We don’t always take the classic approach to things. We’ll serve appetizers as our main course, casual food to fancy guests, and breakfast for dinner. Still we pay our dues and recognize what’s classic-the Blue Plate Special, aka Meat and Two Veg, isn’t called special for nothing. If you are going classic, choose one or two of these vegetable sides and pair them with a piece of steak or breast of chicken. If, on the other hand, you decide to diverge, choose two or more of these, load up your plate, and you’ve got yourself a vegetarian meal.
