Its promoters, two Hollywood ex-servicemen named Lloyd Rigler and Larry Deutsch, first encountered it in a mixture prepared by Adolf Rempp, a Los Angeles steakhouse chef whose steaks were unusually tender. They bought his formula for $10,000, worked out a way to blend the papaya extract with ordinary salt, which could be sprinkled evenly-and in visible amounts -on the meat.
