Don’t worry about the length of your videos. Some ppl never cooked before and need to learn especially from a great teacher and chef as yourself.

Oui Chef, Clam Chowdah ! ! ! There is no one Butter than You ! ! !

I made this recipe tonight. The most tedious part was scrubbing the clams 3 times, but worth it. Fun part was watching the clams pop. Best part, eating this amazing soup. Chef is right, I will never go back to using bottled clam juice or canned clams. It is a labor of love but so worth it. Thank you for a great video and the recipe on your website.

God bless your heart for acknowledging your dishwasher! That really shows what a fine man you are. I’ve been a spectator of commercial kitchens, with multiple chefs, hours long, thinking ‘dear God, those poor dishwashers!’ Especially when the chefs accidentally burn things. The dishwashers are unsung heroes endlessly bringing out stacks of sauté pans, saucier pans… no glory.

When I had my first job waiting in a nice family dinner restaurant. Most of us were very young but hard working. I learned very quickly that the dishwasher was, in my opinion a highly valued member of the kitchen team. It didn’t matter if your food was ready - if you did not have silverware to serve with. Our dishwasher was older mentally handicapped but very able to do the job. I truly thought it was a awful challenging dirty hot wet job. Steam, hot water, stinky, messy garbage and dish filled tubs of nasty dishes. It was a lonely job because he didn’t have another partner to work with. As a server, I worked for tips if the night was busy my money increased. For the dishwasher, he just made a very low minimum wages. It wasn’t company policy but I chose to share my tips with the dishwasher. He was blown away the 1st time I gave him some money. Everyone usually ignored him and he often had his breaks alone. I just knew in my heart that I couldn’t do my job without him. He was always very helpful and kind to me. Whenever I needed anything like soup spoons - I was the very 1st to get them. I learned a lot working in that restaurant about humans or inhuman behavior. Don’t judge someone by how they look or what job they have. Most of all be kind. 💐

Everyday I enter kitchen I hug every dish washer just to feel them they r our own .not they r just a dishwasher and poor workers. Thy don't need or ask for food they just want some respect . everytime. I think who is my friend inside kitchen they r. Not my fellow chefs . they r more than them .they will do whatever they can do for you if you show love and respect to them .

Once I got to the instruction of replace water with Chardonnay... I knew this recipe was a winner 🏆

Chef Jean-Pierre, I can’t help constantly being amazed at your humanity and humility. Paying tribute to your dishwasher friend reinforces everything I’ve always known about you in the past 25 years of watching your PBS TV shows and now on youtube. Please keep making great content like this. Oh, and by the way this recipe looks absolutely delicious! A keeper for me. Félicitations pour ton succès et beaucoup d’amour!

Feb 2020, I entered for the first time, Santa Cruz Boardwalk Clam chowder cook off. I made it the way you made it, short of liquor and it was amazing. I made 10 gallons (8 was required) but the people who won the competition made over 50 gallons. To win, you needed to collect tickets. But I did place 6th out of 48 in the judging. It was held 2 weeks before the shut down. Over 20,000 in attendance. Everyone who tasted my soup told me it was the best they ever had. My booth and theme was “Wrath of Klams” Star Trek with Kahn as my chef. I was way in over my head, but will never forget the great time I had with friends helping. The competition is back Feb 26-27 with amateur set for Saturday. Thanks for the vdo. 🙏💪🌏🌎🌍❤️🎥🇺🇸🖖

I was angry and agitated by a super-slow paying customer; I hate to have to run after my money and then get a lot of nonsense too. But after watching THE FINEST MOST SYMPATHETIC CHEF on the internet I'm happy again and my mood (and health) restored. A very fine recipe indeed, merci beaucoup Chef!

Chef is hilarious. The best part when he makes soups/chowders is right at the end when he is stirring the finished product at the end, while it's still on the heat, and he's waiting for it to get to the that exact consistency he's looking for. It's like science, you can see it thicken in real time, just up to the point that it's perfect.

I was a dishwasher when I just started out. Despite being treated like trash by most of the staff it still felt like being an important part of the team. If the food needs the pan then it also needs to be cleaned. But, i am glad you understand the pain.

Videos like this just bring me joy, besides getting better at cooking.

One thing i like about this channel is they dont shorten or cut the video too much they will show you the start, on process and the ending of cooking … very detailed

Everyone who says " i can't cook" didn't look to chef Jean Pierre!! This is kitchen-entertainment and this is really to learn cooking. "A child can do this" . Absolute truth. Thank you for all your enthousiasm and expertise. It is an honor to be called a friend by you Chef JP. God bless. Your "friends" from the Netherlands.

Chef JP, we live near the ocean. We soaked the clams, mussels, and other shellfish overnight or a few hours in water before cooking them. The shellfish will spit out the sands inside their shells. There are still some leftover sands when you cook them. Your cooking is delicious. You cook so well. I enjoyed watching your vlogs and learning a lot from you. Take care and more power to you.❤❤❤

Epic recipe. Thanks for not rushing, and taking on such a multi step task without regard to video length. We don't care how long the video.

Not only did you make a beautiful chowder, you made my day.

Chef, I'm laying here on the couch with a fever and sinus infection watching you cook. Thanks for being so honest and real with your viewers. I feel better just watching you. And a piping hot bowl of that chowder sounds amazing right now!

OMG Chef Jean-Pierre, you made my most favorite soup in the entire world, even more so than chili, and I am seriously drooling, ten thumbs up 😋❤ My Grandfather made the best in the world, and he was one of the first to serve it in his home baked sourdough bread bowls. I also see that you made it Manhattan style with the tomatoes, which are really good, my Grandfather called his Pacific Northwest style, with bits of flaked fresh caught salmon out of the Columbia River outside of Portland, Oregon, it made a wonderful complementary flavor with the clams.
