If Jacques was my surgeon I would feel pretty good about that.

[OlNeb-kb]

Without Mr. Pépin cooking I would have never wanted to learn the culinary arts. When I was a kid he was and still is a huge inspiration to me. I can honestly say his and Julia’s cooking shows are why I wanted to learn to cook.

He could have been anything, so talented! ❤

Jacques is one of those people who could have succeeded at anything.

God Bless you Jacques. Both you and Julia Child brought millions of people countless years of joy, happiness and entertainment, years of blissful escapism.

[Keni-Vr]

Jacques is still handsome so adorable, and very confident as he should be!

[auntihooha]

my engineer father watched you all the time while he cooked - and he also built cabinets and a butcher block island and an addition to our house~ he would have loved to meet you!

[FSupremo]

Totally agree...trust me, this guy can do it...I have been watching him for a time.

I love Jaques Pepin and have followed him for many years. He is the ultimate artiste and for sure he would have been successful in many professions He is on my list of most favorite people along with Yo Yo Ma, the cellist and now the comedian (and cardiologist) Bassem Youseff. God bless Jaques and all those who have soulful spirits their greatness manifested in their chosen profession

[Kent-qoxp]

Yay Jacques! When can I finally visit?

[peggyt]

Love that cheeky smile, “I’m pretty good with a knife 😏”

[CaffeAddict]

I am sure you could become a surgeon. I watched how you deboned a chicken. I was mesmerized by your knife skill. It took you about ten minutes, maybe less. It took me 30 and I messed it up badly.

[mbombaby]

I'm not sure about surgeon. Too much Red Wine...ha! I love you Jacques!

You can be all 3. Why limit ones self. Let this be a lesson to all of us. We need to be everything and anything..as long as its for the needs of Lord Gods other children..

We should be able to build cabnets, and fill the selves with pantry and cook wear..

I real life. We need to be a cure to those in need..reseach & development in medicine..starts with a Good healthy diet..

Stay away from surgery..infection from each and every surgery requires passing on infections..Surgery is a last ditch effort..😢
