You knew when you saw that messed up looking pan that this was gonna be good.

Rest In Peace to a legend. Showed many people that cooking doesn’t have to be pretentious to be really great.

I had so many easy, cheap and tasty dishes thanks to you during my college years. Rest in peace daddy Jack.

This stands forever in our family cookbook as "Jack's onion pasta". RIP big man.

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.

The raging stove, the old pans, the no bullshit approach, you can just tell this tastes perfect.

I knew when I started watching this man cook, he was a legend. Rest in Peace my friend Jack. You are missed dearly.

Simple straightforward approach to making incredible food. There won't be another one like Daddy Jack...

I did not know that this great chef had passed. My sincere condolences and respect from Canada. Such a loss

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 ‼️

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.

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.

this type of videos are so satisfaying to watch at 1 am

Just love those hard-working pans.

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.

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 (:

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.

I love how Jack talks to us sincerely like we're family throughout the whole video. Thank you for a lovely cooking show.🇮🇹

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!

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!

Daddy Jack will be missed. His infectious, kind spirit and exemplary culinary skill were second to none. My deepest sympathy to his family.

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

Even though the master has left us I still come back to these videos. Its always fun to look someone doin something he really loves.

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.

"I'm gonna make you a pasta you can't refuse"

Lovely, just lovely. Straightforward, delivered with great skill and humility. RIP Daddy Jack. Your legacy lives on!!!!

RIP. Jack was a relief when everything was locked down during COVID. Thanks for sharing. We miss you.

that bent frying pan will be in a museum one day

You inspire me, Jack. Love watching you work and the finished result is always a masterpiece! Be well, my brother, and keep on cookin'!!

I love Daddy Jacks videos, no nonsense cooking, easy to follow and alway great tasting food. A legendary guy.

I just love watching Jack cook.... thanks so much for having his videos available...

Blues and food: two of the best things in life. Sometimes the YT algorithm scores right... Best regards from Brazil, chef!

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's videos got me in the kitchen and cooking. I now love it. I hope his family monitor. He had a big influence on so many. One Love.

He made me enthusiastic about cooking and able to put together great dishes my family still loves. Rip and thanks for what you have left behind!

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 KZfaq 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.

Hey Jack, Enjoyable watching you work and educational. Continue doing your wonderful thing. The best to you!

Miss this guy! Always enjoyed these peaceful and warm videos from Jack's restaurant. It smelled great even through the video!

RIP. You are such a great guy. Thanks for all the recipes and videos you put on youtube. I was watching them for years

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!!!

I recently discovered Jack's Channel. He cooked with passion and will be greatly missed. Incredible Recipes!

Wow! Just amazing. I'm glad he was with us to show everyone this dish.

R I P Jack Loved your videos and loved your food recipes more. Thank you for you will be missed but never forgotten.

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 like that the videos are Short and straight to the point.

RIP chef. Love watching your videos. I am half Sicilian and I love your rustic cooking style. Everthing always looked so delicious.

So easy, these videos can inspire ANYONE to cook! Rest in Peace Jack!

RIP Jack, you and your cooking was a blessing to the world.

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.

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.

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.. 💪💪

Rip Jack, I'm going to miss watching you cook. You were a great chef, kept it simple.🙏🙏

I miss Jack! I learned and still learn so much from him.

Gosh I miss you Jack!!! tuning into your videos always made my day just that much better. RIH big guy❤️

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.

Kinda like the pasta I eat when drunk... with pretty much everything in it.

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.

RIP Daddy Jack! Still love when your videos pop up in my feed. I still enjoy all of them!!

Daddy Jack you are not forgotten. I still watch your videos whenever I am looking for a new recipe.

Love this cooked old school. Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes when I just want to wind down for the day I watch one of Jack's videos. Thanks Jack...

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.

Daddy jack! never had one of your dishes but man you always made me feel right there like a new cook learning the trade. Thanks dog miss you

Love that pan you’re cooking with Jack. Been through a few recipes. 🔥😎

That is the most impressive thing I've seen him do. It's so simple and quick but it looks like a slice of heaven. What a chef.

I will always use this great mans recipes!! Thank you for teaching so many to cook!

Nobody can compare to Daddy Jack, a true chef working in the trenches. I'll use his cooking vids for the rest of my life.

You know what they say - "Never trust a skinny chef"... and My Oh My, would I trust this guy with all of my taste buds!

I like the way he chops the onion. So slow, but so quick in the same time

Miss you, you have lots of great videos of cooking LEGEND.....RIP JACK!!!!!

The late, great Jack. Always enjoyed his videos and trying out his recipes. I also loved his stove, it had 2 settings, off, and afterburner.

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

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 😔💔

Damn I didn’t know he passed away. May you live on in your cooking, content, and joy you brought to many

To say that this guy's cooking was inspired is damning him with faint praise. I love everything about how he goes about making a dish, he makes it look easy even though he obviously has decades of experience. That being said, it seems like he "improvises" in the moment, not locked in to a strictly set ingredient list, he throws in a little of this and a little of that, a true artist. I came upon his videos about a month ago, only now finding out what thousands of you already know. Going to be checking out more!

This guy was like the Willie Nelson of cooking. Could make beautiful art with the most beatup equipment. RIP Daddy Jack

I love the way this man cooks like he was born to cook, so relaxed, and it just flows. Great, looks delicious.

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

Thanks for the recipes, Jack. Rest in peace, big guy. My condolences to your family and friends. Respect

I love that he uses these old dented pans and makes amazing things. Farewell sir, you’re missed.

Love this guy. When I get depressed I watch his video and enjoy him cooking amazing food. Thank you for what you do amigo.

I followed the recipe today. My wife loved it. I got some marital love afterwards. Thanks for sharing.

he's so awesome to watch cook... love it probably because this is exactly how i cook

You know the chef's a pro when they can eat straight from a piping red hot frying pan and not flinch.

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 love these videos and will always watch them. You are missed Daddy Jack!

Even now watching your videos. Food made with love instead of a teaspoon and measuring cup always tastes better. God Bless you and your family. RIP.

Man, I wish he was with us longer. These videos are so soothing, and teach you how to make some great food

Now that's the "Cooking with Jack" I'd like to see!!!

Every time i watch this video it bring me to tears. Miss Jack so much. Class act, great chef and a loving Father to his daughters Rachel and Lucy. Jack you made this world a lot better place when you were in it. You left a huge mark. Legend all the way. RIP Jack. God Bless you.

one of my all time favorite cooking channel

What a guy,I love his style of cooking

Finally I see a chef tasting his food

I find myself coming to this dish all the time. I love the acidity. Long live Daddy Jack.

I sure hope Jack's family preserved that skillet! It's iconic and in almost every episode.

If that pan could talk what stories he’d tell..

when you see a pan like this, you know is gonna be a delicious meal!

Daddy Jack lives on every time any of us make this and his other recipes. RIP DJ

Looks like a very tasty dish. The cook will live forever here on KZfaq, that's the beauty of cyberspace. I still get to see many talented people who have passed on still living here.
