Greatest Chef ever?

[Makernaut]

I keep a can or two of pasta in my desk at work. Nothing wrong with room temp ravioli, and the pull tab lids are a great invention.

Bingo! That's why I take them camping ...or more to the point, when I float a river. Bread, Goober Grape, Ravioli, Spaghetti-O's....no refrigeration or cook fire necessary....and it is all pretty satisfying (at least for me).

So true! Is this an Ohiyah thing lol?

It might be an Ohio thing, but it does at least appear in Oklahoma in a few individuals I know.

I thought the Chef Boyardee pizza kits were kind of cool as kid. Don't remember if they tasted good or not, though. I don't think taste was the selling point because they were a lot of fun to prepare.

I also liked the Beef Ravioli as kid and will still grab a can when I go camping.

My kids love it when I make the pizza kits, they are big fans, as am I.

I am glad to know kids are still enjoying those! (It was a pretty cool part of mine and my sister's growing up).

What ever happened to Boyardee's rival, Franco-American ?

The Campell Soup Company phased out the Franco-American brand name. They still make Spaghettios just now under the Campells name.

I still love some Spaghettios...for what they are....to this day.

For famous TV chefs, I know i'm going to get a lot of heat for this answer but of all TV chefs the most one that's food looks tasty and i'd eat it would be Bobby Flay.

Flay mostly makes manly-man food - which I like

I don't need to taste a bit of the barnyard, forest, sea or marshland ... Just grill me some meat and season it with beer

Nothing wrong with that. I'm indebted to Emeril because he really turned me on to the foodie concept. Kicking stuff up a notch and yelling "Bam!" was cool enough to attract me. I hit his place in Orlando in May and enjoyed it a great deal.

Yeah, I've also been known to keep bread, PB and/or Goober in my desk, as well. Though recently I'm on a Trader Joe's salad kick.
