| - 5 stars isn't high enough. You will seldom find a place with as much love injected into its food as the Blue Door.
To be clear, this is NOT a place for "diner" breakfast people looking to read the paper while they guzzle cheap coffee. This is NOT a place for people whose main criteria is "How much does it cost? Can I get my biscuits and gravy for 3.99?" This is NOT a place for people who like egg white omelets and dry commercial toast with skim milk for their coffee, or boring oatmeal and iced tea with Splenda.
The Blue Door is a "destination restaurant" for people who know and understand what real food is, and are aware the higher costs that making and eating it entails. This is a place whose expertise is so great in what they do, that they pack the house day after day despite being located in one of the most drab, ugly strips of businesses outside of Detroit. This is a place that is so confident in what they do, that they go Euro-style with their schedule, closing twice a week (Mon and Tues)...Wed.-Sun. will be hectic and profitable no matter what, so why not program in some regular rest for the employees?
The Blue Door is a place for the true food-lover. Go to the Blue Door if you like the sound of fresh farm eggs with deep orange yolks, thick cut smoked bacon, fresh-baked croissants made by a little Austrian grandma in the back, and specials that include things like home made breakfast gnocchi with grilled New Zealand lamb chops, shrimp and grits with jumbo prawns, and brioche french toast with grilled peaches and creme anglaise. Go to the Blue Door if you like the smell of rich coffee, baking bread, and bacon. Go to the Blue Door when you are not in a hurry, and have time to look around and watch the culinary creations trickle out to tables around you.
