Curly Fry Poutine
A unique take on poutine, featuring curly fries for an extra satisfying crunch and delicious chaos.
"The handmade pierogies were better than your grandma’s (sorry, Grandma), and the curly fry poutine was pure, glorious, delicious chaos in a bowl."

Tofu Parm
A standout vegetarian option, this Tofu Parm is so good it's said to deserve its own fan club.
