POUTINE

Fries. Curds. Gravy. Glory.

The Holy Trinity

Fries

Crisp outside, fluffy inside. The foundation everything else is built on.

Cheese Curds

Fresh, squeaky, never shredded. If it doesn't squeak, it isn't poutine.

Gravy

Hot enough to melt the curds just a little, never enough to drown the fries.

The Gallery of Glory

"A dish so perfect it needed no improvement since 1950s rural Québec."

The Commandments

  1. Thou shalt use fresh curds, never shredded cheese.
  2. Thou shalt serve the gravy hot, on top, always.
  3. Thou shalt eat it immediately, before the squeak fades.
  4. Thou shalt not apologize for a second helping.
