A delicious Crepe cart has quickly gotten my attention and taste buds excited in Carrboro. A few Saturdays back while I was driving around looking for yard sales I continued seeing white signs with thick pink lettering reading  "Crepes Today." I followed the signs to Johnny's on West Main Street and I was not disappointed.

 

Inside the pink and white crepe cart I found Jody and Tom Argote of Parlez-Vous Crepe making savory and sweet crepes while a line of eager customers watched. When it was my turn, I ordered a summery combination of lemon cream, local strawberries and sugar. The warm crepe melted in my mouth and transported me to a place like Heaven.

 

If you think I am being dramatic, go to Johnny's any Saturday from 9-2 and try the crepes for yourself. All of Jody's recipes are inspired by her time living and teaching English in Beaune, France. She fell in love with the French cuisine not to mention the countryside and after 20 years of teaching  she began her crepe business.

 

Jody has created 4 different batters: classic, vegan, buckwheat-traditional and savory, and chocolate for her rotating seasonal menu. Some of my favorite crepes include the Florentine bursting with feta cheese, ripe tomatoes, spinach and caramelized onions drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. My favorite sweet crepe is the fresh Lemon Creme that Jody makes herself topped with strawberries and sugar. For you non-vegetarians out there, my husband drooled over the turkey cranberry compote crepe sprinkled with pecans. And for the Classic, don't worry, there is always the Nutella and banana to fall back on. To wash down this experience, Johnny's serves fresh coffee and has plenty of seating outside in the garden. Speaking of crepes, today's Saturday, and I've been waiting for my fix all week. See you at Johnny's.
