Real French Crepes

[pglatour]

Crepes are awesome. If your in So Cal, crepes from the Crepe'n Around food truck are much better than the Crepes Bonaparte food truck.

[MsPapeRock]

This is a Galette, not a crèpe. Because crepe is sugary and Galette salt.

[notsolittleL]

@MsPapeRock Crepes can be salty too ..

[markomnen]

I hope his hands were clean

[HKichen]

vrf792 commented that this crepe he ate was the best crepe he ever eaten. I guess it was a good crepe, especially since it does come from France where people are more discerning to food than some other places which i will not mention.

[Relda999]

i'd eat the whole thing in seconds!

[ImDaveCrazy]

Recipe for crepes?? Who's got some good ones!! cheers

[RestaurantEquipment]

Galette...Crepe...it doesn't matter, as long as it is tasty in it's own way.

[cantor0305]

that's why they look like "too burn crepe", because it's NOT "CREPE" but "GALETTE" ... :) .(a "breton", i know something about crèpe and galette.....)

[cantor0305]

it's not "crepe" but bretonne "galette". the difference with crepe it's not dessert but salt recipe. it's simply crepe with buckwheat flour instead classic flour, salt instead sugar, and water instead milk...

[sgcl10658]

Does anyone know what type of cheese he used?

[GMafiozos]

is this what you call a "crépe"? ... I'll never give 6 or 7 euros (maybee more) for this crap.

[nakos87]

Hi, what's that you're using in the beginning of this video? The lubricant thing?

[t07061988]

Wow that guy sure was generous with the cheese! Maybe because the camera was on him? Makes me hungryyyy

[AbysmalPanda]

Those aren't crepes, they're fortune cookies now. T.T

[JulieAP8]

I love ham and cheese crepes

[philfont6409]

EW

[microbaarts]

a soccer player is cooking smoked crepes

[stoprainlty]

Mmm savoury crepes... But after trying it I still think the dessert ones are better

[luvfinger]

I would have turned the crepe shell a little bit sooner, but then again, Im American, what the (*#%&*) do I know?

[210482fmj]

i used a cast iron pan upside down so i had a perfectly flat cooking surface to slide the spatula under to loosen them. i looked at the price of these cast iron crepe makers that they use in catering and they were to much for the home. some of them use 6 or 8 kw of electric.

[geezermeezer]

yep... anyone for high chloresterol and heart disease? anyone? xD

[globin3]

The reason why the crêpe is brown is because it's more of a galette, which is made from buckwheat flour. It's not brown because it burned..

[rubietheone3]

let me tell you something fellas, as a french man. these are legit french crêpes. these are salty ones (hence the fact that they're brown and a bit burnt), you have to make them very thin, and crispy. we ad some typical fillings: ham, goat cheese (awesome), salad, grated cheese, and of course an egg.

our sweet crêpes (filled with Nutella, chocolate spread) are golden, thick and fluffy, we don't cook them for such a long time. i even think we're not using the same ingredients for the batter.

[TheKomakii]

@rubietheone3 Ui ui ui, pmutôt que de me m'épuiser à écrire un texte en anglais je préfère thumb up que tout le monde le voit.

Thumb up rubietheone as everyone can see his comment in first page ^^

[rubietheone3]

@TheKomakii ah ah ! Paresseux ! XD

j'ai vu sur ton profil qu'on partage les mêmes (bonnes) valeurs, à savoir: on aime la bonne bouffe et les jeux vidéos. D'ailleurs, je t'ai laissé un comm parce que c'est dommage que tes vidéos n'en aient pas plus.

[Somethingproductable]

Too thick man.

[nikandnana]

I have to have crepes every time I go Paris. The one with Nutella is great as well as the one with Chantilly cream.

[jvasquez213]

they are real burned

[Amalkiri]

this must be ridiculously tasty

[MrMariofan7]

egg???

cheese and salt????

[Nniseko]

wow！OISHISO!　I like crepe!　

[chisaoboy]

Great vid!

[kyuubisharinan3296]

its funny how some people(mostly in america) are disgusted by unpasturized milk.its delicous! thats when the milk is most creamy and rich!dont worry they only way you will get sick is if the cow is sick

[kyuubisharinan3296]

the crepe looked kind of burned to me.your not supposed to make it that dark

[cdelpardo]

there is a little shop at a mall in colorado springs that make crepes like this. they were absolutely delicious!!! I wish I could eat there everyday!!!

[LegoBoyLego]

is this like breakfast crepes? and do they have more fillings then just this like nutella or etc

[69adrummer]

I guess you guys goofing on this outta think that if one person ought to know how to make a crepe, it'd be a Frenchman! I mean, hell, you wouldn't want him telling us how to tune our Chevy v8, or play baseball, right?

[HelloImQuin]

they look great :)

[seatedcrab]

the chinese started crepe making made more sophisticated by french

[makaihime]

The hell...it look burnt. O_o

[ndnflava]

Paris was awfully cold when i went

i enjoyed watching them make crepes on the street

i love the handy tools they use

[Meteotrance]

trust me people with more than 200 degres celcius on the iron plate all the bacterian cannot live long and are kill, with this kind of cooking.

I eat that since my childhood and im still alive withou sickness !!! ^^

[sixaxisps3azn]

the crepe one with the egg is a copy from china its not from france. that idea is from china. the name is dan bing.

[alpacks]

@sixaxisps3azn crepes are maded in france since lot of century in brittany for exemple ... we made crepe lot of time before china open her door of the world in 19th century ! it's not "chinese" sorry ...

[alpacks]

Répondre à cette vidéo... and for question of counterfeiting and copies i think france no have to receive lesson by chinese ... ok ?

[linnlar]

You obviously know how to make French Crepes. I know how to make Swedish Crepes! Check out the latest episode of my online cooking show.

[Etoile]

Can't wait to taste that one day... Ah paris... and look at that cheese!! wow!!! lurve it! ^^

[Etoile]

Can't wait to try them one day.^^ ahhh,,, paris,^^

[kakashi341girl]

Japanese crepes look yumyer

[Delilars]

Mmm, crépes! I like the sweet ones.

[charmaineisnotcool]

the best crepes ive had were from benodet in south france.

white chocolate ;)

[harry193276329]

crepes are just pancakes but way thiner you can have any ingridient you want but must have the basic

[Kenpachi035]

it's not a crêpes ! it's a galette ! LOL And both are coming from brittany ! there is never any eggs in crêpes !

[kloya71595]

that does look more like a galette

[brasco934]

I agree, this is a Galette.

[101smokinaces]

damn yur dumb the egg wasn't to make the crêpes because the crêpes was already done the egg was just used to give taste and btw you can put wtv you want in a crêpes

[MrBlackfish011]

how did you make your e with the accent mark?

[arivera3426]

I wish we could have street food like this in the USA but we're too paranoid about getting sick and shit.

Vive le France!!

[shechshire]

It would probably be too expensive make them either and most americans would rather have a hot dog anyway.

[arivera3426]

True. Most Americans go to a foreign country to eat at McDonald's. How stupid is that???

[shechshire]

lol yea I know

[Delilars]

@arivera3426 I would never do that! Screw McDonalds, that shit is gross.

[kakashi341girl]

Your rude.

[arivera3426]

@kakashi341girl

you don't know proper grammar, trick.

[xiEatPiexD]

@arivera3426

what do you mean true? o.o why would they go to foreign countries to eat mcdonalds btw. O__O since they are going to another country...

[Stertje1979]

@arivera3426

that's true!!!! hahahahaha youre really rigth !!!!!

[Saberek]

@arivera3426 I ate McDonald's once while in Paris. Most of the street restaurants aren't that great. Best thing in Paris were the crepes, bread, and chocolate moose. Which i had about everyday, but i must say the crepes weren't better than the ones in Austin.

[kyuubisharinan3296]

@arivera3426 lol i know right! Btw im french :P

[aivilik]

@arivera3426 Pretty stupid; and I'm an American. That's one major point of traveling, is to try the local cuisine. If you're going to eat the same things you eat at home, why travel? And McDonald's? Good God, man; ANY food is better than McDonald's.

[Luisofbrazil]

@arivera3426 well, they wanna see if the foreign country's mcdonalds is better or worse than mcdonalds in USA, but later they'll eat something different

[THEBOB566974]

@Luisofbrazil tbh mc d tastes dif in dif countrys

[Luisofbrazil]

@THEBOB566974 I know, it does

[larsbullock]

@arivera3426 Have you actually conducted a survey that substantiates this? I'm American and I like to submerse myself in the cultures of the countries I visit by dining on their cuisines. I decided to stop in at a McDonald's in France. It was a culturally enriching experience as it was quite different from eating at McDonald's in the US. For instance, you could get a salad with frisee lettuce toped with a perfectly poached egg and corn niblets and lardons. You could even order beer to drink.

[DoshUnScripted]

@arivera3426

Have you been to forgine country with most Americans.

The more people talk about Americans it shows more and more what they DON"T REALLY KNOW about Americans.

Most Americans (THAT I KNOW) try to get involved with the culture of foregine countries, most foreigners that come to the United States that I have observe try to CHANGE the American Culture.... how Crow-Magnum is THAT ?

[Radjehuty]

@DoshUnScripted So extremely true. I'm sick of people complaining about how arrogant Americans are when I see comments on here from people of other nations like Italy or France or other places in Europe making fun of Americans about how terrible we are or whatever, and yet American tourists are so enthusiastic to try foreign food or try new things. I do have french and italian friends though that are not like that so I don't want to generalize...but I'm glad I'm not the only one to recognizethis

[KATOMATE01]

@DoshUnScripted I didn't think it was possible to spell foreign wrong twice in a row...TWO DIFFERENT WAYS....and then you spell foreigners correct? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!

[chepe371]

@arivera3426 wanna know whats more stupid? their NATIONAL cuisine is mcdonalds....thats THEIR contribution to culinary arts....

[Radjehuty]

@arivera3426 LOL that might be true if we were in a country that sold things like snails!!! Oh wait...

[RagnarOdinsson]

@arivera3426 Most foreigners come to America and are stupid, how true is that?

[AMilitantAgnostic]

@arivera3426 A Crepe is better than McDonald's Egg on and English Muffin how?

Street vendors are just as bad as fast food, all that cheese made that into god knows how many calories...

[cantor0305]

@AMilitantAgnostic i agree crepe or galette are our french fast food with bagette's "sandwich". it's not better than mac do, it depends of the taste of people. The difference is when you enter in a creperie ( crepe's restaurant) you didn't have the feeling to be in a factory, thats it...

[onejeremytogo]

@AMilitantAgnostic I had nutella crepes for dinner tonight. And yes it was MUCH better than a fake egg on a preservative filled transfat induced imitation muffin. LOL For one they're real with real ingredients, 2 you can put anything in a crepe, 3 they're just really good. I was apprehensive too until I wondered around Paris @ 5 am and the only 24 hour place I could get a drink at was a restaurant that sold them. Not wanting to look cheap I ordered one and fell in love with them.

[Radjehuty]

@shechshire Depends on where you go. I personally hate hot dogs and I'm American. I live within the NYC greater metro area and so we get a lot of international influence. It would be refreshing to see a street vendor creating crepes and I know they'd definitely sell. They cook fast, relatively cheap to make and they're delicious. Most Americans actually do love crepes especially around NYC. Don't generalize all Americans please...we're not ALL from Texas and wear cowboy hats and shoot guns -.-

[crazyjorge2111]

@Radjehuty there are street vendors down by a shopping center here in maryland. I was surprised to see them.

[carlosarmercado]

@crazyjorge2111

Where in MD, I live near West Cold Sprigs Metro

[crazyjorge2111]

@carlosarmercado At the Rio Washingtonian Center. Yerp.

[selwynmarques]

@Radjehuty No need to diss on Texans. Just cos apparently you enjoy crepes you think you're a better person or something? Imbecile!!!

Learn to live and let live moron.

[funnyx4321]

@arivera3426 thats not street food. street food is like hot dog stands n stuff like that. thats clearly a little store.

[MOTORCAP26]

THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. THE REASON IS IS BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THEM YET. THEY ARE CATCHING ON LIKE WILDFIRE IN CHICAGO, OREGON, NEW YORK, TEXAS, AND OTHER PLACES. IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE WHILE. IT'S NOT TOO EASY EITHER BECAUSE THERE AREN'T A HECK OF A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO CAN ACTUALLY COOK WORTH A DAMN!! I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE A LOT OF STREET VENDORS, TRUCKS, CARTS, ETC., POPING UP IN L.A., SAN DIEGO, SAN FRAN, PHOENIX, NEW MEXICO, NEW ORLEANS, BOSTON, TEXAS, CHICAGO, PORTLAND, ETC..

[johnaaaaaaaa]

@arivera3426 nyc has a lot of great street vendors :)

[28880]

@arivera3426

we do have street food, instead of crepes, we have burritos.

main reason why we don't have these kinds (to be exact): it's not "American" food. It'd just be a...another copy

[supersaiyanssoul]

that's how they make them in my city in ohrid,macedonia :) there are people doing that on every step xD they taste reaaaaly good

[cjwright79]

The man's got some serious skill.

[TheWanderingWayfarer]

This is such a tourist video, lol. :P

Anyway, this guy makes his living off of what he cooks. He has to keep a business running. His business is still there. If his crepes were nasty, what do you think would happen? Especially in France, where people demand an, at least, slightly better quality of food in general (it isn't just stereotype.)

Whenever the cook's whole reputation and livelihood rides on the tastiness of his food, you can be sure it's good. His food is field tested daily.

[Phelix74]

It was probably just that brown because of the type of egg used in the batter or something else... looks delicious

[TheWanderingWayfarer]

In France, wheat flour or buckwheat flour is typically used for crêpes. It's a darker flour.

[Phelix74]

oh i see. thanks for the insight

[conservativekid18]

Was this place located in like a small side street. Like, I think there's like a candy shop and a place where there's chickens being roasted.

[kjlsder]

la crepe serait surement plus succulente sans les empreintes digitales

[pepperbunny14]

thats what i was thinking!

[Matrix5060]

He was cooking the crepe way too long...one minute per side at most...this guy was burning it. Ask anybody....you cook a crepe 30 seconds per side

I bet that crepe he made tasted like shoe leather

[bakuganman879]

i dont know why people are saying ur comments poor ur right its like brown it should only be like slightly dark tan at most

[vrf792]

No, actually they tasted delicious. The best crepe I ever had.

[xiEatPiexD]

@vrf792

why does everyone say that its the best crepe i ever had . they could be lyingg ya knoww .

[mrheadagainstwall]

@vrf792 is it becos dats the only crepe u ate in ur life? -.-

[thibaulthalpern]

Nope. Depends on how hot the pan is.

[foncleaa]

you're probably right but if you don't usually have crepe, you can't distinguish the goods from the bads.

[69erstud]

It really depends on how your customers like it... whether made to order or how he prefers to make 'em. If they keep coming back or simply that they love it darker, who cares...it's their preference. Thibau is right... always depends how hot the pan is. But I would kill to have that consistency... I make crepes and they do not even come close. So his is prolly cooked at a lower temperature. If it were rubbery, it would not fold easily and it will break apart easier as he makes the fold.

[YOUchris15]

@Matrix5060 depends how hot tthe pan was?

[aivilik]

@Matrix5060 I initially thought that the one crepe was probably burning too, but he must have been using a lower heat than what we probably assumed; it certainly didn't look burned once he folded it over.

[alvinatang]

@Matrix5060 i agree!!!!!!!!!!!

[jorge10002ns]

@Matrix5060 how do you know taste like shoe leather?

do you eat shoe leather?

[M3anbone]

@Matrix5060 You're gonna tell the french they don't make crepes right... lol

[bir90]

@Matrix5060 no you can keep it for 1 min each side but im sure his temp was low....i cook them sometimes at that temp when the customers at the restaurant i workk at like it crispy

[Kawaiichans2Ukekun]

@Matrix5060 Really looks burn...

[Ayumura96]

@Matrix5060 if they tasted like shoe leather, he'd already be fired wouldn't he?

[onewaytosavetheday]

YUM!

[tinkedofferm]

J'aime crepes !!

[Ronnihusler]

i would not eat at that place ... hi did not wach hi hands when toushing the egg very dangerous hi should be closed down

[K3VY8295]

sorry do you speak English?

[MalteSer001]

+ the way you went back to take the whole restaurant bit was gay ..

[MalteSer001]

lol he must have asked for extra CHEESE !!!

[melmothd]

haha! he asked "can I have my cheese with a crepe?"

[Rediahs]

But it's not that much cheese :s Do you realize when you shred cheese, there's a lot of air in it? Have you ever cooked anything with shredded cheese?!?

[PaineHeaven]

wahhhhhhhhhhhhh cooll

[xibalbardp]

me gusta mas las crepas dulces, las saladas no se me antojan mucho.

[tinkedofferm]

yo tambien !!

[DaveChorowskiMusic]

[jamesey25150]

Thanks,

James

[candyluver10]
