I had no idea bagels were a thing in Canada. Who knew? ☺️ I’ll be sure to check out Mile End next time I go home to Brooklyn. I had poutine for the first time last year when my Canadian neighbor whipped up a batch to share. Turns out there is a little shop near where I live in Tokyo that serves poutine regularly. It’s yum but definitely too decadent to eat regularly.
ZM, Poutine in Tokyo?! Now that's a story that I'd want to read about! 😄 I have so many questions! Where do they get the cheese curds from? How does the gravy taste? How did poutine come to Tokyo? So. Many. Questions. lol
There is so much good food here. Even for a vegetarian like me. My neighbor made a version of the gravy that I could eat so I can’t speak for the authenticity of the one in the shop. But there is a dairy industry here. Milk from an area called Hokkaido is very popular. I assume that’s where they get curd if it’s locally made. But maybe they import. 🤔Was looking for a stat found it: Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants (226) than any other city in the world. There are a lot of different cuisines from all around the world here. Including more bagel shops than I would have guessed. 🥯😁
Tokyo is on my dream travel list literally just for the food alone! I'm so surprised by the dairy industry there. I feel like dairy is such a Western obsession, it's so crazy to hear there's a booming industry in Japan. Also, can't believe there's bagels there...I guess I learn something new every day! 😅
Japan is worth an extended visit for sure. Just layers upon layers upon layers! Dairy is def a relatively new industry here but they took it and ran with it! I think anyone who enjoys learning about food and eating will love it here.
This makes me think of when my partner and I drove up from the (lower) Northwest to Alaska a few years back. Before that, I thought Oregon and Washington were green....once we made it into BC and the Yukon, well, hence why I now refer to those two states as the "lower" Northwest! : )
And honestly, I realize it wasn't the point, but this does make me want poutine....
oh gosh, I imagine it has a fresher herb garnish or two!
(no offense to its origins, but after living on the east coast and then in portland, I just think the Northwest's rain + growing seasons make for even more amazing seasonal produce offerings)
I went to a wedding in Canada (north of toronto) where they served poutine at the end of the night. It’s in the running for best late-night drunk food, that’s for sure.

Mile End is amazing! I dare say Montreal style bagels 🥯 are my favorite, and Fairmount or St-Viateur are shrines.
I've been to Montreal and never had the bagels! I'm thinking of doing a road trip there this summer and bagels are a must on my food bucket list! 😊

The Northwest is on my list to visit! I wonder what poutine tastes like in BC?! 💗✨
oh gosh, I imagine it has a fresher herb garnish or two!

Mile End is right around the corner from me! I never had their poutine, gotta go back for some artery clogging action.
Florian, you won't be disappointed!

It is definitely perfect drunk food! All that greasy goodness 💗✨.
