Auuugh!! I knew that would catch you. Actually the chef was from Louisiana...he defected to Texas.
Doesn't matter.

That ain't your routine poutine.
Best to remember that poutine is actually a Quebecois food. So Canadian, yes, but regional/cultural. Kind of like that old Pace Picante Sauce commercial where they make fun of salsa made in New York City, the best stuff tends to come from people with the cultural background to really understand it and "do it right".
Canadian cuisine is a lot like American cuisine ... mostly imports. And regional specialties.
I think people forget that Canada, like the US, is a country of immigrants. That leads to great culinary diversity, IMO.

Would you say Montreal is the poutine capital?
I would say it is, since Monreal is the cultural center of everything Québécois
It started out as a more rural thing but it is certainly well represented in Montreal.
Not the way "Naples = pizza" in Italy, but you certainly get a better shot at getting the best food joints in the big city.
... you can also get it with Montreal smoked meat ...
Where in the world did you find that box of poutine? If it is the Greater Vancouver area I will deffo go there this weekend!
Well, if you ever find yourself between Clinton and 100 Mile, be sure to stop at the Sugar Shack.
I was really hoping it would turn out to be closer to Vancouver!
Sounds like cheesy chips with gravy on
Looks tasty, especially with the meat topping.
Quebecois casse-croutes (snack bars) run the gamut from the most awful garbage sorts of fast foods to excellent little diners. If you want an excellent homemade poutine, try the Resto Casse Croute St. Jovite, on the Rue de St. Jovite, in the town of the same name, about an hours drive or so north of Montreal, west end of town, south end of the street. Great rondeles des oignons, (onion rings) too!
