National Crepe Suzette Day and Beverage Day in USA
National Crepe Suzette Day and Beverage Day in USA is held on May 6. This event in the first decade of the month May is annual.
We’re tipping a nod to Crêpes Suzette day, 6th May, with a look at the legend surrounding the much-disputed origins of this most flamboyant of desserts.
Conflicting stories abound, but one regularly told tale claims Suzette was an actress – Suzanne Reichenburg – who, while performing at the Comedie Française as a serving girl, carried crêpes on stage, supplied by a Monsieur Joseph of the Marivaux restaurant. Another cites the dessert’s namesake as an aristocrat, Princess Suzette Carignan, bidding to win the affections of King Louis XV.
