Some of the most famous foods in the world are named after people who really existed - kings, military men, chefs, artists, or even restaurant customers.
The sandwich, the Caesar salad, the Margherita pizza, the nachos, the Peach Melba, and many other foods each have an interesting story behind their name. Some were created to honor a special person, while others got their name by chance or thanks to tradition and creativity in the kitchen.
