Arnold Palmer Drink: How The Golf Legend Orders His Own Beverage And The Top 5 Foods Named After Famous Athletes

Most of us will never have any type of food or beverage named after us no matter how hard we try. Many celebrities however, especially in the world of sports, have already reached this lifetime achievement.

Yesterday at Augusta National, golf legend and 7-time Major champion Arnold Palmer was relaxing while looking over a menu and sipping a beverage. That drink, as the Star-Ledger's Steve Politi noted, was the Palmer-created infusion of iced tea and lemonade, of course know as the 'Arnold Palmer.'

For those of you wondering how Palmer ordered his own drink, Politi reports that the 4-time Masters champ simply leaned over to his waitress and whispered "I'll have a Mr. Palmer." A fitting order delivery for one of the most humble figures in the world of sports.

While Palmer has that well-known drink named after him, here's a list of the Top 5 Foods named after some other famous athletes.

5. The Jetbow (Inspired by New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow)

While Tim Tebow's time in New York hasn't come with a ton of playing time, the former University of Florida quarterback can at least hang his hat on the fact that a sandwich is named after him. Upon the arrival of Tebow, New York's Carnegie Deli owner Sandy Levine put together a 3.5-pound combination of pastrami, cheese, corned beef, roast beef, lettuce and tomato in honor of the newest member of the Jets. Not bad for a guy who may not even be with the team come the start of the 2013 season!

4. The StrasBurger (Named after Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg)

An instant star since day 1 in the big leagues, Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg quickly had a food item named after him. Sold at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C the burger is one of the biggest around as it weighs a total of 8 pounds. The perfect combination of brisket, ground meat and short ribs along with any topping a person desires, StrasBurger has quickly become a fan favorite in D.C.

3. The Tom Brady (In honor of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady)

Just in case Tom Brady's life wasn't awesome enough as a 3-time Super Bowl champ and marrying supermodel Giselle Bundchen, the future Hall of Famer has a 7-ounce burger named after him. Loaded with cheddar cheese, guacamole, red onion, lettuce, tomato and french fries, the burger has become a hot commodity around New England. If you're ever in or around the Cambridge, Massachusetts area, stop into Mr. Bartley's restaurant where the sandwich was born.

2. Flutie Flakes (Cereal named after former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie)

Debuting back in 1998, Flutie Flakes were created in honor of Doug Flutie, who at the time was the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. Over 3 million boxes of the cereal were sold before it was discontinued over a decade ago. Flutie was inducted into the College Football League Hall of Fame in 2007 and Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2008 following outstanding careers on both levels but many to this day associate Flutie with his infamous Flakes before anything else.

1. The Roethlisburger (Named after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger)

Created during the 2004 season in which rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the Pittsburgh Steelers to the AFC Championship, the Roethlisburger became an instant success in the city of Pittsburgh. The massive burger contains 12 ounces of ground beef, another 12 ounces of sausage, two eggs and american cheese. A large sandwich is only fitting for the large person Ben Roethlisberger is, standing at 6'5" and weighing 240-pounds. You can take a bite out of one anytime by visiting Peppi's Old Tyme Sandwich Shop.
