Craig Carlson Author of Pancakes in Paris

The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Peter Elvidge will interview Craig Carlson Author of  Pancakes in Paris.

 Craig Carlson is the founder and owner of Breakfast in America, which now boasts three American diner locations in Paris. Originally from Connecticut, Carlson first visited France as a student and, like many before him, instantly fell in love with the country. It was in Paris that he developed his love for film and decided to make a career of it. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a master’s in film production, Carlson worked as a screenwriter and short filmmaker before landing a job with a TV show in Paris.

It was during this time that Carlson became convinced that the time was right to introduce the French to the joys of the American breakfast. Breakfast in America first opened its doors on January 4, 2003, during one of the heaviest snowfalls in Paris in years (it was taken as a good sign). Carlson and his husband split their time between Paris and Los Angeles.
