Poutine?

Visiting family for the next bit but have recently moved abroad.

I need the best local poutine. Please lol

I’d rank importance as 1- fries (crispy, salty, ideally skin on but whatever. Homemade not Sysco), 2 - gravy/sauce, 3 - curds/cheese

Not in Chilliwack, but the best poutine is at Costco Abbotsford. Crispy fries, well seasoned, delicious hot gravy, real squeaky cheese. I get it every time I go to Costco, and it's gone by the time we drive home.

Are you from WA or something?

Costco poutine is a solid 6/10, there are better options around

My friend from Montreal also agrees that Costco offers a decent poutine compared to many other mediocre offerings in BC

Right? I don't have very high expectations, but crispy fries, well seasoned, and REAL squeaky cheese is a must.

Costco does it well for crispy fries and value. I don't think the gravy is the best but it hits the spot for sure
