Did someone say Vladimir Poutine? Also I love traditional poutine. It's a great comfort food. I think it's starting to gain traction in the US because I've seen it on more menus at restaurants nowdays. There's even a place in Cleveland called Banter that specializes in it. Forage Public House also has a good one.

The Aardvark posted:Every time I visit family in Canada gotta get a poutine. Can't find proper curds down here in SoCal. Grew up near the Canadian border and was disgusted that Smoke's LA uses chicken gravy as their traditional poutine gravy. Beef/brown gravy is the poutine norm or it's a lovely flatlander imitation.

When I lived in Saskatchewan, I knew a guy from QC. His friends visited the strange flat land beyond the hated Onterrible, and generally had a good time but he took them to the local all-night drunkfood place in Saskatoon (Vangelli's) after a bit of a bar crawl and they had the poutine. Frozen skinny fries "cooked" in the microwave with lumps of low-quality cheddar (like the big cheap brick from Sobeys) and gravy from a packet of powder. The look of shock on their faces was priceless. Years later, I lived in Quebec City for half a year (highly recommended, stay for longer if you can). That's where I discovered Smoke's, as one cheap and cheerful option amid an overwhelming bounty of choice. Fancy restaurants in the Ville, like those right in the deep tourist trap of the old City, serve half-decent poutine dressed up with pretention (never in short supply in QC) and a shocking price tag. The best value, of course, is from the trailer with horror-movie monsters airbrushed on the side, parked just outside the pay-to-enter area during Carnival. loving amazing. I moved from QC to Sudbury, ON, and found Smoke's alive and well in that province. Always less after-meal regret than expected when I got the pulled pork poutine.

Is Vancouver Canadian enough for good poutine? Or am I screwed in the PNW?

Avoid Smoke's for poutine in Vancouver. It's not that it's bad, but there's a bunch of local places within a few blocks of it that are better. I think Fritz European Fry House is the best, but there's a few other hole-in-the-wall places nearby that are also good. Dunn's Famous and Phat Deli are a little further away, but do pretty good smoked meat poutine. Unfortunately though, all the good places are small enough that the corona shutdown might have closed a few of them.

I've had Smokes, I've gone to every chip wagon in the city, I've even had the real stuff from a shack in the wood a half hour drive out of montreal, but I'll always have a soft spot for KFC poutine. I don't know what it is about it.

i need to punch posted:Pomme Frites in Greenwich Village in NYC makes awesome poutine. Thinking about that gravy right now... mhmmm.... When I worked at NYU I'd do the Pomme Frites poutine like twice a week, with raw onions, jalapeno and Tabasco, perfect winter lunch. Then they had to go and get blown up by a neighbor's leaking gas pipe and I moved away before they rebuilt. Miss that poutine every day

I have grown up with cheese curds available in basically every grocery store here in upstate NY. Where in the US is it not available, other then California? I had always assumed that if you had any local dairies at all, there would be cheese curds available as well? Anyway, my favorite home made take on poutine is: Heavily season a pork shoulder to taste, cook slow and low in the oven in a deep pan. I like a mild mix of dried/smoked chilis, garlic powder, salt, pepper, celery salt, and coffee grounds. Sometimes I stab that fucker full of holes like it owes me money, then I put whole cloves of garlic into the deep stab wounds. They mellow out a lot after a long cook time. Heat oil and make twice fried french fries. Whatever shape you like. Fry, drain, then fry again until they have dark brown edges. Drain the oven pork pan of drippins, then make gravy from that in a sauce pan. After the gravy is nearly done, shred some of that fallin' apart pork hunk and put in the gravy. However much gravy:meat ratio you like. Serve as fries -> cheese curds (cold out the fridge) -> gravy with meat pieces It is a big fuckin' mess (the namesake of poutine), but no more mess than any other meal where you roast a meat and make gravy and french fries. I think it's worth the effort and clean up. Except for disposing of the frying oil. God what a barbaric home cooking practice. Just go get poutine somewhere. I've tried it with several cuts of beef and I like it better this way with pork when made at home. From a shop, brown/beef gravy is king.

I like the butter chicken poutine from NY Fries. It's not really poutine, but it's good. NY Fries is otherwise an unholy fast food chain. $10+ bucks for a roller hotdog + fries + drink? Get the gently caress outta here.

The ones that use shredded cheese in place of proper curds just look so sad.
