More songs about buildings and food

Well, maybe not about buildings. Just the food, thanks.
Eggs and sausage, and a side of toast.
Coffee and a roll. Hash browns over easy,
Chilli in a bowl, with a burger and fries,
Oh what kind of pie?
There's a rendezvous with strangers
Round the coffee urn tonight...

All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said...[repeat]
Daily Pundit suggests songs songs about food and cooking as a good weekend thread. Good idea. "What gets your toes a-tappin' and your juices goin' in anticipation of a good meal? The songs can be about food outright or food as a metaphor. It can be in the title or in the body." I've kicked you off with Tom Waits 'Eggs and Sausage,' what else can you bring?

Here's a few more to get you thinking:

One More Cup of Coffee - Bob Dylan
Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson
All that Meat and No Potatoes - Fats Waller
Baked Beans - by NZ band Mother Goose (anybody still remember them?)
Beans and Cornbread - Louis Jordan
Egg Cream - Lou Ree
I Eat Heavy Metal - John Lee Hooker & Pete Townshend
Tupelo Honey - Can Morrison
Ice Cream for Crow - Captain Beefheart
Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
Tom's Diner - Suzanne Vega
Coffee and TV - Blur
I Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl - Bessie Smith ... now there's an offer ...
Burnt Weeny Sandwich - Frank Zappa ... uh, maybe not ...
