CHEF TELL Co-Founder Health Craft Cookware - See Video REGIS PHILBIN interview

by Health Craft Charles Knight
Before The Food Network, there was Chef Tell-- the TV persona of Friedemann Paul Erhardt, America's first TV showman chef. Big on personality and flavor, Chef Tell was once described by Philadelphia magazine as the "affably roguish Bad Boy of the Philadelphia restaurant world." Chef Tell explores how a young German American chef became America's biggest TV celebrity chef of his time. Most of Chef Tell's forty million baby boomer viewers--a number comparable to Julia Child's--never knew his fascinating, hardscrabble life story.

Regis Philbin "A Tribute to Chef Tell"

CHEF TELL Regis Philbin interview excerpt from Stephen Eckelberry on Vimeo.

Emmy-winning TV host extraordinaire, Regis Philbin, wrote about his friend CHEF TELL,

“Tell started all this television madness about TV chefs… Of course, today’s TV chefs owe him a debt of gratitude, he was the first. He could cook and talk at the same time.”  — Regis Philbin 

The official book about Chef Tell’s life is CHEF TELL THE BIOGRAPHY OF AMERICA’S PIONEER TV SHOWMAN CHEF, authored by Ronald Joseph Kule and published by Skyhorse Publishing of NYC. It is available online in Hardcover, eBook and AudioBook formats.  At over 452 pages with 110,000+ words, 70 photographs, and never-before-published recipes for a grand, seven-course dinner, the book is a keepsake for generations to read and enjoy.
