Let’s not lump Sam’s and Archie’s together from a price perspective. Archie’s sandwiches are still $10-$12.

Ever have a yahoo with bacon? Keep it simple

Their poutine was surprisingly excellent.

Honestly this is true lol.

I pretty much am always able to get a later checkout.

Okay, so...

Saus is the best - and IMO better than most places in Canada. However there's two locations that are very different.
The one in Somerville's Bow Market is Vegetarian. So they use mushroom gravy & vegan cheese. The one Downtown is for meat-eaters & they also serve awesome chicken sandwiches & burgers.

Elephant & Castle is classic poutine, as traditional as it gets. If I recall correctly, they also had an Indian Butter-Chicken Poutine as well which is delicious.

The Porter Cafe in West Roxbury has "Quebecoise Poutine" on their menu. Quite ideal with a beer.

Trident Book Cafe has it - but I haven't had it.

Boston Burger Company has it on their menu, but I haven't tried it either.

Roxy's does Poutine Tots. Scratches an itch, but not quite right.

Double Chin does Peking Duck Fries which they call 'Poutine for your Mouth'. It's not quite Poutine, but it's a great overall menu and open until 4AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Something similar I enjoyed was Shadowless Fries at Shojo.

There used to be other places that served it but are now permanently closed - like The Gallows or the temporary Air Canada Poutinerie. Saloon and JM Curley used to have it, but no more.

Edit: If you're ever in Portland ME, go to Duckfat. Make a special trip if you have to.

There's no reason to push for a closure - call the health department. And OSHA.

You’ve named the ones I know in Boston.

If you’re ever in Portland (which is a fun day/weekend trip I would recommend) Duck Fat makes some fantastic poutine among other things.

Foundry on Elm in Davis Square

everyone needs a little bussy in their life

Modern photos are essentially plastic & chemicals, so burning them isn’t great — be careful not to breathe in fumes, I’d also be leery of cooking food in/on a barbecue that you’d burned photos in unless you clean it really well.

You’re probably looking for the catharsis of burning these, but I had a bunch of cringey stuff that I wanted to get rid of and I found that feeding it page by page into a shredder was nearly as satisfying as burning it, and way less messy. Just a thought!

Facts. The CEO of my company is from the New York area and claims Sams is better than any NYC sandwiches place. So he gets catering whenever hes in town. Ends up being hundreds of dollars for like 20 sandwiches.

I agree the snow isn't a reason to not bring a car, but I do live near the end of the B line without a car, have for almost 9 years, and it's fine. The trains go to the grocery store, and I use Zipcar to get out of the city. Some neighborhoods it's a nightmare to have a car so it has to really be worth it, this is not one of them, so it does come down to personal preference more, but I wouldn't say it's "really hard to grocery shop".

I have had tasty disco fries or “poutine” in the US, but never real squeaky curds outside of Canada. Sometimes the cheese is much fancier and I’d imagine more expensive, but not real fresh curds. Curious if anyone who has spent much time in Canada can vouch for anywhere in town.

Still evil - it's just never worth it

Penguin Pizza in Brigham Circle. The owners used to have a second restaurant across the street called Grub, that was a poutine shop. Sadly it closed, but at least they still have a good poutine on the menu over at Penguin.

yeah apparently this is because people have been flushing paper towels and other objects down coupled with years of neglect.

one time, at bus summer camp, one of them went off alone in the woods and never came back.

a few years later, a bus drowned too.

hence, bus buddy system or "bussy" for short. so, if you ever hear anyone mention bussy, now you can proudly declare "oh, i know exactly what that is and why we need it!"

I believe that address is Roxbury and I would do it. Area is developing fast and super close to all the activities. South Bay is a plus.

Also good info to have. Thanks!

We don't really get that much snow that it would factor into my decision whether or not to bring my car here.
