Flippin' for Crepes

Flip Happy Crepes on Jessie St. just north of Barton Springs Road has been featured on The Food Network (must be on cable), and has gotten other good press locally. Scott D. in Garland forwarded us some information, and requested a review. Today is also Scott's birhday, so Happy Birthday to him!
See that trailer? That's the place. Actually, it is just the place they make the crepes. You eat outside, at mostly shaded picnic or patio tables. It would be a more relaxed environment if not for the noise from the condos going up in the background. Anyone want a condo? 'Cause we got 'em.
The line was short, but the wait was long for my chicken and goat cheese crepe. I was grateful for the shade and something to read while I waited nearly 40 minutes for my simple order. I'm serious when I say they must be cooking these babies one at a time. It was good, with most of the flavor coming from the goat cheese. For $7.00 and that kind of wait time, I was hoping for a sublime experience, but it fell short of that. The dessert crepes looked quite good, though. I hope they find a storefront, or a bigger trailer, or something so they can accommodate the demand for their wares.

Remember Jack Handey?
Deep Thoughts:

Before you criticize people, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them...you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.
