Such bad poutine. I tried Smoke's Poutinerie in Kingston, and wasn't that impressed with it there. I gave it another shot (or maybe two) when I got back to Toronto only to confirm my dislike for their poutine.
You would think it's hard to mess up poutine. It's three ingredients. But somehow Smoke's is able to make poutines with soggy fries, goopy gravy, and not-fresh cheese curds.
Even my drunk self would say no to Smoke's. There are a lot of better options for poutine in the city. New York Fries, Poutini's, Mr. Tasty Fries (a food truck in front of Nathan Phillips Square). Or better yet, hop on a bus, train, or car and head to Montreal's La Banquise =)
