Blue Plate Special

April 10, 2021 - September 26, 2021

Harris - Burger Gallery

Although summer BBQ season is winding down, you can still enjoy the experience of a juicy burger and ice cold soda in Blue Plate Special. John Miller’s oversized glass food is a feast for your eyes. Not only do Miller’s subjects represent staples of American cuisine, they offer a sense of nostalgia for roadside diners and their neon signs, glistening chrome tables, and comforting food.
