I went with a group of peole to the Screen Door on Sunday. I was excited...at first. I saw the line and thought that I was in for a treat. I don't know what part of the south this food hails from, but it wasn't like any southern cousine I have ever eaten.\r
I ordered the Screen Door plate so that I could try several things. The red beans and rice were bland, the Jambalaya was hot with out being tasty and the best thing about the pork chop was the hot sauce I added and the cornbread was dry. I sampled a few other menu items from my dinner companions. The trout was pretty decent (NW cousine to me) the mac and cheese was passable. The asparagus was prepared quite well. The only thing that tasted of New Orleans was the Hurricane. I wanted to try the chicken, but the pieces were unidentifiable and looked dry when it was cut into.\r
I was so upset that I had to wait for over 1/2 an hour for such a mediocre meal. \r
I was offered dessert, which I could have eaten because I was not full; but I was afraid of what might come out of the kitchen and I wanted to get out of the restaurant before I aged another year.
