another great gem in Detroit is also one
of the oldest Eastern Market where
you'll find all kinds of amazing food
aside from the wonderful produce and our
show Oliver joins us with one of the
many pop ups you can discover there hey
Michelle
hey Jason and Tati you were just seeing
a delicious looking crepe because
Eastern Market isn't just a market it's
an entire district there's restaurants
there shops and then of course the
market and many of the shops actually
get their start at the market and I'm
here with Murray Bennett she is with the
French cow crepe shop correct and we're
making crepes today take a look at this
so tell me how did your business get
started I started as a pop-up so I
started popping up at a place called
coffee and that's unfortunately it's
closed right now and then I try to get
into the market so I met with them I had
a few meetings they try to help me out
try to tell me what the health
department needed for me to be here and
we had we had a lot of work to be done
but we ended up here and it's been great
you hear that accent she's the real deal
this is real French crepes and one thing
I didn't realize is that French crepes
if they're savory they're made with
buckwheat correct yes in France
traditionally in Brittany they're made
with buckwheat we have two different
batters one for the sweet and one for
the savory and the savory is much darker
like this and the sweet is a
white-collar crepe yes if you were
wondering why it looked maybe it's a
little different that's the reason why
but what crepe are we making here today
watch this we're making like a
traditional crave from friends with an a
crack egg that we scramble over the top
of it with a little salt and pepper then
we put cheese over the top
ham and caramelized onions now I have my
gloves on so I can help out so you want
you want cheese on this is now time for
the cheese all right pour generous
she's saying load it up yes so what made
you want to get into making crêpes I
just always loved it and my family we
always made it when we grew up it was it
was really all the time during the
summer and we learned how to make it and
I wanted to share it because in America
I feel like they don't do the
buckwheat's
and I kind of drove me crazy a little
bit she's bringing a savory crepe I did
I wanted to show what we really do and
how we do it and so okay we have the
cheese we have the egg and I we need ham
yeah and this is pretty traditional in
terms of savory yes that's what you
would get if you go to Brittany or in
Paris you would get it in the streets
and there's also caramelized onions I've
watched her make more than one of these
because I am very I'm hungry I'm dying
to try some of this and so you also have
sweet let's take a look really quick at
the sweet we have the sweet ones here
with the lovely whipped cream on them
here's two more of the savory as well
