Wow, now here's a blast from the past.
I remember watching Chef Tell (Paul Erhardt) on television in the 70s, 80s and 90s, on such shows as Evening Magazine, Live with Regis & Kathie Lee, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, and his own PBS cooking show, In The Kitchen With Chef Tell. This was after Julia but before Emeril, one of the very first celebrity chefs (and he really was a chef, becoming a Master Chef before age 30) that everyone knew.
Erhardt died of heart failure in Upper Black Addy, PA. He was 63 and had just completed his last book, about diabetic cooking.
