With Big Jones stepping up its game, and Garden & Gun arriving any day in the mailbox, it seems like Low Country's the new something this year. And we're one hundred percent fine with that. Boils, shrimp and grits, baked oysters, black-eyed peas? Yup. It's enough to make us forget that South Carolina has also given us Strom Thurmond, Myrtle Beach, and modern day racism.
We're getting this thing started tonight at Revolution Brewing's Lowcountry Beer Dinner and Shrimp Boil. (Looks like tix are still available.) The menu for this thing looks silly, especially the boil itself: head-on shrimp, house-made andoullie sausage, red skin potatoes, corn, and house-made hot sauce. We expect to get more head tonight than Wilt Chamberlain at Senor Frogs.

Aww mf. I just landed in Toronto and was gonna post my own picture of Poutine. Served cold D, served cold.

Hi guys:
They serve it at The Gage on S. Michigan Ave. It’s a slightly upscale version but I hear it is pretty fucking good.
I know they also have it at SmallBar, which I tried, but that one is disgusting (instead of regular beef gravy they use sausage gravy, the kind that goes with biscuites).

@ D. Good looks on the suggestions. I dont recall seeing it on The Gage’s menu, but I will mos def inquire. Where would you like your vouchers mailed?

The poutine at the Gage has elk ragout and cheese curds.
Fuckin’ delicious, with magical curative properties.

Yes, Gage on S. Michigan has it. I had it there for the first time a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it frequently since. It is ‘upscale,’ but fear not, it’s ridic.

Check it on the menu on their website. I believe it’s Elk Ragout with some cheese curds, but I don’t know where they source those delicious morsels of baby cheeseness from.
That ragout sounds fancy as shit on a gold biscuit but I have a feeling it’s unmistakably poutine without being too douchey.
Also, please mail the vouchers here: Directly to my fat ass.

Hands down, the poutines in Montreal are the best. Have a look at this greasy, decadent and succulent meal from La Banquise, Montreal’s best poutine restaurant.

I’ve been on a poutine kick recently. Glad it’s getting some more love in Chicago.

That’s the traditional poutine but any kind of crap served on fries is also called poutine. I ate a restaurant in Canada that had over 50 kinds of poutine on the menu.
I tried to get it on the menu of a diner I managed but the boss poo-pooed it.
“Ghetto Fries” would also be considered Poutine-

Yes, we are epartaking. Such nice gravy to go with the Poutine. This is more like the one made at home. I can bet – not seen its kind.

The menu changes so scope it out before you go, but Nightwood has one hella good poutine: Duck confit w/ duck fat gravy, homemade cheese curds, and a fried duck egg on top.
Shit is, quite possibly, one of the best things I ate last year…
