This is very disheartening, one of my favorite chefs and TV hosts Chef Jacob passed away last week due to cardiac arrest. A talented chef and avid food historian, he holds a world record for doing the longest barbeque, making 485 different types of Indian kababs in 24 hours.
In the second half of the show, he had about half dozen kids who he used to teach how to cook by giving them each their own counter and ingredients and demonstrating with a simple a step by step procedure. I loved this part of the show the most.
I pray God gives strength to his grieving family and friends, he will be fondly missed by thousands of his fans and food lovers.
RIP Chef Jacob, I highly doubt if South India will ever get a food historian and an amazing chef half as good as you.
Post Script: I have been on a hiatus for about few months now, moving to a new country, going back to Grad school, breaking my leg (literally) and limping around on crutches for about 2 months, I never got the opportunity to post anything but this news moved me so much I just had share my thoughts.

Chef Jacob
My mom and I used to love watching his cookery show "Aaha Enna Rusi" every Saturday, you can find him cooking some amazing authentic food in the most unusual locations, once he was seated on top of cliff and another time in the middle of water fall, on top of a tree, and most usually in the middle of a field. Besides exploring the terrain and doing some out door cooking, he used to keep the audience engaged with his sense of humor.In the second half of the show, he had about half dozen kids who he used to teach how to cook by giving them each their own counter and ingredients and demonstrating with a simple a step by step procedure.
