He was a "research chef".Genius Looted by No-Talent Parasites
Sadly, he probably got an extremely tiny cut of the profits from his invention. Corporate patents are the crime of the century and the worst slavery in history.
I was once offered a position to do the same thing.
Basically you are paid a salary to investigate the ins and outs of whatever and develop formulas for doing whatever.
For example most people know what MSG is....it's not the only flavor enhancer out there. There are many. The one they wanted me to research had a dual purpose of yeast dough enhancer and vegetable flavor enhancer. FDA approval had not been obtained but they felt confident they were going to achieve it.
(At which point I was concerned)
Basically I would grocery shop, come in with the ingredients, cook them using their test material and an identical recipe without the test material. Recording measurements of all ingredients used. (Very precisely)
And then taste testing would commence and compare the two. It's really annoying too as thermometers are put everywhere, timers, speeds, and hard looks all recorded very carefully. Also lab analysis gets involved for possible breakdowns or interactions. (Why all ingredients are measured and typed and temperatures)
But they really didn't understand the type of Chef I was....and didn't really have the money to pay my salary. (I'm easy but not cheap) But they advertised for a Chef. I was a working chef....not an office chef or a diner cook. They wanted more than they could afford. They needed a diner griddle cook. Not me.
Commissions?
Ongoing residuals?
Ongoing anything from any business?
we never get that.
Only if our name and face is used and we put up a substantial portion of investment capital. (G Ramsey puts up half the money for every show).
