This was a huge disappointment. There's nothing more satisfying than deep fried potatoes smothered in cheese and dark brown deliciousness, but I left the Big Cheese feeling like crap. It could have been because I ordered the vegetarian nacho poutine and not the traditional like I should have. Who came up with the bright idea to mix guacamole with beef gravy? In my defense, I didn't know they were going to add the gravy to it. For some reason I was imagining it was going to be similar to The Works from New York Fries, but it was so far from it. This is probably the only time I would ever pick a food court meal over something more "gourmet."
Despite my gross poutine, I would give the Big Cheese another chance because there are probably better ones I could have chosen. The fries were decent, and the prices are on par for your average urban poutinerie. I find the menu to be overloaded with strangely elaborate toppings and I'm more of a simple creature. It's your potato equivalent to Tubby Dog - you either love it all, or you can only handle so much of it.
