Grilled Fish

Jon is quite health-conscious and one of his go-to meals is grilled fish. We can definitely see him manning a grill, armed with a spatula and a pair of tongs! Check out some more of our best grilled fish recipes.

Mexican Food

A lover of Mexican food, Bon Jovi had a part in opening the Blue Parrot in East Hampton, which serves Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine. We think he’d love any of these Mexican dishes.

Creative Cocktails

Jon has created his very own cocktail, which he calls the Muff Dive. It’s made with equal parts vodka, peach schnapps and cranberry juice, and it sounds pretty tasty to us! Not your cup of tea (or spirits, as the case may be)? Here are some of our more classic cocktails.

Glazed Chicken

Jon and his wife Dorothea own two restaurants with a unique business model-there are no prices on the menu, and diners can either pay for their meals or earn them by volunteering in the restaurant. The fare is upscale and nutritious, including dishes like orange Thai chicken, similar to this recipe.

Cucumber Soup

As well as a cucumber avocado bisque! Paying customers can also purchase a meal for someone else, effectively paying it forward. This is a great premise and we hope it catches on.

Rosé

Jon and his son Jesse have teamed up to create their very own rosé called Diving Into Hampton Water; it’s apparently their favorite type of wine. That said, this cocktail would be a great way to show off that pale pink vino.

Hot Dogs

One of Jon’s restaurant recommendations is Max’s in Long Branch, NJ. If you’re in town, Jon suggests getting one of their famous foot-long hot dogs with a side of onion rings.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup is one of the ultimate comfort foods, and Jon frequently requests a homemade, low-fat version be served before his shows. Here are some more healthy foods that are amazingly comforting.

Eggplant Parmesan

Jon has a number of vegetarians in his entourage, so he always asks that meatless options be available. Eggplant Parmesan is ideally suited for his Italian heritage–his real last name is Bongiovi!

Sushi

Do you consider sushi to be fast food? Jon does, and he lists it on his amenities request to be served after a show. Read this if you’d like to know how to improve upon grocery store (or fast food) sushi.

Chilled Desserts

No meal is complete without dessert, not even a pre-show meal. Jon’s amenities list calls for a light, cold dessert, similar to this satisfyingly sweet parfait. Here are more chilled options for a tasty dessert.

Protein Bars

Protein bars are a handy thing to keep stashed in your suitcase (or tour bus, in this case), and they’re one of Jon’s favorite snacks.
