After a HUGE week of poutines, ESCA Pizza, Deke & Squeaks, and Winner’s Sports Bar take home top prize!
Cornwall, ON, May  2017: The Seaway Food Festival and La Poutine Week released the final list of winners in the second annual Cornwall edition of  La Poutine Week which took place from May 23rd to May 27th. The concept was pretty simple: local selected restaurants developed special poutine dishes and customers voted for their favourite one. Ten establishments took on the challenge and their creations battled it out in this friendly competition where three (3) awards were up for grabs: The People’s Choice Award, The Jury Award, and The Poutine Of The Year. In the end, we received hundreds of votes and sold close to 2,000 poutines.

“There is no more doubt: La Poutine Week 2017 was a smashing hit. I’ve never seen this type of engagement, debate, and enthusiasm from our consumers and our participating restaurants.It was overwhelming to see how quickly this event has been embraced by the foodie community. I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated,” said Seaway Food Festival Director Sebastien “Mani” Manigat. “Based on this success, we’ve already started discussing bringing Le Burger Week to Cornwall later this year.”
