JFK's Last Meal - November 22, 1963

this could be a whole series by itself. Caesar's last meal, the Romanov's last meal, Elvis' last meal, Rasputin's last meal (ok maybe skip that one)

My mom and dad were married on the day JFK was killed. They were at the reception when they heard about it. My dad made the joke till his dying day that millions of women cried all over the world the day he got married.

Soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers to dip is a cherished memory from childhood. Mum would make us kids them as a treat. Also whenever we were sick, she’d do a soft boiled egg, peeled and smashed up with a bit of butter in a cup. It was great when you didn’t feel like eating but needed something nourishing. She made me one this last May when I was recovering from an infection and two abscesses from a wisdom tooth removal that had gone bad. It was so damned good after a week with very little food.

This feels like an episode people in the future might use to figure out what a ‘simple breakfast’ used to be. Always love your videos

Jackie was a real class act. I saw a doc. and after the assassination, she was (obviously) covered with blood, etc. When they asked her to change out of her clothes she said, "No, I want them to see what they've done to Jack".

Max Miller with the NatGeo support!!! It just feels good that such an oldazz institution would agree with a sentiment that everyone in the comments already knew -- this is one of the best history AND food programs out there right now.

The fried chicken and soda bottle you mentioned found on the 6th floor did not belong to Oswald as originally thought. It was left behind by co-worker James Jarman who sat on the 6th floor eating his lunch while waiting for the motorcade. After eating, he heard some of his co-workers down below on the 5th floor, so we left to join them, leaving the remains of his lunch behind.

Jackie was related to the Vanderbilts. I've toured their home three times since I moved down to North Carolina. If you haven't done it once, I suggest you go as soon as you can. Plus, it's not only historical, it's also romantic. Take José with you. Plan to stay at least overnight because there's a lot to do. You'll want to do a bit more than just tour the house, the gardens, and visit Antler Hill Village, including the free wine tasting at their winery. Oh, and don't forget to check out the creamery where they make their ice cream homemade. Plus, they started "alive" art tour things. They're new every year. Starting November 7th, they have Christmas at Biltmore. It's very pretty. You should see their 35-foot tall tree that the entire staff works on together in the 70-foot high banquet hall. They also have Christmas at Biltmore red and white wines every year. If you don't get them for the wine, get them for the hand painted art. They're only available until the end of the year. (I hope I made someone interested in visiting this place.)

For some people with chicken egg allergies, try duck eggs. You can get them in most grocery stores now days and they work just fine in place of chicken eggs in cooking. In fact they were used as replacements for the egg in the sandwich that Margot Robbie ate in the movie "Bird of Prey". My son is allergic and we found the duck eggs work for him, check with your doctor of course before you do. Hope this helps people who have egg allergies enjoy things they miss eating.

If no one has said it before now, Max, we the viewers dont want you to risk anaphylaxis so feel free to skip trying eggs in the videos. We can get the idea of what the egg would be like. If you insist on the eggs being tried then please enlist a substitute taster to keep yourself safe. You and your channel would be sorely missed if you had a severe allergic reaction

I think we're all in agreement. We need a Max Miller's Last Suppers mini series.

I was 10 when he was shot! I'll never forget how sad that Thanksgiving was! My Mom had everyone still come . She cooked like a super chef. B and w TV. I was in Catholic school we had to go to Mass to say prayers for the President. My Mom made the Best Thanksgiving Ever! Mom you were always the Best at the Family gatherings.Love always your Son Dennis

I watched a video from Ask a Mortician months ago that covered the fatal shooting and the conga line of errors that led to his closed casket funeral (his body was no longer in a state to be viewed, RIP), and Jackie's breaking down in tears when it finally caught up to her. She goes into a lot of detail from a funeral director's point of view and I can't recommend it enough. Excited that you got to cover what happened before the last gunshot, and can't wait to see the NatGeo angle, too!

I remember my mother gathering us kids up and standing on the street on Airport Blvd in Houston. Hobby Airport was still Houston Intercontinental in those days. We watched JFK and his motorcade drive by. The next day we were sent home from school early and my mother was crying when I arrived. That's when I was told that the man we saw the day before had been killed in Dallas. Thanks Max for making a man who died 60 years ago more human to a new generation.

I was in first grade living in Austin. All the kids in the family took off from school because we were going to see JFK when he arrived in Austin. I didn't understand what happened. I just remember my mother and grandmother crying. We went through the same thing with RFK while living in Los Angeles. So many tragedies in that family. Thanks for preview of the documentary. I'll be checking it out.

I was 11 when the assassination happened and I remember all the adults around me crying. My Catholic grandmother even had a picture of JFK on the wall next to her picture of Jesus. That's how much he meant to Catholics. Hearing you talk about it made me a little teary-eyed.

Something that I also like to mention about JFKs trip to Texas is he was one of the first presidents to recognize the Hispanic/Latino vote and actually met up with civil rights groups in Houston and planned for one in Austin. In Houston he stopped by a LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS (LULAC) dinner and was only supposed to show up, wave, shake some hands and take pictures. However, the group leaders persuaded and insisted he spoke to the crowd. He then gave a speech and stayed with them for about 20 minutes before leaving

I love that Max is basically a history influencer now, getting invited to screenings and events! I love it!

So happy for you Max! I remember when you just quit Disney to do Youtube full-time, and now you're getting bigger than ever!

The tragic death of JFK hit me so hard as a 7 year old. I watched the whole thing happen on our black and white RCA. My mom screamed and fell to her knees weeping. So this was really hard to watch from that respect, but Max, I caught the look in your eyes as you kept telling us this sad history. That said all I needed to know. Thank you for being you.
