Join Milwaukee PBS on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, from 12:30 – 2 p.m. CT for a national virtual event honoring legendary chef and culinary personality Jacques Pépin.

Jacques sits down for a wide ranging discussion which will include: reflections on his career, his decades-long connection to public media, the important work he does with his foundation, and his enduring role as a culinary icon. There will also be time during the event where you can ask Jacques your own questions. 

Our virtual event occurs a few weeks in advance of Jacques’ 90th  birthday, which takes place Dec. 18, 2025. Join us to celebrate all things Jacques!
