To try and decide each week where and what to eat around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.
If you’re one who hasn’t dove into the world of crêpes, then you have the perfect opportunity this week (and beyond) to eat through some fascinating options at Bearry Sweet Crêpes. From savory to sweet and everything in between, we focus this week on one of their most popular sweet options. And any time you have a menu item named after the business, you know you’re in for a treat.
The crêpe batter is scratch made and perfectly griddled before getting formed into a cone shape to allow to be filled with a mixture of fresh berries, crushed Oreo cookies, pecans, and vanilla bean ice cream. If you can picture a fairly normal ice cream cone, this crêpe is about two to three times as big – it’s gigantic.
The mixture of berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries) offers up a complex layer of tart and tangy that accent the richness of the ice cream perfectly. And not only do you have contrasting textures between the ice cream-berry combo and the pecans and Oreos, you also have contrasting temperatures. The warm enveloping crêpe gives your tastebuds a huge hug and adds in an additional sweet and savory component.
The only thing you have to figure out is how you’re going to attack it. You can dive right in and figure it out as you go or go a little more delicate approach with a spoon or fork. My best advice is to spoon it at first to ensure you get a little bit of everything and biting the crêpe as you go, but when you get down to the bottom, put the pedal to the metal and just go for it.
If the pumpkin or pecan pies don’t do it for you over the holiday, try this dessert instead for something a little different. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
