Mr. Crepe?

[komos.livejournal.com]

Surely I can't be the only one who prefers crepes with a delicate consistency rather than the oversized grilled crackers that are the standard fare of Mr. Crepe... Do any of the creperies on this side of the river not serve their crepes overcooked?

I apologize in advance for bringing up "strange food" again.

no! Nowhere! Not even that one in Harvard square. WE ARE ALL DOOMED.

just make some yourself. eveyone here thinks "crepe" means "thick, chewy pancake"

But you're the king of strange food!

I actually like the place in harvard square, but can't speak to the quality of their crepes as ideal crepes as I've never had proper crepes.

Hey. Strange food guy. Please stop crepe-ing on this list!

[komos.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's on.

Speak with your lady love and let me know whether you'd prefer sweet or savory in the main.

[komos.livejournal.com]

I weep for the future.

[komos.livejournal.com]

But, I'm so tired of waffling over whether to say anything or not!

aw, don't worry, Sweetcakes, you're fine :)

Thanks, Muffin.

On Boston Ave, not too far from Tufts, they deliver. The crepes are pretty yummy :)

I like the Merguez Crepe, though these days they seem to be stuffed too full of the Merguez and Spinich goodness.

[inahandbasket]

Yes.
:D

Sweet. I didn't even know about that place, and I'm just down the hill.

Thanks. ^^

Bah. I like my crackers, and want one right now!

[komos.livejournal.com]

Free any time this weekend? Is there anything besides meat that I shouldn't try to stuff in them?

[komos.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I don't hate them, and I'm well aware that there are folks who really dig them. It just pains me to call them crepes.

The crepes there are the same as everywhere else, but you be the judge. I like the Granny Smith and cheddar one.

I am so with you on this one. Mr Crepe makes me angry.

Unfortunately, Le Gamin closed about 4 or 5 years ago. Since then, my life has been empty.

...and so, his hopes were dashed as quickly as they soared.

What are you, Parisian? That actually might be a useful search term, if you're looking for that style of crepe. The Brittany-style ones that Mr. Crepe does are thicker, but no less authentic.

Re: Cafe' De Crepe in Medford

[ronhaha108.livejournal.com]

Do you think they are the same as Mr. Crepe? I think they are much thinner, though they do fill them more than they should.

Let's take this off LJ.
You've got mail!

No, I'm just another alcoholic blue-stater who wishes he was European.

I have to dust off one of the old recipes and make some over the weekend. If it turns out, I'm happy to share with.

I know it's south of the river (way, way, way south) but La Creperie in Providence has what you are looking for. It's tucked away in a little alley but the crepes are parisian and fantastic and named after the owner's ex-girlfriends. The smoothies are also fantastic. If you happen to be taking a day trip down that way, I recommend stopping in.

[komos.livejournal.com]

Incidentally, it's not the thickness but the grilled to cracker consistency that rankles.

As a matter of fact, I've a show to see in Providence not two weeks from now. ^^
