What is Poutine (Pooh-teen)? If you haven’t had the Canadian culinary treasure, you are missing out! The dish originally got its start as a working-class meal back in the 1950’s in Quebec. The Canadian comfort food has now become a trend around the world in some hippest restaurants, as well as a post-mountain après snack. Traditionally, it features a base of crispy french fries, normally fried in duck fat, then smothered in thick brown gravy and cheese curds. Nowadays, chefs are going beyond the traditional preparation, and are elevating the dish with everything from filet mignon to foie gras. We are lucky to have some places in Park City serving up this delicious treat, so get some!
