It was a ooey, gooey mess at Market Square today.
One would could deny the first-ever Poutine Challenge was a smash hit with flavors running the gamut from seafood and cream cheese to turkey and cranberry.
Stephany Peterson of the Hardman group tells CHSJ News the free samples and festive atmosphere were a big draw for Saint Johners, and it’s wonderful the event also coincided with Ste-Jean Baptiste Day, considering that’s the namesake of our fair city.
Grannan’s, York Bistro and Britt’s snagged the top 3 spots in the poutine challenge–but all the creations served during the challenge will be showing up on local restaurant menus until the end of the season. It’s all part of the Canada Day Countdown which features events at Market Square from now until the weekend.
