Vendors are offering everything from classic fries, cheese curds and gravy to brisket and jerk chicken poutine<\/p>\n
Saultites enjoyed fries, poutine and cheese curds \u2013 along with many other delicious combinations \u2013 at the annual Poutine Feast, running at the Downtown Plaza this week.<\/p>\n
Business was brisk on Thursday as five different poutine vendors served the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe come\u00a0every year,\u201d said customer Emma Hotchkiss, who stopped by with\u00a0her mother Patricia Montesi.<\/p>\n
They each enjoyed an order of deep-fried cheese curd poutine from The Tragically Chip Wagon.<\/p>\n
The dish included deep-fried mozzarella sticks with cheese and gravy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love poutine. The cheese is my favourite part of it,\u201d Hotchkiss said.<\/p>\n
Vendors at this year’s Poutine Feast include Dude Bro Potato Co., Groovy Gravy, Smokin\u2019 Carnivore, The Tragically Chip Wagon and Fat Les\u2019s Chip Stand.<\/p>\n
Each of the vendors come from Ottawa except for Groovy Gravy, which came from Belleville.<\/p>\n
Though poutine typically consists of French fries covered in cheese curds and gravy, vendors show a great deal of imagination in what they offer customers.<\/p>\n
The Tragically Chip Wagon, for example, also sells General Tao Chicken, Hot Honey Chicken, and Chili and Cheese poutine along with many other\u00a0combinations.<\/p>\n
Smokin\u2019 Carnivore sells Smoked Brisket, Smoked Pulled Pork, Jerk Chicken and Smoke House Sausage Stack poutine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re the only food truck here that smokes our meat. We’re the only truck here that has brisket. We smoke the pulled pork for a lot of the other trucks,\u201d said Arianna Needham of Smokin\u2019 Carnivore.<\/p>\n
Other vendors at Poutine Feast are selling cool drinks, miniature doughnuts and leather goods.<\/p>\n
Poutine vendors travel across Ontario to attend events from late spring to early fall.<\/p>\n
Poutine Feast was first held in the Sault in 2018.<\/p>\n
Live entertainment was provided by The Hustle Brothers at The Downtown Plaza on Thursday.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Poutine Feast began Wednesday and continues until Sunday, running from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
