Passed it on my way to appts, and I'm about to pass it on my way back. I only heard of this around a year ago, and I have a theory on where the poutine wave started that's too silly to mention here. But I figure poutine is the cronut of 2015, and hopefully it's the beachhead of a general Canadian invasion (featuring their evil plot to inflict health care and spruce beer on us all!).
