Fusion Poutine

, , , , , 4

I’ve been meaning to try New York Fries‘ Butter Chicken Poutine for some time now and I got the opportunity at the Bayshore food court, where I was shopping for Christmas present. The Butter Chicken Poutine was introduced to NYF’s line up in 2011, along with the Braised Beef Poutine. As far as I know, NYF was the first to offer it. Whoever thought that mixing Quebec’s national dish with India’s most popular curry is a genius. I ordered a regular size poutine. You know the drill: fries on the bottom, followed by cheese curds. Then, the twist: butter chicken instead of the classic brown gravy. The fries were good, as usual. The cheese curds weren’t squeaking, which is always sad. The key, though, was the butter chicken itself. I was expecting bland, but it wasn’t. The tomato sauce was mildly spicy, with some heat, but not too much. There…

Pop the big question at New York Fries

I got an email from New York Fries, as I tend to get. They wanted me to treat my Valentine to something that doesn’t rhyme with “plowers”. Good, I thought, since I had no intention of buying her any towers this year. I simply cannot afford it.

I was nervous. What if she says no? “Will you eat a hot dog and fries with me?” I asked. “Ooooh yes!” she answered gleefully. So we made our way to a convenient New York Fries location. I suppose we could have tried any of the 200ish locations in Canada. Or tried to find them in South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain or Hong Kong. Or even…

Downing a Double Down

First, it was invented. Next, it crossed the border. Then, it created a political storm. Then, Pretend challengers showed up. Finally, The Waffle got his hands on one. Once I arrived at the Rideau Centre location, I hesitated. Perhaps I should go for a healthier choice, like the Chicken Caesar Salad. Alas, it was sold out. Apparently, it is a very popular item at KFC. Only 190 calories. Only 8 grams of fat. Only 830 mg of sodium. But that’s before the croutons. But again, it was sold out! I had no choice but to go back to the original quest: the Double Down. The breadless sandwich was offered on it’s own for $6.99 – or as part of a trio, with french fries and a pop for $8.99. Scared by the amount of sodium, I ordered the trio – not for the fries and their 770 mg of extra…
