Let Them Eat Crepes

IHOP’s “crepe fever” commercials make me wince. No self-respecting French person I know would ever load up a crepe with such vast amounts of syrup-soaked fruit, cream cheese, and sugar-laden whipped topping. And you shouldn’t either.

I recommend you either make your own or go to the cozy Cream & Crepe Cafe in Cedarburg and order the Crepes Parisien. The paper thin “Parisien” crepes are served hot with just a tiny bit of butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Perfect for splitting with a friend alongside steaming hot cups of coffee

If you need something more substantial, you could opt for one of the entrée crepes which are offered with a variety of toppings that range from broccoli and carrots to hot corned beef and sauerkraut. And if you just can’t resist overwhelming your wonderful little crepe with an overabundance of sweet stuff, you’ll be happy to know the dessert crepes are available with everything from chocolate mousse to frozen vanilla custard topped with red cherries.

Non-crepe fans will be glad to know sandwiches and salads are also available. But seriously, who would pass up a good crepe? These simple, yet sophisticated flat cakes are always easily savored – especially when someone else is doing the cooking!

I indulged in a chocolate mousse crepe for dessert after the Cedarburg Wine and Harvest Fest on Saturday. While I didn’t care for my entrée, the dessert selection was to die for!

Yes, I bet the French hate us because of IHOP. That, and the Crosandwhich.
