How to Use Blueberry Syrup: Ideas for Pancakes, Cocktails, and More | Eater

"Long a childhood favorite, this classic diner stood out not for its fluffy silver-dollar pancakes or the towering whipped-cream spiral on a mug of hot chocolate but for its syrup caddy, which offered four choices — old-fashioned, butter pecan, strawberry, and a personally beloved blueberry — at a time when other breakfast chains handed you a single sticky cup. The blueberry syrup in particular felt like a luxury, described as a translucent purple glaze that soaks into waffles and whipped-cream-topped pancakes; as an adult the reviewer discovered most of the house syrups are corn-syrup-based with xanthan gum, although the blueberry variety also includes blueberry purée. That syrup caddy remains a defining, nostalgia-tinged feature that elevated the diner’s breakfast experience." - Kat Thompson
