A new restaurant has moved into the old Pearl Street Pub in downtown Albany. It's called the Skinny Pancake and it specializes in all different varieties of crepes.

Crepes which are thin pancakes that are filled with everything from chicken to fruit and other delicious items stuffed inside now have a home on Pearl Street. The Skinny Pancake originally started in Burlington, Vermont, and has eight locations across the state. But now, for the first time, they have expanded into New York.

How Did The Skinny Pancake Come About?

Benjy Adler and his brother got started 18 years ago when they started Skinny Pancake with a food cart they made from wood scraps out of their parents' kitchen floor. They say that the core of their business is eating local. They say that Skinny Pancake will always support nearby businesses. They are sourcing local products from various farms throughout the Capital Region and the state.

What Kinds of Crepes Do They Serve and is That All They Have?

No. Although they serve crepes for lunch, dinner, and dessert and feature some amazing concoctions with crepes, they also serve burgers, sandwiches, salads, and poutine. They are widely known throughout Vermont for their Jonny Crepe. It is made with Vermont Maple pulled pork, caramelized onions with cheddar inside a cornmeal crepe. There is a Hot Apple Crumble dessert crepe that has local apple compote and toasted streusel wrapped in a crepe.

Don't be fooled, though. The Skinny Pancake serves crepes for lunch, dinner, dessert food, and of course breakfast. They are known for their Jonny Crepe which is Vermont Maple pulled pork, caramelized onions with cheddar all in a cornmeal crepe. There is also the Hot Apple Crumble dessert crepe that has a local apple compote and toasted streusel wrapped up in a crepe. But they don't just do crepes. They also serve burgers, sandwiches, salads, and poutine.
