Full of Crepes - Saturday, November 3rd
On Saturday, November 3rd we will have the Full of Crepe food truck at the Post. Their specialty is crepes - of course. Now when you think crepes, you might automatically think dessert. Full of Crepe does offer a lineup of sweet crepe classics like Crepe Suzette and Bavarian Creme. But they also boast a full menu of savory lunch/dinner worthy options to suit any palate.
Some of the crowd favorites include the Italian crepe and the Monte Cristo crepe. The Italian is a meaty, melty combo of salami, pepperoni, cappicola, and sundried tomato, all held together with mozzarella and topped off with a balsamic drizzle. It is savory and rich and pretty much perfect. Looking for something more classic? Try the Monte Cristo crepe, which has ham, turkey, and mozzarella cheese. This savory crepe is accented by a tart and sweet raspberry preserves and a dusting of powdered sugar. It is a great twist on the standard Monte Cristo and makes for a tasty and indulgent meal.
