Poutine?

So last week H and I were at Buffalo Wild Wings, and they had a new item on the menu.

Poutine.

Now, after reading you ladies talking about it, we just had to order and try it.  Is this truly it?  Because it was amazingness and I want more!

Their description was french fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy, cheese, onions, and tomatoes. H wasn't the biggest fan, and said he won't order it again.  But I had a Sam Adams Oktoberfest with it, and it was the perfect pair.

Re: Poutine?

  • I wonder if BWW around here has this! I'd love to try poutine.
  • edited September 2013
    According to poutine aficionados, it should be made of gravy, and cheese curds atop fries, no extras. I prefer mine with some braised short ribs, but I've been told that is wrong on so many levels.

    Brown gravy is normal. Define runny, it's not super thick but I wouldn't call it runny.
    and NO veggies.

    Like a really thin & watery gravy. It didn't stick to the fries very well.  I'm not a big fan of brown gravy to begin with. So maybe this was the problem for me.

    Maybe that should be my UO for today. I don't like brown gravy, but will eat a whole pan of white gravy. I blame it on growing up in a farmhouse where overcooked/dry beef was always for dinner, and you would try to smother it in brown gravy to bring it back to life.

  • @brij2006 I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you have still never had poutine. What you had was a chain restaurant's pathetic attempt at a delicious comfort food. Comfort food should stay simple.
    I am all for being served proof that this wasn't true poutine. :-)
