Unfortunately no.

It IS logical to use an existing category for this purpose.

But the WD community has rejected my proposal 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Archive/30#category 
(and the previous one “useful for / interesting to”) because:
- categories are a bit messy, since many people use them for various 
purposes
- synchronizing cat-item assignments between WD and Wikipedias would be a 
major hassle.

They even rejected having such property that is NOT synced with Wikipedias, 
for project purposes like 
yours (Black Lunch Table) and mine (Europeana Food and Drink, European 
Holocaust Research Infrastructure).

WD does have a bunch of over-specific categories, e.g. “people 
born/died/buried here”. See
https://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/browse?activepage=1&type=properties&lang=en&propertylabelfilter=category
 

Does anyone think we should reopen the discussion for creating props 
Category and/or InterestingTo?
