Inside Crepe Crazy—a restaurant nestled in a European-style cottage in Dripping Springs—the menu is written on a chalkboard that covers most of the wall. Next to the list of sweet and savory options, the words “Point and ye shall receive” give a clue as to what makes the local cafe unique.
“First and foremost, this is [a] deaf family-owned and -operated company,” founder Inna Giterman wrote on a notepad during an interview with Community Impact Newspaper. “We founded [Crepe Crazy] with intentions of giving deaf people an opportunity to showcase their skills when others wouldn’t.”
Giterman’s love for crepes—or “blinis” as they are known in her home country of Ukraine—is deeply rooted in family, she explained.
“Crepes are something we grew up with,” she wrote. “[We had] no prior culinary experience, but nearly everybody in this family enjoys cooking, trying new recipes [and] getting creative with food.”
