Poutine in Seattle?
 

Is there anywhere in Seattle to get good poutine (especially in downtown)?

I've had poutine before (I liked it, but I'm sure it wasn't "good" or at least not fresh, since there was no squeak to the curds). The missus and I both liked it, and there's no place in Houston to get it. If there's anywhere to get it in Seattle, that would be cool.

On a vaguely related note, I remember when I was in Seattle 18 years ago, it seemed like there were a million teriyaki restaurants. I never went to any, but I should have. If they are still around, maybe we'll try one of those too.

First Avenue.

Oh . . .
"poutine!"
. . . never mind.

hahaha
Yeah, I don't want to troll for any of that other stuff.

Skillet Regrade has decent Poutine (and a host of other good fare that I'd recommend more highly than some of the food suggestions you got on the other thread).

As I remember good poutine is a oxymoron. Like "a good wasp sting."

Some lady here in Oklahoma City is from Canada and she opened a bakery, and she has some limited lunch choices. One of my friends posted on Facebook how good it is. One of my other friends explained that is like a good ingrown toenail. ;)

I hope you find some good poutine. Good hunting.

When in Texazzs you eat BBQ, when in Seattle you eat seafood, when in Vancouver you eat Chinese, and when in Victoria you eat Brit, or Pub Fare.. S CA Mexican. NO...Seafood, NE..Lobster..

LV and NYC anything you can imagine...

Would any of the cooking shows have recommended map links?
(there's about a million of 'em)

What?!? Do you like chili-cheese-fries? Poutine is just the Canadian version. What's not to love, fries, some sort of meaty sauce and cheese?

There's a British pub here that makes their own food (it's not from Sysco) and they have "Keema Fries" which is like Indian inspired chili-cheese-fries. Fries, cheese and then Keema on top which is like Indian lamb chili. It's spectacular. I sometimes order it as a meal.

Re teriyaki, I lived in Japan for many years when I was a kid. My mom used to make it for us. I haven't had any in many years. It's more about curiosity and nostalgia. I won't go out of my way to have any, but if we bump into a place that looks good and we are ready for lunch or a snack...

I will absolutely be going to Sushi Kashiba while I'm there. That should be really great seafood.

We will probably have either dinner 3x and lunch 2x or maybe dinner 2x and lunch 1x while we are in Seattle (the rest of the time eating in Redmond and Cle Elum).

Vons Gastropub. Amazing poutine, and house made sourdough noodles for an amazing amc and cheese.

Also.... if you like Jamaican food, try this place.

Sourdough noodles sounds great. I’ve had poutine, not a fan. I can’t imagine why Seattle poutine would be anything special.

When I was in Calgary about a month back, my cousins told me about it and my wife and I really wanted to give it a try but didn't get a chance to do so. Now, you must report back Steve. We had gravy with fries 25 years ago in a small restaurant in Hope as we were driving through onto Calgary in the dead middle of winter. It was so dang good. We don't eat fries like that so it sounded weird.

I love poutine. For me it is the perfect food: carbs, dairy/protein and fat in one lovely steaming pile. But if you're expecting the cheese curds to squeak in poutine the gravy is cold. The cheese melts in poutine, from the heat of the freshly cooked fries and the hot gravy: it will be stringy, not squeaky. Cold cheese curds are squeaky, not in poutine. As a matter of fact, I believe the cheese is to be placed on the fries first then covered with hot gravy. If it tastes good to you, it is good poutine. But what do I know... Eh? LOL

NY Fries is doing some weird things with 'Poutine', including bacon bits, onion, sour cream, and my son got an order that didn't even have gravy. THAT is sacrilegious!!

Poutine is a Canadian thing. I live in Houston. There is no poutine here. I was assuming that due to proximity, that there may be some decent poutine there.

I like really good, fancy food. I also like simple, peasant-style food. Frankly, I haven't met much food that I don't like. I had some poutine in a pub in San Fran that was quite tasty, but I have no idea how much it would be like the stuff that you'd get in Canada.

OK, I thought I'd remembered reading somewhere that there was some nickname or slang that incorporated "squeak" because when you chewed through the curds, if they were fresh, they would squeak, but maybe I'm wrong.

seriously, piss off, ptfo. this thread is about poutine. don't care for it? no problem gtf over to the thread 'wtfhdlp'.

apparently, you have never experienced a poutine n pussy date. Numnumnumnum. chicks dig guys that drink real beer n like poutine.

PO, if anyone has it on the west coast, Seattle would come to mind. Good people as far as I'm concerned.

More likely to get poo-in-a-tin in Seattle, but gl with the search.

I saw a duck confit poutine on Diners, Drive-Ins and Drives one time I think I'd give my left nut for.

I think it came from Quebec?

Always good to get a health tip from a practitioner of the healing arts.:p

That looks very tasty.

You are not wrong. The "squeak" is a feature of good cheese curds, but maybe between the heat and the lubrication from the gravy they don't squeak in poutine. If you find poutine, you might also look for butter tarts - and an ER with a good heart unit. :D

My list of favorite Canadian foods:
Butter tarts
Peameal Bacon
Poutine (way down the list)

Obviously I'm wrong, but I thought poutine was french fries covered in sauce or gravy. I know I've seen that in Michigan and Illinois (never been to WI).

with cheese curds.

we discovered it in Montreal and tried it at several places.

it was fun to eat but if I'm being honest I prefer a good chili cheese fry OR even better is crabby fries which are fries covered in crab imperial type stuff. MMMMMMMMM good!!!!

I thought chili cheese fries WAS a meal! :D

Wife saw poutine on the food channel and now is all hot to try it... looks interesting but much like chili cheese fries I wouldn't go out of my way to get some.

fify

Absolutely!

Until just a few years ago, you probably would have struggled to find poutine in Seattle. Which is odd, considering we have a cheese company in the public market that is famous for fresh cheese curds.

Apparently it is. I took a couple of teenagers to Skyine and all they wanted was cheese fries with Skyline chili on them.
I tried them - I'm not a fan.

I've never had skyline chili at Skyline. I've had it out of a can. I'm not sure that it's the best chili for chili cheese fries. I think it might be a tad on the thin side for that. I understand that in Cincinnati the chili is usually over spaghetti, right, at least, at places like Skyline and it's other big competitor?

The best chili cheese fries (to me) will have some sort of shredded cheese on good hot fries and then have some chili poured over the top (heat from the fries and chili will melt the cheese). It's not as good with the chili on the fries and the cheese on the chili, and it's definitely not good with cheese sauce as opposed to shredded cheese.

Goldstar is the big competitor. It's not as good. Skyline is served over spaghetti noodles with some chopped onion and shredded cheese on top. I don't know why they call it chili.
The sauce by itself is awful, and pouring it on frenchfries sounds and is just as awful.

That's it, I was pretty sure "gold" was in the name.

This is how I understand it works.

2 Way Chili - Chili over spaghetti
3 Way Chili - Chili over Spaghetti with lots of grated Cheese
4 Way Chili - 3 Way plus chopped onions
5 Way Chili - 4 Way add Kidney Beans

As a western Canadian, I typically obstinate from anything “good” that comes out of Quebec except Maple Syrup, and I thought Poutine sounded stupid until I tired some, good solid comfort food. And like any good dish, you are always on the hunt for the best xxxx.

Good luck in your hunt

Not sure but it looked it up on yelp and there is a place on 2nd street (Belmont Shores) that has it and claims to have been on DDR. It is now on my bucket list, I had planed on going there Monday for lunch but wife wants to go to the county fair so I guess it is deep fried pineapple and hotdogs instead.

That sounds REALLY odd, but I can see how it would be tasty.

Yep. I have a small 4-way onion for lunch at least once a week. They greet you at the door and are supposed to ask how you are. I've replied, "hungry" so many times that it's now, "How are you today Patrick?" and everyone in the place says, "Hungry!"
