Southern Comfort
Screen Door Opens
Doctor: It appears the patient has slipped into a comfort-food coma.
Loved Ones (gasping): Oh, no! We never should have taken her to Screen Door!
Dr.: Alas, I fear that may have been the cause. The restaurant, which recently debuted at One Arts Plaza, serves upscale Southern cooking with a modern twist for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch — and has been known to induce catatonia in overindulgers.
LO: But how could we resist? The menu mixes traditional low-country fare — shrimp and grits, fried chicken and waffles — with updated classics like deconstructed lobster potpie and iron-seared Chilean sea bass.
Dr.: Well, there is a light afternoon tea option.
LO: Will she ever recover?
Dr.: Oh, yes. Probably in time for dinner.
Screen Door, One Arts Plaza, 1722 Routh Street, suite 132 (214-720-9111 or screendoordallas.com).
