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).
