With the world still reeling from the loss of the great Steve Jobs, customers of Crepe Amour in Washington DC are finding sweet solace in the 'Steve's Job Crepe'. The crepe, concocted in the technological legend's honor predictably features baked apples topped with almonds, cinnamon and caramel enveloped in the shop's signature crepe.
Crepe Amour posted about the crepe on the company's Facebook wall stating that Jobs' "ideals & simplicity will never be forgotten as they have now laid the foundation for others. I don't think anyone can deny that his innovations haven't played a role at some point in our lives." The store gave away the popular menu item to lucky customers yesterday during the afternoon.
The Steve's Job Crepe is the perfect way to console oneself, because misery truly loves caramel.
