In the pursuit of higher education, he earned a bachelor’s degree in the Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
As a testament to his professional achievements in the field, Sophia’s House of Pancakes was ranked as the Number One Restaurant in Indiana and has been constantly lauded among the best restaurants in LaPorte County in Northwest Indiana. He also received recognition on several occasions for his efforts while honorably serving in the Hellenic Army. Attributing much of his success to his upbringing, he is notably proud to be surrounded by friends and family who support him in all of his endeavors. Looking to the future, Mr. Mitris hopes to open his fourth restaurant, which he intends to offer fine dining with Mediterranean cuisine.
