STEAK AND CHEESE POUTINE

Did you know that October 15th is National Cheese Curd Day? We were so excited that the NH PoutineFest would be held on October 15th that we signed up to be a sponsor and provide our Cheese Curds to all the restaurants competing in the event. Chef Emily won’t be at the NH PoutineFest, but she wanted to share one of her Poutine recipes.
