The restaurant business is in Don Carson's blood. The son
of legendary Chicago restaurateur Chris Carson, Don is also
associated with one of the city's other leading restaurant
luminaries, Richard Melman.
Carson,who oversees operations at Don & Charlies eatery in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a Managing Partner in one of the nation's leading restaurant organizations, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc.
Carson was raised in Rogers Park, which is located on the North Side of Chicago. Growing up in a restaurant family, Carson remembers dining our three to four days a week as a young boy. While growing up eating, tasting and trying new food items Carson learned to appreciate food that was prepared from scratch with no thought ever given to skimping on quality.
Carson began his career at the Millionaire's Club Library and Carson's, The Place for Ribs, before teaming up with Melman in late 1982. Since the opening of Don & Charlies's, their goal is simple.be the best that you can be and always care for your guests.
Although restaurants are his full-time passion, he does save a little energy for jazz and softball, his part-time loves. Carson is married and the father of three girls.
