My Christmas Gift to Culvers

This weekend we travelled back to Canada for a family pre-Christmas party.

Whenever we make the trip we always have three "to-dos". We visit Swiss Chalet (a franchise that specializes in roasted chicken). We visit Tim Horton's (Canada's most famous coffee and donut chain) and finally we try to drop in at Harvey's (a burger chain that features my favorite hamburger in the entire world.)

Yes - our lives revolve around food.

One of the menu items at Harvey's is Poutine - an unfamiliar (to Americans) but delicious mixture of french fries, cheese curds and beef gravy.

As soon as I saw it on the menu, the idea struck me.

This would be a perfect menu addition to Wisconsin's favorite local food chain - Culvers. Think of it. Culvers originated in the heart of cheese country. We love our Green Bay Packers.

Introducing Packer Poutine. Mmmmmm.

I think it's time Wisconsin adopted this delicious treat and made it it's own. Philly has cheese steak sandwiches. Chicago has deep dish pizzas. We have beer and brats. But we need a great side dish.

By the way, in case you don't know, this dish isn't heart or diet friendly - which makes is soooo good.

C'mon Culvers. Let's introduce Packer Poutine before the playoffs!
