The original fast-food restaurants, diners were mobile food
wagons that began swarming U.S. cities in the late 19th
century. They were dubbed “diners” because they reminded
people of dining cars on trains.
Diner hosts would serve their daily specials on disposable
blue plates that were first manufactured during the
Depression. Much like today’s TV dinner trays, the plates
were sectioned to keep the meat, starch and vegetable
separate and, of course, only came in the one color.
In those days, a blue plate was reserved for the diner’s daily
special. Today, at The Blue Plate, every dish is a made-fromscratch specialty and every plate is blue.
We now serve fresh, natural, antibiotic free chicken from
Springer Mountain Farms.
