244. Monalisa with a Moustache?

Pioneered by Marcel Duchamp, the readymades involve taking mundane, often utilitarian objects not generally considered to be art and transforming them, by adding to them, changing them, or (as in the case of his most famous work Fountain) simply renaming them and placing them in a gallery setting.

In L.H.O.O.Q. the objet trouvé (found object) is a cheap postcard reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drew a mustache and beard in pencil and appended the title.

Why the name L.H.O.O.Q.?

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?
