No offence…. But the only place in Canada with good poutine is Quebec.
However… when you’re heading that way I would suggest a meet up at Sonny Chiba’s.

Good poutine can be found on occasion in the west. Was at Art Wells a few years ago, and there was this Québécois couple in a food truck that did them so right. She was ramming spuds through the press and manning the deep fryer, and he managed the perfectly seasoned gravy over the fries, with real cheese curds. And in true Québécois fashion, right in front of his lady, he was propositioning every young lass that stepped up to the window. They couldn’t keep up with the crowd after the evening shows. They had a pulled pork topping option too.
Shit, got a serious craving now. And we hope to catch that festival the next time it’s held. Top marks from the whole family, that festival.
Look…. I grew up in the east but have lived in the west for 20 years… We butcher poutine (and chicken wings out here but that almost needs its own thread)
The shit ass poutine from the airport in Quebec City with the skinned over “brown gravy” blows the doors off any poutine out here, including the québécois places like the one on Main in Van…. And as you you say it’s about the curds… Imported curds are refrigerated and lose the squeak… In Quebec those fuckers are room temp and melt perfectly.
The coast has amazing food of all kinds but poutine (and chicken wings) are not it. If I offended anyone, sorry eh.
Damn. That's a long time.
I'm going on a Canadian hut trip with a couple fellow Americans in January. One of the people on the trip has a DUI from 2008 and a minor in possession charge from 2006. They have been worried about getting into Canada, so they are trying to go through the correct legal channels.
Did you use a lawyer, and which path did you go down to be allowed into Canada?
A dude I know got a OWI back in April 2007. Nothing else since. But can he fly to Calgary this winter to go skiing?
I used paddle with a quebecois who claimed a food truck in Hixon had the real poutine, Pierre said you must have the real cheese curds,
the HBM ski hill bar had 10 kinds of poutine when the manager was a Quebecois gal but I think its lapsed a bit since she left to have kids
I don’t know his circumstances, so can’t say. But he would be doing some gambling to assume he could. If he tries and doesn’t get in, he can be denied for a much longer time. Tell him to do some research on his case. (Conviction, expunged, BAC, etc).
Not something to fuck around with and hope for the best, IMO.
