Jacques is the epitome of hospitality and a humble entertainer. You can see even with him being interrupted constantly he still goes on with the recipe and throws a couple jokes in as well

[@baxill23]

Jacques is amazing but damn that woman is insufferable.

This man is a saint The natural goodness flows from him

[@snyderman001]

I make this all the time thanks to this man. The beauty of this dish is the infinite types of stuffing you can prepare.

[@julieenslow5915]

Being a Southern woman, I do understand the comments about Rachel's NY accent. But people, please be real. Most people are actually objecting to a confident strong woman who - while working with a legend - remains a confident strong woman. I am told NYers don't back down, they talk a lot, and nothing intimidates them. OK that is Rachel Ray. Get over it. She is adorable. But then I am a confident strong woman myself - albeit from the south so the accent is different - and when I am happy and excited I talk as much and as happily as she does. Does it look to you like she slowed the Chef down? Like he wasn't having a good time sharing his expertise? No. So realize if you have a problem with Rachel Ray - it's your problem, and probably due to you not being comfortable around such a woman. That's OK. There are shy, quiet ladies who deserve a good man too. My question is - can a man who can't watch and enjoy a strong woman interacting with strong people and having fun - can such a man be a gentle man with a shy quiet lady? Or must we just shoot him as useless. Enquiring minds want to know.

You’re capacity for delusion is breathtaking. Thinking a loudmouth obnoxious talk show host is obnoxious doesn’t make you sexist or racist. She wasn’t saying anything that contributed to the viewers’ understanding and her observations were idiotic and banal. There was no engaging banter worth watching in this video which is what the host is supposed to contribute. Loudly joking about her fondness for day drinking (wine and cheese club) and trying to claim the chef was into that was peak Rachel Ray. She honestly just seemed to get in the way of the Chef who was operating on a very unforgiving small block of time and pulling off one of the most complex techniques in butchering Chicken. If I think Steve Harvey mugging for the camera is obnoxious does it mean I don’t like Steve Harvey or that I don’t like successful black men?

He’s a chef and wonderful well mannered human being. She’s behaving as if she can cook better than anyone and if she would listen to the real chefs she actually may learn to cook something worth eating. Her recipes are like hamburger helper

The finesse of Mr Pepin contrasts so much with the lack of this woman

[@slackdaddy1912]

He makes it look so easy, but it’s only after a thousand chickens later. What a chef!

[@jbutle4]

Amazing. So quick - he makes look so easy...

[@woochatming9917]

Jacques did it in 5 minutes. I did it in 45 minutes even after tried 10 chickens. I need a lot more practices.

[@Halford666]

He cuts the cooked meat with the knife he used to cut the raw one without cleaning it.... Bravo.

[@stndrds79]

Everytime I have see him do this he always mentions u can do any stuffing you want but yet he always uses spinach as an example it seems he is partial to spinach

[@discokitty3375]

Just amazing he is he's the best master chef up there besides Julia(rip)and they worked so well together both have a lot of class rather than some chefs who aren't even in their league. I could see why he said she made him nervous. I wanted to say will you shut up already and stop yapping so much? Let the man do his work then talk all you want. 😅👨‍🍳

[@zone07]

That man has no feeling on his fingertips. Handling that hot chicken like it's nothing while it's still smoking.

this is not a roulade this is a balotine. a roulade is made with a single part of an animal not the whole animal. he even says at 0:45 'this is a galantine or balotine'

Way to ruin a JP show! RR is awful, massive phony!

It’s so cringeful to see an audience (and host) as base and uneducated about cooking whoop and guffaw to a chef as thoughtful as chef pepin. There’s no amount of money worth the indiginity of such a circus.

when she pronounces "crouton" with a fake French accent...I actually sneezed wine out of my nose! LOL

[@MJ202020]

Jacques is the master and is a great lead performer and really hosts need to be supporting or co-lead.. When they try to lead it looks distracting next to him. Watch Jacques and Julia Child that was really fun.

The Rachael Ray kind.

Hey! Comment section! Be nice! On the one hand, yes, Rachel is maybe a little bit out of her element, and yes I did come to the comment to see jokes, but you have to admit you would say some stupid shit too if you were next to THE Jacques Pepin cooking! She’s nervous. And Pepin visiting this show is a great thing. The next great chef could be home from school sick watching this show getting inspired!

[@jimmorrison714]
