Blue Plate Cafe Description:
A bit off the beaten path, the Blue Plate Café often goes beyond the diner conventions implied by its name. There are some nice small touches, like the Caesar salads that come with many of the lunch dishes and are sprinkled with chopped pecans and croutons made from po' boy bread. Then there's the whole category of creative appetizers, like the "bello bowl," a mixture of sautéed pieces of smoky mushroom with curried cream sauce and planks of dense polenta "fingers," which are not too different from grits cakes. Then again, a lunch visit may turn up a homey plate of spinach-stuffed pork roast served over garlic mashed potatoes. The burgers are oversize, juicy and dependable. Wall-to-wall windows offer good people-watching. This place is packed at lunchtime, but even if there is a line, the wait is generally not longer than 15 minutes.
