I remember the ‘Galloping Gourmet’; but dearer to my heart was Friedemann Paul Erhardt, popularly known as Chef Tell, whom we saw on local Metro DC television - he was famous for his catch phrase “Very Simple, Very Easy”:

Chef Tell. He was also seen in the Dallas market. I do remember him but failed to remember when and how often his show aired here. Years seem to fade memories. Though his name was easily remembered after your gentle prod, his face was no more than a blank. Googled him and found that he had never become an American citizen until late in life ((originally from Germany) until Richard M. Nixon had offered his name for citizenship recognition. And once seeing his image, his face recognized. LOL, it was claimed the man was the basis for the chef he see on the Muppets.
