My first guest blogger, Jason, visited the Pataterie Hulloise just over the bridge in Quebec. He promises to keep Poutine Scene updated while on the road this summer. And for the record, he referred to this poutine experience as "poutine baselining" before he leaves the Ottawa-Gatineau region... and that's my kind of poutine guest blogger.
Pataterie Hulloise: Classic Poutine After-Dark
Since 1982, Hull's been serving up the good stuff at 303 Saint-Joseph Blvd. This is the classic brown sauce 'bold' poutine; tonnes of squishy curds, well-balanced sauce, and great homemade fries. I'm not sure how many potatoes the fine folks at the Pataterie go through but every time I'm in there, someone's peeling more. It's that kind of poutine that leaves your stomach all comfy and saying, "just a little more, you can do it".Great for late night cravings while out and about. They make poutine the right way; they build it up in layers. Good base of fries, generous scoops of curds, then comes the sauce... and then, they do it all again (and depending on the size... again). No 'unhappy endings' in these poutines; lots of cheese all the way to the last bite. You can get extra cheese or sauce but I've never needed to. .
Noticed tonight there are different sauces; classic, BBQ, white... I've always gone classic. I'll have to try the others now that I know.One of the capital region's favourite poutines. If you haven't done it... do it. MMMmmmmmm.
The portions are excellent bang for the buck.
