| - FACT: Poutine is one of Canada's national food groups.
FACT: I am Canadian.
FACT: I hate Poutine.
But I do love fries, and I love things on my fries.
So in a late night Doctor says "you can't eat after midnight" walk around Downtown T(dot)O (dot) to find something to fill me up I stumble into a Poutine place.
Why on earth would i do that? For fries and stuff on my fries of course!
The fries at Smoke's are golden yellow fluffy on the inside and the perfect crunch on the outside. In the world of 'fast food' fries they come close to perfection. So I don't know why people want to muck them all up and put gross gravy all over them. But I guess that's how we Canadians are, and judging on how many people ahead of me asked for extra gravy I'm going to just assume if you are into that sorta thing Smoke's Poutinerie gravy might be pretty tasty.
All is not lost though my yelping friends. Because here they pretty much put anything and everything on, or should I say in, Poutine.
I ordered a small which made me miss the USA because it was the size of my face. I asked for the pulled pork (which totally hit the spot) and added peas.....and cheese curds of course!
"no gravy please"
"no gravy?"
"no thank you"
"we have veggie gravy you know"
"no thank you, no gravy"
I paid with a Canadian bank card as to say 'it's ok I'm still Canadian.'
The staff was friendly and the place was full...... I left with my big box of fries, pork, cheese, and peas, and walked back to my hotel happy to dig in.....and well I can't complain. It was some cheap, good, solid, stick to my arteries, fill up my belly, late night dinner.
