Do you know what this is? It’s poutine. Do you know what poutine is? It’s french fries with gravy and cheese curds. It’s Canadian. Apparently Celine Dion loves it.
Anyway, last week my friend Kyle and I kind of had a disaster of a night. And by disaster I mean we tried to go to this new place called The Meatball Shop, which is really not a shop. I imagined ordering at a counter and sitting on some stools facing out the windows. Oh, no. The Meatball Shop is a restaurant. With an hour and a half wait for two people on a Tuesday night. It’s true. So we did not go there.
We got a six pack and headed a block away to T poutine, a place I had seen a thousand times on my Lower East Side adventures.
Anyway. It’s kind of strange. I’m down with the gravy but not sure if I’m down with the curds. My friend Kelly tells me I should give it another shot at Pommes Frites. And don’t worry, Meatball Shop, we’ll be back.
love them and what some now, i think i told u this somewhere else but in Canada i have had them at McD’s even
I grew up vacationing in Canada, and normally had this as an afternoon snack down at the only restaurant in town. However, if I remember correctly, the cheese wasn’t as curdy and a bit more melted. Maybe that would appeal to you more?
good to see this
