I've saved the highlight of our trip for last. I know I know, you are thinking what could be more fun than bats, the Zilker Zephyer, and hotel swiming pools...lest you die of anticipation I will tell you.I was almost a Food Network TV star!
Ok, well "almost" might be a bit of an exageration but we did get to eat at one of the places featured on "Throwdown" with Bobby Flay. It was fate, I'm sure! See here is what happened. We were in our hotel room watching the food network because Tyler and I are closet foodnetwork junkies. This is why we will never have cable, we would seriously sit in front of the TV watching HGTV or Foodnetwork 24-7. On vacations however, it's a different story. I don't feel guilty doing it then because it's only once or twice a year.Well, as I was saying, we were watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay when the location of the place he was featuring flashed on the screen saying "Austin Texas". I totally freaked out and quickly googled it. The name of the resturaunt was "Flip Happy Crepes". It seriously is a trailer run by two women who make the best crepes in the entire world. They totally beat Bobby at the throwdown. They have both savory and sweet crepes filled with the most wonderful ingredients like spinach, feta cheese, pulled pork, and many many other delicious items. Well I ask you, what are the odds of being in Austin Texas, watching Food Network, and seeing a restaurant that we were literally minutes away from? We HAD to go! And let me tell you it was well worth it. If you are ever in Austin you HAVE to stop by this place. It has some serious character and some even more serious crepes.
Mmmmmm....beautiful!

Oh my goodness. I think I want to drive to Austin. I give you permission to test your crepes out on me if you start making them.
I'm a Food Network junkie too. It is a good thing that we are too poor for cable. I've been working on crepes too and I can finally flip them without a spatula. Well, I guess that I can flip them successfully about half the time but it is much more fun that way.
Looks delicious! Who knew you can eat crepes so many ways. I may have to experiment with crepe making myself...stay tuned.
I am also a FN junkie. Luckily we also don't have tv. So I just watch it at my mom's. My whole family loves that channel. We actually try and hit up places mentioned when we go on vacation. That is right. We plan it around food. lol. That crepe looks delish!
So um I've never watched Food Network...oh well, I think I'll be ok. The crepes looked good though.
Oliver is getting so big I can't believe it! He is darling! We also love the food network. I have yet to perfect the crepe making but they look delicous. How fun you got to go to the featured restaurant!
