Ever since we let the news out that we were planning to open Frysmith next month, people have been talking about the possibility of poutine on the menu. I think I first saw mention of it when Serious Eats did a write-up about us.
For those of you who have never heard of poutine, it's probably because you've never been to that great land to the north, Canada, where the fries, cheese curd and gravy dish rules! I tweeted a simple query yesterday: Anyone in LA interested in eating poutine (or a poutine-like concoction)? The answer?A definitive, uppercase YES!
All the talk of poutine made me crave it, so we headed out to Dusty's Bistro in nearby Silverlake where they serve it as a side dish (still need to head to Animal which @zhyatt recommended). The massive portion was a bit salty for my taste and the mozzarella cheese curds were melted, but it still had a lot going for it.
Poutine will make it to the menu as a special, but don't expect it to be the classic trio Canadians know and love. E's tinkering with his own variations!
