    Thank you Canada for Arc'Teryx and Poutine!  You guys can keep your Roots though :P

    Poutine has given me a whole new view of life when it comes to french fries.  How can you not love french fries topped with cheese curds and hot gravy?!?!?!  Maybe add some bacon and butter chicken?  Yes, NY Fries does that to!  

    Poutine Truck?

    Did you know there is a 'Proper Way to Eat Poutine"?

    This according to my very wise daughter, the Queen of Poutine.  Here is a quick summation:

    1.  With your fingers eat any un-gravied, un-curded fries that stick out from the edges of the bowl.   This ensures the correct amount of gravy and curds for the balance of the dish.  It also gives the dish time to 'breathe' or in this case: 'melt'.  The curds need to soften some and if the gravy is too hot, you will burn your mouth and kill your tastebuds.

    2.  Proceed to eat the rest of the dish as combined forkfuls of curds, fries, and gravy.  

    New York Fries provides some of the best local (if you're a Canuck) poutine for you to practice your technique.

    They recently rolled out the butter chicken poutine and the braised beef poutine to their roster. These are decent but i'd stick to their classic poutine (add their california seasoning to dip in yummmm) or their "works" fries. Yum. Sorta $$$ for what you're getting, but throw in your SPC card and you get one free with the purchase of a drink!! That's more like it!

    With its distinctive black and white checked packaging, New York Fries has long established itself as a necessary component to any place that could deign to call itself a food court. As much as people try to resist it, their dark gravy and "fresh" toppings have everyone clamouring for more.

    Other than their classic fries, they serve poutine (Quebec's famed contribution to Canadian cuisine--some even refer to it as a "delicacy" or sorts), veggie topped-fries (tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and green onions) and the "works" (pretty much the same thing as the veggie but with bacon).

    Hearty, grease-filled, salty... it's sure to sate any fast-food craving.

    Making poutine since 1989. Its in the mall! This just reminds me of Robyn from HIMYM... Cheese curds, brown gravy, and fried potato slices...who thought that'd be good? As far as my expectations they aren't amazing like I thought they'd be. But I prefer white to brown gravy. The only thing that throws me is the name. You can't be like "maple leaf fries" or Canadian fries? Guess that doesnt' sound as good.

    LOL @ this being called "New York Fries" and serving poutine.  The fries are good.  Nice and crisp and not too heavy.  I decided I had to get poutine even though the picture only showed fries in gravy with a few cheese curds sprinkled here and there.  But when I ordered it it was absolutely packed with those gooey things.  Yummy!  Too bad I didn't have room for lunch afterwards. :mad face:
