Well, according to Wiki (yes I know):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foods_named_after_people
~snips~
Peach pudding à la Cleveland – Grover Cleveland (1837–1908), 22nd and 24th U.S. president, was given this dish by Charles Ranhofer, who may have felt presidents deserved desserts named after them as much as Escoffier’s ladies, even if Cleveland was reputed to not much like French food.
*
Apricots with rice à la Jefferson – Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), third U.S. president, is honored appropriately with this Ranhofer dessert and with Jefferson rice, a recently developed strain of Texas rice.
*
Ronald Reagan’s Hamburger Soup – Ronald Reagan, while President, had this recipe issued publicly in 1986, after he had gotten flak for saying he liked French soups.
*
Big Hearted Al candy bar – early-20th-century presidential candidate Al Smith (1873–1944) had this candy bar named after him by a candy-company owning admirer.

I’ll have the AlGore Fried Globaloney sandwich smothered in Obamanaise and John Kerry Heinz ketchup with a small side of Biden’s Fried Brains and some Pelosi Buffalo Chips.
