Classic Swedish Meatballs

Dedicated to the memory of Mr. Jim Stidfole.

[@tarquinbullocks1703]

The big guy is sadly missed. At least we have the videos.

[@michaelsayre1273]

I absolutely love this guy .., I learned so much from his video’s May God BLESS him .. I truly miss him..

[@comcfi]

Thanks for demonstrating Swedish meatballs. This is the exact recipe that authentic Swedish meatball recipes call for.

[@markmgrdichian6730]

Yeah the sour cream (instead of heavy cream) and chicken broth (instead of beef broth) is what my mom did. She also fried a piece of bacon to mix with oil for frying. Im trying to recreate this now that she's gone. Thanks for posting.

[@mikaelberkvist7757]

Far from authentic!

[@justinfrehs3053]

Love this guy. Cooks like an old school chef. Loves to cook. Knows flavors and balance. None of this was trendy when he learned it. Cooks like all the old cooks I used to work under way back in the 90s.

[@zdframes]

Although I credit my swag in the kitchen to daddy jacks im still kicking myself for not getting a chance to stop by and meet the legend. ill see you in heaven!

[@lispmachine9687]

Real life cooking. No bs here. Loved it.

[@p-millz]

Everybody stop complaining about how he doesn't give amounts or temps and just watch him cook. This guy is a boss in the kitchen , nice job

[@3vilElvis]

i saw some of his videos..he should be jailed for his recipes! absolute crap

[@amyb6747]

I agree!

[@Boatswain1985]

Same way I cook,, I never measure anything. I could make all these recipes just by watching,,

Simply amazing to watch this guy in the kitchen. The pace that cooks like him work at is incredibly fast paced.

[@Redefining-Doug]

I love watching his videos. I'm glad his videos are still up. You could tell he really enjoyed his craft and the people around him. I'm from Missouri, and I regret I never made it to Connecticut eat at his restaurant, but he inspired me to up my home cooking game that's for sure.

[@leonardburns1780]

jack im in love with your stove i havent seen one like that in 40 years and it was such a dream to work on thanks ehhh

[@jumbojetliner]

This guy is great!!

[@robwilson9342]

He was made to cook

[@terrywickham781]

All I can say is awesome ;0)!! It is hard to decide what to make first of your recipes, lol ;0).

[@billnunes46]

I live on Cape Cod and usually don't have anything nice to say about Connecticut... NYC's parking lot! I drive to New Haven and take the metro into NY, that's pretty much my exposure to CT... In fairness they probably don't have a lot of good things to say about Massholes... I was looking for a recipe for Swedish meatballs and came across this guy... he's the coolest dude on the planet! What a sweet man! I love the way he treats his employee's and his customers... promotes local businesses, takes care of his people... It's pretty apparent that he knows his way around a kitchen (nice kitchen too, wish I had one like that) I made a version of this recipe that came out great, the sour cream is a great idea, it really makes the dish! Thanks Chef!

[@martinbrand6652]

He's inspired me. Deep respect!

[@FallingInLine]

I love the family atmosphere. The videos aren’t overproduced. I can watch all day. Actually...I’m pretty sure I have. 😆

[@chaplinsrestaurant]

Glad you like them Morgan, I have fun doing them. I call it "The Perfection Is In The Imperfection". No Mics, lights, makeup, raw stuff not that sanitized pretty white teeth Food Network stuff. Down and dirty just like the cooking game. Blessing, Jack Become A Member Of “Cooking With The Blues” patreon.com/cookingwiththeblues

[@electriquephoto]

Looks fantastic!

[@RootsMilitantSound]

That sounds like a very nice thing you guys do with the christmas breakfast for the homeless folks, and especially making all their omelettes specialized to order with what they want. I would imagine it could be a little bit of a comforter when someone is having those very hard times, seeing that someone cares.

[@The1badh2]

Am hooked on your channel I've made 2 dishes and it brought me straight back to my youth growing up Italian ,, BTW you could be twins to my Uncle Anthony seriously you belong in my familia ,,, your simply great and I've shared several of your videos and am creating a uproar with my Familia and Friends with your dishes ! Much love XOXO

[@tharrison0043]

I have to try this dish,it looks so good.

[@donnabrown1679]

Love the local Artists.... Thank you for his introduction...

[@milkteanomnom]

That's a real chef right there. Someone who's been cooking for years upon years can cook up something like that in one pan, and have it done in 30 minutes. I love cooking, and I've doing it since I was 8 years old. I don't even use recipes, except for baking as that takes science to bake something perfectly. I almost became a pastry chef, but then I injured my spine a few years ago when I was 25, and now I can't bake very well anymore. It takes a lot of back muscle to do it proficiently. I do still like to cook though from time to time, and I plan on making these Swedish meatballs. I'd love to see the east coast, as I live in Oregon, and we don't have as much history here. Great video, please make some more cooking videos! またね！☆〜（ゝ。∂）♪

[@donmaime522]

These videos are gold. I dont know about swedish meatballs, but allspice is a must!

[@John-pg3pi]

Salivating looking at this

[@jozefalypka3690]

Those might not be Swedish meatballs but the seasoning with little garlic and green onion, salt and pepper looks delicious. I will try this in my kitchen. Great chef!

[@td-ce9fn]

I hope to see you if I'm ever in town. I'm making these tonight for dinner... You are an awesome & entertaining Chef.. 7-28-18

[@userfoxy1978]

We like your style Daddy Jack. Thanks for tricks of the trade you have shared. We are better cooks for it.Im sure this one will be as good as your seafood stuffing recipe,

[@911dispatcher1956]

I could eat a plateful of those meatballs! I live in Northern Mississippi and wish I could go there.... Maybe some day.....

[@hollandfocus]

Interesting combination. A Yankee in King Carl XVI's Court. Not entirely true to the country's most popular version but, definitively moderated to his restaurant's Chef and personalized taste.

fantastic Jack. I will give those meatballs a shot next...............

Looks good! but that's quite far from being "swedish" meatballs, but he is on piont with th lingonberries. But it looks really good.

James looks like he’d be a blast to hang out with.

[@brunosbay7671]

Ya always have a good crowd to taste the goods! Go Daddy Jack. Its a long way from Cali but man do i want sit at your table with some spirits and your vittles

[@blbcr8767]

I have made and have loved everything he has put on before this. On this one, I just don't know, though. His clam sauce is absolutely delicious, as is everything else he has taught me. The only thing that really bothers me is that the oil was already burned in the pan when he put the meatballs in, but, of course, maybe it could just be the coloring on my computer. Would never insult this man. He is a true cook!!

[@lisaharrod8386]

I love that there's no measurement and weighing everything! Look at how uniform the meatballs are...just by hand and feel. This man was a kitchen god!

[@nmacog]

They look incredible - definitely gonna try these !
