    About Chef Rosander:

    A wayward son of Cleveland, Brian Rosander took the long road to a culinary career. Working inconstruction in various cities across the Midwest, Brian busied himself in the cold months workingboth front- and back-of-house for a number of restaurants in Cleveland, Chicago, and Wisconsin,pursuing cooking on-and-off for the better part of a decade. After returning to Cleveland in themid-2000s, his interest in the culinary arts bloomed into a professional education at ICASI, underthe tutelage of chefs Loretta Paginini, Tim McCoy, Neal Mackenzie, and Stephan Rieger. Theexposure to a combination of discipline, innovation, technique, and food history set a stage forBrian to explore a world of cuisine, traveling to the Ligurian coast of Italy to study under ChefRoberto dal Seno.

    If his journey to find his career was winding and gradual, his race to open Rosander was anythingbut. A short stint working at ICASI was soon replaced by a whirlwind of kitchen designing, menuplanning, and remodeling of the storefront at 44 Front Street in Berea. A family-ownedestablishment, Rosander began to consume the waking hours of Brian and his wife, Christina, whotook on a role managing event scheduling and front-of-house operations. With the support of hisfamily, friends, peers, and instructors, the pair hammered out a beautiful establishment, a visualrepresentation of the aesthetic and ideals Brian values as a chef.

    If opening a restaurant weren't enough to fill a calendar, the support and networking of peer chefsprovided Rosander with the opportunity to manage the VIP kitchen of the Fabulous Food Network

    Show, to cater charter flights for the Saudi Arabian royal family, and private event service,branching into culinary classes and the well-received table d'hte "Chef's Menu" dining at therestaurant. A year later, the restaurant was to change concepts, converting the front-of-house intoan eclectic, colorful ice cream parlor and eatery, with the professional kitchen focusing on cateringevents.

    It is in this environment and education that the chef takes cues for his cuisine concepts. Praisedby guests for his intuition and flavorful aesthetic, Brian marries the simplicity and strengths ofMediterranean and Middle-eastern cuisine and the innovation of New American cooking thatdemonstrates fusion at its very finest. Not content with pretention and exclusivity, Chef Rosanderworks to rebuild the understanding of casual fine dining and to introduce his perspective onAmerican dining culture for the West suburbs and the city at large.
