In what may be the most unusual name pairing since chicken and waffles, Crepes & Burgers has opened their third location—this one on Iron Point Road in Folsom. Unlike the C & W phenomenon, you won’t find the namesakes combined in some weird culinary tryst. Rather, they’re part of a large menu featuring surprisingly good burgers, deliciously sweet crêpes, some unusual lunch and dinner crêpes (that I can’t wait to try!), soups, salads, pastas, pancakes, eggs benedicts, omelets…did I miss anything? The entire menu is available all day every day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., so you can have dessert for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, or mix it up however you please. I ordered their BBQ Burger medium rare, and guess what? It came out medium rare (a rarity in burgerland these days). Burger aficionados should pay them a visit; their menu features about a dozen combinations, including vegetarian patties. I also had a Strawberry Chocolate Crêpe—a doughy pillow with fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and semi-sweet chocolate sauce that would be appropriate for dessert, breakfast, or both. I swore I wasn’t going to finish it but ended up devouring every bite. Stop in and try one of their delicious creations! 

Not all crêpes are created equal, but the ones featured here rise above the rest.
