Fuck this poutine. I just didn't get it.

My fries came in gravy soup..literally. And although I'm usually one for ordering a cup of gravy for myself as something to wash the poutine down with, this was shit. Watery and it tasted like a foot.

But thankfully I love beer and they have so much of it, so horrah!

But fuck their poutine.

I would like to quote a piece from the poutine scriptures:
"If it's ghetto, it's great!"

Seriously. If a restaurant has a bullet hole in the window, a dugged out man outside of the place with a nose bleed, and a body outline on the sidewalk....this probably means that this place is the ruler of everything that is poutine. Fellow fans, you must seek these places out and repeat these words "Parkdale, parkdale, parkdale."

It's as though Bon's has been resurrected and all of my hopes and dreams lay before me on a basket of newspaper. I've been waiting my whole life for this poutine. This is my destiny. You all must find yours here, and go on a spiritual journey with each bite.

Perfection.

A cold glass of beer is poutine's beverage bff.

Good beer. Alright poutine. What i can say about it is that it's big (size matters- always) and the fries aren't bad. Gravy seemed to be missing something (love?) but this is a good joint for poutine if you're fiending. Also, one of the servers may be on speed so that's very entertaining.

King & Bathurst

Burger King

I've been eating poutine here since my youth. I find it's a nice 'go-to' poutine place when your body needs a shitload of salt (more so than the average poutine). I wouldn't consider this a top-notch place, but it's cheap and Burger King has awesome music.

So enjoy this salt box whilst listening to the sounds of  'Puttin' on the Ritz.'

Fucking classy.

Shoeless Joe's

I expected a lot better from this place....I learned my lesson.
Shoeless Joes doesn't exactly scream fine dining.

Poutine with smoked bacon sounds like a good idea, especially if you love to eat anything with a face. However, I kept pushing the tasteless chunks of bacon to the side as I hesitated to eat the rest. YOU NEED good fries and gravy or the poutine is shit. I don't care how 'good' the toppings are. This is what I like to call a poutine cheat. I have not been fooled.

We have not been fooled!

R.I.P. Bon's Submarine (Queen and Spadina)
you are the reason why I love going to dives for poutine. you are missed.


What I thought was merely a lucky rebound since Bon's Submarine closed down, No Bull Burgers has filled the missing void in my heart. Tasty everything!! The cheese curds are a little rubbery (if you like that), I personally will eat any curd that's presented to me. The staff are a couple of cool cats, too!
