I love fries and gravy! I love poutine! I love fries, gravy & cheese curd!
The first time I tried The American Poutine Co was at a food truck festival and I will admit, I wasn't impressed. Fast forward a few years, I find them on a food delivery site and decide to try them again. I'm hooked.
Is it the best poutine I've ever had? The French side of my family would be wildly disappointed. However, they're The American rendition and I must keep that in mind.
A few things, the gravy never gets as piping hot as it did in my childhood memories, when it's so hot that upon ladeling it over the curds it just melts. I've frequented the trucks now and it's always squeaky cheese curd. Ordering delivery however, gives the element it requires. By the time it's at the door the cheese has melted perfectly creating a dish to make the mouth water.
I haven't tried their multiple options available personally, because my father would tell me it isn't poutine. Although, the other eaters in the house have had the works, pulled pork, garlic fries and Philly cheesesteak with no complaints.
It's disgusting the quantity of original poutine I can eat from this establishment and probably best I keep it to delivery to avoid the looks of horror. How I like to spice it up is with some malt vinegar, ketchup and ground pepper.
So long as this place is serving up poutine, I'll be eating it. Glad it finally came to my door step to offer an entirely different experience as opposed to catching them at the food truck stops. I suppose it might be worth checking the actual place out but for now, home is where the heart is.
Thank you for supplying me with new memories of a childhood staple.
