They had this up to the early 1990's and then no more. The sauce was absolutely incredible. Nothing like their canned regular stuff. Very high quality.
In 1958 was the first time I ever ate spaghetti and it was Chef Boyardee packaged spaghetti. I thought it was the best thing I have ever eaten and I was 8. My mother only made one box for 4 people. So disappointing. Today, I make a very special sauce that all my children and grandchildren request. It isn't the same as Chef Boyardee but he inspired me when I was a small child.
I miss this, I loved it so much! My grandma would make it also for dinner. I remember opening the little can of meat sauce and licking the lid...we had grown up very poor and well, it feed 5 of us, 3 siblings and my Grandma and Mom❤ Good memories!!😀😃
1 Box!? For 4!? Sir I'm so very sorry as I'm 33 to date and Spaghetti is a very common food for me that I mastered in making and make more then anyone can eat. You came from those humble but rough beginnings that I must respect! So respect sir.
What would Hector boiardi say about his spaghetti today now that the whole thing is in a can minus the cheese? I still eat the cheese ravioli today. Its really good with the tomato sauce unlike the beef one that comes in the generic pasta sauce. They sell it for 87 cents a can at Walmart. Just bought 20 cans of it yesterday and had 2 cans worth for lunch today. Good stuff! But still, I wonder what he would say about his spaghetti in a can if he were alive today.
Yes, there was a real "Chef Boy-ar-dee". His name was Ettore "Hector" Boiardi, and he operated a successful Italian restaurant in Cleveland during the 1920s and '30s. His customers liked his spaghetti sauce SO much, he began giving it to them "on the side" (eventually, with grated cheese and uncooked spaghetti) - then, he sold a "complete spaghetti dinner" in packages, with other canned products, and concentrated on that business. By the end of the '40s, American Home Products bought him out..
Then in the 1990’s,American Home Products merged with Hunt-Wesson/Beatrice and Conagra to become Conagra Brands LLC. And Recently,they acquired Hormel in 2016 which the combined company is now called Conagra-Hormel Brands LLC.Actually Hunt-Wesson merged with Beatrice in the 1980’s and Northern-Simon at the same time to become Hunt-Wesson/Beatrice.And Hormel had and still has a 25% ownership of Unilever in the United States.
"Ask your grocer for Chef Boyardee's Spaghetti Dinner with meat or mushroom sauce, won't you?" God these old commercials are straight-up /cute/. I can't say no when he asks so nicely like that! ^3^
My mother bought a box of mac and cheese with a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup because the chef boyardee wasn't budget friendly. Bonus: Momma always left about half a centimeter of the soup for me to carefully scrape from the can while she cooked. Must have been annoying as a dog worrying a dry bone, but Momma was patient like that. Thanks, Chef, for inspiring us poor folks with the sheer adaptability of pasta! The man should RIP knowing how he helped fill small bellies with food that lasted.
...while continuing to represent "Chef Boy-ar-dee" in TV and radio commercials (including this one, which appeared on "LOVE OF LIFE", sponsored by American Home Products), as well as creating new ideas for the company until his death in 1985.
In those days you got a camera and made a speach about your product and the commercial was finished, no actirs editing ect. Just go in the kitchen or garage and shoot. get it developed and send copies to the TV stations
Listen again. He didn't say how many servings per box. Really, 1/4 of the platter with some broccoli after a salad would be plenty. Yes, toss on a piece of garlic bread, too.
Back in the 1960's even as a small child, I hated canned pasta. I guess I saw a commercial for this and I remember I wanted my mother to get some, she made it and I don't think I ever ate canned pasta again. Even now when a recipe calls for the pasta to be cooked with the sauce, I don't do it, it reminds me too much of the canned pasta "look".
We were Italian and we never bought this. My mom made homemade Italian meals nearly every day. THIS WAS NOT something my folks would buy. You don't get Spaghetti from a can !

Good that you're doing it like it used to come vs the salt packed garbage canned branded stuff now.

I think I just did...(wipes)
Yes. That is CHEF BOOOIII Ardee.
It's a shame, that lots of folks think he's a Mascot, but he was a great chef....
New Years Day dinners as a kid Mom would get 2 boxes with the Mushroom sauce. She made Cole slaw and I just gorged myself on that spaghetti.
It comes with a can of grated cheese! Classic!
Mr Chefboyardee you are a legend

His spaghetti dinner probably tasted freaking amazing. I mean the stuff is okay now but it probably tasted better back when he operated everything

Fifteen cents a serving huh? Now it's probably four dollars and fifteen cents.
Howwa
Sheri451 its a dollar
This is back when America was great with strong unions and a strong middle class and millionaires paid 91 percent in taxes but didn't cry over it
Chef boyardee spaghetti my favorite food
Looks like more product than advertised.
15 cents a serving was alot in the 1950's
I remember they sold it all the way up until the late 80s. It tasted so damn good.
Still do
I GREW UP ON THIS STUFF. I LOVED IT. I DONT KNOW ABOUT FEEDING THREE PEOPLE, I WOULD EAT ONE BOX AND STILL BE HUNGRY.
Asking to come in, no response and then barges in....
Like a boss 😂😂😂
youre right I note that back then the commercials shuffled in between, say, the organ grinding of a t.v. drama and other station announcements
The Organ was from CBS' "Edge Of Night" of which Chef Boy-Ar-Dee was its regular Sponsor back then.
The spaghetti kits are still available, but not with mushroom sauce.
Please let me know where
Back when 15 cents was worth a lot more than it is today!
I wish I had the experience to tast the original chef boiardi pasta and not the new ones
+ChefBoyArDi This was Hector Boidardi's First TV Commercial!
His last is on here as well.

+BarryGrauman Chef Boiardi's favorite dish,however was Gnocchi! Great-Great Cousin Anna said He'd ate it every night!

Crap, I've been pronouncing his name wrong for the past 30 years...
The right way is on his Products! Hector made the brand because He'd thought People would know how to say His Name.
In those days you got a camera and made a speach about your product and the commercial was finished, no actirs editing ect. Just go in the kitchen or garage and shoot. get it developed and send copies to the TV stations
I thought it was pronounced Chef Boy-Are-Dee, not Boy-yard-è lol
and i found that hes name is spelled Boiardi
i want some right now
+Barry I. Grauman His Nephew Anna Boiardi is the new Head of Operations at Her Uncle's Plants now!
Just how expensive was pasts years ago?
Grated cheese today is wood pulp.
Awwwww!!!
no what they make now a days is but what they use to make back then had to be great
That's supposed to be a family meal? I could eat that entire thing myself.
Before there were cans. You had to do it the hard way. Glad I did not grow up in the 50s. 😂
15 cents a serving 😂😂😂😂😂
I picked up some cans at
#walmart
#ohio #macedonia
mmmm!
And was used widely for the armed services during WWII.
at 1:01 hear the music! Its spooky.
sorry i ment 1:00
Lotsa spaghetti
The pre-cooked crap they sell now as Chef Boy-ar-dee is a disgrace to Italian food.
⚠️ *BEWARE OF THE HUNGRY BEASTS!* ⚠️
Unfortunately, they recently discontinued their pasta sauce.
actually 45 cents because he said 15 cents a serving and he also said a wonderful dinner for 3 and 3 times 15 is 45 but thats still cheap though
Listen again. He didn't say how many servings per box. Really, 1/4 of the platter with some broccoli after a salad would be plenty. Yes, toss on a piece of garlic bread, too.
Ah yes, The old time price's were very good :)

They don’t even pronounce his name correctly anymore.
15 CENTS!!!?
And you thought a Big mac combo was cheap.
What if U had a family of back then? Were we suupposed to buy two boxes of that pasta?
Back then one serving of spaghetti fed three people back in the 50s. No wonder why we are fat as fuck today lol
That sauce looks like pure water. Gross.
We were Italian and we never bought this. My mom made homemade Italian meals nearly every day. THIS WAS NOT something my folks would buy. You don't get Spaghetti from a can !
It’s in a box, not a can. You should actually watch the commercial instead of just ripping the product.
Lol this is lazy
That spaghetti dinner used to give ppl "the sh*ts"
i tried to ask my grocer but they were black union people on break. yea obama.
