FAQ:

Q: Is poutine that crazy food they eat in Montreal that is french fries and sauce and everything?

A: Yes.

Q: Does eating poutine cause you to have a heart attack?

A: Well, maybe.  If you eat ONLY poutine.  But we are not doctors, so we can't say.

Q: Do you have to be French to eat poutine?

A: Although this is a common misconception, no!  Anyone can eat poutine, from small children to the elderly.

Q: If you can't pronounce it can you still eat it?

A:  Yes!  Although we suggest you cram more fries into your mouth, or call it "that delicious gravy-cheese-potato-stuff, you know, whatsitcalled?" so that no one makes fun of you.

Q: Where is the fest?

A:  The fest will be held February 24th, 2013 at the Haymarket Pub & Brewery.

Q: How much does it cost to get in?

A: VIP tickets (11 a.m. entry to the 12-2 p.m. session or 3 p.m. entry to the 4-6 p.m. session) are $65 each, and include an extra drink ticket and one hour of early admission to the fest.

General admission tickets (12-2 p.m or 4-6 p.m.) are $50 each, which includes drink tickets and a taste of poutine from all of our contending restaurants.

This is a 21+ event. All profits from ticket sales will be donated to charity.

Q: How do I get there?

A: You can drive there, or take the bus.  A cab is a excellent plan, too!  If you live nearby, you could even walk.  We'll get some maps together for you shortly.

Q: How long does it last?

A:  There will be two available entry sessions- one for lunchtime gluttony, and one for dinner gluttony.  They'll both have the same restaurants, too.  Each session will be around 3 hours long.

Q: Is anything besides poutine eating going on there?

A:  Sure there is!  There will be beer drinking.  There will be fun.  There will be voting.  And a bunch of other stuff, too.  We'll announce it here as we go.

Q:  Can my restaurant participate in Poutine Fest?

A:  We're currently all booked for 2013. If your restaurant is interested in participating in 2014, please contact us at poutinefest@gmail.com

Q:  I have a group who wants to attend together, can we do group sales?

A:  Since the response to the event has been overwhelming, we have a much higher demand than we have tickets for the event. The available tickets will be first-come, first-serve when sales are announced and there are no group sales. We highly recommend you act quickly.

Q:  I consider myself a poutine aficionado, how can I be considered to judge Poutine Fest?

A: Unfortunately, we already have a full cast of extremely qualified judges-  born-and-bred Canadians, talented Chefs and local food critics, among others. But everyone at the fest gets to vote for crowd favorite, so really, everyone's a judge!
