If you’re addicted to the Food Network (like I am) then most of these names will be familiar to you. All of these Canadian TV chefs have starred on their own cooking shows and have shared their colourful culinary know-how with the masses. Here are the top 10.

No, he’s not just the guy who is frantically putting Tabasco sauce on his food in those commercials – Blumer is also the host and co-creator of the award-winning television series “Glutton for Punishment.”

Lynn Crawford

Hosting Food Network’s “Restaurant Makeover” and most recently “Pitchin’ In” (where she’s oh-so-endearing), Crawford received tremendous media attention as the executive chef of Four Seasons Hotel in New York City, where she was the only female executive chef for a Four Seasons property in the world.

Chuck Hughes
