    The POUTINA is a poutine made with waffle fries from the Pit Burger Bar at UBC. The combination is AWESOME (smells like dirty shoes though), but the staff working there refuse to serve it unless you get a newbie worker. I was told that they get in trouble for making them.

    This is how the order was inputted into their cash register. The pricing below is from last year, so adjust for HST.
    Maybe with enough awareness and people trying to order it, they'll actually succumb to public pressure. I don't see why they wouldn't, it's business for them after all.

    Why poutina? Because we were with someone named Tina when it was first successfully ordered.

    Tell your friends. Do it. Do it now.

    Where is this now? In UBC?

    Yup, in the SUB (Student Union Building).

    Since they don't let your order the waffle fries poutine, it's too unspectacular to trek out to UBC for. It's mostly boring frozen fare and plain burgers made from frozen patties. Typical campus food.

    The links at urbanspoon are broken though, the AMS seems to change their site every year and all their links get broken. Here's the new one: http://www.ams.ubc.ca/businesses/the-pit-burger-bar/

    Thanks Cheeseshredder. Too bad they cannot serve that. I would drive all the way there in a heart beat if they do! Ben

    come on, guys! order this thing regardless just to try. i think if enough people ask for it on a regular basis, they'll HAVE to put this on the menu.
    (waffles fries have gone up to $3.75, though)
    regular poutine is good, but poutinA is better!

    I think you need to do a call to arms entry to raise awareness :p. A Chowtimes stamp of approval would give the Poutina some major streetcred.

  9. One time, I watched the cashier go from handling cash to sprinkling green onions on a poutine :sick:.
