Food is good. Even if money were no object, you can almost always make stuff better at home. And homemade mac & cheese is so darned good...
Not all that long ago, Spaghetti-Os were on sale...cheap. I figured they might be handy to have on hand; I mean, I liked them as a kid. So I bought some, and opened one up. Yuck. Off to the food pantry with them for someone's tasteless kid to eat. (I guess you know that "Boyardee" is the phonetic spelling of the guy's real name: Boiardi.)
No I didn't know, I wonder if he really was a chef, if so I'd like to know what he did with the money for cooking school.
Ettore Biordi was born in Italy and arrived at Ellis Island at the age of 16 in 1914. His brother worked in the restaurant at the Plaza Hotel in NYC, where Ettore worked his way up to the position of head chef. He left the Plaza Hotel and opened a restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. Customers began asking Boiardi for his spaghetti sauce, which he began to distribute in milk bottles, and four years later Boiardi opened a factory in Pennsylvania.
