Who was Friedman Paul Erhardt?

Friedemann Paul Erhardt was a German American pioneering early television chef. He was known as "Chef Tell" to his fans. He is widely regarded as one of the first chefs to enjoy widespread popularity on American television. Erhardt's thick German accent reportedly made him the inspiration for the Swedish Chef, a well known Muppet character on The Muppet Show, although this is denied by Brian Henson.
