This statement's wrong unless you're going utter Texan purist (who barely lose to Philly cheesesteak fans in terms of snobbishness over cheap but good slop). Some beans improve and stretch out a chili IMO.

And yeah, chili times vary, but you still want some time due to the marinade effect that goes on in a chili; you do not want to fucking pressure cook it.
I'm not actually a Texan but I've done chili competitions so I guess I'm a purist because of them ;)


reading through that old OC Register article on jack got me thinking about how the "story" behind his sauce sounds like pure bullshit

according to the story, jack was managing a famous chef who was attempting to create his own bbq sauce. the chef then bailed and jack was left with 300 lbs of spices so he used it to make his own sauce. why would a "famous" chef want jack to manage him? who was this chef?

jack also claims to have been a radio DJ and nightclub manager but how come he's never talked about that on the show? not to mention his knowledge of music/entertainment/nightlife seems miniscule at best.

There is literally no way in the BBQ Industry who knows of him either. I haven't emailed Myron or Franklin, but I'd bet solid money they sure never heard of him. I daily discuss BBQ with competition times out there and they wouldn't even order some of his product to try. So not only is he unknown, but apparently any one who looks at his products won't try it rofl.

Here's his LinkedIn account info, for those curious.

Oh I see now, we were on the same page re: simmering it for a while, but I didnt realize you meant he was trying to pressure cook it, I thought it was just a regular electric crockpot or something. I usually just make it on the stove over a fire so I didnt know how everyone else did it.

Really it's ONLY people like Jack and Amberlynn who just cant figure out that it's supposed to thicken and not be a "soup type thing" because they cant fucking wait. I was wondering how he simmered it as you said "for hours" without it thickening but he's probably lying because he claims to know how to do it, or to do what the recipe says, but then he always decides fuck it and goes his own way because he knows better.

I cant believe people even humor his cooking IRL.

I grew up in the state and mom's never not put beans in Chili when we made it. Ive never known what the deal was or which part of the country thinks it's beans vs. no beans. Now I know, I guess.

Well why would they? Anyone competent enough to get into a competition or something knows their own rubs and sauces, even if theyre cutting corners, they would look and immediately see his stuff is shit. Jack's are literally nothing special. Sure the ingredients are similar, but I have a feeling he did with that what he did with everything else, he had somebody else's recipe, maybe fucked with it a little and added more sugar, and called it "his own".

Also you arent supposed to eat barbeque with sauce. Ill be a purist on that. Maybe a little bit but its more of a dipping sauce on each bite, the meat should be moist enough and youre tasting the smoke and meat.

interesting

googling jack's name along with the stations listed on his linkedin account brought up one result. this old geocities looking website that lists jack's name as "jack attack," an on-air talent on KIK-FM

http://sakrison.com/radio/KIK.html

aside from that, there is nothing on jack's radio/dj/club manager career online that i could find

I don't believe a word of it, unless he was left with 300 lbs of ketchup and corn starch.

I agree with how you do BBQ, since I'm contemplating joining a local amateur team, but we still need a good sauce for ribs. Ribs are often either sauced, or served with sauce.

But the point I was making is if he had a famous guy helping him with the sauce, and bailed...why the fuck has no one else in the industry heard of it? We keep each other informed of these things. Catered to a large group and got headaches from the guy? Word goes around.

Tried to get involved in a start up for stuff and yer partner was an utter prick? The entire BBQ world finds out in short order. It's a surprisingly close knit group and Jack never was near it.

Doing this. Have to.

1. Jack peppily announces the only reason he's going to make this shit chili is because it's getting cold; he autistically thinks Chili is purely a cool weather food for reasons.
2. Crying Baby Jack gets cagey about showing you the ingredients; it's like he knows that the final product is going to be shit.
2b. Oh, it just turns out Hungry Jack is just refusing to show the ingredients because he's lazy. Typical.
3. Jack's avatar insults him again, and I don't blame it; I still have that fucking thumbnail burned into my mind and I want it out.
4. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PRE COOKING YOUR- I- FUCKING- REEEE~

*A session playing with dogs later*

5. Now that I'm not screaming externally, we can continue. Jack picks off the skin of each cooked pepper and dumps it back into the fucking bowl anyway. Lovely.
6. YOU DO NOT PRE-COOK ANY OF THIS YOU FAT MONG YOU FUCKING BROWN AT MOST WHAT THE FUCK AAAAA-

*One dose of ritalin later*

7. Right then, back to being able to type coherently. Fucking Jack proceeds to dump all of his ingredients into a pot with no love or care to any of them.
7b. The winning ones have to be the shitton of cilantro he pours in, but honorable mentions include how he doesn't get Tammy or Jr. to dice up the peppers and onions in this hell mix to make a nicer looking final product.
8. When he poured in the salsa verde, I was disgusted immensely; he could have and SHOULD HAVE made a green chili if that was the case, but nope. Fuck that; that require research and the famine spirit hungers.
9. Jack then puts more pork in this mix in the form of bacon; it's really apparent that Jack probably eats nothing but bacon whenever he personally cooks now given this.
9b. Either way, bacon in chili like this is gross to me; it'd make sense if it was pork belly cut up, but not the thin stuff you fry.
10. Stroked out Jack thinks that browning is cooking. No wonder he loves to eat raw meat so often.
11. Jack tries to pretend he's dieting by saying how you don't want the grease in the chili while pouring at least over a pound of bacon into it as is.
12. Jack admits he can't put as much cayenne pepper as he wants in this hell mix; he passive aggressively snipes at Tammy's dad for not liking spicy food like the hateful shit he is.
13. Jack the idiot biggens up the chili by bragging he's putting cumin in it; I personally think he put in too much and think he's a moron for calling a popular spice for a lot of dishes "Hispanic".
14. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PUTTING IN - no. Let it go...
14b. For those wondering, he for some fucking reason puts in poultry seasoning. I don't know why either.
15. Jack shockingly lets this simmer for hours on end. He may be lying about this, but still he doesn't try to quick cook it!
16. NO GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!
16b. I'm only partially kidding with this; this is one of Jack's most disgusting looking meals yet, even moreso than the Church one! I think his lazy man's one is either runner up or first still.
17. Jack thinks drowning it in sour cream will save this item; no it fucking won't.
18. Fake "mmm" comes before the hell mix is properly in his mouth. I think the stroke took away Jack's ability to lie effectively.
19. Disgusting fucking tongue action in full force as well.
20. The video cuts because Jack had to do another take to lie about how good his product is.
21. Hateful Jack accidentally describes how he'll go to Hell when he dies. Not because of this, though it don't help, but because of how he treats others.
22. HA JACK SAYS DESCRIBE IN THE COMMENTS WHILE BLOCKING YOU FROM DOING THAT! WHAT A COWARDLY SHITSTAIN!

Yeah, this was awful to say the least.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU- So what do you guys think is the probability Jack is like DSP in another way, does he act and talk like he does knowing how awful it is?

Personally, I think he buys his own hype more than Pigroach since he's not in as shit a situation as the Pig is.
 
At what point do you think Jack's just going to pack it in? I get that this is something he mostly does for ego-stroking, but surely on some level he knows he's never going to make it as a popular YouTube chef. Surely he knows that his dream of culinary celebrity will always be a dream. I won't fault the guy for taking a chance, but there's a point when you should know you've lost. Watching that last video, the tired, half-crippled man too lazy to put the effort into the dish he's making, just depressed me. I've always found it a little hard to actively dislike Jack. I pity him more than anything.
If he maybe learned to embrace his lack of skill and a "shlubby dad" persona, I think he'd probably find more success. He would suck as a chef, but he'd acknowledge it and him and his audience could all laugh at his attempts to recreate dishes. Too bad his ego makes that impossible.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=SwXkjID7BawJack praises Butcher Box for providing the cleanest meat around. He pretends to care that the livestock they source are grass fed, hormone free, and even humanly raised. He seems to be under the impression that the company is impervious to food recalls. He proceeds to show off their superior meat by making what else? A Chili. An Espresso Chili at that, and in the Ninja® Foodi™, with no fewer than half a dozen canned products. It ends up looking exactly the same as any Jack Scalfani chili, but he is very excited to try it anyway. He must have been out of sour cream when he made this, because there is no way he resisted the urge to cover this in it.
"In these times when you can't order a salad at cik-fil-a without the staff audibly laughing at you and giving you a deluxe sandwich."

He's been at for over ten years. If two strokes won't stop him, he himself won't stop him.
 
And he keeps saying how healthy it is. It's super high in fat and sodium which are great if you've had a stroke.

If he were actually sticking to keto, this would be a good option but in addition to all the other crap he eats, he isn't long for this world.

I guess he has suffered a major blow to his ego with the comments. I'm surprised it took so long for him to block them.
 
Is that a stolen thumbnail or the actual result Jack got?

Either way, shit looks gross.
Do you have to ask? Of course he stole it.

Jack's thumbnail, vs Jack's chicken:
sddefault.jpg cap_videoplayback_00_02_42_01.jpg
The shape of the pan is different... his pan has rounded ends. Also, the thumbnail shows 7 pieces of chicken, while Jack made 6.

And really, that's pretty much exactly what Nashville hot chicken is supposed to look like.

Frankly, this was probably the one recipe where his chicken looked almost just like the picture he stole.
 
OH SNAP! Jack Jr proposed to his girlfriend. Isn't he like 18 or something?

Also couldn't he have worn something less douchey? He knew he was proposing.
