[edit] Helper to The Chef

My Great Grandmother, Anna Zucca, helped Chef Boyardee perfect his sauce in Cleveland. My Grandmother has told me the stories when she was young, and was around Chef Boyardee, and his wife Helen, alot.

[edit] Healthy?

Garbage!

[edit] Medal of Honor?

I was just watching a program on the History Channel about the history of canning fruit, meats, vegetables, etc. In the segment about Chef Boyardee, it mentioned that he received the [Congressional] "Medal of Honor" for his services during World War II. Can anyone confirm this? I'm under the impression that only military personal could receive such an honor. Rather, is it the Presidential Medal of Freedom or some other prestigious civilian award that he received? — Southern Crane 18:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

American Eats, "Canned Food". I saw that today and the mention of the Medal of Honor piqued my interest. He is not listed on List of Medal of Honor recipients: World War II. I'm thinking it was probably a civilian award, not the MoH. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 01:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chef to the POTUS?

I just spoke with the chef's daughter-in-law and she said that Chef Boiardi prepared the wedding dinner for President Woodrow Wilson at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia. I found this very interesting. 65.14.121.210 19:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Somebody's tellin' somebody a story. Woodrow Wilson married Ellen Louise Axson in 1885. Follwing her death in 1914, Wilson married Edith Bolling Galt on December 18, 1915 in a private ceremony at her Washington home. --Mycroft.Holmes 04:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Wilson did like to visit that hotel, though, so maybe he cooked a meal on another occasion. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 05:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

• In his June 23, 1985 obituary in the New York Times, it says that "[h]e came to the United States in 1917 and worked at hotels in New York and Greenbrier, W.Va., where he directed the catering at the reception for President Woodrow Wilson's second marriage." — VulcanOfWalden 05:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mrs. Tomagoochie

Who is this? Google has no information on her, should it be removed?
