Description

Hector Boiardi immigrated to New York City from Italy. After the success of his restaurant, the chef decided to start selling food packages for patrons to make his famous meals at home. He later joined together with his brothers to form a large scale production of the meals. The business took the name "Chef Boyardee", using an easily to pronounce spelling of the original Italian last name. Chef Boyardee opened a factory in Milton, Pa. in 1938. This calendar commemorates the 75th anniversary of the factory, which occurred in 2013. As of 2017, factory is still in operation.
