Nine preposterous poutines available at Toronto’s new French fry emporium
Nine preposterous poutines available at Toronto’s new French fry emporium
Earlier this month, Montreal chain Poutineville opened its first Toronto location, at Bloor and Brunswick in the Annex. This place doesn’t just stick to the time-honoured triad of fries, curds and gravy. Instead, plates of fries are piled with things that would make any purist weep: chopped-up hot dogs, deep-fried pickles, whole bone-in lamb chops and, in the case of one particular dish, basically an entire pizza. The real showstopper, though, is a 15-pound behemoth that costs $100 and bears five different kinds of meat. Here are nine of Poutineville’s most outrageous poutines, ranked in order of ridiculousness.

- <strong>3. The Montrealer</strong><br /><br /> Here's a poutine that captures the essence of a smoked-meat sandwich, minus (thankfully) the yellow mustard. That's a deep-fried pickle on top ($12).

- <strong>7. The Hat Trick</strong><br /><br /> A frightful jumble of chopped-up wieners, bacon and ground beef, plus all the regular poutine components. This Montreal specialty isn't a regular dish on the Toronto menu, but diners can recreate it from the craft-your-own-poutine options for $12 (small) or $14 (large).

- <strong>8. The Rocky</strong><br /><br /> Who even needs curds? These fries come topped with Philly steak, caramelized onions and a gloopy blanket of nacho cheese sauce ($12).

- <b>9. The Heart Attack</b><br /><br /> Hard to ignore the health implications of this 15-pound monster. That said, it does hit all the food groups. (Toppings include chicken, bacon, hot dogs, ground beef, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella, onions and green peppers) ($100).

This will be one of the best new restaurants for 2014 as per the Toronto dining scene.
If they put caviar in one then I’m there.

Yum!!!
Out of business in 1 year.
Wow….that’s gluttony at it’s best! Looks better than anything from Smokes, but not as good as Poutinis or Nom Nom Nom.
