It is such a blessing that the Maestro, at nearly 90 years old continues to teach and share his wisdom. Merci chef! I hope to try this recipe soon.

[@beaubromley942]

I agree. I’ve been watching him for years and I’m so glad he’s still teaching.

A voice developed from talking and hands developed from work! Beautiful man beautiful work beautiful life!

Hey CHEF ❤. I love clams and oysters. Looks delicious 😋

[@zizzie4081]

Thank you Jacques. Looks delicious. I spent my childhood digging these clams in the Great South Bay, and may I suggest instead of wasting all that beautiful clam juice on your board, that you collect it in a jar, and freeze it or use it in chowder or spaghetti with clams. Precious liquor!

Thank you chef, out here in Montauk we call that size chowder clams.

[@pskully57]

Yummay! I wish I could get those.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Wow. So good!

Add the clam juice to the butter and hot sauce like the boss he is.

If you pick up anything from this video, it's wiping the little extra bit of Sriracha off with your finger and licking it. #1 it tastes great and #2 it prevents it from hardening on top and making it difficult to squirt next time.

Nerve endings in the fingers? Jacques? Mai non. The man is a God who walks among us mere mortals.

MADISON CHIVES!!!

[@QueennieMapula2000]

I want that apron.

[@JacquesPepinFoundation]

We love that apron too! Unfortunately, we no longer make that specific style, but we have a newer model available as a gift for donations made to the JPF: bit.ly/JacquesPepinApron

Absolutely love a hard shell clam in the summer. What a treat. That butter sauce looks amazing

[@selma5885]

I though cherry stone clams look rounder than that and smaller?

[@2cartalkers]

Poor things, they can't run away from the steam, they have no feet.
