Poutine is the provincial dish of Quebec. It consists of french fries doused with brown gravy and sprinkled with cheese curds (not grated cheese). It’s junk food kicked up a notch or two. Today we have invented a variation: Greek poutine.
We were at the Greenwood Car Show today and got hungry. We dove into Yanni’s, a Greek restaurant on Greenwood Avenue near the southern end of the car show. We ordered sandwiches (pork gyro, lamb burger) that came with Greek fries. These were fries festooned with feta and an herb mix of fresh parsley, thyme, and oregano. Julian said, “These look like the Greek version of poutine.” My reply was that it required tzatziki as the sauce. Opa! A dish is born. Note to Yanni’s: We will waive royalties should you choose to put this item on your menu. You’re welcome.
