chickenfeetNo, not Pierre Poutine. He's not PM anymore. That's Dustin Waterhole, a fashion model and p/t porn star.
No the cheesey, meaty, fries concoction that plays the role in Canadian culture that curry and chips and a kebab do elsewhere. Actually, truth is I'm not a huge fan of the "classic" version (fries, St. Hubert gravy, squeaky curds) but some of the more up market variants get my palate tingling. C'est What do an awesome butter chicken poutine and Stout used to top their fries with wild boar ragout and smoked cheddar. Gilead Café topped Jamie's justly famous Yukon Gold frites with shredded duck confit, thyme jus and, again, smoked cheddar. At one point Trevor even had one that involved foie gras. Caplansky's top theirs with their celebrated smoked meat. And so on.
Oh god! I'm making myself hungry. The shawarma place over the road has just introduced a shawarma poutine. I may have to try it.
