Festival de la Poutine de Vancouver

October 30th, 2011 · No Comments

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.

Damn, already sold out!

From Pemmican to Poutine: A Journey Through Canada's Culinary History

French fries. Cheese curds. Gravy.

Poutine is now available as a regular menu item at a handful of restaurants in Portland, Oregon - in particular Lincoln, The Original Dinerant, and of course Potato Champion, and it makes an appearance occasionally at other restaurants - notably Clyde Common.

This blog aims to review poutines throughout the city, and spotlight the best. We'll also review menu items that I like to call poutinesque. Think C Bar's S.E. Poutin, Dot's Jalapeño-cheddar Fries, Kenny and Zuke's pastrami fries, or Oaks Bottom Pub's Totchos. All, in some ways, like poutine, but lacking or substituting a key ingredient (sadly, usually gravy).
