I'm not looking for dishes named for occupations, like Chicken Caccatore (sp?), or named for the cook who invented or popularized a dish. The idea is more of renown through the culinary arts, i.e. a person is well know for some accomplishment and they are honored by having a food named for them. I would appreciate any suggestions (not necessarily period) for this listing.
