I've been to the Blue Door several times times, and each time, I think "this will be the time when I finally understand the hype!" Alas, I think I'm just not enough of a foodie to enjoy the dishes. The pastries are gorgeous, and I am impressed by their commitment to locally- and/or carefully-sourced foods, but after paying top-dollar (well...top-dollar for Akron, anyway) for items including an over-salted croque madame, a tomato soup that that was very heavy on the balsamic vinegar, and lackluster mixed greens, I think Blue Door and I just aren't made for each other.
