Elina ShatkinChef Debbie Lee must like running the Ahn-Joo food truck because she's launching another truck, only this one is Canadian not Korean. Along with partner James MacKinnon, the Food Network regular will debut The Poutine Truck (@thepoutinetruck) this weekend at the Little Tokyo Design Festival.
A mound of fries blanketed with cheese curd and gravy, poutine is actually Québécois in origin but has become Canada's de facto national dish.
The version on The Poutine Truck features Kennebec potatoes, organic cheese curds, generous ladles of gravy and a menu of additional toppings. Lee and Mackinnon claim this “authentic” poutine of a sort previously unavailable in Los Angeles.
In case you can't find the truck, here are five great places to find poutine in LA.
