Whatever Happened To Food Network Star Eddie Jackson?

Chef Eddie Jackson loves a talk show — and a competition! He appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in 2024 for a “Super Bowl Dish Competish” with “Pizza Wars” host Nicole Russell, along with some NFL pals — Tiki Barber and Victor Cruz — as judges. The two were challenged to use croutons, canned ham, and marshmallow fluff, and Jackson made double-stuffed cookies to put up against Russell’s pizza bites … he won!

Prior to Barrymore’s show, Jackson also visited Tamron Hall in 2022 and brought his beef goulash recipe to cook, which he described as “universal” and “inexpensive.” On this appearance, he noted he had been with Food Network for seven years, and things were going smoothly. He also said he grew up with grandmothers who were chefs, which inspired his love of cooking.

Also in 2022, Jackson went on “The Wendy Williams Show” when Sherri Shepherd was guest hosting, and he cooked some greens in a skillet with a balsamic glaze. This dish lead Shepherd to write on Facebook, “Ladies, every woman needs a Eddie in the kitchen next to them!”
