Yes... If I'm going to eat it only once... it has to be right. I wonder if they have a restaurant that sells it in Massachusetts.

Is Cape Cod in Massachusetts? Lots of Pepsis go there. Bound to be poutine available all over the place.

People from the Cape like to think themselves as separate from Massachusetts... but Cape Cod is indeed in Mass. Poutine all over Cape Cod... I highly doubt that. I'll find it somewhere.

The Quebecois used to vacation on the Cape a lot. Must be some place around there where they hang out.

SHOOT! There was a place called Montreal Fries in the town were my sister lived. I drove by it a million times but never knew it was a Poutine place! It is closed down now.



The search goes on...

....Kendell Lakin, 15, of Acton, burned her face after having an epileptic seizure at KFC and falling into her poutine...Her irate father told the Sun Monday he’s not after a multi-million dollar lawsuit, he just wants to speak out to warn others and perhaps get the Colonel to turn the temperature down on the cheese and gravy.....

Going back to the O.P. .....I believe this whole unfortunate
incident could have been avoided with a simple six point
restraint system (similar to Formula One) mandatory in
all Fast Food Restaurant seating, and a set of water-wings,
and a helmet.

You can't forget the helmet and the safety goggles. You just
can't forget the safety goggles and the ear plugs. You absolutely
just can't skip on the ear plugs & the steel toed footwear. Yeah...
and a life jacket, in safety orange....for visibility...with those reflective
green stripes.

The water-wings wouldn't prevent the burning from the cheese
and gravy, or even potential Poutine drowning, but you can
never be to careful.

I am saddened by your lack of caring and understanding on this Ron.... All of the equipment that you listed is all well and fine, but it ain't truly safe until there is a supervisor from OH&S in attendance along with 2 or 3 personnel from United Safety to participate.


Safety first! :):):)

... And second, and third and on and on...

This is all getting very complicated for eating poutine at KFC.

They don't even make decent french fries, let alone decent poutine. Wouldn't it be easier to maybe not eat there?

Everyone knows that poutine is deadly. This is just another way for it to kill.

For Spaminator - poutine is a murderous concoction consisting of French fries covered with lumps of cheese and then covered with gravy. If you want a heart attack this is a quick way to get one. It was reportedly invented in Quebec as an apology for maple syrup. Interestingly it has now made its way to a few of the northern US states. Like, Americans don't have enough artery-hardening food, they have to import it from Canada.

But it has to be hot. Luke warm Poutine is slop.

I'd suggest that people simply be warned that hot foods can burn. People that have epilepsy and may be in danger of burning themselves should automatically be given food slightly higher than 140 F. Warm cheese is disgusting but when it is hot, it is sticky and does not cool down very quickly.
Back when I worked at Boston Pizza, I was munching on pizza and took a bite out of the first piece. When I pulled the bitten piece away, the cheese stuck to my teeth or something and the entire wad of toppings flopped down off the crust and landed on my chin. But my reaction time was quick and I only had a slight red patch for a day or two. In spite of that, however, I don`t need any nanny state mollycoddling me. I`m just more careful about eating things with hot cheese on them.
At 165 F. one`s skin begins 3rd-degree burn within 1 second; at 155 F., at one second; at 150 F., at 2 seconds; and at 140 F., in 5 seconds. Raw and cooked food is bacteriologically unsafe between 40 F. and 140 F.

Wow another Captain America. First he gives his kid one of the deadliest meals
there is. He knows what her medical problems are yet he puts this piping hot
dish in front of her, in harms way as it were.
After making enough mistakes he blames KFC for cooking hot things hot. What
the hell is he thinking or is he. How would you melt the lumps of cheese if it were
not for hot fries and gravy? If he didn't look after his special needs daughter
better than that, maybe child services should be called in. (Yes that was over the
top) but it illustrates just how ridiculous this guy is.

Grumpy, I guess you missed this part of the article:
"Customers in the restaurant rushed to her aid, pulling her out of the Canadian classic dish. Someone inside the restaurant called 911 and her family.
Lakin got to the eatery a short time later and while paramedics were tending to his daughter, her chin started to blister and her neck appeared red and burned. She went to the hospital and was treated for second-degree burns."
