An old Toronto streetcar converted into a burger joint.

The lady next to me is awesome. She knows Jeff as our 'Fat Friend' and she always jokes and laughs with us. She also always gives us two forks for our poutine, no matter how many times I tell her I'm not going to share with Shane.

Poutine

I really had a craving for poutine. So, I found cheese curds at the farmers' market, "baked" my own fries and the only downer - packaged gravy. Next time fresh gravy. ;)

I had to try the delightful Canadian dish while I'm over here. Chips, gravy and cheese curds. Yum!

Reasonably good, although with shredded cheese instead of curds...

My second attempt at poutine -- this time with chipotle mayo and gravy. 'Twas good, but still not what I was expecting. Although I'm not sure what I'm really expecting.

fries, braised short rib, jus, cheese, fried egg

With mushrooms and onions. And cheese curds. And gravy.

...but I made a good effort.

Poutine is a typical Québec dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy.

A friend of ours, who is Australian (now Canadian!) living in Montreal, told us to say hi to a friend of hers who owns a poutine restaurant in Munich, after Dave had mentioned the name "Poutinerie" on Facebook. First of all, poutine in Munich is pretty damn unlikely. Second, a friend of ours knows the owner is even less likely.

Anyway, as Canadians (and especially as a French Canadian), I had to say hi and try it. We have been very courteously welcomed by Jochen and had poutine on St-Jean-Baptiste Day! Woohoo!

Funny thing is that when we went, a German lady told me that it is really good, I should try it. I couldn't hold a laugh and said "I know! I grew up with that stuff!". :-D

Vodka adds nothing to poutine yet everywhere around here that series poutine seems to have a vodka option.
