particular ingredient.

I usto be a Chef in the Florida Keys. And made a ton of these Dishes. Good job.. Jack.

11 mil mins, 10000 subscribers, how many vids. that's all great. how many regular at home chefs you've helped turn out some great meals is the number you should be proud of the most jack. thanks for all your hard work, and bobs too. can't see myself ever venturing thru your neck of the woods but if I do I'll be sure to stop and and say hello, and thank you.

Thanks Chef, I have tried a lot of your dishes and my family and friends love them here in Australia

I just want you to know that I used this video to make my first ever cioppino this last weekend; did just a couple of things differently due to availability, substituted as closely as I could... This was by far the BEST result I have ever had from straying from my own cooking and letting someone else show me how to make something. Out of the park with the flavors, the huge amount we thought we would have left over to share with neighbors disappeared in less than an hour:) Another thing... you can really see the love in your cooking, and it spreads out from the screen and infects me as a viewer, which I am sure had a hell of a lot to do with how good my re-creation was:) Thank you, glad I subbed, cant wait for this weekend... just have to choose which of your videos I should try next.

Jack your videos are down to earth, you are legit, you tell it how it is ... I'm thinking your followers / viewers would benefit from a series on putting together the various sauces for dishes. Keep on! :) Keeping on

I just got thru eating and now I'm hungry again! I LOVE anything with clams, and mussels in it!

Great recipe and love your videos. Here is a tip I use for the leeks. After you chop them, put them in a bowl filled with cold water and stir them a bit. All the sand will fall to the bottom. Super easy!!

I love to cook at home , it's always been a huge passion of mine and daddy Jack's videos have inspired me so much that all these dishes I thought were difficult he has shown me just how simple they really are using basic ingredients and only a single or couple pans . I love this guy!!

I Love this Mans cooking skills awesome Guy. God bless your Soul and RIP Sir. Love from Germany

Yummy, you inspire me keep up the good job I over love your cooking style😘

Great dish with epic toast points No one does it better than Daddy Jack

Absolutely love Cioppino! I’ll be making some in the next few days. I’m just waiting for my seafood guy to call me when he gets some Calamari and crab legs. It’s going to be great. Serving it with sourdough garlic bread. Awesome! I can’t wait! TFS, Jack!

Love your videos

Happy Holidays Jack and Co

Thanks BOB !

Fantastic

Bob's a genius at production...undeniable

wow I love that, can I have mines over saffron rice lol. keep up the best cooking I love it.

My mouth is watering

Hey, Sir a tip for ya. Here in Europe, we chop our leek first than we transfer it to a colander and we rinse it that way. No matter how well you rinse your leek, because of its structure the dirt is still going to be trapped there.

Rip daddy Jack, love and miss you, sir.

Awesome brother i love it and i love how you cheffed all over and i am a Italian food freak and thing pasta and Garlic and the way you throw that garlic in the pan is awesome brother. I love it and since i found your videos i have been telling everyone how i love it so i tell them go check him out along with the style of cooking i just love it brother making it happen at Daddy Jacks in New London, all my Ancestors are from England all Blue Bloods with money and power, one of my Ancestors was the Mayor of London, England then the First Mayor of the very first Colony in the New World up there where your from brother loll

Oh man I love leeks! Potato leek soup is one of my all time favorites.

Hey Jack!! Im officially addicted to your cooking videos. It seems you have worked and cooked all over the country. I live in Houston, Texas and would like a recommendation for a great restaurant that you would recommend?

Love the videos. 🤩

This Chef is the video. He is the MAN!

Putting out an incredible product , whether food or video. The proof is in the pudding!

We love you here in Canada Chef

If I was the camera man, I would have tripped the server to get to that plate! 😅 I would love to have went to Chapplins and met Jack and enjoyed his great food!

Fantastic channel 🍴

Some drool just rolled out of my mouth!!!!

It looks good. The one thing Jack did that grossed me out (all of the usual stuff, I'm used to by now) was putting all of the clam juice into the pot, when clams always leave behind sand and grit.

My favorite chef!!!!!

that looks so good

Looks delicious!

Miss ya Jack. RIP good sir

I miss Jack. Love you brother.

This is an amazing recipe. If you ever get the chance, order it!

when I go fishing, I wade in the water and I can feel those clams in the bottom. I dig them up and use them for bait!

R.i.p #love is #love still love your cooking channel

never met you planned on visiting you, miss you man

Awesome

You have smell a vision , Now if you could airmail me 5 gallons.Love your cooken !!!!!

Yumm ... from Australia

Love you Jack.. Rip

Traditional Italian cook I can tell. Real old school homey eating.

Love seafood ! Love it d.j.

Anyone surprised he never burns his garlic?? I usually throw mine in towards the end or have it on the heat alone for maybe a minutes max maybe it's the amount he adds as I am usually cooking for myself not multiple meals worths

You obviously have never had a fresh off the plant Southern Jersey Tomatoe. Cannot be beat and I'd love to bring you some Jack. After all Heinz used to be right down the road in Salem NJ. They barged tomotes up the canals from the fields. We have sandy loomy slightly acidic soil tomatoes and sugar corn thrives in. Just Google Jersey Tomatoes and Corn.

This chef is the best, forget all those fancy dans like Ramsey if you wanna cook good food watch this man.

That's some good looking "chumpino"... I make it your way, but I leave out the celery and red pepper. I add celery sa,t and old bay. Best garlic bread ever.

Damn that looks good

Idk why that just looks like a happy place to be lol

Rest well Chef... 😓😢

Atta' boy Bob! LOS in L A☀️

Your restaurant is yoooge. Looks cool.

RIP still watching the vids

Bob Jacko productions #1 folks...

I love leeks they are so versatile and being welsh its a national veg i do love leek pudding

sand in leeks. that's like in Crocodile Dundee II when he drops the egg on the floor gives it to the cop and the FBI guy kicks the cop to guard the door, and he starts eating the fried egg. lol

how does his garlic NOT burn? all that heat and time before he adds even the first ingredient? mine would be black.

YYYYYUUUUUUMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY! Damn!

Stanaslaus are great tomato’s and a great company I’ve Been to their facilities. But the San Marzano’s are a tough act to follow.

First video I've seen where they served to a customer out front. Of course everyone is not only amazed but the first thing said is not only "Where do I start?" but "Wow, great flavor." I always though the portions were for the backroom... Nope, that was to a customer...that much thought, time, and energy into every meal.

Good chicken cube base lol

This man never saw a garlic clove he did not like.
