The restaurant is based off of a character in a Bob Dylan song (character “The Jack of Hearts”). Food and beverage items will be sold in the coffee shop/antique shop/art studio, and we want to name them after song titles/characters or lines from Bob Dylan songs.

Cute, but not what we’re going for. :)
House of the Risin’ Bun
Don’t Think Spice
Gnocchi on Heaven’s Door
Mr. Tangerine Man
Thymes there a changing. Chicken with garlic and thyme.
Is that a little closer? ?
Subterranean Homesick Meatloaf ?
I’m not sure that I’d eat it, though.
Based on (most of his) unintelligible songs I suggest a Coffee Ahrdwrangzzer.
Champignons Of The World Soup
Absolutely Sweet Tea
Just Like a Turkey Sandwich
Maggie’s Farm-Fresh Eggs
Masters of Warmed Up Leftovers from Yesterday
Apple Suckling Tree
Country Pie
Catfish
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man!
Tangled Up In Blue-Fin Tuna Steaks
Meatballs Along The Watchtower
Drink: Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
It’s made with absinthe, marinol, and vodka.
Cafe au Lay Lady Lay
Grill from the North Country
@Jude, are you looking for puns? or direct allusions, such as Highway 61 Lemon Squares and North Country Patty Melt?
For the most part there’s little upbeat cheer in Dylan’s songs, and I can’t recall any food references in them or much of anything that would sound good with food (Blood on the Tracks, Hard Rain, Desolation Row). Can you give us an example of what you’re looking for?
More so names used in his songs (so I’ve been told by my partner)
For example: “Rosemary’s Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha.
Maybe we’d help you best, then, just by listing names that appear in his songs and leaving the food items to your partner:
Johanna
Maggie
Tom Thumb
Corrina
probably not Judas Iscariot, and also probably not William Zantzinger
Most of the personal-type lyrics just say “you.”
John Wesley Harding Burgers
Blonde on Blondies
It’s All Over Now, Baby Food.
Temporary Like Achilles Grilled Salmon.
Absolutely Sweet Marie’s Meringue Pie
Ruthie’s Ravioli
Mr. Jone’s scones.
Buckets of Rain, buckets of Coffee..
Do you want whole song titles for the dish names, followed by the description?
Blowin’ In The Wind
Microwaved honey ham with scallions and wild mushrooms, your choice of sides.
Mr. Tangerine Mango
I Walnut Juice
Don’t think twice, it’s all Diet Rite
Peggy-O pancakes. From “Pretty Peggy-O”
Ric von Schmidt omelete. From “Baby, Let Me Follow You Down”
Woody Guthrie veggie burger. From “Song to Woody”
Maggie’s farm hashbrowns From “Maggie’s Farm”
It could go on and on. Sarah Jane, Little Sadie, Mr. Bojangles, Sally Sue Brown, Blackjack Davey, Little Maggie, Frankie and Albert, Diamond Joe…Shake Shake Mama has to be on the menu. So many possibilities.
What are your food items?
I reckon that recipes will have to be produced to cope with this influx of brilliant names!
Wasn’t it Bob Dylan that sang “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road?”
@dorgie Are you a folkie?
No, just old enough to remember.
Oh, heck. That would have made an interesting menu item.
