Uncle Betty's Diner

This review from Wendy in Toronto. Thanks for sending it in!

We went out for brunch to a restaurant called Uncle Betty’s and my son ordered the breakfast poutine. It was delicious. It consisted of home fries, cheese (not curds), sausage, pea meal bacon and 2 eggs any style.

The waiter said if he finished it he could have a homemade donut with ice cream on top. So, we helped him finish off the poutine so he could have his donut--with ice cream, natch!

Poutine Chronicles

Poutine is a mind-boggling combination of french fries, cheese curds and gravy. A Canadian invention, poutine was created in Québec and its popularity has spread across the land. On occasion, if you're lucky, you can find poutine in the U.S.A. Since I live on the Ontario/Québec border, poutine is as ubiquitous at chip stands and restaurants as burgers and hot dogs.

This blog follows the search for the perfect poutine. For waistline and cholesterol reasons, consumption is limited as much as I possibly can. So I'll need your help!

If anyone has had a poutine experience, good or bad, please e-mail me with the name and address of where you tried it and a description (and photo of the poutine if possible). Also, a rating of how good the poutine was out of a possible five curds (for a fantastic one).
