What do ice hockey, cheap prescription drugs and Michael Cera have in common? If you said "O Canada!," you're correct!
You can't talk about Canadian food without talking poutine. And while fries with cheese curds and gravy might sound more like the ultimate 2:00 AM drunk-and-starving dish, the quintessentially Québécois junk food is getting the royal treatment by the two guys most heralded for their non-vegetarian fare.
With a moniker that pays tribute to the source of many of its dishes, it's no surprise that Animal's Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook are putting their stamp on the carnivore's delight. Braised, coddled and loved for hours until it falls off the bone, an oxtail appears amid a thick, intensely rich gravy and melted white cheddar cheese in the restaurant's gourmet interpretation of the dish.
We're pretty sure even Canadians will approve of this upscale version. If you're not lucky enough to be in the City of Angels while craving poutine, a number of cities across the US, including Chicago, Seattle and New York, are also dishing it up these days.
