that just looks like spicy potatoes. so gross.

it needs loads of cheese and a heavy gravy.

a veritable stew of cheese and gravy, if you will.

Hearty beef stew gross

Veritable cheese and gravy stew ok

You and presto should go eat pesto together or something.

Bravas sauce would be revered in Italy if the spaniards didn't beat you to inventing it. It's evoo, tomato paste and deliciousness.

ah the sauce looks delish but why waste it on fucking potatoes.

Not gonna lie, I made a fucking incredible beef and lamb stew last week. Was incredible.

Thought about Zeke for a moment while making it too. Fuck that guy.

If you properly double fry your fries, and use a real beef gravy and actual cheese curds, you can challenge good bravas. If you're throwing packaged beef gravy with a handful of bagged shredded cheese on fries that only say the fryer once, just stop.

Exactly. Not poutine’s fault that most fast food chains, mom and pop schwarma joints, and thousands of greasy spoons looked at their deep fryers, thinking “hmm I see an opportunity to make extra money here”

The perfect roasty, crispy vessels to carry the sauce.

presto alternative is obviously filet mignon drenched in beluga caviar and grey poupon

Also 1000% agree on the versatility bit. Decent poutine is fine after the bar. But Bravas are basically any time. A breakfast side? Sure. mid afternoon snack? Sign me up. Part of dinner? Sure, absolutely. After the bar? Fucking outstanding.

Try eating poutine for breakfast and not dying inside at least a little bit.

Hey hey I don't like fancy shit that much. Personally I prefer a lovely chicken hearts and gizzards type of dish over poutine. If that makes me a snob then so be it!

I simply find poutine vile. Granted I've never had a good one. I'm sure some can pull it off, but it's not a good sign when most places don't!

Bravas are a grown up, refined version of poutine, yeah.

fwiw, I'm not even joking

Chicken Butts Make the Best Skewers

London's Jidori restaurant serves the ancient Japanese cuisine of yakitori, chicken poked onto wooden sticks and set over hot coals. “We use every part of the chicken. The liver, the heart, the bum,” says owner Brett Redman.

Potatoes with a savory sauce has no relation to poutine whatsoever, grown up or otherwise.

 

[CH1]

[MindzEye]

It's on my list for when I go. Hoping to do cherry blossom next spring.

Now he's a fucking potato expert.

 

[CH1]

If he’s not tasting potato while eating poutine, we can’t help him

 

[Volcanologist]

zeke what about sweet potato

 

[manny]

Nobody can knock poutine until they’ve eaten the double-fried squeaky curd version from a Gatineau pataterie.
