I am proud to announce that Portland Poutine has published it’s first poutine review (by yours truly!). Heather and I made a special trip to The Original: A Dinerant two weekends ago to try the poutine, and we were not disappointed. Here’s an excerpt from the review:
We arrived on a lazy Sunday afternoon to take advantage of the Original’s every day happy hour (3pm-6pm, until 8pm at the bar). Four bucks for a platter of poutine is a great deal! It was such a great deal we also ordered the scotch egg with mustard, and the pigs in a blanket made with a kobe beef frank and served with cheddar fondue(!).

And below, enjoy a bonus photo of that kobe beef pig in a blanket with cheddar fondue mentioned above.
Whoah, a girl goes across the country for a week and comes back to a redesigned site! Lookin good, Dave!
Thanks devlyn! I’ve been working on it for a while. I’m not entirely happy with every part of this theme, but I’m bending it to my will! 😉
Poutine! YES!!
They make hot dogs out of kobe beef? How much would those be, I wonder? Because four bucks for poutine sounds like a lot, especially since I don’t even see any cheese on it.
XUP – The cheese is in there, at the bottom mostly in one big clump. That’s my only real criticism of it. I thought the price was reasonable – there’s not nearly the critical mass of poutine choices here as in Canada; we have less than 1/2 a dozen places to get it!
The kobe beef pig in a blanket happy our price was $5. They also have a $3 happy hour dog special that changes each day.
The Original is a nice-ish place – it’s connected to a hotel, and is downtown.
