Very interesting. Thank you for pointing him out to us, Venture.
I was infatuated with hollandaise sauce, and wanted to find a way to standardize it in the restaurant business. In the mid 80's I invented, and eventually patented a method of making an all natural hollandaise sauce base. It took me over 10 years to perfect it, tinkering with it in my spare time while working at different places. It was an unheard of idea, so no food companies wanted to license it. So we started our own business making it and selling it. We had over 2 dozen accounts, ranging from small restaurants to hotels, and even a convention center.
I used the same method to make a Caesar Salad Dressing Base, and also developed a line of tropical fruit vinaigrette bases too. But it was not to be, and with no financial backers, we closed it down. The patent is not worth the $ it's printed on.
Here is my patent:
