The Dish: Nutella Crêpe Option 4 — For Crêpe Sake

Posted

Oh Italy, you have given us so many wonderful things. Pasta, Lamborghinis Leonardo da Vinci, the operas of Puccini … I could go on. But a certain culinary achievement holds a special place in my heart. I’m talking, of course, about Nutella. That devilishly delicious hazelnut spread makes almost everything better. Toast, apple slices, cookies — you could spread some Nutella on an old shoe and I’d at least give it a try.

The fine folks at For Crêpe Sake — which recently moved from the Lansing City Market to a Washington Square storefront — understand the allure of Nutella. The café offers four versions of Nutella crêpes. My favorite is option four: an airy crêpe filled with creamy Nutella, melty chocolate chips and bananas. Sorry, I just had to wipe some drool off of my keyboard.

This crêpe is very rich, so you may want to bring a friend to help out. Even better, make a two-person meal out of it and pair it with one of the shop’s savory crêpes. I recommend the Louvre, which features prosciutto, egg, brie, and red pesto sauce. Order a French press of coffee — featuring Zingerman’s coffee — and you’ve got yourself a killer combo.
