General Thoughts- Crepes

            I honestly don’t understand the obsession that some people have with crepes. After having tried four totally different kinds of crepes from three extremely different businesses in three different areas, I was underwhelmed every single time. Okay, I get it, they’re like thin pancakes. But they seem to have no flavor, they’re awkwardly chewy without being gummy chewy, and they’re over priced.

            The crepes in discussion include those from the French Crepe Company in the shops at Hollywood and Highland (Hollywood Walk of Fame), The Crêperie on Newbury in Boston, MA, and La Petite France crepe truck from Connecticut.

The Crêperie on Newbury- Boston, MA

Brown sugar crepe with powdered sugar on top

Bland. The filling was thin and dissipated quickly. What you are left with after a few seconds is chewy sweetened batter.

Nutella filled crepe with powdered sugar on top

For the price of this crepe (which got cold very quickly), I would have been better off just buying a jar of Nutella and eating that. (Sorry for no picture, didn't think to take one)

Sugar crepe was extremely bland, boring, and I had to force myself to finish it. The cheddar cheese crepe was a fun twist on the grilled cheese, but nothing spectacular. I would have rather had a regular grilled cheese.
