About the onion sandwich, he initially says “my wife loves it,” and later says “she loved it” with a subtle yet noticeably more somber tone.

I’ve kept the radish sandwich alive because of Jacques reminding me and now I think I’ll do an onion sandwich as well…I have eaten Vidalia on bread before…but I toasted it with butter and cooked the vidalia down a bit to take the edge off.

Mom made onion sandwiches, but she cut the onion about 1/2" thick and fried it in bacon grease first. A small dab of mustard gave the mayo some 'bite'!...

Love these simple sandwiches! I imagine they were born from a simpler time when we used, very creatively, what we had on time. Simple, good food is timeless! Thank you!

These sandwiches remind me of a trip I made to British Columbia, to visit my French relatives. My uncle was a real outdoorsman, and lived near the ocean and had a friend with a concrete boat. They treated my daughter and I to a boat ride to an island there, and one of the best parts, was that we brought cold baked chicken and a block of cheddar cheese to eat. I am pretty sure that we had a little bit of wine, too. But anyway, the food was so truly simple, and we ate it so casually and literally chopped and broke off the chunks of cheese to eat. But, man, it tasted so divine, out there in the open air on the boat!!! I find it to be so danged French, to eat rustic food, but to do it in the most exact, perfect way, and it makes you feel like pampered royalty!!! For sure, the onion and radish sandwiches would have gone absolutely perfectly with the cold baked chicken, cheddar cheese chunks, and wine!!!

Thanks, I've posted similar elsewhere, as the big downside of raw onion is the pungent breath it gives you for the rest of the day! The smell is unmistakable to anyone unfortunate enough to be within 10 yards of you. I heard soaking the raw onion slices in a little white/white wine vinegar for 10 minutes (red wine vinegar would work too), dials down the acid and makes the raw onion taste milder and be more forgiving, breath-wise. Incidentally, did my eyes deceive me, or did Jacques put two slices of onion on one half of the sandwich, leaving the other half empty? No one else has mentioned this in the comments - I'm baffled!

Love how he taps the knife on the board before each cut ❤

My dad back in Poland over 30 years ago would make something semi similar, fresh sliced bread from a local bakery, thin shmear of butter, thin slices of onion and a few drops of Maggi seasoning, yeah that stuff lol. I was actually incredible, haven't had it since but now I want to try these :)

This is so simple but Chef Pepin transforms it into something tasty and elegant. So much respect & gratitude for this man. He has taught me (via his shows, books & now YT channel) so many delicious and easy-to-make recipes, and techniques.

Loved this. Love Jacques

Thank you Jacques!

Everyone loves Jacques Pepin. Thank you for making these. :D

Love radish & sweet onion sandwich's... the side coating is a nice touch. James Beard and you have been hero's of mine for years and all of your cook books are treasures. Merci, Jacques !

This gives me so many ideas! Like a cucumber sandwich with cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning on the outside. Or a sandwich with hummus and red peppers and zaatar on the outside or literally make any sandwich and coat the crust with herbs or seeds or spices!

Cucumber sandwiches are classics. Usually made with butter. But cucumbers and cream cheese just go together so well.

That's what I love so much about Jacques Pepin, he always makes us want to try this stuff at home!!

Thank you chef, you are an inspiration to me in many different ways.

I remember seeing somewhere that Jacques is very active outside of the kitchen, always doing gardening, foraging, crafts and handiwork. The way he expertly applies the mayonnaise and butter reminds me of a bricklayer!

My dad, who is an Olympic award winning chef, grew up admiring Jacques. A few years ago my dad was doing a food demo at the same time Jacque's daughter was doing a demo. My dad explained how much he admired Chef and she had her dad sign a cook book that my dad had for decades. A true gentleman!

So, apparently there is indeed chef Olympics if you do some googling. I was just being funny. Chill people.

I have always loved onions in my cooking but, I would have never thought if this sandwich. Since watching this video, I am hooked on this sandwich.

Watched jacques back in the 80s ,always loved has knowledge and passion,great to see he's looking so well and still showing us how its done.

He's such a pleasure watching him prepare food. its what life is all about while were here in this world that when we eat that we enjoy our food. that he mentions that his wife enjoyed these dishes that he prepares. thanks Jacques Pepin

No matter what time a snack, this sandwich is perfection! Forty-five years later I still go to my James Beard! Thanks for the lovely onion and radish sandwich ❗👏🏻👏🏽👏

I had a habit once of always buying one vegetable I'd never had before when I'd go to the market. One day I picked up a black radish. It was a MASSIVE thing! But I cut a slice and found the flavor disappointing; too much like any other red radish I had with random salads over the years. Then a friend from Poland suggested I have it on black bread with "lots of butter" and "lots of salt." Skeptical, I got a loaf of pumpernickel and followed instructions. What a delight! Now I find myself actually craving this simple snack quite frequently! It goes to show how food pairing is whole other level of pleasure!

Jacques the absolute culinary master. ALWAYS defers to what his wife prefers. Magnificent gallantry.

Mayo and chive edges, James Beard was a madman. I will absolutely try this. Thank you, Chef!

Will ALWAYS love Jacques' wonderful recipes, techniques, and teachings! Thanks, Jacques! ❤️

I saw him demonstrate his omelet technique on TV when I was a kid, he's been my favorite celebrity chef ever since.

I used to love watching him back in the 90's when I was a kid and he made desserts on PBS. Turns out I still love watching him make food 20 years later. lol

Not sure if I'll be able to ever, but a dream for me has always been to meet Jacques. Just to say thank you, honestly. I can't really think of many people I've looked up to in life- you can count them on one hand- but Jacques has always been one of those people. I've associated so many positive memories in life with your shows, your cooking... I'm sure I'm not alone with this either. Thank you.

Brilliantly simple.

I really learned something from this. Thank you. I am going to make both of these sandwiches. Such a good, simple, straightforward video, too. Clear, no gimmicks. Hats off to both the recipes and the video production.

The onion sandwich was new to me, but I get myself a radish sandwich once a while. Also pretty underrated is the chives sandwich. A little bit of butter, finely sliced chives on top, a sprinkle of salt and you’re good to go (you can also have some cherry tomatoes on the side, fresh out of the garden. Nothing can beat that!)

I love this!

I saw an episode of Jacques' show where he had his wife Gloria on (I believe it was Gloria's favorites) & she told of how how they met and she really chased him & they ended up getting married. They have one daughter who sometimes is on the show. It was a really sweet story and very touching how she told it.

I would personally prefer a red onion (salad onion) slightly sweeter and a nicer flavour IMHO. I would also run the cut onions under water for 30 seconds to reduce/cut through the acidity further. We have Salad Cream here in Australia (Heinz Salad Cream) which I would use in lieu of mayo, it's a very nice alternative to mayo. Excellent, elegantly simple mate, thank you.

Agreed, raw sliced yellow (and even red) onions benefit from being doused in some white/white wine vinegar for 10 minutes before use in salads and sandwiches. The vinegar takes the harsh acidity down a few notches. Dry them on kitchen paper though, or you'll end up with a soggy sandwich! I can't think why we don't see round sarnies more often. They look elegant, are an obvious way to lose the crust that most people don't want (especially at a genteel afternoon tea), and make that stylish, mayo/chives trick so easy to achieve! I was a little puzzled by Jacques sandwich construction though. Did my eyes deceive me, or did he put 2 slices of onion in one half of the sandwich, and leave the other half empty? No other comments, so I'm thinking I must have hallucinated it!
