Here are the answers... 

1. Blue Plate Special = The Daily Special (not left-overs!) 

2. Graveyard Stew = Milk Toast, ie, buttered toast, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and dropped into a bowl of warm milk. (My dad's favorite, btw. Also congrats to Skeezix who was the only one to know this - did you google it? :-) 

3. Adam & Eve On a Raft = Two Poached Eggs on Toast 

4. A Cowboy = Western/Denver Omelette 

5. Short Stack = Two Pancakes (a stack is usually three) 

6. A BLT = Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwich (I cut mine in four triangles) 

7. Coney Island = Hot Dog (like they served at Coney Island!) 

8. White Cow = Vanilla Milkshake 

9. Eighty-six = The kitchen is out of the item ordered. 

10. Sunny Side Up = The eggs are fried without flipping them, so the yolk looks just like a sun on white background. 

11. Pigs in a Blanket = Ham Sandwich (although I thought it meant sausage links wrapped in a pancake, but hey, what do I know) 

12. Put a hat on it. = Add Ice Cream 13. Soup Jockey = Waitress (source: American Diner Museum)
