Hector Boiardi – aka Chef Boyardee — started his culinary path to fame in Cleveland, when he opened his first restaurant, Il Giardino d’Italia, in 1924. Located on East 9th and Woodland, it exposed countless Clevelanders to Italian cuisine. His spaghetti sauce became so popular that customers wanted to take it home, prompting him to start bottling it – which led to the iconic brand known for its pasta kits and canned-food empire. #cleveland #thisiscle #chef @clehistory @skrticx @lostcleveland |
