You know you love the delicious flavors of Chef Boyardee, but did you know that behind this real great food is a real great chef? Before there was Chef Boyardee, there was Hector Boiardi. And it's time you met the real great chef behind this real great food. The Chef Boyardee brand is named after its founder, Hector Boiardi. Born in Italy in 1897, Boiardi immigrated to the U.S. in 1914, and followed his brother to the kitchen of The Plaza Hotel in New York City, where he quickly worked his way up to head chef. In 1924, Boiardi opened the Il Giardino d'Italia (The Garden of Italy) restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a smash, and when customers began asking him for his recipes and ingredients, he got the idea to sell his culinary creations. Thus, an empire was born. Chef Hector opened a factory in 1928. He introduced his products to America a year later, touting his now-famous spaghetti dinner as a delicious and economical choice to serve to the entire family. Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name "Chef Boy-Ar-Dee" so that his American customers could pronounce it properly.

GardenGrocer.com obtains nutritional information from claims made by the products' manufacturers on labels. We have made every effort to be as accurate as possible; however we do suggest that you continue to read labels as ingredients are subject to change and we cannot be responsible for individual reactions to any products. We do not investigate to determine if the label information is accurate. We do our best to record the information as it appears and keep nutritional content information current, but there are thousands of products in our store, manufacturers frequently change formulations, and we may not notice when a manufacturer changes the nutritional claims on a product's label. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the information on our website is 100% accurate and current. In addition, the product images displayed on our site are for reference only and may not reflect the most current packaging.
