a day in detroit

Recently I went with Kind Lifer Lisa to the Arts Beats and Eats festival of bands and artists in Detroit. I found one artist I loved Urban Landscapes Pottery's Laura Macntyre and I bought 4 bowls from her.

I'm so happy because I've been meaning to buy soup bowls for two years and now I can cross it off my list. I really like them - perfect size for nabe yaki udon from my book or for any large soup. I was so happy to find this perfect size!

Then we went to Royal Oak as suggested by Kind Lifer Shannon Hall who told us to go to a crepe spot What Crepe - they have vegan crepes if you ask. Our waitress was vegan too and she recommended a crepe filled with avocado sundried tomatoes asparagus spinach mushrooms and an orange jalepeno sauce....delicious!!! Then we shared a crazy one with chocolate bananas pecans and ice cream...we went nuts clearly! I'm not sure I ultimately made the best dessert combo - don't get me wrong it was good....but the savory crepe was delicious and I would love to have that again and again.

Our waitress also recommended the apple pie crepe done vegan. But Lisa and I weren't feeling apple pie. Lisa came up with an idea for blueberry agave and banana - maybe next time since you can build your own crepes!

We both left with headaches from the sugar. It was fun for a second and I'd do it again but maybe a crepe with strawberries fresh bananas and pecans but no ice cream or chocolate - a super yummy no-headache dessert with maybe a tiny drizzle of agave to top it off.

Has anyone been there and had the perfect combo for a sweet crepe or do you have any other vegan crepe combo you can recommend?
