After School Special, Extra Cheese

By Sarah Lazarovic

2004_12_10poutine.gifThings sure have changed since Torontoist was a twee little tyke. Our brand of after school special generally consisted of hazily-lit, low-budget morality plays. With bad acting and worse hair. But nowadays kids get cheeky after school programming, and CBC-sanctioned Poutine eating! Yes, goverment-sponsored grease feasts, in the name of keeping kids amused. ‘The X Poutine Party‘ will curd over Nathan Phillips Square Saturday, as they serve up 700 pounds of trans-fat free poutine in a great big, squeaky round of world record breaking. The gravy goes down at 2pm.

    Shouldn’t such an event be held in Quebec, since the world-famous dish was invented here?

    But Rob such an event was held in Quebec, by none other than Maisonneuve magazine!

    But think about this. The CBC, a government funded broadcaster feeding hundreds of people poutine. I think this will do more for national unity than the Liberal government giving out money to a bunch of ad companies. Don’t you?

    Yes, i have to agree with the national unity bit. Also with the national obesity and maybe heart disease.
    But I’ve been told by a lot of people that poutine fat doesn’t count because it’s so deliciously sinful. I guess I’d have to agree with that too then. :-/

    It’s actually at Dundas Square, not Nathan Phillips. May go by to check it out… free gravy is a rare thing these days.
