| - went over yesterday for the soft free poutine opening, i had mentioned to my significant other that we should bring some cash on us, because i was expecting the "free poutine" to be a "tiny" size and just traditional serving.
BOY WAS I WRONG
after standing in the slow moving line for almost two hours in the cold. we had six servings of poutine split between four people.
the franchisee's father was handing out menu's and was Super polite in explaining to everyone in the line that we were able to have any style of poutine on the menu, so as we were reading it over making our decisions carefully, i was planning on going for my traditional offering of "triple pork" but then i thought hey! why not try something i don't normally have, which lead me to having the chicken peppercorn(slightly disappointed) and the hogtown(it was good). what i can say about both poutines is, these were the best servings of poutine i've had at any location, and i say this because this is the tenth location i've been to in ontario. the fries/potatoes were superb, i was thinking because the oil is so clean it was really rich in flavor which i have not experienced at any other location of smokes, the cheese was amazing as always, and aside from the addition toppings i move onto the gravy. for the hogtown it was good, rich and bold full of flavor, for the chicken peppercorn i was slightly disappointed in its inconsistency, it was good in portions and not so good in portions...it lacked an overall pepper bite/flavor to it. really enjoyable but thats my two cents.
great location, parking is sparse (as with all of them)
i really want to take a moment as well and just put it out that, even though this was completely free, i think the ball was dropped with "we're not selling drinks today" they would have made a significant amount on that portion of sales alone, but alas, i'm not in charge.
will defiantly go back, as my best friends live down the street
