Think of the names of bands and singers having a food tag. (Will Red Hot Chili Peppers or Smashing Pumpkins get your thoughts bubbling?)
Throughout my novel What’s Left, her uncle Barney has rock playing prominently in the restaurant kitchen. Does this provide a good counterpoint to his thoughts and actions? Do you find it amusing? Annoying? Confusing?
Who would you like to add to the food-themed playlist?

Yes, it adds depth, personality to the story. Maybe even tell us his favorite band and his favorite songs. Let us get to know him. PS: a friend bought a church 30 years ago that looks very similar to your picture. He turned in into a beautiful home. great place for a cafe/ restaurant too.
