Ignacio was probably prone to the munchies

They missed a really good one, Lobster Newburg...which was once Lobster Wenburg (according to wiki).

I applaud you for not titling this "the 9 best" or "the top 9" - digg and reddit ruined lists for me because of that.
There are countless dishes named after people and I'd like to toss another in the mix: Oysters Rockefeller. Named after Rockefeller because the sauce is so rich. I've been dying to make this with oyster mushrooms.
