Also do not know what pasta your using he's using penne not macaroni, also lasagna is layered sheets not a pasta bake wtf it's not lazy man's lasagna because it's just not lasagna it's lazy man penne pasta bake
The worst thing about jack is his arrogance, he makes Yorkshire pudding for the first time and acts like he's an authority on how they should be made. Kay's cooking may not be very good but she's humble about things she doesn't know even if she's filming herself do it.
Idk I don't get that vibe from Jack personally he just seems to be a household cook who's like "Here's my way of cooking (x)". He's still kind of arrogant but I've never gotten the impression that he thinks he's the authority on how food should be made
I can't wait for Jack to make his Lazy Man's PB&J. It'll probably be smashing whole peanuts and grapes together with a hammer, and about a pound of cheese.
The scariest thing about Jack's cooking is the fact he's cooking for kids. The school chili contest were he used rotten brisket should be considered a crime.
I remember Jack constantly doing this thing where hes like "im cooking for 40 people this time, so im going to take every shortcut possible and make something truly awful so that everyone within a 30 mile radius AND online knows how bad I am at cooking" Like, cooking for a crowd is the one time where putting extra effort into it is actually worth it.
yeah true he actually seems to purposefully cook extra bad when it's for other people, crowds and competitions. makes zero sense but alright that's jack, i guess. 😂
I think he's full of crap, I don't know what maniac(s) would want him cooking for their event or crowd. He reminds me of the neighbor or random guy who sees you cooking something on the smoker and asks what you're cooking, but you know it's just so they can do the playground one-upmanship thing. Neighbor/Guy: "Whatcha cookin'?" You: "Pork butt." Neighbor/Guy: "I just did 30 pork butts the other day." You: *Nodding* (and resisting the urge to yell, "Bullshit" at him).
@@mikebraun7971 I think that it can be more severe than one-upping anyone and he's probably a habitual liar at this point. Like when he told his mom that he wanted to knew the proportions because "the people in Germany are complaining" (like his comment section isn't usually disabled) then he tells his mom that he won't be using this footage in the video and includes it anyway with the part when his mom tells him not to. He's always cooking for some imaginary guests like people would want to eat his cooking again and again. It probably happens, but I doubt that they are coming again (maybe aunt Myrna). The same with that unfortunate chili. He hypes himself up so much that I bet in his mind nobody knows how talented he is but if only an expert tasted his food then they would know that he's a genius. And the fact how he refers to himself in plural form when he's cooking - "we will show you how to..." - like he has a whole camera crew, editors and producers. It could be even kinda funny if he wasn't a father.
Jack's from California, he later moved to Tennessee for tax reasons. Probably my favorite aspect of jack is that he genuinely equates himself to a chef or TV cook.
More than just tax reasons. He feels more comfortable in a state like Tennessee for mainly cultural and political reasons. Jack is an EXTREME Right-wing Conservative whose on the record supporting, among other things, the Genocide of Palestinians, the criminalization of Homosexuality, "Pastor" Maury Davis (a convicted murderer), and he also warns viewers to ONLY leave comments on his channel in English, so I can only assume his views on newly arrived immigrants are rather retrograde as well.
Jack makes me feel better because despite having minimal experience I still know how to cook for human consumption. Jack's gut biome is somewhere between a Denny's dumpster behind a cheap Motel, Chernobyl, and a biology class's hazardous material disposal.
The kid was a teen too. I thought it was a small kid, but he’s older. At least that’s what I learned from August the Duck. His videos on Jack are hilarious.
If you haven't already, you need to review Jack's chili. He uses a 18 month old slab of rancid green brisket for the meat, then enters it in a chili contest (suprise - he doesn't win).
"It's like wiping your ass and then taking a shit" took me out 😂 "The moisture is going to destroy the lasagna" LOL. But remember, water is the enemy of flavor, Brian 😉
Guys, thank you for saying baked ziti! I immediately thought that as well. It would be better if he only combined the pasta and sauce and then layer it all in the baking pan.
What I want to see: Chef Brian Tsao, Uncle Roger and AugustTheDuck in a single room react to a CWJ video that all 3 of them haven't seen before Could be difficult to search since August has reacted to at most a dozen of CWJ videos.
Jack is from California, but moved to Nashville over a decade ago. And to be honest, while I wouldn't call it a lasagna, the whole thing would rather classify as a pasta casserole. I somewhat remember watching that episode a decade ago, and it wasn't that bad. But I unfollowed Jack because he became too creepy for my taste on Twitter. And of course, I know better about him now. And I nearly forgot: The pasta he used looks like a shorter variety of penne rigate.
I really like the guest chef idea and sharing the pain/joy with someone else. It's a bit more engaging to have the banter and it looks like you guys had a great time.
there is definitely room for a cooking channel about how to quickly and effectively knock up easy simple meals like baked ziti for instance but i feel like jack can't be trusted with much after all the times hes eaten raw ass chicken on camera.
I sincerely hope that the teacher who’s allowing him to give kids food poisoning sees his channel and bans him. I think it’s very likely he left all that sitting out overnight.
I bet Jack didn't even check the mozzarella or ricotta if it was vegetarian because most cheeses(especially Italian cheeses due to the obsession with tradition) aren't vegetarian due to the use of rennet instead of a vegetarian alternative.
Oh man, reacting to Jack can keep you busy for a long time man. No shortage of content there. There's a bison burger that's pretty nasty. Some pressure cooker content. The church chilli... man. Jack keeps on giving, lol
For me a lazy man's lasagna is a lasagna, that doesn't need to cook for 4+ hours. I don't make a traditional lasagna, it is a bit more adjusted for the German pallet, which means more tomato and saucier (and in my case extra spices because i like flavour). I usually make my lasagna like this: 0. start in the morning 1. put bacon and minced meat in an enamelled cast iron pot and let it brown 2. finely dice Celeriac (it's cheaper and tastier than celery), carrots and onion and add it to the meat along with some tomato paste. 3. When it smells right (I don't know how to explain it better) add (red wine), tomato purée, bay leaf, oregano, nutmeg, thyme and a little bit of cinnamon and cumin, just a little, you won't taste it later, it just makes it taste better. 4. let it simmer until you need it, so for 4 hours or more if you want it for lunch, maybe stir it every hour or so, but you don't really have to. 5. add garlic, basil, parsley, pepper and salt to taste. 6. make a béchamel sauce, flavour with nutmeg and pepper, add some Italian hard cheese, I use grana padano because it is cheap. 7. assemble with lasagna sheets, that don't have to be precooked (the standard here in Germany). If you want it cheesy, and a bit more stable, you can add some cheese between the layers. 8. bake until the cheese on top is lightly browned, maybe 30 minutes If I am lazy, I don't wait for 4 hours and instead cook the... "ragout" / sauce on higher heat. You could dice the vegetables in a food processor, but I find cleaning the thing more annoying than just dicing the stuff with a knife. Mixing it all together obviously will taste good too, but if you do that, why don't you just eat Spaghetti with a bolognese sauce?
@@GGysar Lmao that is not what the vast majority of ppl do when they make lasagna, and you know damn well that wasn’t what I was talking about. If ppl do make a traditional ragu alla bolognese for their lasagna though, they most likely have that prepared in advance. You don’t have to make that traditional sauce to make lasagna. You can prepare a great pasta meat sauce from scratch in less time and ain’t nothing lazy about it.
@@BijinMCMXC I always cook my bolognese that long because it isn't more work, it just requires some planning. Prepare it in the morning, put in on the stove and it will be ready for lunch or dinner, whenever you want to eat it.
My mom made some sort of "stovetop lasagna" using mafaldine pasta. I think it was all the ingredients of lasagna, but served like spaghetti. But her technique was better than Jack's and it was pretty delicious haha.
Thank you for uploading this today. I've been up all night puking and only slept two hours. Now I gotta watch both the kids. You long windedly tearing apart a Jack video is precisely what I needed to make this day better!
Your friend's cool and chill. Loved the colab. And, yeah, I mean, that video from Jack is probably the best he's done. It's definitely 100% edible (not something you can say about most of his videos). I mean, I'd eat the hell out of it, for sure. But yeah... seems like it was baked ziti... of sorts.
It's not a positive in any way, shape or form. Reheated pasta can contain b. cereus spores that are highly toxic and can be lethal. It's as dangerous as raw chicken and maybe even more when it comes to numbers of people poisoned (which in the worst cases led to multiple organ failures and amputations) and even dead because of it. There are some ways in which you can reheat the pasta relatively safely but looking at the risks involved it's not really worth it.
Sometimes I wonder if Jack knows his cooking is terrible and he’s pranking us. But then, the man does eat nearly raw chicken, so that might be giving him too much credit.
I only remember one time doing this international food thing in school. Wasn't as diverse as you would think. Seeing as how EVERYONES PARENTS WERE MEXICAN. So we just had tons of Mexican food. Nothing wrong with that just kind of another day of eating home cooked food.
I'm no professional chef, but I always have a high-rated recipe for reference. I may tinker with it a bit for personal taste, but I follow it as close as possible. My philosophy is you don't need to be an expert at everything you cook, but have a handful of meals you can cook really well.
I love Jack's stare, when he tastes his dish... I always hear that modem-is-connecting sound (Beeeeeeeyuuuuuuuuu... pong ! pong !) dunring the half second period he stares in the void before saying "it's delicious !"
Ah, an Uncle Roger fan. This dish would make my Italian ancestors cry, and I don't have any. I used to live in ltaly, and I know good Italian cooking. This isn't it.
When I was a newly married wife who was working 40+hours a week and bringing work home and trying to raise kids. I because well versed in making a lot of fast meals for my family, I never made this, ever. My Italian step dad would have died of a heart attack if I did😂😂😂
So that meant we had Italian on the weekends when I could make a proper meal. We had leftovers into the week. Rest of the week we had whatever momma threw together. 😂
Love listening to you react alone but with a guest is a nice change of pace too. Great chemistry in this one would be cool to see him back on channel. Really enjoyed the one with your editor too!
I hate to admit that I made up a recipe in college that I've always called the "Poor Man's Lasagna", because you can get all the ingredients for about $15 and it'll feed you for a week. I have a fancier, more traditional recipe as well (most things are from scratch) that I make when I have guests. But I think my "Poor Man's Lasagna" might actually be even lazier than the one in the reaction lol. I sincerely apologize to anyone I'm about to offend with this recipe but here goes... I heat up jarred pasta sauce, brown some ground beef and throw it in the sauce. Then I just make layers of the sauce, dried lasagna noodles, sliced Swiss cheese, dollops of cottage cheese (instead of ricotta) and bagged low moisture mozzarella. Throw all that in the oven, covered with tin foil for 40 mins. Then take the cover off and add more mozzarella on top and cook until it browns. It only takes about 15 minutes of prep and assembly. If you don't have the time to prep a really good lasagna, it's surprisingly a lot better than something like Stouffer's or the other pre-made ones from the grocery store. But if you've got the time, definitely go with something a little more.... traditional. I apologize to everyone for releasing this sacrilegious recipe to world, but in a pinch it's a time and money saver!
We are waiting!!! Glad you include Uncle Roger in your videos since he got cancelled! It would be cool if you re-create the awful dishes exactly and taste them on your vlog to further analyze them better! I think that would be comedy gold!
Growing up one of my favorite dinners was something like this. We'd throw together white cheddar mac and cheese, ground beef, and spaghetti sauce. Then we'd cover it in cheddar cheese and bake it in the oven. We called it "poor man's lasagna."
Hey Chef Brian it was great to finally meet you. Hopefully you check out more of the Ocky Way Tic Toc’s. And Masterchef Australia Reynold aka the Desert King.
When I was very young, Dad tried making crock pot lasagna. Clearly, the first step is to cook the noodles. So he left them in there for 24 hours and then ditched the idea when he found grey mush the next day. Porridge has more texture and color than that did.
I'm confused. Lasagna are sheets of pasta, those are Pene. And Maccaroni are small tubes. Also if you want to make Lasagna, you need the meet to better solidify everything. Vegetarian lasagna will not hold as well.
Ed is hilarious dude. I Love your guest man! After I ran out of Uncle Roger videos I really started hitting these ones. Definitely good content, thanks Chef!!
This video was great. I like how Ed's dry take (presumably from confusion) paired with your willingness to dive into the marvel of ineptness that is "Cooking with Jack." Thanks for the laughs.
I mean, that's literally the definition of lazy cuisine. Just pile the ingredients into a bowl. And mix it together. It's definitely not "nachos" or "lasagna" because these dishes have their own names but it's all the same ingredients.
So, Uncle Roger correctly stated when reviewing Jamie Oliver that when you make ramen, you need to use ramen noodles. To make lasagna, you need to use lasagna noodles. otherwise it's just pasta. Lasagna is built up in layers, not mulched together. it's baked. it has seasonings in it. This barely qualifies as pasta.
@@SehrDummerAccountNam I haven't looked into him too much, but he did accuse his church congregation of cheating at a chili cookoff because he lost. Not the most egregious thing, but definitely sets a tone.
I want to know how many kids were in that class. Man made enough food to feed a small army. But on another note, I really enjoy you doing reacts with guests!
The worst lasagna on earth, is the one that woman made in the dish washer, with the recycled spaghetti sauce. That should be considered a crime against humanity.
The whole point of lasagna is the distinct layers and that it gets baked, at least do one of those two things, ideally both. This is not lazy mans lasagna, this is crazy mans lasagna.
Let’s be honest, No one is safe from Jack. Whenever there’s a family event or any sort of event where he cooks everyone is doomed. But Ed was a great addition for this episode! Would love to see more episodes from him, especially seeing the monstrosities of Jacks Cooking and how he developed his signature Iron Gut
I'm confused how this isn't just a pasta meal, rather than specifically lasagne Edit after watching the video: That's basically what we call in the UK a pasta bake. Pasta with extra cheese on top grilled in the oven 🤷
I'm almost halfway through this and....as an Italian I'm MORTIFIED at what I'm seeing. I'm no pro chef, but I know my Italian cuisine. He's making BAKED ZITI that freaking looks like penne vodka!!! And his kitchen looks like something out of Blue's Clues! Uggggh, can't WAIT to see how this ends😩🙄
While funny to rip good ol' Jack, over the years I learned how cooking itself is not something that comes natural, some things make no sense or just flat out work out of the norm: you need to be teach on how to cook at the end of the day, even simple things. Jack's problem is how he never, ever move from square one even when info of cooking is far more accessible nowdays and after clearly getting a stroke for his horrible food. Im not a fan of reaction channels but this one is tame, not fake and overhype, keep the good work.
ua-cam.com/video/FEW2ft8w34c/v-deo.html Here's the first video. There's Turkey thighs (that aren't cooked right) The most hyped up green beans and asparagus ever Mashed potatoes with a half pound of pepper And stuffing made of Croutons
That looks more like a pasta salad than a lasagna. As far as easy lasagna goes, Joshua Weissman has my go to recipe. Its simple, inexpensive and delicious.
Kudos for getting chef Ed on the show! The subject did seem a bit like shooting fish in a barrel though. What Matty is doing is store cupboard cookery, so maybe find some good store cupboard cooks?
Not sure if Jack is from there originally but in his older videos he lived in California. He moved to Tennessee at some point, that's where he lives now.
oh man i love his comments, and its nice seeing both of your prespectives; and sadly... yet funnily his regret or anger on the mistakes that jack did, this is especially true since if i am not mistaken he's italian.
5:00 - 7:00 I’m glad you had the guest chef explain their background. From 5:00 and earlier he gave me the impression of an experienced amateur chef. When you had him explain his track record a bit more in depth I really had more respect for his insight due to experience.
You can tell Jack has two rules: never do a second take and never ever practice beforehand.
😂
Also do not know what pasta your using he's using penne not macaroni, also lasagna is layered sheets not a pasta bake wtf it's not lazy man's lasagna because it's just not lasagna it's lazy man penne pasta bake
He screwed up a pizza once and did a second take... without mozzarella cheese because he used up all his cheese on the first pizza.

@@BijinMCMXC I always cook my bolognese that long because it isn't more work, it just requires some planning. Prepare it in the morning, put in on the stove and it will be ready for lunch or dinner, whenever you want to eat it.
I love Ed's energy. It's that of a sarcastic dad and I am so here for it.
My mom made some sort of "stovetop lasagna" using mafaldine pasta. I think it was all the ingredients of lasagna, but served like spaghetti. But her technique was better than Jack's and it was pretty delicious haha.
This is when Jack transforms into the lunch lady from the Simpsons :D
😂
Lunchlady Doris? Jack needs to cook gym mats and say "there's very little meat in these gym mats".
12:30 😂🤣🔥👋 I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T USE THE OVEN MITT FIRST!! Jack you're killing me man!
😂
"It's like wiping your ass before you shit!" - Chef Ed. 😂
Thank you for uploading this today. I've been up all night puking and only slept two hours. Now I gotta watch both the kids. You long windedly tearing apart a Jack video is precisely what I needed to make this day better!
Hope you enjoyed it! 🤘
@@ChefBrianTsao most certainly!!!!
"longwindedly"......lmao, yep!
@@SkeleTonHammer ha!
"That was difficult" describes every one of Jack's lazyman dishes. Which you would assume defeats the purpose.
Your friend's cool and chill. Loved the colab.
And, yeah, I mean, that video from Jack is probably the best he's done. It's definitely 100% edible (not something you can say about most of his videos). I mean, I'd eat the hell out of it, for sure. But yeah... seems like it was baked ziti... of sorts.
Couldn't agree more
Of course it was edible there was no meat to undercook
Thank god he sent pasta to the school for the kids instead of some chicken.
😂
It's not a positive in any way, shape or form. Reheated pasta can contain b. cereus spores that are highly toxic and can be lethal. It's as dangerous as raw chicken and maybe even more when it comes to numbers of people poisoned (which in the worst cases led to multiple organ failures and amputations) and even dead because of it. There are some ways in which you can reheat the pasta relatively safely but looking at the risks involved it's not really worth it.
@@freyja6360 I think the joke went over your head.
@@freyja6360The chickens he made is literally undercook. I'm pretty sure there was actual blood still there
Sometimes I wonder if Jack knows his cooking is terrible and he’s pranking us. But then, the man does eat nearly raw chicken, so that might be giving him too much credit.
😂
Honestly I wonder if he just happens to have a really good editor on staff so he can eat safe food he seemingly pulled off a raw chicken.
Either that or the man has an immune system that medical researchers would really want to have a close look at.
@@annieworroll4373 Whatever the answer, I always find myself sufficiently sickened and horrified. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@annieworroll4373considering his multiple strokes I’m not sure he isn’t actually eating that stuff for real lol I think he is
I only remember one time doing this international food thing in school. Wasn't as diverse as you would think. Seeing as how EVERYONES PARENTS WERE MEXICAN. So we just had tons of Mexican food. Nothing wrong with that just kind of another day of eating home cooked food.
I've been waiting for you to discover the wonder of Jack's ability to invent cuisine.
😂
I'm no professional chef, but I always have a high-rated recipe for reference. I may tinker with it a bit for personal taste, but I follow it as close as possible. My philosophy is you don't need to be an expert at everything you cook, but have a handful of meals you can cook really well.
Such a fun video. Love your solo vids as well, but it's always great when you have another pro to bounce opinions off of. Great chemistry!
Glad you enjoyed it! More cool guests to come!
Please bring on Ed more. You guys are great
I love Jack's stare, when he tastes his dish... I always hear that modem-is-connecting sound (Beeeeeeeyuuuuuuuuu... pong ! pong !) dunring the half second period he stares in the void before saying "it's delicious !"
Cooking with Jack videos start as if he is going to literally nail the cooking but then makes all the ancestors cry
😂
Ah, an Uncle Roger fan. This dish would make my Italian ancestors cry, and I don't have any. I used to live in ltaly, and I know good Italian cooking. This isn't it.
@@MegaFortinbras idk if he is being fr tho... Like even a child can tell that is a disaster
Is that you? Uncle Roger?
Hiyyyyaaaa
I would love to see actual, professional chefs like you and your friends, recreate Jack’s recipes and make them actually good.
What a wonderful collaboration!
Agreed! I was so glad Ed was able to make it on!
When I was a newly married wife who was working 40+hours a week and bringing work home and trying to raise kids. I because well versed in making a lot of fast meals for my family, I never made this, ever. My Italian step dad would have died of a heart attack if I did😂😂😂
So that meant we had Italian on the weekends when I could make a proper meal. We had leftovers into the week. Rest of the week we had whatever momma threw together. 😂
😂😂😂
Anyone who eats something with that much cheese in it would die of a heart attack too
Well he's saving money by not using any spices. So his dish is fast and cheap! lol
🤦♂️😂
In my family we'd call that a pasta bake. Definitely not lasagna.
That is absolutely a pasta bake
We call it baked ziti round these parts, although ziti kinda sucks. I like rigatoni or penne rigate for it.
Love listening to you react alone but with a guest is a nice change of pace too. Great chemistry in this one would be cool to see him back on channel. Really enjoyed the one with your editor too!
Def more to come featuring Ed!
What a delight to have Ed join you!
What an atrocity to review jack again! Get the brews ready
Hahaha
MORE COOKING WITH JACK REACTIONS‼️‼️
Def more to come!
I hate to admit that I made up a recipe in college that I've always called the "Poor Man's Lasagna", because you can get all the ingredients for about $15 and it'll feed you for a week. I have a fancier, more traditional recipe as well (most things are from scratch) that I make when I have guests. But I think my "Poor Man's Lasagna" might actually be even lazier than the one in the reaction lol. I sincerely apologize to anyone I'm about to offend with this recipe but here goes...
I heat up jarred pasta sauce, brown some ground beef and throw it in the sauce. Then I just make layers of the sauce, dried lasagna noodles, sliced Swiss cheese, dollops of cottage cheese (instead of ricotta) and bagged low moisture mozzarella. Throw all that in the oven, covered with tin foil for 40 mins. Then take the cover off and add more mozzarella on top and cook until it browns. It only takes about 15 minutes of prep and assembly.
If you don't have the time to prep a really good lasagna, it's surprisingly a lot better than something like Stouffer's or the other pre-made ones from the grocery store. But if you've got the time, definitely go with something a little more.... traditional. I apologize to everyone for releasing this sacrilegious recipe to world, but in a pinch it's a time and money saver!
Thanks for sharing!
I prefer cottage cheese too. Less filling.
The many screams I scrumpt… the many things I yelled. Even with it being “lazy man” I am upsetti spaghetti
Jack, Kay, tiktok cooks and iron wrath archive are the 4 horsemen of the foodpocalypse
And the one behind it all, Jamie Oliver lol
I love this format, this would be a great way to get the spotlight on other creators and experts.
1000% more guests to come!
We are waiting!!! Glad you include Uncle Roger in your videos since he got cancelled!
It would be cool if you re-create the awful dishes exactly and taste them on your vlog to further analyze them better!
I think that would be comedy gold!
Hey Chef, as a sandwich pro, you should review some of Jeff Mauro's recipes. He had a show called Sandwich King, after all!
The worst lasagna goes to the women who cooks it in her dishwasher while washing dirty dishes. Seriously this happened.
I feel like eating a microwave lasagna for lunch today at work. Think that would be an upgrade.
😂😂😂
“The public is safe”
This must have been before he saw the chili episode.
Growing up one of my favorite dinners was something like this. We'd throw together white cheddar mac and cheese, ground beef, and spaghetti sauce. Then we'd cover it in cheddar cheese and bake it in the oven. We called it "poor man's lasagna."
We do something similar. Boxed mac n cheese, rotel tomatoes and drained ground beef. It costs under 5 bucks and feeds 4 to 6 people.
Hey Chef Brian it was great to finally meet you. Hopefully you check out more of the Ocky Way Tic Toc’s. And Masterchef Australia Reynold aka the Desert King.
When I was very young, Dad tried making crock pot lasagna. Clearly, the first step is to cook the noodles. So he left them in there for 24 hours and then ditched the idea when he found grey mush the next day. Porridge has more texture and color than that did.
😂
Oh. Oh no.
Everytime i think i cooked bad food i always watch jack and i feel better
I'm confused. Lasagna are sheets of pasta, those are Pene. And Maccaroni are small tubes. Also if you want to make Lasagna, you need the meet to better solidify everything. Vegetarian lasagna will not hold as well.
Careful, the pasta is penne. “Pene” means p_nis
Jack likes to clean his oven the same way he cleans his toilet, with a power washer
I love watching professional chefs over-analyzing Jack's recipes 😂😂😂
A lot more to come 😂
Jack: "Whew, that was difficult..."
Me: "Yeah, to watch!!"
You should definitely check out his enchilada video, it's the pinnacle of cheese
🤦♂️
Ed is hilarious dude. I
Love your guest man! After I ran out of Uncle Roger videos I really started hitting these ones. Definitely good content, thanks Chef!!
Like Brian said, this could be a good dish with these ingredients and a couple more if cooked properly.
Definitely!
This video was great. I like how Ed's dry take (presumably from confusion) paired with your willingness to dive into the marvel of ineptness that is "Cooking with Jack." Thanks for the laughs.
His lazy man tacos are hilarious. It's just nachos haha.
🤦♂️
I mean, that's literally the definition of lazy cuisine. Just pile the ingredients into a bowl. And mix it together. It's definitely not "nachos" or "lasagna" because these dishes have their own names but it's all the same ingredients.
This is my first video with these two and they are quite humble it seems. I’m in
🙏
*I can feel Italian people screaming internally*
😂
Great dish that respects his "heritage," so educational!
This dish is an embarrassment to his "heritage"
So, Uncle Roger correctly stated when reviewing Jamie Oliver that when you make ramen, you need to use ramen noodles. To make lasagna, you need to use lasagna noodles. otherwise it's just pasta. Lasagna is built up in layers, not mulched together. it's baked. it has seasonings in it. This barely qualifies as pasta.
I googled Jack’s name to watch some of his bad cooking, and I came across a list of his controversies. He’s done and said some terrible things.
What though? I have heard people mention him being a POS a lot, but they don't explain.
@@SehrDummerAccountNam I haven't looked into him too much, but he did accuse his church congregation of cheating at a chili cookoff because he lost. Not the most egregious thing, but definitely sets a tone.
@@SehrDummerAccountNamstrangled his son until his nose bled
I want to know how many kids were in that class. Man made enough food to feed a small army. But on another note, I really enjoy you doing reacts with guests!
Thank you! 🙏
I'll be honest....the chef was too nice, we needed a more savage chef for Jack's 'cooking'
😂
Like Frenchie? 🤣
Ed's reactions were priceless.
Still cracks me up 😂
The worst lasagna on earth, is the one that woman made in the dish washer, with the recycled spaghetti sauce. That should be considered a crime against humanity.
The whole point of lasagna is the distinct layers and that it gets baked, at least do one of those two things, ideally both. This is not lazy mans lasagna, this is crazy mans lasagna.
LOL 😂
Please have Ed on again, I love his dry humor and you guys have great chemistry.
Bring Ed back and get him to react to Kay's Cooking! 😂
Def gonna have him back and I think that’s a GREAT idea!
Let’s be honest, No one is safe from Jack. Whenever there’s a family event or any sort of event where he cooks everyone is doomed. But Ed was a great addition for this episode! Would love to see more episodes from him, especially seeing the monstrosities of Jacks Cooking and how he developed his signature Iron Gut
When schools cafeterias are dealing with budget cuts, they have to hire Jack
I love your videos💗 I find them very funny and entertaining
Thank YOU for tuning in! 🙏
Jack seems like a pretty good dude who should never, ever be allowed anywhere near a kitchen.
Nope he’s actually a huge asshole. Look it up his name’s Jack Scalfani.
I'm confused how this isn't just a pasta meal, rather than specifically lasagne
Edit after watching the video:
That's basically what we call in the UK a pasta bake. Pasta with extra cheese on top grilled in the oven 🤷
I'm almost halfway through this and....as an Italian I'm MORTIFIED at what I'm seeing. I'm no pro chef, but I know my Italian cuisine. He's making BAKED ZITI that freaking looks like penne vodka!!! And his kitchen looks like something out of Blue's Clues! Uggggh, can't WAIT to see how this ends😩🙄
While funny to rip good ol' Jack, over the years I learned how cooking itself is not something that comes natural, some things make no sense or just flat out work out of the norm: you need to be teach on how to cook at the end of the day, even simple things. Jack's problem is how he never, ever move from square one even when info of cooking is far more accessible nowdays and after clearly getting a stroke for his horrible food.
Im not a fan of reaction channels but this one is tame, not fake and overhype, keep the good work.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I appreciate you tuning in!
There's a video where Jack freeze dries a Thanksgiving meal for a soldier and is getting paid for it
🤦♂️
ua-cam.com/video/FEW2ft8w34c/v-deo.html
Here's the first video.
There's Turkey thighs (that aren't cooked right)
The most hyped up green beans and asparagus ever
Mashed potatoes with a half pound of pepper
And stuffing made of Croutons
That looks more like a pasta salad than a lasagna. As far as easy lasagna goes, Joshua Weissman has my go to recipe. Its simple, inexpensive and delicious.
That squelching audio of him dumping that monstrosity into the serving tray is reminiscent to that of fisting a jar of mayonnaise.
This Made My Day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Putting hot food like that into the fridge might destroy the motor in your fridge. It'll be running overtime all night to get to 40.
Kudos for getting chef Ed on the show! The subject did seem a bit like shooting fish in a barrel though. What Matty is doing is store cupboard cookery, so maybe find some good store cupboard cooks?
The lazy man series is about him being lazy not his dishwasher
Not sure if Jack is from there originally but in his older videos he lived in California. He moved to Tennessee at some point, that's where he lives now.
Those poor kids that were forced to eat Jack's cooking....
😂
oh man i love his comments, and its nice seeing both of your prespectives; and sadly... yet funnily his regret or anger on the mistakes that jack did, this is especially true since if i am not mistaken he's italian.
Brain once again you nailed it ! As a chef I totally understand everything you've talking about. Love your videos
I appreciate that and thanks for watching! 🙏
5:00 - 7:00 I’m glad you had the guest chef explain their background. From 5:00 and earlier he gave me the impression of an experienced amateur chef. When you had him explain his track record a bit more in depth I really had more respect for his insight due to experience.
