If you grew up in Montreal, then chances are you've seen (or eaten) your fair share of deliciously creative poutines, whether it be a French onion soup poutine, a poutine served atop a Beaver Tail or one made with loads of foie gras — the options are endless. But odds are you've never come across a burrata poutine. And if you somehow have, it surely wasn't like this one.
Fifteen restaurants across Calgary are participating in a food festival that sees eateries craft creative and adventurous poutines for the public to try.
La Poutine Week, an annual celebration of the iconic québécois dish, is returning for its 11th edition from February 1 to 14, which means soon Montrealers will have the chance to indulge in some of the cheesiest, most scandalous, unhealthy yet delicious poutines our city has ever known.
True poutine fans know it's not just about trying the biggest or weirdest combinations of fries, cheese curds and gravy, but also about finding the most unexpected places serving the dish. When you crave comfort food, you probably think of a casse-croûte or a greasy spoon, but what if I told you that you could enjoy poutine during a break from blackjack at the Montreal Casino, or between samosas at an Indian fast food joint. The poutine from these places shine in all their greasy glory thanks to unique spins on the provincial dish. So bring your favourite bib, it's about to get messy.
Grand Rapids Poutine Week, a friendly competition among locally owned businesses on Michigan Street (and nearby), is September 15th through October 2, 2022.
