Hey foodies!
With colder weather ahead of us, weâre starting to reach for meals that warm the soulâthink soups, stews, and other hearty, heavy meals that our bodies are craving to keep warm for the winterâarguably some of the best meals a person can ask for when the days get shorter and darker.
This week, that heartwarming meal is the poutine (AKA the holy trinity of perfectly crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and steaming hot gravy). Doubling as both a side to a juicy burger or a full meal of its own, itâs one of the first dishes weâre reaching for at the start of the fall season.
While weâre on the subject of poutine, whatâs the best one youâve ever had? With so many different possibilities out there in terms of fries, gravy, and toppings, what would you add (or vehemently avoid adding) to yours to make it absolutely perfect? Let us know at [email protected]!

WHATâS HOT
Where to find the best poutine in the Tri-Cities
Weâve got nothing but poutine on our minds this week as the start of fall is officially here. Itâs the perfect meal consisting of fries, cheese curds, and gravy that warms both the heart and soul.
With so many versions of the classic poutine out there, itâs impossible to choose one to rule them all. Thatâs why we made a list of the top five (though even choosing five among so many delicious poutines proved to be a challenge, like choosing a favourite child) singling out some of the best the Tri-Cities have to offer. Weâre also curious what the âbestâ might look like for youâis it topped with Cajun chicken? Is it fully veggie? Maybe the fries take a shape thatâs far from classic, like tater tots, sweet potato, or curly!
