Not from Boston! They're actually a chain from Canada, started in 1964(!) in Edmonton,Alberta. Ate there one night, had the Poutaine for an appetizer. Good stuff; french fries with gravy and cheese curds. Tastes much better than it sounds, it's one of those food combinations that sounds as if it shouldn't work, yet does. Theirs was really good as they use a dark brown gravy, whereas the A&W where I first tried it uses a lighter gravy. And the pizza was quite good, had pepperoni with sausage, which was a sliced sausage, not a crumbled sausage you usually get in the States. And of course, much cold beer was consumed, though nothing new. Pizza was expensive, about $21Cn for a medium 2-topping, but then all the food was expensive on Vancouver Island. But worth a visit if you're ever in Canada, nothing fancy, just good food, cold beer.
