Jacques Pepin and Julia Child Make Pan Bagnat - Foodie Flicks

by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Feb 23rd 2009 @ 1:00PM

At first I was going to show you Julia Child's jiggling omelette technique, but then something else caught my eye -- two greats in the kitchen. Julia and Jacques Pepin team up to make a Pan Bagnat.

It's a delicious sandwich to watch come together, but the real charm of this clip is the interplay between Julia and Jacques. With even the most good-natured cooks there will be inevitable clashes, and these two are no exception -- although it's more jovial surprise and disagreement than clashing. Julia loves throwing the oil into the mix, and adding things here and there, while Pepin tries to go with the flow. But as much as he tries to run the sandwich making show, Julia's the Queen of the Kitchen. Watch to see her lay the smackdown for the appropriate Pan Bagnat beverage. Pepin's good, but he's no match for Julia!

I like them individually but together the chemistry is perfect. If you can watch any of Julia's original shows she's a hoot!

I don't care for sauces but Jacques' peasant food makes me think I like his 'French' cooking more than a meal at a four star restaurant.

I liked Justin Wilson as well but he is in his own class and does not compete well with the A team. I wish I could remember the guy out of Pensacola (FL) who loved pepper, he was almost as entertaining as Justin.

I think cooking shows lost some 'flavor' when they became so common. I could watch five cooking shows on a Saturday morning - once upon a time (being in Texas some were BBQ :).

John and Caprial (I think that was the name of the show) made a good attempt at an entertaining show but the dishes were a bit too 'west coast' for me. The ingredients also seemed to be selected by the sponsor du jour. Still, a good show over all - it just depended on the episode.
