It's starting to grow a bit chilly. Let's warm ourselves with another poutine meetup!
I was--quite honestly--just thinking of proposing this. Or another Paddy Long's Bacon Bomb.

Paddy Long's! We should do that too.
On the same day.

Well, I suppose weather this cold calls for that sort of eating. But someone would need to haul me home in a wheelbarrow.

I would love to go, but my schedule is right fucked for the rest of the month.
I have recently heard rumors that Trader Joe's has pouting in a BAG. I'll be investigating further.

To be clear, I am not sure if I could do both on the same night. So my "yes" was to the idea in general, poutine in specific, but also bacon. I am agreeable on this issue.

To also be clear, I was just kidding about doing both on the same night. Although if anybody thinks their arteries are too soft, we can totally talk about it.

Poutine on the Ritz is a stroke of genius. You are an amazing man.
I would love to do this. On a weekend, as I'm out of town most weekdays. I'd prefer poutine, but would come to either one.
What if we got poutine delivered to Paddy Long's? Would the universe implode?

Sundays they do brunch. (BYO Vodka mixers brunch). I believe it's not as poutine focussed as the rest of the week, but I'll check.

Confirmation from BadHappy -- they only offer the Quebeccer on Sundays (standard poutine), not the rest of their poutine menu.

(A menu to illustrate the weekday alternatives to the Quebecer.)
Thursday of next week, then?

I don't even like poutine but I'll probably come to this. I'm considering taking the 19th and 20th off work in a fit of premeditated despondence and rage so I'll really have no excuse.

Hey I'm doing the exact same thing! The part of me that was going to stick around during Xmas since no other full time employees were going to be here has been beaten to death today like it was a birthday piñata.
Hope to see many of you next week!

They have non-poutine dishes, too. I think I got a burger, and sampled some of srboisvert's poutine. Also not a fan.

Apparently I lied. I completely forgot I have a girl scout thing this Thursday.
Meanwhile, this exists and I think it should be the official gif for all alternagoats.

The first is a Wenesday, though! I will be in Chicago! Tiny beers!

Speaking of both adult beverages and slow clocks, I was not planning on going home before this outing but also am not staying here late, so if anybody wants to meet for a pre-poutine cocktail somewhere between the loop and BadHappy, let me know.

So... I'm running late again. Oops. I promise I'm gonna show up but it probably won't be before 7:30.

Poutine takes a long time to eat if I remember correctly, so we will be there no matter what.

You know how as we were walking to the train I was bragging but also mocking how I had just been at Dave and Buster's earlier this week.
Beyoncé had her private release party for her not-secret-anymore album at the Times Square D&B last night.
What I'm saying is that I am a BIG TIME TRENDSETTER.
Great seeing everyone last night.

They do, and it's not bad. The curds actually squeak. I'm sorry I missed this. Is the bacon bomb actually going to happen, because I am interested.
