About PA Poutine Fest

This year’s PA Poutine Fest brought together 11 restaurants and hundreds of community members, resulting in 2,219 poutines sold and $8,876 raised for Big Brothers Big Sisters!

For ten days, local kitchens became friendly competitors—serving up creative poutine features while rallying their customers around a shared goal: supporting young people in need of mentors. “Events like this show how powerful local businesses can be when they come together,” said Natasha Thomson, BBBS Development Coordinator, “Every single poutine sold helps connect a young person with a mentor and a stronger future.”

All of the eleven participating restaurants worked hard to dish up poutine for the cause but two won the BBBS Poutine Titles:

Gravy Bowl Champion (Most Poutines Sold):
Montana’s BBQ & Bar who sold 391 Pulled Pork Poutines

People’s Choice Award (Most Social Media Votes):
Original Joe’s who had the most picture votes for the Loaded Shepherd’s Stack Poutine
