Some people have questioned him being the head chef in such an extremely short time, and people have also questioned both stories about being involved with president Wilson's wedding and as well as the dates with the WWI meal as well.

"the legend of Ettore Boiardi, the chef behind Chef Boyardee, expands further into an amorphous blob of uncited claims that Boiardi's military ties actually trace back to feeding the veterans of World War I because Woodrow Wilson adored the meal Boiardi had prepared for the reception of his second wedding."

"according to Politico, it's unlikely that the Wilson reception took place at the Greenbrier because the private ceremony itself was conducted in the home of Ms. Edith Galt, who became Mrs. Wilson, in Washington, D.C. Though History does not name the specific building, they too located the wedding in Washington, D.C. Google Maps estimates that today it would be a 4-hour drive or a 6-hour public transportation passage to make the trip from her home to said hotel, making it unlikely that the Greenbrier hosted the reception."

vs.

"Before launching the Chef Boyardee line of products, Chef Boiardi, in 1915 at the age of 17 years old, supervised the catering for President Woodrow Wilson’s wedding reception." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:9B77:AB00:D93F:5A85:C241:42E7 (talk) 13:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The link to a New York Times article abstract about the death of Chef Hector Boyardee is no longer valid. The print article has been digitized and archived by the times.

This link in reference #4: http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40A1FFC3A5D0C708EDDAF0894DD484D81&showabstract=1

Should be replaced with the digitized version: https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/23/us/hector-boiardi-is-dead-began-chef-boy-ar-dee.html
