I learned of Chef Jack’s passing away a few days ago, I have sat for hours pouring over his videos, admiring his compassion for cooking the most simple foods with his personal twist. Ive been cooking for over 40 years now and always learn something about food every time I watch him. Chef, Rest In Peace Sir, hopefully your videos will remain on youtube for decades to come so people can learn from your knowledge. Your ease of moving about the kitchen, the calmness you displayed, never getting upset if you browned something too much, it was awesome. God Bless your family Sir, the World lost a gentle giant.

R.I.P. my Brother! You brought happiness to many a family! Ty and we love you always

I used to be stuck in my alcohol addiction and when I'd go through alcohol withdrawal I would watch this guy cook and it helped me out alot.

Man, I truly miss Chef Jack! His videos always bring me happiness. God bless him and his family!

He uses a $150 frying pan as a lid for his cast iron. I loved everything about this man. ♥️

What made this man even greater was his emphasis on not wasting anything. Any scrap or leftover that could be used for something he would do it. Not only did he cook food with passion and his good natured personality to bring a smile to those around around him and warm their hearts, he did not take food for granted. RIP big guy.

This popped up and brought a tear to my eyes. I miss this man so much. Haven't seen a vid for a while. Much love Girls. Thank you for keeping his content alive. I wanted so bad to come out there and eat his food, maybe meet the King. RIP my brother.

i think the best thing about daddy Jack is the smooth timing and relaxed nature of his cooking and his general aura is very chilled and epic good vibes

i will never meet this man but i can say he a one of the few good humans left on this earth

I love rewatching Jack's videos. I've tried many of his recipes, and they are always awesome. RIP, big guy. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with the world.

The mourning period is ending, yet we're all still a little sad he had to go. But he lives on forever in these video's.

Man I miss Jack. I was going to go see him on Bank St this summer too. So glad to have these great videos he made and can watch over and over. Lakesha, you must miss him lots. What a great man he was. All the best to you and his family.

RIP jack -we will never forget you

My condolences to Jack's family. I stumbled upon Jack's channel around the start of the pandemic. Something made me gravitate toward binge watching his videos; I think it was how he reminded me of my own father. Had a personality that made you want to be around him, shared everything with loved ones, and had a friend everywhere he went. My father loved making breakfast as well, but my mother hated him in the kitchen because it just meant a mess hah. My father passed away in April of 2022 and watching these videos just makes me think of him and everything he gave. Maybe they're exchanging recipes in heaven.

I love how the dog is "standing by" to assist. haha

RIP Daddy Jack You may be gone but I am still inspired and follow your recipes. ❤️🙏

RIP Daddy Jack! You were the best tv chef!

how sad!! miss you Jacky! Love to all the family from Tunisia

He was such a big soul. Huge heart. Lovely person who made everyone around him feel better, more alive.

Oh Jack we all miss you so much . Thank you for everything !

I moved over a thousand miles from home but watching those close zooms from the Stop & Shop pepper to the wide shots with the winter snow light flooding the back...man...makes me miss home. Daddy Jack forever.

Jack got me through the pandemic with his real cooking vids giving me skillet confidence

Love every minute of him cooking for us. RIP Chef.

Rest in peace big man! Love your style, love from Russia, making it once a week, thank you!

Since I heard of his passing I been going down a rabbit whole of his videos again. RIP Jack .. Legend 🙏🏼

I've come back to him at Christmas time to celebrate his life

Hello, Uncle Jack, Perfect timing, it’s 10 am here in Thailand. Im sitting here tryna think what I should eat for breakfast 🍳 this will do 😚

Wow I just found this channel and read he passed away. Wow so sad he’s seemed like an amazing and compassionate man. ❤😊 🙏🏽

When I make French toast I always pour the little bit of egg leftover on the top of the bread when you first put it in the frying pan.

LEGEND FOR LIFE HOPE YOURE LOOKING DOWN ON US JACK

🙏🏼 Daddy Jack lives on with these videos.

Love the way you say cooking with the blues, it should definitely be trademarked.

Rest in peace DJ. We miss you.

Man, it really is all about those memories with cousin Dave or whoever. Because before too long, it’s all said and done. Miss you uncle jack

RIP Jack. Miss ya.

Garnish with a couple of slices of avocado 🥑. Wham!!!!!

Such a nice guy. Learned a lot about food from this guy. Cooking with the BLUES....................

Born a Michigander, Ive always admired his work ethic and Super success. Was it just me or was I the only one yelling, " Axl get some ham"!

I will always love how Daddy Jack never lets anything go to waste 👍

Very sorry for your loss Keisha. He was such a great guy and an amazing cook. RIP Daddy Jack.

So gutted to read that Jack isn't with us anymore... was getting more and more into these videos... He's brought us so many enjoyable videos, tips, and style in his cooking...Such a cool a guy. You'll be cooking such a feast up there and we're all jealous! Hope they've got your favorite blues tracks pumping out loud. Life can be amazing and beautiful.... yet it can properly kick you where it hurts when you hear legends like this guy taken far too soon. 😠😠😠😠😠

Damn, I miss him...My grandfather was a simple fry cook in a diner, but Jack reminds me of him..

I miss this man a lot.. one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

Rest in Peace. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with us

Truly a great chef I love his videos Rest In Heaven bro. 🙏🏼

Ham, Ham, Eggs, Bacon, Cheese and Ham. That's nice, but can I have a side of Ham with my Ham?

Chef Jack lives on through his cooking

Thank you for teaching me how to cook for my son. You will be sorely missed.

Simple food is the best food

Miss you Daddy Jacks and your videos. R.I.P.

Ouawwww ...!! très bon petit déjeuner 🥞 bravo et merci chef Jack .. amitié de France 🇫🇷

The man the legend. RIP my friend!

As I’m watching this it feels like he is still here . I still can’t believe he is gone . Miss him a lot.

Breakfast food is my favorite. Jack, this looks mighty good!

Sweetest man God ever blew a breath into. RIP Daddy

God Bless Jack and everyone he loved

Merry Christmas Daddy Jack. Thanks for all the lessons

Rip I feel like he's dad I always wanted he had this vibe makes you feel loved he cared to share his life with us I'm honored rip daddy jack

I just got a glimpse of that ham bone, and immediately got jealous! That Ham-bone will make the most beautiful and delicious soup anyone could imagine. I would make split-pea soup with it!

I like the idea of making the French toast for your eggs and ham. The eggs look perfect the way I like them. My mother used to make me when I was a kid regular toast and ham with a soft boiled egg so this brings back memories. Great cooking

Hello Lakisha ... I'm sorry if I didn't spell your name correctly ... I am visiting Cooking With The Blues to see Daddy Jack and pay my respect ... I was watching Old School Soul food with Chef Jeffrey and he dedicated an episode to Jack because he was so saddened with Jack recently passing away. I am sorry for your loss .. thank you for bringing Daddy Jack to the world ... I'm sorry I missed him, but I am thankful he leaves behind a legacy of delicious recipes. God Bless you dear and prayers for you to be strong and joyful in what you did get to share with Daddy Jack xoxo

Aw this one came across my feed tonite. RIP Daddy Jack.

Axel: "I notice you have food. I also like food."

Daddy Jack video's never get old. Watch him over an over.. God Bless Daddy J.

"One take baby" Jack. Absolutely zero fake. God Bless the good fella❤

At the end...'MONEY SHOT', LOL.....

I love you and your cooking becouse you are not acting its real you ,useing your hand for turning fried ham ,you know what im talking about, make peoples hungry ,good job man ,im in england

I love your style, Daddy Jack.

That was a great money shot. I love a nice runny yolk soaking everything else on the plate.

i just found your channel Daddy Jack. So sad you’ve passed on. you remind me of my father who passed in 2019-you’ve both got that same new england gruff & heart. he loved to cook as well, chili was his big thing especially during football season. he also liked doing stuffed bell peppers and ribs. think i’ll stick around this channel for a while

When he scooped up Bacon grease with the tongues.., I do that too, probably picked it up from the master himself. Glad you left us with memories.

Luv Breakfast food and eggs too! You are the best!. You can turn simple ingredients into a feast! Wow!!!
