Friends of the blog Len and Sue, who blog at The Squid’s Nest, send a message from Montreal.
Poutine for @DaveKnowsPDX – we joined the line out the door that apparently is always at La Banquise in Montreal, open 24 hours, serving 25 different kinds of poutine. It did not disappoint.
Poutine [dot] Me reports:
If you’re as big of a fan of poutine as I am, then you are familiar with le festival de la poutine that takes place every year in Drummondville, Quebec. Now folks in Vancouver, BC are doing their own take on it with the Festival de la Poutine de Vancouver.
The poutine festival is taking place on November 19 at Hellenic Community Centre at 4500 Arbutus St in Vancouver. The event includes a poutine crawl, where you get to try various poutine from Vancouver poutineries, poutine cook-off, all you can eat poutine (yum!) and even some live music.
Eater PDX reports today that Vancouver, BC based Vera’s Burger Shack plans to expand to Portland.
Make way for more burgers, folks: The Vancouver, BC-based chain Vera’s Burger Shack, which operates 16 locations in BC (and one in Ottawa), has announced plans to open its first two U.S. expansion locations right here in Portland — with one slated for the Pearl District, providing direct competition to red-hot burger chain Little Big Burger.
The report indicates Vera’s plans to open the first of the new Portland branches in the Fall.
Vera’s online menu promises Poutine, The Quebecqois favourite, so on Twitter I queried if they’d be bringing poutine to Portland.
Of course!!!!
So stay tuned – a Fall review is forthcoming!
