The difference between Kay and Jack is that Kay is willing to take constructive criticism and is willing to learn and try again. She admits her cooking isn't perfect. She doesn't have the huge unearned ego that jack has.

Jack likes cooking terrible food. Im sure he knows its bad but people like watching him make it.

I think his cooking is pretty bad, but I can understand not taking criticism when it seems to come from channels that are just making fun of him. James actually has honest feedback, but other channels only want to laugh at Jack.

I ate buttered shrimp and biko ( a sticky rice dessert) before watching this. I'm a pre-medical student so I can tolerate disgusting things but this is different. And for the canned food being bloated, it has a very good chance that bacteria grew inside because of bad packaging and it could send someone to the E.R. and it also smells like sewege water mixed with freshly drop wet diaper.

There's a Malaysian Chinese stew that are similar to this called Chai Buey (roughly translate to leftover dishes) or mustard green stew, where we cook the leftovers (mainly meat), but we don't just throw anything we have in it, the base is made with pickled mustard greens, fresh mustard greens, dried chili and dried asam gelugur (tamarind slices). It's a spicy acidic dish that are usually made after Chinese New Year Eve dinner (which leftovers are plenty).

[@alenwake3445]

We have something like this in our house too, but as you said it's about using the left overs in the proper way, unless you want to waste energy to throw everything out in a different version lol

There is nothing similar about the garbage stew with anything thats eaten by man. The garbage stew is something that youd eat if you were an alien pretending to be a human.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy New Year!!

[@VenathTehN3RD]

There's definitely nothing wrong with using leftovers to make a meal in of itself, it's just his method of "take everything you have, throw it in a pot at the same time, cook for four hours" that makes it seem...blegh. I've combined various leftovers to make a single meal plenty of times before, especially after holidays, but I don't think I've ever just taken every single leftover item I have and just tossed it in a pot for hours on end. I'm trying to make a decent dish out of leftovers, not prison loaf.

[@sarahpauline4904]

My grandmother often made soup out of random leftovers, but not just random foods, it was made with things that made sense together at least. You can get a lot of mileage out of small portions of veggies that are left in the fridge that need using by including them in a soup.

[@assassin_eclipse]

As far as your Cooking with Jack pilgrimage goes, you still have a few more stops before completion: 1. More chicken videos, for example his dry/wet brine chicken videos (you already know how they end lmao) 2. The Church Chilli video 3.

[@davoap1268]

I remember from secondary school when I was in a cooking class it was vital to clean as you go while preparing food to manage in saving time and reduce idalling (as in doing nothing). My teacher gave me a firm telling off for leaving dirty, unused utensils and mixing bowls in the sink after ive finished cooking, saying its caveman behaviour and shows no consideration for myself and for others. Though she has long since passed since a few years ago, i cannot get her firm scolding out of my mind everytime, but it taught me on being accountable and caring when it comes to preparing food and cleaning up equipment to ensure lasting reusability.

[@pokebros6416]

Happy New Year James!! Please remember James isn’t trying to attack Jack, he’s only giving his point of view as a professional Chef(spoiler alert there’s nothing about Jack’s videos that’s very… positive). Also I’m pretty sure Jack didn’t have any knife skills back when the Salad video came out so he had to use a Slap chopper. Edit: Another thing is that Jack’s channel was made around the time KZbin was created so I’d say most of his Subscribers are to say the least MIA.

[@RoseDawsonworld]

we can review thousands of videos labelled "the worst cooking" but let us be honest here. The people who are at fault are the ones who engage with this content and encourage creators like Jack and Kate to put more of it out by watching and subscribing. This leads me to believe that there a a LOT of people cooking like this at home with Jack and Katye being among the few that have the courage to put themselves out there.

Quite frankly I agree with you 99%. I’ll explain: The 1% is just my wishful thinking and preference to think about all people as having at least a small amount of common sense and hoping he’s satirizing cooking videos on the internet. The 99% is me not finding any sign of the 1% despite watching a ton of his videos in hope of finding anything that would at least imply Jack is joking. Jack is 99% the definition of dunning-Kruger to a tee. I’ll continue to keep the 1% and continue to look for any sign only to not lose faith in all of humanity

[@mattnar3865]

Nah Jack knows when he's eating bad food, he's just incapable of admitting he made something that sucks. If you watch his Aunt Myrna's party cheese salad video you can see it on his face that he thinks it's disgusting as soon as he tastes it but he carries on regardless.

[@annaone211]

Hahaha excellent comment. Made me chuckle.

[@julkap4190]

I wouldn't be surprised. I have schizophrenic brother who... and this is not the same for all patients, but it often happens... has some weird habits like only washing his hair (he didn't have a full shower in months). And no matter what we say we can't convince him otherwise. Luckily he is not THAT delusional as Jack, I at least don't have to worry about him getting poisoned. I really wonder what is the root cause in Jack's case. I don't think it's schizophrenia, it could be something else. Or he could be also just raised like this.

[@TheLikenessOfNormal]

The "Don't touch children" line hits hard because Jack admitted to almost strangling his son to death on a podcast.

Great review. Really funny. I read that he had multiple salmonella episodes and a stroke. Please people, dont eat like him. I give Kay much more credit. Her 3rd fried rice attempt, while still not great, proves she takes the criticism and has really tried to improve. You should check it out. Uncle Roger was actually relatively nice. 😊 Jack I'm afraid doesn't seem to realize that there is anything wrong with his recipes Sad. 😢

When she brought it out of the kitchen on the serving platter and placed it on the table, I thought, "Hey! She did a damned decent job for her first attempt", that is, until I saw the back end of the bird. There in the cavity opening, arranged in a circular cluster, were a bunch of hot dogs, stuffed in the cavity opening much the same way someone would do trying to smoke 12 cigars in their mouth at once. I was truly speechless, then after she removed the hot dogs, out came quartered potatoes and 3" stubs of carrots.

[@melikatalks7676]

Honestly, you're so right about the "ingredients going bad." Not only can it give you food poisoning, but even if you don't get sick, it will ruin the taste of the dish. It's just not worth it. Don't take advice from Jack.

[@vhfgamer]

Common sense says to not let the food get that bad. Use it up before it gets dangerous.

[@melikatalks7676]

@vhfgamer Yes, definitely. But common sense, unfortunately, doesn't always line up with the inconveniences of life. I've been guilty of this. You do the grocery shopping, you go to uni, get back home, go back to work, get back home, and you're too tired to cook it but to poor to order food and it goes bad and you feel guilty for throwing it out. It's not a good place to be in, but I don't think anyone out there does it intentionally.

[@melikatalks7676]

@vhfgamer I'd also like to point out the amount of guilt that most of us associate with wasting food in any shape or form. This is kind of a long story, but in my religion (Islam, but I'm sure this is true for many others), we are taught that food is sacred and wasting it is strictly forbidden. I honestly think drilling this point is one of the reasons people develop eating disorders. I personally have so many unpleasant memories associated with this. For example, in our kindergarten, the teachers used to tell us we had to "clean the plate so good that we could see our reflection!" I remember my father doing a whole routine every time something was about to go bad: a series of consecutive warnings that it was time to eat it. Finally, he would eat it himself (he did it to make a point to us). In our culture, we are told food is so sacred that even if you see a moldy piece of bread on the ground in the street, you have to pick it up and put it on a high place. Stuff like this is more often than not rooted in past poverty, but so often has the opposite effect than what it desires. So, while you are absolutely right about it being common sense (it seems stupid to eat something off); there's much more complicated underlying issues to consider. I.E. even tho I now know it's dangerous to "just cut off the mold and eat the rest," all my life I've been encouraged to do this to avoid food waste, which is quite dangerous advice!

I just wanted to tell you that since I started watching your channel I've learned a lot.. When I was younger I always did want to become a chef but of course that didn't happen .. I struggled with things such as drugs and alcohol .. I am now 10 years clean and sober now... I wish I would have followed my passion and went to culinary school but I just wanted to say thanks for putting these videos out because I have learned a lot and it has helped me to be inspired again Thank you..

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'm glad to hear that you put yourself on a better path. It's a good thing you didn't as drinking and drug abuse is very common with working so many hours. It's the culture to be aggressive, at least in some busy places.

[@AnuragSharma-ey8qh]

It's the first time hearing Chef James being not so kind. Happy new year

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy New Year!

[@TheEternaut]

"I am Jacks raging bile duct!" Watching you watching this makes me have a chef Tyler Durden monologue in my head! 😂

[@jackjoke2893]

Happy New Year! Wish you only the best, James!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

13:30 "hot dogs in stew?!?!" Budae Jjigae enters the chat

[@seanwallace9269]

If you want to take a dive into Jack's videos, i recommend his Church Chili video. It contains a whole lot of cooking don'ts

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

oh god the Brisket made me vomit. Those Church people needed Holy water after eating that

[@stevefleming4450]

Have a great new year fellow piper. Great content as always. Cheers

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy New Year!! :)

@Chef Makinson: regarding the "garbage stews" there are several versions of them worldwide, for exaple the "demolition waste stew" in S. E. Asia, using a mixture of leftovers from a previous big banquet or after the new year holidays, with some common fresh vegetables that can be inexpensively purchased in the market. As we can see it originates from economic concerns, as it is a cost-effective way for common family to not waste food and still cobble up a decent dish, under a skilled cook the demolition waste stew can be delicious. But there are rules, such as no fish in the demolition waste stew, or no fried and salty meats together in the stew. Moreover, some people added the over-fat parts of leftover meat (which is usually left due to the exceed amount of fat) into the stew so that the fresh vegetables can dilute the fat down to edible and delicious-able level. And of course there is no arbitray and careless mixture like in Jack's videos, as we have mentioned, the stews have rules and some ingredients simply don't match each others. Do you know about any delicious stew in Europe that make from mixtures of leftovers ?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yes we have a lot here!

[@malaladddd]

😆Actually Uncle Roger cut the same dangerous way... When I watch his cooking videos I close my eyes and pray for his fingers hahaha

[@marklock6421]

Ah ending the year on a bang Chef, great video, words cannot quite explain Jack lol.. hope you have a great new year

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you Mark! I hope you do too! :)

[@gedeuchnixan3830]

Personally I prefere a japanese chef´s knife over our western ones, the beluga whale tip tip of Santoku´s simply is a lot more usefull than the slim, western chef knives tip. A good cleaver also always has use in a kitchen, you don´t need an army of knives (knife block) just a few, certain good knives; 4 good knives usually do everything one needs at home. A Wüsthoff Superslicer cuts that down to two knives really needed, only really need one good, smal knife next to a Superslicer.

[@Stop_Gooning]

Chef knife of your preferred style, pairing knife, serrated knife and the cleaver is optional. A filet knife is also a good addition if you process meat or fish.

I find it ironic that the bullet chopper which later became the progenitor of the Ninja corporation of household goods… doesn’t match with your usage… chop onion takes time and skill, bullet chopper 30 seconds to rinse and people with arthritis can use it…

[@upamanyu.baishya]

I just Biryani for New Year after watching your Reaction to Chef Andy's Biryani recipe and it turn out to be quite good. Anyways Happy New Year.

[@busenthusiast6987]

Happy new year Chef James! Hope you can get 300K or more at the end of the year!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy new year!! me too!!! :)

[@alishaardiani4451]

Chef James : “Don’t watch this video after you eat heavy food or watch it with an empty stomach” Me : *watching while eating “Challenge Accepted”

[@kagaminelen247]

I was eating cereal and now im not eating cereal 🤢

[@TnT_F0X]

Beef stew from 2-3 day old roast beef... Perfectly normal. Rancid brisket in chili and garbage stew isnt normal. the turkey and bacon could have made great turkey salad... when it was one day old.

[@danielhall9965]

Hey Chef, Happy New Year, Enjoying this video ❤🎉

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy new year!!

[@kilmcm45]

My mother's father used to make food like this.....then every summer he'd throw a party with whole smoked pigs and a few that were basted in pineapple and cooked for half a day high over a large open flame pit. He would set our barrels of maraschino cherries soaked in grain alcohol that could light on fire.....one year he did 10 and I talked them into using the boozy cherry juice with the pineapple we basted it in....and a few sticks of butter just smooshed into its back about halfway through the BBQ. Then he'd blend sour creme ground beef mayo ketchup and pickles and eat it with soup spoon or spatula.....? I would shake my head in confusion....even at like 7. I would eat crispy pork skin for months after ever bbq....I would slice it and cook it with eggs for breakfast before I was in 5th grade. I'm not a chef but I grew up on a pig farm and I know how to cook meat slow to make it tender. I love pot roast... shepherds pie. Pork shoulder pulled pork.....I make my own BBQ sauce with black strap molasses, honey, grain alcohol, garlic, soy and brown sugar. Sometimes I'll try some ginger ahead of time and add to the slow cooker....as the fat renders you keep mixing with the thicker sweet sauces.....I've even added in fruit preserves....peaches being my preferred go to. I don't know why people consider congealed fat whipped together with protein? I'm so averse to mayo that I only like aolie if it's overpoweringly spicy....lemon aolie is intolerable to me. I do like pickles n kimchi but, I generally don't like things that taste like vinegar unless there a lot of other flavors covering it up.

[@jimmckay2337]

I wanted to vomit as soon as the mayo was mixed into the salad. Absolutely disgusting. Thanks for the warning Chef James.

[@MeLlamoSemi]

His methods are really very chaotic, but I don't see the harm in mixing those ingredients, maybe it's not the most normal combination on any cuisine xD but it could surprise in terms of flavor in the end

[@irissander5266]

Thanks for the heads up chef because I was about to eat while watching this.

[@j.d.ga.f.6857]

Happy new year, chef, thanks for one last "tasty" video before 2024! :)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Happy New Year!!

[@rushinroulette4636]

No stew with Hot dogs per se... but look up Fiakergulasch from Austria and it has sausages and eggs in it.

[@brini2439]

🎉 And it's a sooo so so beautiful, (heart)warming dish! I love it, but I also like the germanized version.

[@ohionative5237]

I was in my late teens when American pie was released. It was very popular. I found it to be an entertaining movie. There is something about Jack's intro music that also makes me think about it.The movie reminds me of my younger years getting out into the world and figuring out life.
