Oh, Canada ...

In honor of Canada Day, an ode to poutine, a typical dish in Quebec:

(fries covered in gravy and cheese curds)


If you're craving this indulgent late night snack, it can be found in Boston at the Beehive in the South End, which is one of my favorite places, hands down. This restaurant and bar has an excellent ambience with funky, speakeasy decor, good food and delightful cocktails, and live music with everything from soul to Afro-jazz to reggae - it's a vibrant scene unlike the rest in the city.
Try the Flying Dutchman martini. But be warned: they pack a real punch! You may just need some poutine after to soak it up...
