I love it. Let's peel a layer back though. Excuse my ignorance, but who are Cobb, Fitzpatrick and Wellington?
-Beef Wellington-
The origin of the name is unclear [1]. One theory is that beef Wellington is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington . Some have suggested this was due to his love of a dish of beef, truffles, mushrooms, Madeira wine, and pâté cooked in pastry, but there is no evidence to say for sure. Other accounts simply credit the name to a patriotic chef wanting to give an English name to a variation on the French filet de bœuf en croûte during a period when England was often at odds with France. Still another theory is that the dish is not named after the Duke himself, but rather that the finished joint was thought to resemble one of the brown shiny military boots which were named after him [2].
-Cobb Salad-
The Cobb salad is a garden salad invented by Robert H. Cobb, first cousin of Ty Cobb. It was a signature menu item of the Drake Hotel, a hotel in Chicago, Illinois.
-Oysters Fitzpatrick-
The origin of oysters fitzpatrick is proving more elusive. The dish seems to be claimed by both the Australians and the Louisianians. It also seems to be the same dish as 'oysters kilpatrick'. But this may have resulted from a nickname given to a popular Aussie-rules footballer.
