this could be a whole series by itself. Caesar's last meal, the Romanov's last meal, Elvis' last meal, Rasputin's last meal (ok maybe skip that one)

My mom and dad were married on the day JFK was killed. They were at the reception when they heard about it. My dad made the joke till his dying day that millions of women cried all over the world the day he got married.

[redwing]

My grandparents were married the day after the assassination, they've been planning the wedding for months, saw in the news he'd been assassinated, debated about rescheduling but had decided they'd already put so much time into the event they would just go forward with it

Max Miller with the NatGeo support!!! It just feels good that such an oldazz institution would agree with a sentiment that everyone in the comments already knew -- this is one of the best history AND food programs out there right now.

Jackie was a real class act. I saw a doc. and after the assassination, she was (obviously) covered with blood, etc. When they asked her to change out of her clothes she said, "No, I want them to see what they've done to Jack".

I was 10 when he was shot! I'll never forget how sad that Thanksgiving was! My Mom had everyone still come . She cooked like a super chef. B and w TV. I was in Catholic school we had to go to Mass to say prayers for the President. My Mom made the Best Thanksgiving Ever! Mom you were always the Best at the Family gatherings.Love always your Son Dennis

For some people with chicken egg allergies, try duck eggs. You can get them in most grocery stores now days and they work just fine in place of chicken eggs in cooking. In fact they were used as replacements for the egg in the sandwich that Margot Robbie ate in the movie "Bird of Prey". My son is allergic and we found the duck eggs work for him, check with your doctor of course before you do. Hope this helps people who have egg allergies enjoy things they miss eating.

If no one has said it before now, Max, we the viewers dont want you to risk anaphylaxis so feel free to skip trying eggs in the videos. We can get the idea of what the egg would be like. If you insist on the eggs being tried then please enlist a substitute taster to keep yourself safe. You and your channel would be sorely missed if you had a severe allergic reaction

I was 11 when the assassination happened and I remember all the adults around me crying. My Catholic grandmother even had a picture of JFK on the wall next to her picture of Jesus. That's how much he meant to Catholics. Hearing you talk about it made me a little teary-eyed.

Soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers to dip is a cherished memory from childhood. Mum would make us kids them as a treat. Also whenever we were sick, she’d do a soft boiled egg, peeled and smashed up with a bit of butter in a cup. It was great when you didn’t feel like eating but needed something nourishing. She made me one this last May when I was recovering from an infection and two abscesses from a wisdom tooth removal that had gone bad. It was so damned good after a week with very little food.

I watched a video from Ask a Mortician months ago that covered the fatal shooting and the conga line of errors that led to his closed casket funeral (his body was no longer in a state to be viewed, RIP), and Jackie's breaking down in tears when it finally caught up to her. She goes into a lot of detail from a funeral director's point of view and I can't recommend it enough. Excited that you got to cover what happened before the last gunshot, and can't wait to see the NatGeo angle, too!

[bombidil]

I honestly love these 20th Century ones. They remind you of how much there is to know about people who's names seem so familiar. Alcatraz, WW2 Thanksgiving, Chef Boyardee (the master), and this video were awesome!

This one in particular because I have some bucket list US Cities I'd like to visit, including Dallas, so this sounds like a field trip I'd like to go on!

[kidastar]

This feels like an episode people in the future might use to figure out what a ‘simple breakfast’ used to be. Always love your videos

Something that I also like to mention about JFKs trip to Texas is he was one of the first presidents to recognize the Hispanic/Latino vote and actually met up with civil rights groups in Houston and planned for one in Austin. In Houston he stopped by a LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS (LULAC) dinner and was only supposed to show up, wave, shake some hands and take pictures. However, the group leaders persuaded and insisted he spoke to the crowd. He then gave a speech and stayed with them for about 20 minutes before leaving

[sagrammyfour]

Yes yes yes. We want a series on the "Last Meal of Famous People."

I remember my mother gathering us kids up and standing on the street on Airport Blvd in Houston. Hobby Airport was still Houston Intercontinental in those days. We watched JFK and his motorcade drive by. The next day we were sent home from school early and my mother was crying when I arrived. That's when I was told that the man we saw the day before had been killed in Dallas. Thanks Max for making a man who died 60 years ago more human to a new generation.

Ever since you mentioned working for Disney, all I can see is Prince Charming teaching us how to cook and I am 100% all for it. 😄

[MichaelYoder]

Saved this until the day of. I asked my mother if she remembered where she was and she just said "I had a 2 year old (me) and a 1 month old (my brother) - I don't remember anything, I was too busy." Such a tragedy. RIP JFK. And thanks, Max.

[iGleeson]

I love that Max is basically a history influencer now, getting invited to screenings and events! I love it!

As always, fantastic episode! For me, the picture of Johnson being sworn in has always been an image I could never forget. Jackie looks so small, defeated, tired. And utterly alone. The worst moment of your life printed on the front page of every newspaper across the globe. One amazing terrible moment. Thank you for your wonderfully delightful and educational show. I have never failed to learn something new.
