Because we’re basically surrounded by Canada from all angles, we’ve adopted a few of its customs. Specifically, we’re talking about poutine, a savory concoction made up of fries, cheese curds, and gravy.
You’ll find this dish on a growing number of Michigan menus, many with interesting twists. Some chefs top theirs with a variety of meat. Some add a fried egg on top. Some are meat-free, meaning the gravy is vegetarian. Others use poutine as an addition to something else (like a burger… yummm). We’ve dug up some of the best spots around the state where you can get your poutine craving satisfied.
At Grange, we introduce you to the poutine burger, a one-day special that we hope will make a return to the menu. It's made with grass-fed beef, duck confit gravy, goat cheese curd, and served on a brioche bun.
Everything on the menu here is priced at just few bucks each so you can have your fill of a variety of tiny burgers, plus a savory serving of poutine on the side.
The poutine here comes with white cheddar cheese curds, braised pork, Amber Cream Ale gravy, grilled scallions, and then is topped with an egg sunny-side up.
