\"Grandmas<\/a>My home town, Duluth, Minnesota, is a couple hours from the Canadian border, and heavily dependent upon Canadians for its economy – shopping, medical care, and \u00a0tourism.<\/p>\n

In all the decades I lived there, Canadians were welcome, and even when exchange rates weren’t favorable for the neighbors to the north, Duluth merchants happily accepted the currency at par.<\/p>\n

The one thing the city never did do was feature “Canadian cuisine,” (or beer) but in the past few years, that’s started to change, with a number of restaurant offering the national snack of Canada, poutine, and also a new addition that offers Montreal Smoked Meat<\/a>, another Canadian favorite.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time for long term restaurateur Grandma’s Saloon and Grill <\/a>to add their version of poutine, as an LTO. Sold as an appetizer on the “Northern Comfort” menu<\/a>, Grandma’s takes crispy fries, tops them with deep fried cheddar curds from Kaufhold’s of Ellsworth<\/a>, WI, and adds their house made gravy.<\/p>\n

Grandma’s fries were hot, crispy and seasoned perfectly, the house made gravy perfect. \u00a0A problem? Only slight. \u00a0On most poutine, the cheese melts into the fries and gravy for a depth of flavor. \u00a0Deep fried curds don’t melt!<\/p>\n
