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)

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)

Split

This article should be split in two, one about the brand, one about the person. 70.55.203.112 (talk) 10:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why not. I'll think about it, and maybe I'll get to it soon. But until then, does anybody disagree? ♦Leo-Roy 21:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Articles now split. ♦Leo-Roy 22:12, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Not sold in the UK

This product line is not sold in the UK. There is no evidence it is sold in continental Europe either. Maybe the article should say that 'today, Chef Boyardee is sold only in America' or wherever.--Veritable's Morgans Board (talk) 18:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Just because it isn't sold in Europe doesn't mean it isn't sold outside of America. It may be sold in Australia or Asia. Possibly not, but we can't make that statement until somebody obtains a proper citation to prove that it isn't sold internationally, and if the opposite is true, we still need a ref to prove it. ♦Leo-Roy^{review me} 21:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

catagorized wrong

This is listed under "companies headquartered in Ohio". This is a brand, not a company. The owner is Conn Agra foods in Nebraska. Please remove this from the Ohio business section. 2hamburgers (talk) 03:56, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

From the history I see, it began as its own company based in Cleveland, Ohio ... was sold to American Home Products where it became one of their brands, and that company was purchased by ConAgra Foods. So, while it's a brand now, it appears to legitimately have its roots as a company that was headquartered in Ohio. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I really have no specific idea what I'm doing to edit this, or correct it, but this page was vandalized due to a trivia contest, if it could please be reverted to the original before today's date, that would make it accurate again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.94.184.52 (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
