Onion gravy, mozzarella curds, crispy roasted potato, confit garlic. $9
The Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant, San Francisco CA
I haven’t had A LOT of poutine in my life, but I’ve had enough to know that this versions was GROSS! Even with all the rich ingredients, this dish was the blandest thing I’ve tasted in a while! Even the confit garlic was flavorless. The meat was dry and tough and the onion gravy was really just onion-flavored oil! And there was A LOT of digusting oil pooled at the bottom of this dish just seeping into the potatoes and everything else. Ugh, it just makes me sick to think about this dish again.
Colorful jeans in The Mission. I think the butt mannequins they use in The Mission are hilarious! And maybe I subconsciously chose this pic for this post because that poutine tasted like ASS. LOL!

You can’t fancy-up poutine unless you top it with something like duck confit (not mixed in though). It’s supposed to be a simple, street dish. I looooove poutine and it angers me when people mess it up. Such a let down!
Yeah, I agree that this restaurant failed. I don’t want it to come off that San Francisco can’t make a decent poutine though. For instance, this was a pretty delicious entry: https://vittlemonster.com/2013/05/03/poutine-citizens-band/
Wow! That’s like no poutine I’ve ever seen.
They tried to be fancy, but were unsuccessful to say the least…
Bahaha. Great post my friend
Thanks, lol!
That last bit made me giggle. =)
Hehe, I do wish the poutine had tasted better! 😉
