This was their classic poutine, also named Poutine Your Mouth. Since I had never had their poutine before, I wanted to stick with the basics instead of one of their more far out creations.
This was really excellent and some of the best poutine I've had outside of Québec.
At an informal place. #2, which I do not have a picture of, was from Au Pied de Cochon and had foie gras on it. Both were eaten on the same day.

Let's just say it didn't have anything on Schwatrz's (or at least Christian was not bragging about his choice).
i ran into some friends at the mall so we went out for ice cream but it was packed and the flavours weren't very exciting looking, so we went to gilligan's instead and i got a $7 poutine and it was divine.
After a fashion. I had to fight with the cashier to keep the gravy off but just to let you know? Her boss? Would have TOTALLY fired her,okay? Like FIRED her, if she knew I wasn't getting gravy!! OHMAHGAWD!
Sure it sounds dirty. But it's decadent. And every time I see this picture, it gives me a hankering.
Oh, did I mention that Bongo's has poutine? Reminds me of the ones that are abundantly available in Canada! Of course, Maggie had to order one, which we all devoured. It's not the authentic kind with cheese curds -- this one has melted mozza on it, and the fries are a little thin-cut for my tastes -- but it's better than nothing!
Poutine is one of those foods that Canadians crave when they're away from a reliable source for long periods of time. It's the perfect after-bar food, and one of those warm-you-in-your-tummy foods that makes me reminisce of college days, and times when we had fewer responsibilities and worries. Ah, the comforts of hiding away behind a tub of greasy fatty fries! :-)

Patate, sauce brune, fromage qui fait "squik squik": telle est ma quête.
(Poutine: Fries topped with cheese -- usually cheese curds, but in this case shredded cheese -- and gravy) La Paryse, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
We decided to grab dinner at IKEA this evening because we were stopping there anyway to shop. I usually stick with the meatballs or salmon, but when I saw that they were offering their own local variant on poutine, I had to try it.
It was ... better than I was expecting. The meatballs made it needlessly heavy, but overall it was less greasy or salty than this dish is wont to be when prepared badly.

I was craving for a real poutine, but in Manitoba, real poutines are hard to find. Usually they either have too thick of a gravy or most commonly.. they use shredded cheese. I made my own poutine the other day, it turned out really delicious. I cut up some Manitoban grown potatoes for it, McCormick's Poutine sauce and fresh cheese curds from Manitoban cheese company Bothwell Cheese. It was delicious, this is the first poutine I have really enjoyed since being in Quebec. It sure beats eating a "Prairie Poutine"!
MFC made modified poutine catering for my taste (I don't like gravy, especially beefy gravy but he established I am ok with KFC gravy) and more importantly allowing for my failure to source curds locally.
So Vicious Dogs, possibly the bestest place in the -world-, recently started serving poutine. What is that, you ask? Fries, topped with cheese curds, smothered in gravy. BOOYA!
This was one of their first servings of it, and let me tell you - awesome. We had a Canadian on hand to give it the stamp of approval (it originated in Quebec and is mighty popular up North).
It's Canada's national dish, and it's only good if you get it from that most great Canadian institution, a chip wagon. :) (The ketchup is optional, but my favourite part!)
