Foods Named After People
Did you ever wonder about how many foods there were in the world that are named after people, like Bananas Foster, and vice versa? No, well maybe now is the time to think about it,....


Bananas Foster:The dessert, topped with dark rum, banana liqueur and vanilla ice cream, was created in 1951 and named after Richard Foster, long time friend of proprietor Owen Brennan and customer of Brennan’s restaurant in New Orleans.

Reuben Sandwich:This sandwich has two possible origins. One legend claims it dates back to 1914 and was named after New York restaurant owner, Arnold Reuben (1883-1970). Still another tale claims the creator was one Reuben Kolakofsky (1874-1960) who is said to have invented the sandwich to serve for his "poker group" which gathered at his Omaha, Nebraska, grocery.

Oh Henry! The Williamson Candy Company of Chicago introduced this candy bar back in 1920. It was named for a young man who did odd jobs for the company store who was summoned by those words.
