Aaron Bludorn

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Bludorn pursued a career in hospitality by beginning his journey at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York. His education at CIA led to a prosperous career working under some of the country’s most celebrated chefs, including Douglas Keane and Daniel Boulud. Bludorn later went on to become the executive chef at Café Boulud in Manhattan.

In 2020, Bludorn made his way from New York City to Houston, Texas, where he opened his namesake restaurant, Bludorn, a new American restaurant featuring French-inspired dishes with roots in the Texas Gulf Coast. Two years later, he opened Navy Blue, a contemporary seafood destination in Houston’s Rice Village. In March 2024, Bar Bludorn, a quintessential neighborhood tavern, was added to his portfolio. Most recently, Bluddorn debuted Perseid, an all-day restaurant at Bunkhouse Hotels’ first property at Houston’s Hotel Saint Augustine.
