Banquet Foods was a company that sold food products - primarily frozen chicken - and still exists as the brand name on many prepared chicken products sold by ConAgra Foods. Banquet was founded in 1966 through the merger of Bright Foods of Turlock, California, and FM Stamper of Moberly, Missouri. Soon after that, Banquet became popular with their Cooking Bags products. In 1970, the company was purchased by RCA, which in turn sold it to ConAgra in 1980. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
