| - A quick comment on Laura's soda dislike - I tried the Gus Dry Cola today. It is definitely different from classic Coke. Made with cola bean extract, caramel, and cane syrup, it has good flavor and is less sweet. 95 calories per bottle. Yes, it is different, but a premium product.
I had their brulee desert crepe today. Tasty mildly sweet crepe with caramelized sugar on top. Nice. But, they also served some sliced strawberries, a few blueberries and some candied orange peel as a garnish. One thing common to all the dishes I have sampled is they are a little better than I thought possible.
Strawberries taste pretty bland these days. I use to pick strawberries at a local "you pick it" farm. Most of the fresh red strawberries never made it into my bucket. The days of finding great tasting strawberries that you did not personally grow are over.
At Crepe Bar, the commercial strawberries are infused with flavor by processing in a vacuum (sous vide) with simple syrup, vanilla and other spices. Result, great tasting strawberries. And, the blueberries were pickled. Lots of wow factor.
Expect food that tastes a little better than you thought possible at the Crepe Bar.
