Pancake Circus Has Gone to the Clowns
What the hell happened to my beloved Cirque du Crepe?!? Sure, they still know how to turn out a mighty nice flapjack, but on my last visit almost every other thing we ordered was unfathomably subpar, bordering on inedible. And I’m not talking hard to cook stuff here. It’s not like we ordered souffles and … Continue reading “Pancake Circus Has Gone to the Clowns”

It is, of course, the Pancake Circus, or as I like to call it, “Le Cirque de Crepe.” This is greasy-spoon eating at its best. … Continue reading “Pancake Circus – Gut Budget”
