Menu Spotlight: The Filament

If you’re joining us at The Edison and wondering what to order, there’s one sandwich that guests talk about long after the plate is cleared.
The Filament.
Named with a nod to our historic power plant roots, The Filament delivers exactly what its name suggests. It brings the heat.
At its core is perfectly fried chicken with a crisp, golden crust and tender bite. But what makes this sandwich unforgettable is the layering of flavor and texture built by Chef Morgan Stumpff.
Candied beef bacon adds a rich sweetness. Candied jalapeños bring a gentle heat that builds without overpowering. And instead of a standard stack, the sandwich is crowned with a fried green tomato that adds Southern character and just enough tang to balance the richness.
Every bite is sweet, savory, crisp, and just a little bold.
It’s served with Parmesan truffle fries, because when you’re already leaning into indulgence, you might as well do it properly. The fries are crisp, aromatic, and the perfect companion to the sweet heat of the sandwich.
The Filament has quickly become one of our most talked-about dinner favorites in downtown Tallahassee. It feels familiar, but elevated. Comforting, but chef-driven. The kind of dish that satisfies on the first bite and keeps you thinking about it later.

If it’s your first time dining at The Edison, this is the best menu item to start.
Some guests come for the architecture. Some come for the atmosphere overlooking Cascades Park.
And some come back specifically for The Filament.
