text: Talking about Smokes in a Montreal context is weirdnnEverywhere else in Canada Smokes is more or less the only game in town when it comes to poutine What they mostly offer is a kind of stunt poutine that you can also find in the wilder sections of La Banquises menu but in massive roidedout form Theirs are nothing like the poutines you get at chipstands and most other greasy spoons in Quebec which are a lot more minimalistic in their construction fries cheese curds gravy period Almost every item on Smokes menu will challenge your stomach to an epic wrestling match with the sheer volume of stuff they put in itnnObviously there is trad poutine on the menu but there are literally hundreds of other places you can get decenttotranscendent trad poutine in the city Smokes is not one of them However if you are in the mood for some laughinthefaceofdeath hotrodded stunt poutine go nuts Their triple pork poutine is arteryclogging goodness at it is finestnnSo get a tenner and laugh in the face of God for a spell while an awesome soundtrack of s detritus plays on the PA Good times
