Celebrity Chefs, Tall and Short

Here is a $400 clue from the 2/20/2015 Jeopardy! match that Alex Trebek filmed at the National Museum in Washington D.C.: “Higher than normal counters helped accommodate the 6′ 2″ height of this chef who used this very kitchen not only privately but also to achieve television fame.” Then he added “Bon Appétit!” in an imitation of the 6′ 2″ chef’s voice that, of course, gave it away.

It also led us to wonder how many other celebrity chefs were as tall or taller than Julia Child. While we were at it, we came up with this list of famous cooks ranging in height from 6′ 3″ to 4′ 11″.
