Lloyd Rigler (1915–2003), along with his business partner, the late Lawrence E. Deutsch (died 1977), helped introduce Adolph's Meat Tenderizer to the world. In 1948, they bought the recipe and name from Adolph Rempp, a chef and restaurant owner in Santa Barbara, California. Today, Adolph's is owned by Unilever.[1]
In May 1994, Rigler founded Classic Arts Showcase, a free, non-commercial television channel promoting the fine arts. Prior to his death in 2003, he funded the program to operate through 2022.
