Fresh Off His Recent 'Hell's Kitchen' Success, Chef Alejandro Najar Finds a Home at the Blue Door Cafe in Cuyahoga Falls

It's a homecoming for the Barberton native who's launched dinner service to wide fanfare

in 2011, Michael Bruno has given diners countless reasons to visit Cuyahoga Falls. In addition to Bruno’s world-class bakery and pastry items, Blue Door has earned a reputation as one of Northeast Ohio’s best breakfast, brunch and lunch spots.

“On so many different levels he’s the perfect chef for Blue Door,” says Bruno. “His food is so different from what we already do at breakfast, brunch and lunch. And he’s not stuffy. We don’t want Michelin fine dining. We want casual.” For comparison’s sake, Blue Door will see between 200 and 250 guests between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Najar’s dinner service, which he oversees with sous chef Roman Moretti, dials that number back to a cool 100. In place of hearty, homespun breakfast and brunch platters, diners are handed a menu with a dozen eclectic small plates.

“To go from a crazy, crazy, crazy Michelin-style kitchen with people yelling at you – I was in a weird, depressive state,” he admits.
