Food Travel: Poutine in Quebec

Okay. It's a little creepy that our last post mentioning poutine was almost exactly a year ago. But that was about fancy food, and it's time to talk about the real deal: fries from any restaurant in Quebec, covered with gravy and curd cheese (and occasionally some other toppings, like the meaty Italian sauce seen here).

While Maine has fresh Ocean lobster and Italy has antipasti that fills us long before our meal arrives, it can be hard for a food-loving traveler to go searching out a regional dish that looks like someone's five-year-old son wrote the recipe. But it would be a mistake to pass up this regional delight. Besides, weren't you looking for an excuse to gorge out on French Fries anyway? Er, French-speaking Canadian Fries? We know, we know. There's a difference.
