Poutine is one of those dishes that hits every snackable sense right on the nose. So naturally, a festival dedicated to it brings out big flavors and intriguing textures. Poutine Fest, now on its 4th year, brought some great Chicago restaurants to Chop Shop to show off their takes on this perfect drunk food. (Did we mention the beers provided by Breakroom, 5 Rabbit, Metropolis, Temperance, and Horse Thief Hollow? Thanks, guys!)
