I have crêpes on my mind. Savory, or sweet, they are a taste treat.

The paper-thin pancake originated in Brittany, the northwest region of France. Originally used as a bread staple, crêpes were generally made with buckwheat flour.

Beginning in the early 1900's, crêpes were paired with fillings, both savory and sweet, and the simple staple became a delicious delicacy. From humble regional origins, its popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and beyond.

From the food cart outside the Musée d'Orsay to the popular La Crêperie Café on 2nd Street in Long Beach, it's hard not to love'em.
