Where it All Started!!!

So how does a 21 year old kid from Provo, Utah who doesn't even know how to cook eggs without burning them decide he wants to open his OWN gourmet(sounds neat huh?) crepe shop? It all started with this picture, THIS was the first bite of a crepe in Paris France, THIS was the reason I decided to start a crepe business!!!

This picture was taken June 30th, 2011 in Paris, France while on the Global Marketing Study Abroad through Brigham Young University. After this bite, it only took till July 2nd, 2011 that i completed the "rough" business plan haha, and started searching to figure out what kind of equipment the French people use, their recipes, how they present their product, etc.

So it took all the way until July 4th, 2011 so decide i wanted to drop a few thousand dollars on a French Crepe Machine(i had to celebrate Independence Day somehow, Right? ;-). The next day i got an e-mail from my sister saying:

"Um Mark, have you been checking your e-mail? There is a charge on your credit card for a few thousand dollars for a CREPE MACHINE....it looks really suspicious, probably identity theft!!!" hahaha

On study abroad we went to New York, Paris, Switzerland, Italy, China and India. In Paris our whole group ate so many crepes that we probably all gained about 10 lbs(dont worry we lost all the weight in China and India, lets just say...stomach problems). Anyway I had to bring these delightful and somewhat magical crepes back to the 801, P-town, Provo, whatever you want to call it haha. It was a must!

By the time my study abroad ended on July 21st, i came home to a giant 150lb crepe machine in my garage, a logo "custom" made and a whole lot of work to do!!! THIS BLOG WILL TAKE YOU ON THE JOURNEY THAT I HAVE BEEN ON, STARTING UP MY OWN CREPE BUSINESS!!! HOW HARD COULD IT BE.....RIGHT? HAHA
