Saturday mornings when Jeff, Martin Yan, Julia Childs and Jacques. Pepin, and so many others were new on PBS and one could actually learn to cook and none of the competitions that have taken their place. Thank you for bringing Mr Smith back!
This is one of the few shows that I loved to watch with my parents as a small child. When I was 9 years old we went to a book signing and got to meet him. Ahhh, 1992.....
Despite his sad ending (career and life), a true pioneer in the genre of culinary television. He -- along with Julia Child, Justin Wilson, Graham Kerr, Chef Tell, Earl Peyroux and anyone I missed -- were The Food Channel before there was a Food Channel.
Keith Floyd conspicuously absent in this chat.. He was the original prototype for ALL "personality" chefs since the early 80s, and an international star.
This show, HomeTime and This Old House were shows I used to watch with my grandparents on my Nickelodeon break. I am still shocked about what ended his career, talk about dying in obscurity and having your legacy completely forgotten. PBS doesn't even mention his show, books are out of print and only episodes available are those from people's personal collection.
Used to watch these when I was a kid in the 80s. Fast forward it's 2019 and that bacon and eggs is probably the healthiest breakfast there. Fat and protein, zero carbs.
@@dchenkin02 riiiiiigght... Even though people have been eating bacon for 400 years. You need salt to live & your brain is made of cholesterol. Keep listening to the vegan teachers. Your brain is going away
Many years ago I had the frugal gourmet cook book. In it was a receipe for lamb brewats. Since then and many moves the cook book was lost. I would love to make them again. A video of that receipe would be great. They were so delicious.
@@yonoid1087 - even if he had been innocent, even back then (before social media and the internet) it was practically impossible to escape or bounce back from claims like those he faced
@Shufei ....I had the first four or five cookbooks Jeff wrote and noticed he almost never spoke of his father. His mom was long divorced so I wonder if there was some impropriety between father and son. It's fact that sexual abuse is passed from generation to generation until someone gets help to stop it. I just hope his own two sons were spared.
@Shufei ....I'd like to relay to you what was told to me by a former coworker. He had been gigging as an apprentice chef right out of school, getting work at the Chicago studio. He said he witnessed Jeff drinking to excess, have fits of rage in which Jeff would shout and rant, throwing knives around and in the direction of crew members on the set. Inappropriate sexual remarks were brazenly made to male cooking staff. My friend went on to say he'd been grabbed and butt slapped by Jeff, that his two sons couldn't abide their dad due to his forcing them to act like a kind, normal, religious family in public. It sounded like a toxic workplace from hell, assuming this information was all true. I wonder how well his boys are psychologically after all they were put through.
His demeanor and voice was very comforting and kind during the show. As a kid in the early to mid 80's I would watch this show and Justin Wilson's show as well. Great memories.....
I remember many a Saturday late morning and all afternoon sitting watching PBS cooking shows. Jeff, Martin Yan, Ciao Italia, Lydia Bastianich and of course Pepin and Julia. Great memories 😊
Every time I use a cutting board, I remember Jeff Smith’s advice: Don’t use the sharp edge of the knife to gather and transfer the diced stuff on the cutting board, flip the knife over and use the unsharpened edge. That keeps the knife sharp longer, and keeps the sharp edge away from your fingers.
As soon as I heard the great music, I knew this would be a wonderful show....that was years ago when I was a student. So happy to watch Jeff once again. Thank you so much for this video.
Loved this guy in the 80s on PBS. Still have 2 or 3 of his fabulous cookbooks! The first one in particular was well used & the pgs were stained with frequent use.💟
Has anyone ever watched The Urban Peasant with host James Barber? It ran on CBC in Canada for many years. He often would start a recipe with "Take a whole stick of butter and put it in the pan. Yes, I said a whole stick of butter." I used many of his recipes during graduate school.
My late dad used to make sausage - had an old grinder. Used to buy pork shoulders & bone them himself & stuff natural casings. Great stuff! He used to make a small amount of Polish-style for me.
I love how all the processed food passed muster: sausage, cheese, cold cuts, chocolate sprinkles, biscuits, gravy, maple syrup. We all good here. But two eggs and bacon? Oh my, big no no, haven't you heard about CHOLESTEROL? 🤣
Same thing with me Between Jeff Smith, Justin Wilson, Stephen Yan, Julia Child, Jacques Pepin and even Wolfgang Puck, amongst others sparked my interest in cooking
This brings back so many fun childhood memories watching The Frug on Tuesday nights on PBS. He taught me how to cook and be confident about trying new foods. Thanks, Jeff!
I went to Greece two years ago and the breakfast buffets they had in the hotels were really good - they’d have Greek yogurt, the really thick stuff you can eat with a fork and honey in a huge bowl. Our tour guide told me how to dish it up: you put a few spoonfuls of yogurt in the bowl and make little pits in it and then spoon the honey into the pits. She also told me NOT to mix it all together, just eat it by the spoonful because you don’t want honey in every bite, the flavors compliment themselves better. Ever since I went there, I do it the same way, esp if I can get imported Greek yogurt or, more commonly, Lebanese labna or Bulgarian yogurt.
When everything happened that ended the program his wife had divorced him and, as they had a kid together, he ended up with a high child support payment (based on his TV income). He tried to get the courts to lower it, various things happened (I think his lawyer ended up in jail at one point), and he's basically disappeared from the public eye.
Biscuits and sausage gravy is probably worse, healthwise, than an egg and a couple strips of bacon. The cornmeal mush is basically polenta. Holy crap he puts a lot of syrup on it. Funny how we think the carbs from things like grits are now the problem and the cholesterol from eggs and bacon are not.
after sesame street, this would come on and i would watch it without question. its sad what happened to him towards the end, but i can't say anything but , my love of cooking, is because of this man!
@ 3:43 ooof, the misinformation of the 1980s and 90s! The bacon and eggs meal there is more healthy than all the other meals he presented which contain either starchy rice, or bread or beans full of carbohydrates. The bacon and eggs is pure protein and fat. Zero carbs or starch. edit: holy shit, and then proceeds to make biscuits and gravy! LMAO okayyy Jeff!
At 2:00. A better example of what the Brits like for breakfast is a "Full English". This consists of fried bread, eggs, chips, baked beans, blood pudding, fried tomatoes, sausages, and fried mushrooms.
In the Philippines they are adapted the Chinese rice porridge is called goto for Filipino if you buy we will go to Manila for the gotohan restaurant for the rainy season in the Philippines
Plain grits have very little taste. We do it one of 2 ways 1. Salt/pepper to taste and BUTTER/ MARGARINE IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY 2 The other side uses sugar and butter, molasses or maple syrup. 3 you can also use grits in place of cornmeal mush as it's almost the same thing. I prefer grits because it holds it shape better for the polenta
That Dutch breakfast was similar to what locals in Germany, Switzerland, and Czech Republic ate when I visited family back in 2004. Czech Republic breakfast and dinner both were cold cuts; similar to what Americans eat for lunch, much better quality than the cheap cheese and salami commonly sold in US supermarkets.
It's the hair loss and beard that makes him look older. But he doesn't look or act like most people in their 70's he moves too quickly and his voice is strong. Look at people in their 70's. Even Sylvester Stallone (who had a hair transplant a while ago) and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both still in great shape for their age but they both do not move like they did in their 50's. Especially Arnold...he has really slowed....
I find it incredibly ironic to hear him talk about fat and cholesterol and getting it out of your diet, while he ended up dying of heart disease. I'm sure there were other factors that led to that besides his diet but still.
Yep, he suffered from heart disease for more than 20 years and had to have heart valve surgery in 1981 due to damage from a disease when he was a child, which is why he was always promoting low fat, low cholesterol recipes.
His real deal was that he LOVED culture, the foods and eating rituals attached to it, and wasn't afraid to have a good time. He would encourage his audience to do the same--often with a glass of wine. I always felt that he lived as if he had one foot in heaven already--an attitude for which I'm enormously grateful and even now I sorely miss.
Having had heart disease prompted him to develop his Cooking with Wine series. He notes that the chlorides in wine can replace sodium chloride and have the same effect on flavor. He pointed out that it's not the sodium that provides the flavor, it's the chloride. I think we've since learned more about cholesterol since he developed his recipes, though, so that simply avoiding all cholesterol isn't the best, only strategy.
Interesting to see just how wrong he was with all that low fat nonsense. The bacon & eggs was definitely the healthiest dish. But watching this definitely takes me back to childhood
Saturday mornings when Jeff, Martin Yan, Julia Childs and Jacques. Pepin, and so many others were new on PBS and one could actually learn to cook and none of the competitions that have taken their place. Thank you for bringing Mr Smith back!
You know he's a pedophile right?
Thank you, I don't understand the competition shows either!
Did you know he molested boys? He was widely known in Seattle to have 'done things' to boys in the 70s.
Same here. Pepin was the one who taught me how to make a proper French omelet.
when this song came on, it hit me square in the nostalgia. love!!
Brings back so many memories, watching this with my parents
I grew up with Jeff Smith. My dad LOVED watching him. I liked being able to watch something that my dad didn't hate and being together with my dad.
He was a child molester dude
This guy is my childhood! More than Bob Ross!
Sometimes I would skip school just to watch his show. Yes--more than Bob Ross.
Totally. I'm not even watching this because I like to cook. I just remember him coming on after the Bugs Bunny and Tweety show when I was a kid.
PBS was great
This is one of the few shows that I loved to watch with my parents as a small child. When I was 9 years old we went to a book signing and got to meet him. Ahhh, 1992.....
I miss him so much
Despite his sad ending (career and life), a true pioneer in the genre of culinary television. He -- along with Julia Child, Justin Wilson, Graham Kerr, Chef Tell, Earl Peyroux and anyone I missed -- were The Food Channel before there was a Food Channel.
@stooge81: a couple that you'd missed were Paul Prudholme
Stephen Yan
The Urban Peasant
Keith Floyd conspicuously absent in this chat.. He was the original prototype for ALL "personality" chefs since the early 80s, and an international star.
I agree... these folks were definitely a big part of my childhood
No matter how much he made your childhood jeff smith was an pathetic pedophile
He r@ped children what is wrong with you people
For me, every Saturday afternoon with this chef during the 90's. I'd spend hours watching PBS cooking shows. It was my happy time.....RIP to so many.
This show, HomeTime and This Old House were shows I used to watch with my grandparents on my Nickelodeon break.

He really liked kids.
Brandon Greenleaf 😂
Absolutely.. these low fat, no cholesterol jerks helped destroy the minds of at least 3 generations
Nope, bacon is still incredibly unhealthy; very high in sodium and cholesterol. The high fat, low carbohydrates argument has been proven false.

Grew up watching this man, loved the show, thanks for sharing.
I've missed this guy...I grew up watching Jeff. He was so engaging to the viewers while cooking.
Dude he molested kids.
Still miss him while he burns in hell??
Thank you for re-upping these! I wish PBS or whoever holds the rights would release these!
Likewise, unfortunately the the problems he faced near the end of his life makes that unlikely.

As a kid growing up in Chicago, I remember Jeff Smith! Always watched him and Justin Wilson. :-)
For me it was in San Francisco watching The Frugal Gourmet
For me, it was The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr. And of course, Julia Child.
I was just watching Justin Wilson right before this! I’m also from Chicago.
Yep KQED 1pm in the early 90s
Pbs in Chicago
He’s the best! “Calm down! I’m not talking pancakes.” LOL
For some reason, I've never forgotten this man's voice. Man I loved this show as a kid!
This guy was one of my intros to cooking. Thanks Jeff.
His demeanor and voice was very comforting and kind during the show. As a kid in the early to mid 80's I would watch this show and Justin Wilson's show as well. Great memories.....
I "gar-ron-tee"! You can find some Justin Wilson episodes here on YT here: www.youtube.com/@JustinWilson_SPLLC
I remember many a Saturday late morning and all afternoon sitting watching PBS cooking shows. Jeff, Martin Yan, Ciao Italia, Lydia Bastianich and of course Pepin and Julia. Great memories 😊

Wow i totally forgot about this dude. Welcome Back into my life my Friend.
Thank you SO MUCH ! I loved this show, thank you for taking the time for putting these on here!
As soon as I heard the great music, I knew this would be a wonderful show....that was years ago when I was a student. So happy to watch Jeff once again. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for reuploading these videos
My mom loved this show and would make his recipes. Delish.
Thank you so much for this!!! I use to watch Jeff in my early childhood daily. Awesome.
Loved this guy in the 80s on PBS. Still have 2 or 3 of his fabulous cookbooks! The first one in particular was well used & the pgs were stained with frequent use.💟
I have a near complete collection myself. Lovely books.
I have several episodes I recorded on VHS.
It's so nice to see Jeff's smiling face and hear his enthusiastic voice as far his love of food and history are concerned.
But he better STFU about eggs & bacon and trashing what Americans have for breakfast maybe once or twice a week. Most Americans grow up on cereal.
@@hollyperrin7353huh
A trip back to my childhood😊
To watch this brought me back to my childhood. We really had it that much better!
Has anyone ever watched The Urban Peasant with host James Barber? It ran on CBC in Canada for many years. He often would start a recipe with "Take a whole stick of butter and put it in the pan. Yes, I said a whole stick of butter." I used many of his recipes during graduate school.
Yeah, there are a few episodes here on YT! Funny guy.
I’m good with all this, but hinting that bacon and eggs is worse than biscuits and gravy health-wise gave me a chuckle.
Back in the 80s and 90s, fat was the enemy.
My late dad used to make sausage - had an old grinder. Used to buy pork shoulders & bone them himself & stuff natural casings. Great stuff! He used to make a small amount of Polish-style for me.
Man, I loved this guy. If I could be anyone, minus the late-life controversies, I'd do it in a hot second--The food, the culture, the story-telling.
so you don't know that he's a disgraced predator? google it.
@@MalcomJuliaMorgan obvs you can write, but how's your reading comprehension?
We watched him every week. We also recorded him on VHS and had entire video tape of his shows…and Martha Stewart!
Still love these! Eggs are so unhealthy then suggests biscuits and gravy! LOL!!!!!!!!!
Well planned show . Saluted. Oldie but a goodie
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!!!!!
The Frugal Gourmet, Jacques P'epin, Julia Child, Justin Wilson and Wolfgang Puck. Childhood memories indeed 😊
I watched this every Saturday!
This episode specifically taught me how to do biscuits and gravy.
I watched him all the time!!!
Was wondering about this guy about a month ago and found his book in a thrift store today. Now, I’m here.
Book is great btw 👍🏾
I loved this show growing up
I love how all the processed food passed muster: sausage, cheese, cold cuts, chocolate sprinkles, biscuits, gravy, maple syrup. We all good here. But two eggs and bacon? Oh my, big no no, haven't you heard about CHOLESTEROL? 🤣
This would be why he died of heart disease
@@jenniferedlund369 Maybe, but at least he tried to get people to eat better.
Also, food science in the 80's wasn't what it is today. They thought fat was the big enemy, when it was actually saturated fats and sugar.
I watched this all the time when I was 6 years old. It was this and Sesame Street. His show made me love cooking and food.
I loved this show, the feels.
He got me interested in cooking. I still use his omelet technique I learned 50 years ago.
Same thing with me
Between Jeff Smith, Justin Wilson, Stephen Yan, Julia Child, Jacques Pepin and even Wolfgang Puck, amongst others sparked my interest in cooking
Always loved watching him!
Nice addition!
People asked me where i learned to cook, my kitchen, and this guy!
This brings back so many fun childhood memories watching The Frug on Tuesday nights on PBS. He taught me how to cook and be confident about trying new foods. Thanks, Jeff!
Wow, that theme song brought me back! Such a great show, it's too bad things ended the way they did.

My son and I loved his show together we made many of his recipes ❤❤ ❤
I saw this guy at a Denny's in Tacoma ordering plate after plate of bacon and eggs.
He was blackmailed by liars. He was innocent of all charges
My mother loved him and had all his cookbooks. This man was my childhood friend. And then he disappeared.
I wanted to be a chef because if this guy. Now I just eat.
LOL! Saaaame!
Wow!! Some core memories with this show
I need to taste it again. I think about that corn meal story.
I used to love watching this me and my mom use to love how he say guarantee
I think you're thinking of Justin Wilson, the "Cajun Chef". He had TV series and books, too. He would say, "Ah gar-awn-tee!"
I enjoyed the cooking shows of yesterday, there was usually a lesson involved besides recipes
These are the OGs that the food network stars should be thankful for. I wonder what happened to his assistant, reminded me of toby maguire
When everything happened that ended the program his wife had divorced him and, as they had a kid together, he ended up with a high child support payment (based on his TV income).

Funny how we think the carbs from things like grits are now the problem and the cholesterol from eggs and bacon are not.
People in the 80s thought fat made you fat. So EVERYTHING was low fat. Was such a horrible trend.
Things on tv we watched as kids .....
When there was nothing else to watch I watch this as a kid
Dad and I always cooked together to this show
NGL. I see that biscuit & gravy and think, "Are you going to eat that, or have you already?"
I loved this show when I was growing up
Reminds me of growing up in 1990s Chicago.
I remember I wanted to lurn to cook as a kid because of this man can we go back to1986to 1999 I was a child then
My childhood...lol ❤️ I cook my butt off now
after sesame street, this would come on and i would watch it without question. its sad what happened to him towards the end, but i can't say anything but , my love of cooking, is because of this man!
Absolutely!!! My roasts are great lol So glad we learned something from him 🙂🙂
Add the juice from fried apples to the order of grits and it is delicious. I have tried it and it is very good to eat.
@ 3:43 ooof, the misinformation of the 1980s and 90s! The bacon and eggs meal there is more healthy than all the other meals he presented which contain either starchy rice, or bread or beans full of carbohydrates.

Yo Noid where is part 2 of Breakfast?? Is it tied up in copyright??
I love how the 80's was all about animal fat....and the whole "carbs" into sugar/fat didn't become a thing for like another 15 years
At 2:00. A better example of what the Brits like for breakfast is a "Full English". This consists of fried bread, eggs, chips, baked beans, blood pudding, fried tomatoes, sausages, and fried mushrooms.
Saw this guy a few times on PBS in 80s and early 90s.
I am looking for light dinners for the summer I have your cookbook I found it in my mother's things
I like that no McBombos and lots of bran Thank You Mr Smith you make eating fun👍👍
In the Philippines they are adapted the Chinese rice porridge is called goto for Filipino if you buy we will go to Manila for the gotohan restaurant for the rainy season in the Philippines
He'd be on right after Saturday Morning Cartoons.
This is Alton Brown of the 1980's!
You can use milk( butter or sweet) for cornmeal mush.
I've made corn meal mush all my life or in spanish-arina de maiz- half milk half water & golden raisins
@nildabridgeman8104 ooo! That sounds GOOD 👍. I love Golden raisins
Plain grits have very little taste. We do it one of 2 ways

My dad was in the Navy, and it was a regular menu item for breakfast. He'd serve it to us kids sometimes growing up, loved it!
@@yonoid1087 i love chipped beef. in highschool, if it was taco tuesday and they were serving chipped beef. O_o? what tacos LOL
I lived on a Coast Guard base while working as a lifeguard during college and the galley used to serve it for dinner. Delicious!
I remember this dude when I was a kid. Saw him make "duck pate" from Philly hot dog Frank's. Shit you not.
I used to watch this guy as a kid. I always thought he was cool.
I used to watch "The Frug" when I was a kid.
Looking like the BTK guy
I learned how to use tinfoil, not for cooking, but for windows from one of the Smith's. It blocks radiant heat and keeps your house dark and cool.
Elvis did that at Graceland and anywhere else he could.
Yeah, probably to block out the light and for privacy. Maybe a little paranoia too.
Or a tinfoil hat
The crackhouse look.
Damn, people sure did age quicker back then, because Jeff was in his 50 here, but he looks like if he was in his 70s.
It's the hair loss and beard that makes him look older. But he doesn't look or act like most people in their 70's he moves too quickly and his voice is strong. Look at people in their 70's.
