I have compiled a long list of dishes named after famous people, like fettuccine Alfredo, beef Stroganoff, tornado Rossini etc.
Please provide other examples in a format: <dish, name of a person, short description & origin>.

The post's aim is to jointly cover the whole range(if possible) of the alphabet.

Chicken á la King (orig. Chicken á la Keene (James R. Keene))

Chicken Tetrazzini (opera singer Luisa T.)

General Tso's Chicken (Gen. Zou Zong-Tang) (to be preferred to Flu Manchu)
