  • Poutine Burger at Grange Kitchen & Bar

    Weeks ago, I wrote about Poutine and how much I loved it.  It was a simple, yet glorious post and it called out one of the most delicious piles of slop I have ever eaten in my entire life.  Recently, I was catching up on my reading over at my other home on the web, AnnArbor.com, and I came across Jessica Webster’s article on the best burgers in Ann Arbor.

    What I saw almost made me shoot projectile tears at the monitor.  That almost sounds like some sort of EMO kid thing. I feel a little weird now.

    A time ago, Grange Kitchen & Bar decided they would begin serving a Poutine Burger.  

    Yes, a Poutine Burger.  A Burger topped with Poutine.  Poutine resting on a burger patty.  Poutine.  Burger.  Just for the record that’s a grilled grass-fed burger, aged cheddar, French Fries and creamy cheese curds in a duck confit gravy.

    Feast your eyes on this beauty:

    Apparently they’re not currently serving this beautiful creation, which brought the projectile tears back out but for a whole new emotion, so I will not be able to try it anytime soon.  Please, Grange Kitchen & Bar.  Bring it back.

    update:

    Grange left me a comment informing me that as long as Poutine is on the menu, this burger is available.  Time to wipe off my computer screen.

    Check out their website.  Really interesting concept and menu.  I’ll be visiting this place very soon.

  • Cheesy Potatoes

    If you’ve been to some sort of party that hasn’t had cheesy potatoes as a food option then I’m not sure what’s going on with the people you know.  Every graduation party, wedding, or other social event should have cheesy potatoes.  If you aren’t a good enough host to have cheesy potatoes, then I’m not going to be a good enough guest to stay.  It’s just… not cool.

    What a lot of people don’t realize is how easy they are to make.  Seriously, 8 bucks and 45 minutes later you have yourself an enormous pile of cheese and potatoes.  Who doesn’t like that combination?

    Ingredients

    • 2 lb. bag of hash browns – Get the diced variety.  The ones that are cut into squares.
    • 1 bag shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 can cream of chicken soup
    • Butter
    • 1/4 of a large, yellow onion, diced.
    • Salt, pepper

    Directions

    • Mix everything together, throw any remaining cheese on top, and bake for 45 mins.  Really difficult.

    Just for the record, I’m not really down with putting Cornflakes on top.  If you want a little texture, throw some breadcrumbs on it.  Don’t be crushing up breakfast cereal and putting it on food.  That’s just weird.

  • Could someone please explain this ad?

    Don’t you wish you still felt this way about spaghetti?  Is that cowboy-cheeseman about to rope and brand this boy like a steer?  What type of hallucinogenics are in this boy’s dinner milk?
