Established for 22 years in California, Luc Alarie, from Val-d'Or, is showing people of Los Angeles our poutine. He noticed a significant increase in demand after the Olympic Games in Vancouver, where there have been reports on this meal.
On the menu, there are a dozen kinds, from the traditional one with the spaghetti sauce or pepper sauce.
In business for 10 years, the restaurant Soleil offers poutine since its debut. But the establishment is well known for French cuisine.
Last week, he launched other kinds and less conservative poutines: Poutine Mussels with White Wine Sauce, Poutine merguez and harissa, and also the foie gras poutine, inspired by the restaurant Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal.
In the menu of his restaurant, they put a picture that shows a fork that raises the fries, gravy and cheese curds, which stretches into the dish. He said he wanted to show people how to eat poutine, because when the plate arrived, customers do not know how to eat.
The poutine and Labatt, Molson and Unibroue beers keep alive its links with the Province.
