SYNOPSIS:

"Tell started all this television madness about chefs." - Regis Philbin

Germany's youngest Master Chef, Friedemann Paul Erhardt, faces an outdoor audition in Philadelphia for a cooking slot on what will be America's first syndicated television show. UScriptless and using his wit and personality alone, he wins, birthing a new culinary breed: the TV showman chef.

Within weeks, 40,000,000 avid fans tune in to Evening Magazine or PM Magazine to watch "Chef Tell" perform 90-second cooking segments three times a week. His persona, cooking knowledge, and humor sweep across the nation's small screens like a prairie fire! No one has ever seen anyone like him; he is a husky, 6'3", with a Fu-Manchu mustache, a thick German accent, and a quick wit.

PM Magazine's "rock-star chef" draws up to 50 percent market share in 95 percent of their syndicated outlets when Tell's ruggedly masculine appeal crosses gender and generational lines.

"If a housewife or man sees me do something in 90 seconds, they figure they can make it in five minutes," says Tell to reporters. And his fans agree!

Off-camera, Erhardt, having suffered the scars of his post-WWII childhood and, as a teenager, his mother's ignominious suicide, endures his second wife's suicide, sporadic drug use, and clandestine sexual encounters until he finds personal happiness with the one woman he knows he can trust implicitly and love boundlessly. He makes numerous appearances on LIVE! with Regis & Kathy Lee, other TV shows, and at convention center cooking events while operating two successful restaurants in the Greater Philadelphia area and another on Grand Cayman Island. Later, he begins production on an eponymous cooking show, In the Kitchen with Chef Tell. The show airs on PBS locally, pulls high ratings, and gets picked up on syndication. Yet, on Friday, October 26, 2007, Tell unexpectedly dies alone at home, leaving his wife Bunny to pick up the pieces of her life.

Messages of surprise and shock flood the internet, including this one: "Chef Tell has died? Stick a fork in him, he's done," which he would have loved.

(After the memorial service at his church, an open-air gathering at his estate finds over 300 guests and celebrities regaling each other with their favorite F-bomb-laden "Chef Tell" reminiscences before they bid their dear, lost friend, "AUF WIEDERSEHEN!"

Autorenporträt

Ronald Joseph Kule, born in Bogota, Colombia, is the son of a Polish-American Navy veteran father and a blue-blooded Chilean-Colombian mother. He grew up in Levittown, Pennsylvania, the second eldest of eight siblings. Kule attended Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan-once touted as the "Harvard of the Midwest." He was a founding student selected to the avant-garde Charter College program. Having transferred to New York City two years later to pursue applied philosophy studies, he supported his interests through modeling and acting in Manhattan but naively turned down a generous offer from the William Morris Agency before moving to Los Angeles in 1968.In the 1970s, Kule wrote and published poetry, short stories, and articles here and there while taking acting training at the L.A. Academy of Dramatic Arts under its Founder Fred Cook, drawing and painting classes at Mission: Renaissance Art Academy under Founder Larry Gluck, and auditing a series of Hollywood screenwriting workshops with Oscar-winning screenwriter Ernie Lehman. The author studied advanced philosophic studies in Los Angeles and started a sales, sales management, and sales training career that lasted 39 years. In the early 1980s, he published his first book, Sell Better Sell Easier Sell Anything Artfully, leading to his development of acclaimed sales training workshops. Kule has traveled through 40 countries, delivering seminars and speaking engagements in 17, including a week-long seminar in Baoding, China (1987), and a two-day marketing seminar in Moscow, Russia (1988). Writing for the pure love of words and aiming not to waste the 12 years of Latin he received in school, in 2009, he turned off his sales career and began writing and ghostwriting books full-time. Books by Ronald Joseph Kule consistently earn five stars in reader reviews, several written on commission for clients."If you curl up with one of my books and find yourself breathless, provoked, inspired, changed, and feeling like you undertook an important, emotionally satisfying journey, I will have done my job as your author, Ronald Joseph Kule."
