AD Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 So I'm registered in a poutine crawl this Saturday afternoon. Pretty excited.

AD Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I posted this on OttawaFoodiesThis was a great event! Well organized, friendly, for a great cause and delicious. Correct me if I make mistakes, hard to remember everything, but here's the rundown on what was served: Stop 1 - Zaks. Breakfast poutine. Homefries, cheese curds, hollandaise sauce and a sprinkle of paprika. Not really all that good. Tasted fine, but wasn't really a poutine. Stop 2 - Courtyard Restaurant. Thin crispy fries, duck gravy, duck confit, foie gras torchon. Tasted amazing. Was a little disappointed that the foie gras was revealed to be in the dish only after I'd started eating (ethical issues), but this was by far my favourite poutine of the day. Stop 3 - Garlic Corner. Normal poutine. Thin fries, cheese curds, gravy. Average. Didn't register though when compared to the others on the crawl. Stop 4 - Murray Street. No fries, instead spätzle, shredded mariposa duck confit, roast duck gravy, Glengarry “Fen Squeaks†cheese curds. I didn't like the spätzle, but everything else in the dish was super delicious. Beautiful restaurant too, and Chef Mitton explained the origin of the dish and how the restaurant works. Stop 5 - Dunn's. Thin crispy fries, some sort of gravy, small chunks of smoked meat and curds. Very salty. Average. Stop 6 - Island Flava. Thin crispy fries, gravy, curds, and jerk chicken chunks. The jerk chicken made this poutine super delicious. I will definitely have this again. Stop 7 - D’Arcy McGee's. Advertised as a Guinness poutine. I had to leave (who knew eating so much poutine would take longer than expected, hehe) so I didn't try this variety. Paola from C'est Bon Cooking did a great job of leading the tour. Thanks to everyone who put this together. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Sounds like fun AD. Thanks for the summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 how much of this did you have to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 they were small portions - they were asked to provide 3 forkfuls, ended up being about 5 trips to the dish to finish each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 This week's Ottawa XPress has a not-very-favourable review of Smoke's Poutinerie.Prices at Smoke's are expensive for what you get. At nearly $10 for the regular, a greasy dinner here adds up fast. For my money, I'd head to any other casse-croûte or chip truck in the city. Though you may not find as much choice, at least the flavour will be authentically Canadian.She also notesThe music is all hair metal all the time, and includes such gems as Cherry Pie by Warrant and Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffhead77 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Smokes poutine is the worst. Hands down. Do not bother. The gravy is terrible, which in my opinion, if you fuck that up, you're done. I tried it 3 times in order to get a good sampling, and it was equally as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
