Petition calls for Cleveland statue of Christopher Columbus to be replaced by Chef Boyardee

A trending online petition is calling for a statue of Christopher Columbus in Cleveland, Ohio, to be replaced with a figure honoring the life of Chef Boyardee.

The recent Change.org appeal is urging Cleveland City Council to remove the statue of the controversial explorer located in Tony Brush Park, in the Little Italy neighborhood, and erect a statue of Ettore (Hector) Boiardi in its place. The pitch has since received over 2,600 signatures.

Boirardi emigrated from Italy at age 16, later moving to Cleveland and opening a restaurant, WKYC reports. His sauce was so popular that he began bottling it for sale, which grew to become the Chef Boyardee brand of pasta and sauces today.

This forum is a wealth of information. I frequently find myself looking up the definition of a new word, or refreshing my memory of something historic. It is a place to find the musings of many wise people, and some wise asses.

I had to look up ‘Mama Celeste’ because I had never heard of it.

It must have been a reginal brand.

Ned Strongin should have a statue for inventing the Weebles toys. Just try to knock down his statue and it will bounce right back up again.

Wait. Chef Boy-ar-dee has a large *white* hat.

That’s not going to work.

What really needs to be replaced are the a-holes in office who allowed it to happen.

Does this have anything with the new proposal to rename Columbus, OH “Flavorland?” I heard the famous chef Guy Fieri approves of it.
