I've gushed about Bar Suzette, the crepe stall in Chelsea Market before, but my friends, it is time to gush again. Until October 23, there is food market of sorts set up in near Madison Square Park and Bar Suzette is there churning out the most delicious crepes I've ever tasted. Really, all I have are these four words: French Onion Soup CREPE. Yes. It's true and it's scrumptious and you should not miss out.

The basic premise of the crepe is this, onions are caramelized and then reduced in a broth that contains mushroom and beef stock, among other things to be sure, for SIX whole hours. When Bar Suzette crafts the actual crepe, a savory crepe is topped with fontina cheese, the onion mixture a sprinkling of truffle salt and few leaves of fresh thyme. Since the crepe is left on the hot crepe griddle for a minute or so after being topped with the cheese, when you bite into it, the cheese is nice and melt-y and tastes just like that fantastic first bite of French Onion Soup -- it's amazing.

Since Bar Suzette makes its crepes to order, sometimes there can be a little wait to taste your delicious crepe but hey, what's a couple minutes when the end result is a delicious crepe?!

| Melt-y cheese + onion-y deliciousness = yum, yum good. |
Bar Suzette's original location in Chelsea Market is still pumping out the crepes as always but their temporary stall in the Madison Square EAT Market will only be up till October 23. Stop by, say hi, and have a crepe -- Collin Murray and I promise you won't be sorry!
