Heading to the Niagara Falls area of Ontario this weekend, looking for a good poutine experience south of Toronto. We are planning on just engorging at Smoke's Poutinerie, but if theres a better off the "grid" poutine spot I would appreciate any suggestions. Trip Advisor, Yelp, and the like were fairly inconclusive in that area. Montreal/Ottawa are off the radar.

For whats its worth, we got hooked on trying some real poutine after having the "poutine" at Disney's Canadian steak house, Le Cellier in Epcot Center in WDW.

Edit: Went to Smokes... nothing special. I would go back if it was close to home. Ended up going to the Smokes in St. Catherines. Wish we would have had more time to eat in the area, seemed like a ton of cool little non-chain spots. Reminded me a bit of Brooklyn.

The other day I noticed I'd been living on the same street as a Sonic for a little over a year. I can't remember for sure the last time I went to Sonic, feels like it was maybe 15 years ago. I didn't even realize there were any in the midwest. What's good there?

I'd love to have a real Chicago deep dish pizza. Around here we have Uno, and it claims to serve authentic Chicago deep dish, but I somehow doubt that because it's only like 1/2 inch deep and the individual pizzas are barely a meal.

Drinks for sure, limeades and cherry limeades rock.

Their chili cheese tots are damn good too.

And I like their burgers, their burgers are very similar to Whataburger, imho, if you like that.

I always see people mention their drinks. We're talking non-alcoholic stuff? Meh. If I'm going to eat fast food calories, I want it to be food.

Hah. I don't mean I want to get drunk, I just mean that I can't really get excited about soda and lemon-aid specials.

You ninja edited that last part in, and I think you even threw it my quote! Typical alcoholic trying to cover up the madness.

Speaking of sonic's and their drink menu. Anyone ever actually order one of those drinks with nerds in it? Who the fuck looked at/sipped that drink and said, "You know what this drink needs? More sugar!"

My kids had pancakes off the dollar menu at McDonalds today. 6 of us ate for about 12$. It was awesome, and the pancakes were pretty good.

Happy hour at Sonic is like 50 cents for a gallon of your favorite flavored sugar water.

If flavored sugar water is the best they can do, color me unimpressed. Dairy Queen has awesome smoothies, Taco Bell has Dr Pepper slush, Wendy's has all natural lemonade. You know, quality calories, not bulk cheap stuff.

There is a drink at Friendly's that has sour patch kids in it. I really want to try it but I don't want to embarrass whoever I'm with by ordering a kid's drink.

I order cotton candy flavored ice cream at Greater's Ice Cream when I go there. Pretty sure I'm the only 30 year old man to ever do it. I'm not scared shit is good.

I ordered a beer at BK when I was in Spain. It was awesome. I also think fast food places are a bit more quality over there in Europe. They have more rules on what can go into food served to humans.

Make your own poutine. It's what I do now that I no longer live in Montreal.

1) Buy a deep frier. Cut your fries "thick" and fry them for about 5 minutes. Drain them and let them sit in a bowl for an hour at room temp. This step is important for getting the right type of fries.
2) Pickup REAL cheese curds at Whole Foods or some specialty cheese shop
3) Either find a good locally sourced brown meat gravy, or order thisCordon Bleu | Poutine Sauce | Canadianfavourites Best Prices for ALL your Cordon Bleu Sauces
4) Finish frying the French fries, lightly salt them, sprinkle with the cheese curds, and smother all of it in hot poutine gravy.

If you want to go totally crazy, add sliced hot dog or even Italian meat sauce..

Delish. Not as good as you'll get in a native gourmet Quebec restaurant, but pretty damn good nonetheless.
