Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Two crème brûlées in foil tins show deeply torched sugar tops, photographed above the cart’s printed side panel, which advertises French crème brûlée and French desserts at 720 Market Street.

They ran into the cart by chance on the way back to the hotel. The best street finds are unplanned, and a torched crème brûlée from a cart qualifies.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Deeply torched sugar crust
  • Served from a street cart

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A happy accident on Market Street — crème brûlée from a cart.
