  • My American friend and I took a road trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to try and find the best poutine dish. We went to three different places that were recommended to us by our subscribers, and then as a final stop we tried McDonald's poutine to see how it all compared! Along the way we hit some road bumps, and a Karaoke bar, and also delivered a prize pack to our last video's contest winner (who lives in Montreal, and is why we did this trip!) (FYI the contest is over now!)

    This was nuts. On the way there we ran over a muffler in the middle of the highway (not a bumper) but somehow we’re able to continue the trip. So what is your favourite poutine place? Did we get it right? Also we know that we’re pronouncing “Banquise” wrong. Sorry, eh!

      Some truck in front of us on the 401 near Trenton dropped something I ran it over because it was dark out and my car started to shake. Whatever fell out of the truck made it stall and die in front of us. Ended up my tire rim was bent by it. Glad that was it.

    As a Montrealer, I am kind of offended that people suggested La Belle Province for best one. It's only redeeming factor is how it is everywhere in Quebec, so if you are drunk or stoned and want to stuff your face in poutine, La Belle Province got you. But let's not kid yourself, it's trash. To makes it even worse, their cheese is often cold, which just kills it for me.

      @@henrichvonstaufenberg4841 Saying that we have no food culture is a bit excessive. Of course, we do not have as many original meals like they have in France or Mexico, but we do have some specialities (sucre à la crème, chinese paté, fèves au lard, tourtière... ).
      I do agree that poutine is fast food, but more and more restaurants really take it to the next level and offer a whole new experience. Also, if poutine is considered a cultural meal, it's because poutine originated from there. If you want a "real" poutine, you need to at least come to Canada, where we have cheese curds.
      P.S.
      If poutine isn't food, well I don't know if we can say that hamburgers, hot-dogs or even apples are food.

    I'm 9 minutes into the video, and you've already hit all the gold standards that many tourists miss out on. You went to La Banquise, you asked the waiter how to properly pronounce poutine (THANK YOU!), and you got a plain poutine to compare. As a Quebecer, I want to hug you right now. I'm going to finish the video, but this is an A++ effort so far.
    Update: La Belle Province is a good representation of what the average poutine is like. A lot of people who try to make recipe videos don't get it because it's meant to be super greasy and essentially look and taste like heaven for people with hangovers. If it's too classy, it's missing the point. McDonald's poutine is alright. Like you guys said, it's not bad all things considered. But yeah, La Banquise is poutine heaven. I dare anyone to find a better poutine place in the entire world.

I have been to 4 of the 5 and I must say everyone I have been to, I am more than willing to admit, are equal to each other in friendliness, delicious food (I've had several different items from their Benedict Florentine to their Irish Skillet and even their Sherry Car, to their Salads and even Mushroom Burger)as well as a wonderful atmosphere. I would love to eventually try Poutine as I am very culturally open culinary wise as well as just in general. For now that remains a pipe dream however. If you ever come to Florida though, do check out Breakfast Station I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Incredibly brave night of poutinery. While watching I remembered a truly Canadian delicacy only available in our capital city. When I was in Uni I went to Ottawa with my girlfriend (1999?) and her friend took us for PIZZA WITH GRAVY. Yup, it was called Georgies special and wasn’t in the menu. 1am and there was a lineup. Now apparently it’s gone on to be a staple and what they’re famous for. Road trip to Ottawa for Beaver Tails, shawarma and Georgies pizza with gravy! Oh and nice job on Mr. Brightside. Cheers.

      I have found poutine in many countries, but none of them are real poutines because they don't use the real poutine cheese. The law of poutine states that you can change the fries, you can change the sauce, you can add all the condiments you can think of, but you cannot change the cheese. I have never been to Germany, so I don't know the cheese they use. Poutine cheese is hard to find outside Quebec, but it's not too hard to make at home, so you can make poutine easily enough anywhere in the world, as long as you are motivated enough to make it from base ingredients!

    McDonalds is good poutine because the cheese curds and the sauce are pretty authentic. It’s only the frozen fries that changes the dish ... but for $5 and on any main corner in the country you can get a poutine fix. Same as in most Burger King and Wendy’s in Canada.

I started making it with oven baked fries a couple of years ago and it's not all that unhealthy and it tastes awesome. Nothing else goes so well with a beer or a football game. Pizza is close. Hot dogs are close too, but adding hot dogs TO THE POUTINE is the way to go if hot dogs are in play. Damn....now I'm super hungry. If you're out this way again, I'd be happy to serve you a couple of Pete's Poutines fresh out of the oven!
