Attempting the impossible, Craig Carlson sets out to open the first American diner in Paris, tracking down "exotic" ingredients like bacon, breakfast sausage, and bagels, while dealing with constant strikes, demonstrations, and Kafkaesque French bureaucracy. Remarkably, Carlson's diner, Breakfast in America, went on to be a great success—especially with the French. In the culinary tales presented here, Carlson shares stories of hunting for snails with his French mother-in-law, treating his neighbor to her first-ever cheeseburger, and handling a self-proclaimed anarchist who says it's his right to "dine and dash," not to mention battling the notorious Pigeon Man.
