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 his own restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. 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 was proud of his Italian heritage, and sold his products under the brand name "chef boy-ar-dee" so that his American customers could pronounce it properly. Today, products that still bear Hector Boiardi's universally recognized likeness. About conagra foods: Chef Boyardee is a member of the conagra foods family.
