| - Damn! Ok, if you love gut-churningly awesome poutine, adore cheese curds, and can't get enough bison, order the following:
Large sweet potato poutine, extra curds, topped with bison.
Sweet mercy on my soul -- the part of my soul that used to be a vegetarian! That was some seriously good poutine!
I'd hit five stars, but it was a bit... cooled by the time it actually got to us (loooong wait despite a quiet early evening). Definitely gonna go back and try it again, though, this time with a contingent of poutine loving compadres.
For the record, Heather actually didn't like it... but she isn't a fan of bison, so I can't knock points there.
As an afterthought, the burger was just ok -- 3 stars. At the price one can't complain, as it's certainly head and tail above what you'd get at a fast food joint for (maybe) a buck less. And, unlike the fast food joint, I would wager it contains exactly 0% tail.
We dropped thirty-five after tax and tip on two beer, a rather premium poutine, and the burger (topped with goat cheese and caramelized onion at $1.25 each).
Of note, beer list included Guiness (from a can; ask for a glass), which I've always thought was about the perfect drink accompaniment to bison. If the the Stampede poutine were seduced by The Perfect Pint and found itself with child, I would consume the love child and steal its considerable power.
(Caveat: I may be mildly buzzed.)
