RWR Presents Craig Carlson and Let Them Eat Pancakes!
By Robin Kall
It's time to have some fun! We're celebrating National Pancake Day with Craig Carlson, author of Let Them Eat Pancakes: One Man's Personal Revolution in the City of Light. Craig will be coming to us live from his restaurant, Breakfast In America and will show us some of the popular pancakes that are favorites of visitors to BIA. Our show will include a pancake demonstration by Craig's husband, Julien, and possibly one of their cooks, depending how busy it is!
Plus! Who doesn't love a little friendly competition? We're giving away 3 copies of Let Them Eat Pancakes for the most creative (sadly we can't be tasting them) pancake display. To enter your pancakes please email photo to [email protected] by September 25th. Oui?
Cost: Sliding scale $0 to ?? (Whatever works for you.)Net Proceeds from this event will benefit the Rhode Island Food Bank.

New York Times bestselling author Craig Carlson first came to France as an exchange student in 1985 and instantly fell in love with the country. He never could have imagined that some thirty-five years later he’d be the owner of two American diners in Paris and be nicknamed “Le Pancake Kid” by the French. With a background in journalism, Craig studied cinema at the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, using his experience as a screenwriter to pen his debut memoir, Pancakes in Paris: Living the American Dream in France. Craig and his husband Julien currently split their time between Paris and Los Angeles. Well, at least they try to. With two busy diners that can’t be left alone for too long, their lives lean heavily on the Paris side, which, of course, is not such a bad thing, n’est-ce pas?
