It was supposedly sent out (mislabeled) by the seed farm Seeds by Design in California. There is no history before that that anyone knows of, which is odd because red beefsteak potatoleaf varieties are very rare. Many seed venders got that seed when they asked the wholesaler for Red Brandywine.
I grew it a couple of years ago from Tomatofest seed. It did better for me than Mortgage Lifter. It's a average-big indeterminant with good flavor one pound beefsteaks. I don't remember it being overly acid or overly sweet. Production was decent.
