Chef Boy-Ar-Dee commercial - 1953

Unlike Betty Crocker, Chef Boy-Ar-Dee was NOT a fictional advertising icon; he was a real Italian chef. Hector Boiardi came to the U.S. as a teenager, became chef of a Cleveland hotel, and then opened a restaurant where his spaghetti recipe became famous. The rest is history. (It became "Boy-Ar-Dee" because that was easier than having to teach Italian pronunciation to 1950s housewives)

As Colonel Sanders did, Chef Boiardi (note the accent on the middle syllable) used to appear in his own commercials.

No, you may not fucking come in you creep.

Is that Ajax powder he's pouring over the spaghetti?

@TimFrith24 The Chef went to that big Italian restaurant kitchen in the sky in 1985, to be exact.

This fellow is making mass-produced starchy food products sound like a dish fit for Roman emperors!

@TylerTV123 I don't know, but you might want to try and contact Con Agra Foods, or maybe even an antiques dealer and check it out. There's always somebody looking to buy stuff like that. You should definitely find out if it's worth something.
