Live from Paris with New York Times Bestselling Author Craig Carlson

Foodies and Paris lovers, join us for an interview with New York Times bestselling author Craig Carlson, the founder of two American-style diners in Paris. Craig’s story began when he realized that it was impossible to get pancakes, bacon and other breakfast delights in the City of Light. With no restaurant experience and pushed by his desire to introduce pancakes to the people who only knew crêpes, Craig opened Paris’ first American diner.

In his books, Craig describes with humor all the challenges and adventures he faced as he made his way into the heart of Parisians who gave him the nickname, ‘’Le Pancake Kid’’. In his stories, Craig successfully celebrates what France and the US have to offer, illustrating how both cultures can learn from each other. For Craig, there is no dream too big, and no better place to live his dream than Paris.
