What Does 'Blue Plate Special' Mean?

If you're not familiar with the term, according to Culinary Lore, it's believed to have originated in 1892 when a restaurant chain called Harvey House served discounted meals on disposable blue plates to railroad travelers.

Since then it's come to mean a bargain meal that usually changes daily, usually offered at diners.
