Her uncle moved there more recently and we have been visiting as adults for over a decade. She has French-Canadian background so some of the food and history have been fun for us to explore. We were just there at the start of the week and had some Poutine at Ruebens.

Not your fault, About.com often is about a lot of things it really isn't. <br /><br />Getting a good plate of Poutine can be hard even in Montreal, a place that is supposedly comes from. The best one we've had was closer to home in Manchester, NH at Chez Vachon.<br /><br />I remember a passable version at the old Montreal Expos stadium and a better version from Dundees on Crescent. I hear the best versions are the late night street cart ones, but it has to be late and the party has to have been good I guess...Classic French-Canadian Poutine uses a peppered chicken gravy, something we learned recently when we looked into a bit. The folks at Chez Vachon also offers beef gravy, pasta sauce and lots of other stuff people might wants on it like bacon, onions, veggies, etc. What they said though is that the classic the most popular.<br /><br />JasonJason Phelpshttp://ancientfirewineblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075592937786867531.post-9864316233668754722011-08-03T22:22:56.487-04:002011-08-03T22:22:56.487-04:00Wish i could travel with you guys and Goober .

We also stayed at a Comfort Inn, in Bergen, but it was much nicer and far away from the highway. I'm happy to know Goober is in very good hands. And what a wonderful time y'all had in Quebec.

Here's the deal with Poutine, it's actually super important where you get it. If you get it from a place that's known for it, it's easy to plow through a whole plate. It all depends. (Can you tell I love poutine).<br /><br />We make a lot of trips to Montreal, but still haven't hit Quebec City yet, it's on the list!Kimmy @ Lighter and Localhttp://www.lighterandlocal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075592937786867531.post-11065514374357572472011-08-02T11:38:38.492-04:002011-08-02T11:38:38.492-04:00Go, Goober!!!Go, Goober!!!Chris and Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075592937786867531.post-88156579249338209322011-08-02T11:29:59.603-04:002011-08-02T11:29:59.603-04:00I love that you called it a "freeway" I ...I love that you called it a "freeway" I guess some habits die hard.
