As a self-professed poutine lover, I've been on a lot of poutine crawls in Montreal and Quebec city, so I think I speak from a lot of experience and clogged arteries over the years. When smokes first appeared on the Toronto scene years ago, I liked it due to it being the only alternative to poutine from Harvey's. But as other poutine places emerged, the quality expectations grew while Smokes was...well left in the dust. The classic Poutine is ok to hit the spot on a late drunken night, but I'm often left disappointed. All the other abomination of poutines they have are horrible, I see them as poutine blasphemy.
