Reading your post, I was afraid that you were going to overlook the most shamefully neglected element to poutine: cheese curds. These are not optional, and I'm sorry to say, cheddar, while it is a fine cheese, is no substitute for curds in poutine. I must regretfully inform your readers that poutine without curds is indeed, not poutine. I'm sure it's tasty, but it's something entirely different!

I also love the fact that you can get it all over Montreal, including at McDonald's! Until I can get there again, I'll just have to settle for boring gravy fries that you can get at the local Hawaiian restaurant.

Its so simple, but so easy to mess up and end up with a plate of soggy fries. Another variation popular in Montreal and Ottawa is to add shaved smoked meat on top (to be consumed only after a long night of drinking).

Until I remembered that y'all are in Syracuse. Doy. Nevertheless, it's nice to see some of the old grad-school haunts get a nod in the blogosphere. I never had this at Empire but am considering a honeymoon in Montreal where I have at the top of my list to sample the real deal :) I was just like, HOLY CRAP, Empire Brewing!!
