The Day I Met The OMELETTE GOD (Jacques Pépin)

[@happydadgeek]

Don't apologize for "forgetting to film" most of dinner. You were doing exactly what you should have been doing. You were 100% present while in the company of your host during that once in a lifetime opportunity. You filmed during the business portion of the meeting and enjoyed yourself the rest of the time.

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

100% agree. There was something so engaging about this video...

[@xsawbonesx]

Very, very well said.

[@gilman96]

Perfect response

[@abracadaverous]

Exactly my reaction. He could either film or be present in the moment, and that was not a moment to be wasted.

[@philipcoriolis6614]

Filming is disrespect in emotional circumstances, or, worse, exploitation.

[@donaldfielding209]

I was lucky enough to study under Chef Jacques Pepin at FCI in NYC. He judged my final exam and critiqued it...then Handed me my diploma the next day. 2 Years later I was hired as the Liason for FCI and the pleasure of working with him and all of the world class Chefs that were the Deans at that time. What an Iconic human being and nothing but pure love and positivity. A period of my life I will never forget.

[@VijayARajendran]

Epic. Jacques is not just a great chef but an example of a life well-lived.

[@cameronjosemacleod2810]

Nah he’s a great chef and has lived a good life

[@hb7282]

I had the great good fortune to meet Jaques Pepin when I worked at Piret’s in San Diego, many, many years ago. He had taught a class in the cooking school side of the restaurant, and when the class was over he joined us in the kitchen and taught us all as if we were his friends. I learned many things from him that day, graciousness and kindness being as important as the culinary wisdom he shared so freely. A truly great person!

[@smzig]

What I admire most about Chef Pepin is that with his career and experience, he could have easily opened multiple Michelin starred restaurants and be an absurdly wealthy man. Yet instead he decided to do cooking shows on PBS, showing the average person that cooking delicious food isn't as hard and inaccessible as it seems. Some of my fondest memories when I was young is waking up Sunday morning and watching the PBS cooking shows with my parents. Watching the legends like Jacque Pepin, Martin Yan, and Julia Child.

[@TheM750]

Yan Can Cook! I forgot about that show!

[@malcontent_1]

...and the Frugal Gourmet 🙂 I had a similar experience to yours, growing up watching those transformative & entertaining shows on PBS with my mom. I'm also glad my local station (KQED/SF) is now reposting many of them on KZbin.

[@nate-the-fate6584]

Yess🙋‍♂️. She made cooking shows what they are today.

[@HayTatsuko]

The thing that's always struck me most about Jacques Pépin is how wholesome, nice, and funny he is, and how delighted he is to share his culinary knowledge with everyone. His shows were always my favorite cooking shows when I was growing up, and they .... well, I'm also a fan of Alton Brown thanks to his offbeat and highly entertaining style, but Mr. Pépin will always hold a very fond place in my heart -- and so will you, because I've had as much joy watching your videos over the years, for much the same reasons I adore Mr. Pépin and his work.

[@Cynsham]

Very humble, very down to earth, very kind, and an absolute world class chef on top of all that. Those are the reasons I love to watch Jacques

[@gentlemanscholar2314]

Alex, I think this might be my favorite YT video ever. I am so happy you got this opportunity...but also not terribly surprised, just knowing what a good guy Jacques is. Not just the greatest living chef, but one of the best all-around people, too. You got to play boules with the man, received a personal cooking lesson, got to watch Jacques cook all day, and were invited to stay for dinner with Claudine and Rollie and the family. What an amazing experience -- ty to Jacques, and ty for sharing.

[@majcrash]

I was wondering if that was Claudine. I haven't seen her in a video since the late 90s, when Jacques made a series of videos with her.

[@thomassmith1048]

This might actually be one of, if not, my favorite KZbin videos ever. The cross over between Jacques Pepin, a man and chef I've been looking up to and watching my entire life, and you Alex, someone I've been rooting for and watching grow over your years on KZbin. It's honestly almost surreal. And it makes me so happy to see Jacques still so full of energy and passion for life and food. Thank you to you and Jacques (and his team) for making this happen. It's priceless to have videos like this showing the human interaction and pass-down, not just a planned show (which i still love to death.)

[@npbuds]

That was your golden moment. Very few people get that opportunity to have a legend welcome you into their home and train you in such a humble manner. Jacques is a legendary gentleman and true treasure for society.

[@WalksAlone]

Jacques Pépin ist the real reason why France and the US don't go into a Cold War with each other. The perfect ambassador of culture without pretension. Now, not only is he the Grand Senior of the American culinary Haute Culture (he literally wrote the book...), but he also processes the single most imitated (massacred) accent in home cooking 😎. Thank you for sharing a wonderful litte episode. 🙏

[@gasparweiler559]

C'est hilarant de voir deux Français se parler en anglais. J'adore. Merci pour cette vidéo !

[@MrKmoconne]

I admit, I wanted the conversations in French with subtitles.

[@HaileyArsenia]

J'aurais aimé qu'ils parlent plus en français. Une si belle langue.

[@italiana626sc]

Oh, I love Jacques Pepin!! To hear him say that more technically trained chefs might produce relatively lousy food, while some home cooks who are less technical may have a better palette was an absolute revelation from someone at his level!!! ❤❤❤ And how forgiving he is that he "sometimes" cooks it more creamy - but it's a matter of the cook's taste. What a wonderful person he is, to be at his level and still recognize that his opinions on food may not be the pinnacle. Just phenomenal.

[@cloudwatcher608]

I teared up at the end there. I’m not sure why exactly, just that I can feel even through the screen the amount of warmth and care this amazing man has not only for his craft, but for everyone who will eat and enjoy and be nourished by his food. Thanks for the wonderful video

[@alexandermold8586]

Jacques Pepin and Julia Child were two people who got me into cooking. I have had the pleasure of meeting him once when he did a book signing years ago now and he was such a well spoken person. I am glad you can cook well enough Jacques Pepin said you were good.

[@FunAtDisney]

So true! We have been lucky in the US that long ago Jacques made this his home and started doing public television shows decades ago!

[@barney6888]

We all love Jacques, like a family member or a friend. He's so generous in how he shares his gifts and knowledge.

[@watrgrl2]

Wow! What an opportunity you had with this warm, humble, master and world wide icon of French cooking! He was probably happy to invite a fellow countryman into his home! Thank you for sharing this wonderful time with Mr Pepin with us!

[@Allegedly_Angel]

As someone who has been on my own egg/omelette journey, it's a privilege to have you share yours with us along with all the time you get to spend with legends 🙏 Thanks, brother

[@davekurdell1690]

What an absolutely amazing experience you had with this culinary genius!!! Chef Pepin has been an inspiration to me for years, from his days with Julia Childs on PBS to his wonderful "cooking at home" videos. And to hear he is as genuine and kind as he appears is no surprise. Thank you for sharing this video, but I gotta admit, I'm jealous AF that you got to spend that time with the legend!!! To cook with Jacques Pepin in his home.... What an honor.

[@marshhag9545]

The omelette videos from yourself and Jacques changed my life. I can't go to a friend's house without them asking me to make them an omelette.

[@pauloamw]

What an honor. Jacques is the chef I learn the most from on youtube because his repertoire of recipes is versatile and fuss-free - and of course the technique.

[@MotoHikes]

What an absolutely charming gentleman, who has every right not to be with his level of skill and reverence. I wish there were more in the world like him

[@TracySwingKid]

I was so emotional watching this! I used to watch Julia and Chef Pépin cooking together. They both cooked with love, but Julia was a home chef and Jacques was a professional chef. The way they respectfully disagreed with each other was legendary. It was a gift to watch them cook together. I loved the he continued to cook from home during Covid. I looked forward to his videos. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@bunszilla]

An honor to meet such a cooking legend. Thank you and congratulations, this was such a wholesome way to see Jacques.

[@TheColorofLight]

Even though he's French, he's an American treasure. I've been watching his cooking shows for years. Thanks Alex.

[@FlavorofMind]

Total treasure - to America and the world!

[@tjenadonn6158]

The greatest gift France has given to the US since the Statute of Liberty.

[@RicardoRibeiro1978]

Sometimes people say don't meet your heroes. I guess it depends who your heroes are. What a joy and honour it must have been! Jacques really seems like a wonderful person and really understanding of what home cook and enjoying food is all about.

[@InXLsisDeo]

It's about love, and Jacques exhudes love. That's the secret ingredient of the chef.

[@Danny-oi8yl]

To this day 30 40 years later I can still remember chef Pepin holding a chicken by its drumstick and then carving it into its basic pieces above the cutting board. It's still blows my mind to this day and I Will always respect and love this man for his mastery on the culinary muse.

[@tonyfletcher2541]

What an honor to have spent a day with Jacques Pepin! Watching he an Julia Child together was always a joy. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

[@kennychiang9239]

I love making omeletes. I do it very similarly to how Alex does it and it felt like Jacques was telling me directly how I can improve my technique. This episode is very heartwarming. Jacques is such a humble welcoming person.

[@Koreanaperez]

I grew up watching pbs & kqed. There were times when there wasn’t anything interesting to watch on pbs kids. And most of the time the grown up pbs & kqed were quite boring to me..however I always found comfort and joy whenever they would show Jacque Pepin’s show. I soon would get excited seeing his shows! His warm voice and accent, the way he handled food and how amazing they looked as well! He is beloved by many i’m sure, I being one of them 🥰. I’m so glad to see that he’s doing well and still cooking!

[@RealMacGyver]

I've learned so much from watching Jacques Pepin on PBS, and from your channel as well. He's always seemed extremely down to earth and excited to share with you what he's learned about making good food. A quality I think you share with this legendary man. It's just awesome to see you both meeting together! Congratulations! What an honor!

[@royaltyb1837]

Jacques Pepin is one of my favorite chefs. I’ve been watching him cook for years on PBS since the Julia Child days. He’s right on the account that some home cooks are sometimes better than the trained chef. I believe my Mom was definitely the best home cook. Everything she made was cooked to perfection topped with a big dollop of love. I’m so very envious of you to have met Chef Pepin but, Thank you for sharing with us a glimpse of your wonderful meeting with him. Amazing Video..

[@vikimoody8783]

I just found your channel in my feed yesterday! I love it! Fun, interesting. You are humble yet full of experiences you share. From the USA, you are the only French Guy I “know”, I hope all French guys are like you. I’m going to watch all your videos over this winter.

[@ShovaSG1]

I always loved on his show when he had Claudine make something. She would just do things without thought and his reactions were always of disbelief at what just happened, and she would just laugh and continue on ignoring any critiques.

[@phlogistanjones2722]

They were simply a delight together. Father and daughter and he treated her like an embarrassing parent does in public. It was simply a joy and a pleasure to behold. And yes, she cared not one whit! She too was just joyous. CHEERS!

Jacque is the king !!!! I have interviewed him while in culinary school, and have had cooking classes with him a perfect gentlemen and professional always.

[@lawrenceortega8541]

To say that I am jealous of you would be an understatement. He is a national treasure as much as Julia Child. I feel he is the consummate culinary teacher and am very pleased to see how generous he was with you.

[@pkicng210]

Same here. Maybe its the French connection; Julia Child studied in the Cordon Bleu when she was at the OSS. Alex is speaks French and maybe Alex is Belgian. But Kudos, nevertheless because the education with the master is priceless. Alex make sure, you don't get to be forgetful when you grow old. Jacques had a stroke a couple of years back and he is just as eloquent and patient teacher.

[@bkf8166]

Delightful. Seeing you next to Jacque, I realized afresh what a kind and wonderful person you are. Thanks for your creativity and passion. (And kindness!) When I decided to conquer the culinary mountain of "the french omelette", I watched Julia (of course!), Jacque, Chef Jean-Pierre, and you. Over a period of 45 days, I made about 70 omelettes. It wasn't until about omelette 35-40 that I began to get really good, consistent results. I love Jacque's tip of banging to bring to the front. I will be using that one.

[@russellyoung8812]

It's so exciting watching a master being so generous with their time and advice.

[@tomlake6345]

I recently bought the DVD, “The Essential Pepin”. While watching, I noticed it wasn’t necessarily all about ingredients, rather TECHNIQUE! Throughout my culinary ventures, I realized while ingredients matter, it’s all about the HOW to do it right. The king of cuisine and a charming gentleman!

[@ShiNoNaiHasu]

The dude invited you to play with him, i'm melting for how wholesome this encounter was. Happy that you both became part of eachothers' life

[@julesdarmon]

Woow Alex c'est incroyable ! I watched Jacques Pépin's omelet video more times than I can count and your take on it 5 years ago is what made me follow your stuff. I'm so happy that you finally got to meet him, he's such a class act and an amazing person and chef. Bravo man, ça déchire :)

[@prodesign8189]

At 53, I have to say Jacques was the chef that impressed on me most as a child. Watching him on tv with my mother he was inspiring me to take up cooking as an art form like painting, but the benefits of the finished art project filled your tummy in the end. I have been cooking all my life now because of icons like him. Life's greatest moments are when one creates great food to share with loved ones.

[@DJ-nn6vg]

Jacques is a legend! His ability to connect with the audience is amazing. Rick Bayless has this talent as well. It’s a genetic superpower you can’t teach it.

[@paulrlecroy]

Jacques Pepin is the reason I started cooking for myself, kitchens and trying to make things taste good. Maybe I should say, I started cooking different things and cooking things I wanted to cook and make them taste good. I have shown this man's videos, shows, shorts, and cooking techniques to many people. If you want to see sometime special watch him debone a chicken without video cuts.

[@phoebus00]

This actually brought a tear to my eye, must be such a surreal experience to meet the man and just get to hang out. Well done!

[@Dee-Breezie]

He is the reason that I became so attracted to cooking. Only a home cook, but he was my inspiration. My favorite part of that video was when you were looking at a couple of books and he reaches over and put his hand on your arm. What a great feeling that must have been to have such a giant make that connection with you. Great video.

[@jafstraycat]

Jacques is looking great! What a great honor to be invited to share a meal in his home!

[@Sinic818]

I remember watching him on PBS when I was a kid. When I got older I started watching Anthony Bourdain's shows and how he would talk about his reverence for Jacques Pepin. Now I watch his youtube videos at least once a week. Alex, I am happy you got to meet him and bring him to more viewers who may not know who he is. Thank you. Great video.

[@ossirioth]

Your omelette challenge was the first video of yours i saw and inspired me to make my first omelette at age 43, ive been making them every other lunch time since. Super creamy cheese 3egg french style, you even showed me how to get the demi-lune serving technique down patt! So glad you met such an icon, perhaps a few chefs will track you down over the next few decades and recount how you inspired them!

[@Reygissify]

Im following Alex for years now. Everytime he uploads a video i get excited and i safe it for a couple of days when i have to, so im able to watch it in complete silence and peace after some very productive days. In the best case scenario im even able to cook something i love for me and my family and eat it while im watching Alex´s video . For me Alex has become what Jacques Pépin is for him. I just cant describe it but there is no other content creator that gives me this feeling. The amount of love that goes into this videos and food is just one of a kind. Thank you so much Alex for everything you do for us. So much work and you still keep going like it´s your first day.

[@espikytube]

Jacques is an absolute legend which I got to know through you Alex back at the omelette video! He makes everything look so simple and effortless, it truly is a sign of the mastery of cooking, which can only be accomplished when you dedicate your life to the craft.

[@maxgarnov5799]

In my opinion best episode you've done so far! While all your crazy engineering and travel is amazingly inspiring as is your constant desire to improve, seeing one of my own personal heroes living a warm life he deserves brought tears to my eyes. Playing boules is a warm childhood memory for me, and it's awesome to see Jacques Pépin any day.

[@Hfgh564]

Doesn't teflon pan get heavily scratched by fork? You wouldn't cook omelette these days on old school pan right...?

[@Jussi_Kalliomaki]

I was wondering the exact same thing, they really do be using a metal fork on a nonstick. It hurts me to look at that. We got enough pfas in our bodies already, no need to scrape them purposely on the food.

[@kennyvelez]

I was wondering that too. Might be another material. I have one that is non stick, I think something steel, starts with a C but even so, I still don't use metal with it.

[@LizZard1988]

the trick is to not hit the pan with the fork directly. The scraping sound only comes from the bottom of the pan over the burner. The omelette has a smooth outside, so it is not disturbed by the fork. Just another example of the great technique used

[@jzgame1]

I just came across this video, and it was very timely. I attempted my first French omelet today! Before doing this, I watched an old Jacques Pépin video--again, and again and--well, you get the idea. The technique involved is definitely a bit tricky. But, I did get a pretty decent result. I used fresh tarragon, and the omelet was quite delicious. I can't wait to try it again. BTW, what an incredible experience you got to have, spending time with M. Pépin! He seemed so gracious.

Chef Jacques Pepin was one of my favorite shows and reruns still are and I loved him including his daughter and granddaughter on his show. He seems like a wonderful family man and a humble nice person. 👍

[@martinignaciocostabalcasti9869]

The lesson I took from this: - Alex: What could I do to make this perfect? - Jacques: Just make sure you hit the pan so hard that you break it, and you scrape the surface of the pan so hard with the fork that you end up destroying it and swallowing a great deak of the pan's metal. That Jacques Pépin should be commercially promoting pans that can handle his omelette recipe...

[@Quazlyy]

Receiving the undivided and well-intentioned attention of a master you admire is a great honor. Congrats Alex!
