This is earliest mention of that phrase i could find.

In March 2000, I was already attributing the "soft and chewy" concept
to Marcus Ranum, so he must have come up with it even earlier.

in 1992, marcus heard this term from bellovin, at the same time i did.
from some googling, it may actually be a cheswickism, retold.  somebody
should ask steve.
