    I'm really confused about this place. When I spoke the lady at the register, she said the truck was…read morefrom Chilliwack. But I searched around and couldn't find any mention of it on the internet. When I did a boarder search, I saw the truck at the Calgary Stampede in 2011, but after that it disappeared again. Unfortunately, it was crazy crowded and loud at the Jazz Festival that I couldn't really stop and ask about the business much. While $10 is a slightly steep price to pay for a poutine in a city blessed with La Belle Patate, I thought for what it was (a food truck, catering to a big crowd of festival go-ers at just the right place and time), it certainly hit the spot. The portions were good, the gravy was delicious, and the cheese curds nice and squeeky. I ordered the Quebecor, which comes with maple syrup and thought it was a good taste, but certainly not for those looking for savoury. Apparently all the savoury options that looked appetizing were already swept up by the earlier crowds. The truck is large and well decorated, I love the look it has! The only odd thing about the place is the way the ordering system works. I put in an order at one end of the truck, and get a receipt. But I take this receipt and literally walk two steps to around a corner and hand it to someone at a second window on the side. Mind you, they're all in the same truck, so they're probably right beside each other. This person takes the ticket and makes my order. If the lady at the register didn't turn around and call me to out the food station window to hand over my ticket, I'd probably be standing there a long time... I took half-decent photos on my phone, but there seems to be some better photos of the truck on the yycbesteats website: http://www.yycsbesteats.com/day-5-calgary-stampede-food-review-la-poutinerie/

    Worst poutine I've ever had. Gravy was thick, salty and gross. There were about 3 cheese curds on…read moremy tiny $10 poutine. I ate it because I was hungry and I paid for it, but I had to choke it down and Gordon Ramsy wouldn't even had taken a bite before sending it back.
