Can you remember these celebrity chefs from classic TV?
Let's see if you have the recipe for success.

Chefs have been showing us skills on the small screen since the very beginning of the medium. Many of them have become household names, thanks to their long-running PBS shows, cookbooks and grocery brands. Let's see how well you remember these top chefs — and a couple fictional characters.
