A blue-plate special is a term originating in the United States, particularly associated with diners and restaurants. It refers to a daily or weekly special meal offered at a discounted price, typically served on a blue plate. The blue-plate special often consists of a hearty and affordable meal, including a main dish, one or more side dishes, and sometimes a beverage or dessert. Common blue-plate specials may feature comfort foods like meatloaf, fried chicken, pot roast, or spaghetti with marinara sauce, accompanied by sides such as mashed potatoes, vegetables, or salad. The term "blue-plate" originates from the practice of serving these specials on blue-colored plates to distinguish them from regular menu items.
