From the moment I sat down to watch my first episode of "The French Chef," I was hooked on cooking shows.In fact, based on the number of hours I've spent studying Julia, Gordon and Alton, I ought to be a superchef myself. Alas, that's not the case. But if there's one thing I can do better than Chef Tell, it's tell you about the best shows in the genre.And with a dizzying array of shows aired on entire networks devoted to cooking, you're going to need a roadmap.So, with that in mind, here is our list of the "Top 100 Cooking Shows of All Time." Read it to re-visit some of your old favorites, or study it carefully to discover some new gems.Either way, enjoy the list, let us know what you think and, please, no wagering.
