In Chicago, right across from Millennium Park is a restaurant called The Gage.
It's actually directly across the street, so close that you can see the park reflected in its front door. I had Googled "poutine in Chicago" and The Gage popped up with glowing reviews.
And they were all right! Elk ragout poutine, delicious, creamy gravy making the curds, still squeaky in their freshness, melt a bit, all served over very good fries.
Richard loved it...
...and so did I! A definite, hands down, 5 out of 5 curds. Fantastic!The Gage, 24 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

Open late, 7 days a week. Click on their website: The Gage.

I visited The Gage to taste poutine last October and I really appreciated this restaurant. The service was incredible and so was their poutine!
See a quick evaluation of the poutine at:

Ronna, you look so happy eating that poutine. Glad you found great poutine, in your role as travelling investigative poutine-reporter, in Chicago.
Elk ragout? WOW!! Looks fabulous!
OK, Rouge. This is why you need categories. You can't just lump an elk ragout poutine with some freakin' chip shop up the line.
I think you need a difficulty factor and a performance, like in diving at the Olympics...
Jack is making this altogether too complicated... either you like it or you don't... sometimes the best Poutine is the Poutine at the joint down the road.. but sometimes you just need a bit of elk ragout. I think the ratings should stand just as they are...
