Daddy Jack's

02/23/2026

Daddy Jack loved a snowday — despite us not owning a plow and him making us shovel our entire driveway by hand(!), we always had the best memories, all snowed in. There was always a pot of soup on the stove, a fire in the fireplace — and mandatory "family shovels" where we all got out there and shoveled for hours. As this blizzard rolls on, I can’t help but think of our dad — how much we miss him, and how much he would love teaching his legendary shoveling techniques to our newest “baby girl,” Marlee. ❄️ We hope that you are all staying safe and warm!

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and our #1 guy was a die hard Patriots fan- we know he’s looking down ready for game day 🏈

Who’s everybody else rooting for? And equally important- what game day snacks are on the menu?

Stay warm!

What’s better during a snowstorm than a warm hearty soup? We’re thinking our dad’s Yukon Gold Potato Soup sounds pretty perfect ❄️

Don’t forget to stop by Pezzello Bros. Public Market for snow storm groceries and soup ingredients!

Tonight we’re cooking up one of our dad’s classics — a quick and delicious crispy Parmesan Shrimp. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and ready in minutes, just the way our dad liked it. 🍤

Big shoutout to Bryan Hunt at Fish Niantic for our beautiful shrimp, and to Rubirosa for their pink vodka sauce, which pairs perfectly with this dish! Give it a try, let us know how it comes out, and go easy on us for our first recipe 🤣

Good morning Daddy Jacks and CWTB family! Our messages have been flooded lately with videos and pictures of you all cooking our dad’s recipes and nothing makes us happier! We had to share this one from Ryan Scialoia:

“Hey I am a huge fan of the YouTube channel. My dad who loves food showed me cooking with the blues and your dad has taught me how to cook. I was deeply emotionally moved by your Thank You video. It had me in tears. I have commented on many of the videos about how your dad is the best but I felt I had to send a personal message about how much your dad has impacted me. Here was my first attempt at eggplant Parmesan that your dad taught me how to make. Your dad may not be here on the physical realm but he is with me every time I cook. Every time I feed my loved ones your dad had a hand in it. I will attach the video that was associated with this recipe. Sending you all my love and of course…. PEACE!”

Thank you Ryan, so much- we wish we were there to try your Eggplant Parm! ♥️ Rachel & Luci

We were so touched to see a photo of our dad in the January issue of Soundwaves Magazine. He wrote for Soundwaves for many years and took immense pride in his columns. He formed lifelong friendships along the way—especially with editor Dave Pottie—and always loved seeing his friends, including Ali of and others, spotlighted. Thank you, Dave!

PS. Our aprons are almost back in stock. Stay tuned!

We hope you all had a wonderful few days with your families filled with lots of good food and laughter. We certainly did! 🌲

Today was a really special day for us- we delivered another case of spices to Pezzello Brothers, and to SunnySide Diner and Harp & Dragon restaurants to use in their kitchens. We are feeling truly blessed and so thankful for our new community partnerships ♥️

We’d love to see what everybody cooked up for Christmas in the comments below!

By popular demand- a quick and easy mashed potato recipe from our favorite guy.

We all know Yukon gold potatoes are the only way to go. The real question: skin on or off? There’s a right answer to this question 😉.

Wishing you all a cozy Sunday night!
