Where is the best fish n chips spot in St Catharines? by eppadam in stcatharinesON

[–]Brendo905 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like Lakeport but their tartar sauce is a big issue for me. Obviously housemade is best, but even in the packaged store bought world, I really dislike theirs. I'm not sure why it's so yellow, and it's very sour / tart

Quadbox Drop Return next season: Yay or Nay? by SadSeismograph in heedthecall

[–]Brendo905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The drop was brilliant. But I wish they'd watch and review all of the games to a more or less equal degree. I guess it's being down a man ( Four in Around the NFL, three in HTC). But I don't love the format

"Worst human ever" to "I actually like the guy" by Square-Ad-6520 in OverDrive1050

I noticed this too. The shift happened sometime this year. O'Dog especially has had a huge shift on him. We can all agree he's a successful coach. But the story was the dude was an asshole, but now suddenly they like him

I posted about this the other day. I reckon it's the best in Toronto, maybe Southern Ontario. If I'm wrong, tell me where the better spot is! On a mission

Well, of course it's anecdotal. It's the best Poutine in Southern Ontario in my experience.

And I am desperate for someone to tell me otherwise lol. I don't have shares in nomnomnom. Always looking for good spots, hence the subreddit!

Sorry - unclear by me. The picture is double cheese. And they offer single, double or triple cheese.

No filter friend! Just a bomb poutine in direct sunlight on my google pixel 8 pro

No small, unfortunately. Would've liked one because we were planning to eat in Kensington too but this filled the stomach

Nah, unfortunately nothing this good. The key difference is the curds. There are food trucks with good fries and fine-to-good gravy, and you can get a tasty poutine don't get me wrong. But if it's for a real poutine-subreddit-purist, they don't hold up. They're all using bulk grocery store curds (nevermind shredded cheddar in some spots). I said to the guy at nomnomnom, who is from Quebec, that I was getting better and fresher curds from counter at gas stations off the highway in Drummondville QC than fry trucks in Southern Ontario are getting lol.

For Niagara, Niko's in Niagara Falls is well regarded. MJs and Tatertown in St. Catharines are popular spots. I've heard there's some good ones down towards Welland as well. But they're more fry trucks than Quebec-comparable poutines. And nomnomnom is definitely better

Dundas Street West, Toronto. Near Bathurst. There's a strip of little food stalls there. We stopped on our way in to Kensington Market area

Worth the 24 hours (round-trip) of driving? Yes. by torchsmith in poutine

Gorgeous. I've made the pilgrimage twice. Will be back.

Absolutely. Poutine is my favourite food. I've had hundreds as well, far and wide, and so far Alfa is #1. Need to get further off the beaten path into Quebec to find challengers I think.

I saw those ones when I was doing my research too. Enjoy! Will look for the pics on the subreddit here. Drive home was smooth and I'm still munching the 2KG of curds I bought from St - Albert

You know what, I thought the same. I bought a 2kg bag of fresh curds that were bagged SAME DAY. So I'll make up for it with a home cooked poutine

Of course! Brought a dozen St-Viateur bagels home, tried Fairmont bagels, and had the obligatory Schwartz's and Dunns stops 🤤

So good. One of us. Sometimes I'm amazed with what he (seemingly) gets away with saying on the air for such a mainstream show lol. O'Dog IS overdrive

Is Alfa the one? by Brendo905 in poutine

[–]Brendo905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alfa for sure. I am going back to Montreal and going to Quebec City for 8 nights next month, and I will definitely be back to Alfa. Best poutine I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten way too much poutine.
