Screen Door presents a celebration of southern cuisine as experienced by southern natives from the quintessential hearty fare to the everyday food gathered from the garden. The central concept is making use of the similar rich bounty of local fresh produce found here in the Northwest that is sometimes taken for granted in the south. Screen Door serves local and organic produce and meats everyday and fosters the concept of maintaining the connection between farm and plate.
