One day in 1943, the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan in nearby Eagle Pass,in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, were on a shopping trip, and arrived at the restaurant Victory Club, owned by Rudolfo DeLos Santos, after it had closed for the day. The maître d', Ignacio Anaya invented a new dish for them with what little he had available in the kitchen. He served the dish, calling it ______ especiales, or "special ______".
A modified version of the dish was marketed by a man named Frank Liberto beginning in 1977, during sporting events at Arlington Stadium in Arlington, Texas. During a Monday Night Football game, sportscaster Howard Cosell enjoyed the name "_______", and made a point of mentioning the dish in his broadcasts over the following weeks, further popularizing it and introducing it to a whole new audience.
What did Anaya invent which went on to become his middle name?
