Presenting: Portland Poutine

October 18, 2009 by Dave 3 Comments

PortlandPoutine.comFrench fries. Cheese Curds. Gravy. We have much to learn from Canada.

The perfect beer accompaniment and late night stomach filler’s popularity continues to grow in Portland. Just two years ago it was difficult (though not impossible) to find, now numerous restaurants in Portland serve poutine.

I’ve blogged about poutine quite a few times over the past couple years. I’ve come round to thinking poutine has staying power; there’s always room for more choices in the American junk food pantheon. As more and more restaurants in town start offering the dish, I figure the aficionados like myself need a Portland Hamburgers-esque place to share our thoughts, reviews, photos, and enjoyment of the French Canadian delicacy.

So, with the help of Heather of Mile73, I present to you: Portland Poutine.

    I wonder how poutine made its way to Portland and not to so many, many other places in the US and Canada?

    XUP – I’ve wondered that too. There’s a boom in popularity of “ironic” foods right now, and Portland has its share of bacon donuts and such, so poutine here seems like a natural.
