I really got a kick out of Jacque and his friend Claude interaction. The food looked delicious and conversation entertaining.

[@johnbgriffinjr116]

True chefs are notorious for busting each other’s chops… no doubt they spent many hours creating together 😊

[@joannaedwards6325]

And both sooo handsome 😋

[@chrisandersen5635]

Jean Claude!!! They’ve been friends for like a thousand years. They literally cooked and baked for Le Président Charles deGaulle in the 1950’s. And still friends and accomplices today. If we could all be so lucky…

"You're really pushy today, aren't you?" First thing I thought was, "Wow, he's Jacques and Jacques is Julia."

[@paulwagner688]

Jean-Claude is a treasure. He always is fun when he is featured on Chef's videos.

[@MariaH.-op4zi]

Their friendship is beautiful

[@marjnussby8305]

But, when you serve it, it's ugly! Love you, Chef Claude! And, it looks delicious!!

[@chaddawgpanisi294]

[@garrygosney2455]

I started watching Jacques Pepin in 2022 I stumbled upon him looking for food videos .. I was totally amazed by him and his history of food .. everything about him is so overwhelming.. Garry @ Geraldton western Australia... I now have a dream to meet him in person

[@stdpm]

One of my favorite episodes of my all-time favorite cooking program. And Jean-Claude never disappoints.

[@jwilliams8210]

Excellent! Love the interaction between the friends!

[@matthewbbenton]

A recent New York Times feature story about Jacques Pépin stated (erroneously!) that Jean-Claude had passed away. Not sure how that happened, but he’s still around!

[@user-uk6gn8cw7m]

Excellent chef, making things look easy and yet delicious, down to the earth and very well explaining the procedure! Well done chef, greetings from Athens, Greece 🇬🇷

When mushrooms are added to any dish you know you're in for a flavor bomb

[@redcardinalkitchen]

Beautiful knife skills, wonderful food, great performance, thank you and God bless

[@apartmentcookery]

You really do learn alot from Jacque. He has years of experience and you can see it. I have been watching Jacque since the beginning and he has made me a better cook. Thank you.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Oh Chef!!! I just remembered!! It’s just about almost your birthday 🎉 Happy birthday!!🎁

[@erikschultz6865]

And darn if he doesn't have the most beautiful serving dishes.

[@sundok1]

Yes indeed Fred great to see them being grumpy together. Man it's the love for food that is somuch represented. And i love the way jacques mentions evolution in cooking. its not only the same heavy acient recipes forever. take the good and make it better, right

[@marjnussby8305]

Beautiful tomato! I'll be using a low carb pasta, or spaghetti squash. It's the walnut tart that I crave! As always, thanks Chef!

[@billy4072]

He's not wrong about the goats cheese👌

[@bigpoppa1234]

Comes onto Jacques show. Calls his dough wet. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves.

[@stephengonzales3276]

Thank you for sharing 😂

[@xjAlbert]

Heartwarming 👍🏻

[@TheNumberTwelve]

Aw, Claude seemed nervous, brought back memories I’m sure working under his old boss from his youth lol Jacques must have taught him a lot throughout the years cooking for de Gaulle

[@matthewferroni6003]

love

[@DARINWADEX100]

Master Pepin home chef my favorite I still have VCR videos had to convert them to DVD I have 45 episodes

[@kqed]

That's impressive.

[@jfbaker5351]

Which president are they talking about, did they mention?

[@insertclevername4123]

If I recall correctly, he cooked for Charles de Gaulle before moving to the States.

[@pietbandiet5833]

Jaques and the other chef had some moments of the past spelled out😂

Barbie has never been my thing. But this interaction with JC was barby. Now barby, that I can get behind. Oh, and just _don't_ with your "get behind Barbie" jokes. I mean, I see them hypothetically, and they're kind of funny. OK, they're hilarious. I walked into it. But let's be adults here. You comedic geniuses. You _are_ funny though. I don't _not_ mean that. But this video was posted by KQED. That's a family operation. Well, I _think_ it is. It's four capital letters. Seems like a thing.

@KQED Do you have archives of actor, the late Victor Wong, when he was a news anchor of Newsroom?
