Alex & Karen
The Forum is owned and operated by Alex Theodosopoulos, whose family has been in the restaurant business since 1931. Alex grew up in a Greek household where food was the sun around which his families solar system revolved. His forefathers have handed down all the traditions and secret recipes that are part of the restaurant today. Alex didn’t start out cooking. He learned the hard way; first by cutting french fries at the age of 8 years old, then he helped bake pies, prep food and once he was old enough and strong enough he bussed the tables. Around the age of 15, Alex became one of the cooks until he left for college. He studied Business Administration at the University of Cincinnati. Once he returned home he became manager of Theo’s Restaurant. In 1986, while attending a National Greek Convention in Colorado, Alex met his soon to be wife, Karen. Karen works within Education and holds a Masters in Mathematics along with a Bachelors in Computer Science.
Alex is very particular about the quality of the food that he serves to his customers, so he looks for the freshest local ingredients that he can find. He also avoids prepackaged items and makes an abundance of homemade items from scratch. His recipes have been handed down from generation to generation to create the exquisite textures and flavors which satiate the palate. As he says, “Because life was meant to be Enjoyed!”
Once upon a time…
Nick & Themi Theodosopoulos
The year was 1946 two very young teenagers, Nick Theodosopoulos, 19, and Themi Granitsas, 18, met and were destine to share the rest of their lives together. Flash forward 3 years. Nick earned his Chemical Engineering Degree while working the midnight shift at the US Rubber Company. While Nick was working for Dupont in Delaware he drove to Cambridge, OH and propose to Themi, who graciously accepted.
Nick was transferred to Marquette, MI to work for JNL Steel, where their eldest son Alex was born. In 1963 Nick and Themi moved to Cambridge to partner with James Granitsas, Themi’s brother, at “The Coney Island Restaurant;” the current location of “Theo’s Restaurant.” Once James Granitsas earned his Judicial Degree a few years later, Nick bought him out and was the sole proprietor until his two son’s Alexander and Steve purchased the business from him in the 1990’s. Nick continues to work every day at the restaurant.
