| - I was on my way the The Hero Factory when I noticed this place had opened. It's their grand opening and it showed. Ordering was a bit chaotic, but customers are still getting a feel for the layout. The Hangover Burger sounded terrific, topped with bacon and an egg. Then I saw they have poutine and I about jumped for joy! Poutine, in downtown Phx? This, I had to try.
It took about 15 minutes for my order to come up. Maybe a little on the long side, but not terrible. However, orders were coming up out of sequence, and that didn't make any fans.
So, I brought lunch back to the office and announce the new place has poutine. Only one person knew what I was talking about. At this point, I think you understand how significant this food is to me. I spent nearly every weekend in the late '90s in Canada. Yea, I thought. A taste of my second home. Sadly, this was not what I was looking forward to. While the fries were good, they were topped with shredded cheese and beef broth. Beef broth!! Ugh. At this point, I'm just a grumpy otter so that might have made the burger just okay. Not good, just okay. The bun was nice and soft, but the meat tasted industrial. For $13.21, I was hoping for more. I'll give them a couple of weeks and head back. Hopefully things will have improved. Until then, I'll sulk over these soupy fries. Gah!
