Chef Boiardi was indeed employed at the Greenbriar. He catered the wedding reception for President Woodrow Wilson there.

Lol! I love The Chef too!!
I was gonna suggest everyone send him a can after he losses his election, but we’ll need it for ourselves. Let him starve…
I’m starting to think that maybe we are reaching a turning point with so many people of ALL colors turning against the democrats. I hope I’m not wrong.
We can’t keep going in the direction we are going, this is madness.
I love angel hair pasta. My wife calls canned pasta “Medicani” pasta.
She’s 100% Sicilian.
My waist line is getting too big eating all that pasta, but it sure is good!
Um... no Foolin... Shetlock
being the chef in charge of spicing and preparing C-rats was the springboard that launched a corporate Chef Boyardee.
Send him the empty cans.
“Um... no Foolin... Shetlock”
Gee, you would think the Official Chef Boyardee website would mention Boiardi working with the military on rations, but it doesn’t. I wonder why? If it really happened.
I think being Head Chef of a World Class restaurant like at the Plaza Hotel in NYC would be all the springboard anyone would need.
Look, Wikipedia ain’t your friend.
Show me somewhere OTHER THAN WIKI that supports your claim.
I showed you mine, show up.
Mass cult brainwashing. Stockholm pavlovian syndrome?
Whatever they say the dims go along out of imaginary fear of torture. To much MSnbc/The View.
I was raised on Chef Boyardee Raviolios, Spaghettios and every other “O”. Also, “Froot Loops”. My mother swore they actually contained fruit. When I got older I explained why it’s spelled “Froot”. Liability Mom.
Between Chef Boyarde canned sugar noodles and generic “Raisin Bran” we can all save enough to buy those $100,000 electric cars these idiots are going to force on us.
In the early 90s, working making good nursing wages, my collogues and I had to deal with ghetto parents daily that ate steak and lobster while driving luxury cars. I ate mostly with my parents, and bought boxes of macaroni for my two toddlers because it was $0.25 a box. I couldn’t afford to buy it canned. My money was used by someone else for filet mignon, lobster, free cable, phones, etc., while they stole the nursery blind of syringes and diaper scales, and assaulted nurses. Morons in politics.
Chef Boyardee ain’t that cheap. Spaghettio’s, on the other hand...
“you would think the Official Chef Boyardee website would mention Boiardi working with the military on rations, but it doesn’t. I wonder why? If it really happened.”
That is odd.
“The U.S. military commissioned the company during World War II for the production of army rations, requiring the factory to run 24 hours a day. At its peak, the company employed approximately 5,000 workers and produced 250,000 cans per day. After the war ended, Boiardi had to choose between selling the company or laying off everyone he had hired. He sold the company to American Home Foods in 1946 for nearly $6 million, and remained as a spokesman and consultant for the brand until 1978.”
He did in fact have a small company producing sauces but without the military contract he never would have had the expansion necessary to build that brand.

Okay he did work with the government but he had his business up and running long before the war. He sold the factory after the war instead of laying off the workers he’d hired during the war years.
Any way you want to look at it Chef Ettore Boiardi was a great talent who lived an exceptional life. I remember his spaghetti kits, the only time we got spaghetti back on the farm.
