GREEN DOOR ON 8TH – Restaurant

Historic downtown Dade City, a New American kitchen with one foot firmly in Louisiana. The house specialties read like a Gulf Coast roll call — Cigar City gumbo, crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, red beans and rice — while the dinner side turns ambitious with grilled swordfish over polenta with charred corn and prosciutto, or a New York strip with roasted potatoes and fried Brussels sprouts. Start with fried green tomatoes, or smoked gouda run through with honey and bacon. Sunday mornings mean brunch. Diners come away talking about plates that look composed and still taste like comfort. Small-town address, city-sized cooking.
