The Americans in Paris
It takes gumption to set up culinary shop in a place like Paris, especially with no formal training, but that’s exactly what Braden Perkins and Laura Adrian did in June 2007. At first they thought they’d be serving simple American food to an ex-pat community, but they soon found that the diversity and quantity of their guests called for an elegant, 10-course tasting menu on Saturdays and Sundays. Depending on the season, you might find short ribs over mascarpone-enriched grits or New Orleans–style gumbo served with a crab cake. They’ve so impressed the locals that a Le Cordon Bleu student recently volunteered as an intern.
