Enter The Green Well. The Green Well serves honest fayre with local flair in a green, neighborhood setting. Their innovative gastro pub is in a LEED® certified building, they have a creative ever-changing menu featuring a global range of eclectic flavors prepared with ingredients from local farmers, and their beverage offering includes a wide array of local craft brews and wines, all to support our local economy. It's a fantastic local neighborhood pub with wonderful food and a great atmosphere.
But I digress. Many months ago, Cindee and I were at The Green Well with some friends and I was very surprised to see poutine on a special menu they were running at the time. I've never seen poutine anywhere in Michigan (or the U.S. for that matter), only in Canada. Apparently, they had sponsored an appetizer contest and the two finalist were vying for a spot on the Appetizer menu as the winning prize. The two finalists dishes were poutine and a southern barbeque recipe. Poutine won and I enjoyed a mouthwatering and completely different approach to poutine than I had ever experienced before. On subsequent visits to The Green Well, I found that the poutine recipe had fallen off the menu but was available by request.
Fast forward to last night. Cindee and I decided to have dinner at The Green Well and I was again surprised to see poutine made it back on to the menu. Not just as an appetizer but a full entree. Titled 'Pot Roast Poutine', the entree was the very same dish I had enjoyed on numerous occasions with grilled asparagus added to round out the dish.
So, I encourage one and all to make their way to The Green Well for a Canadian delight stepped up to an entirely new level. If your mouth isn't watering at the thought of this dish, I'd check your pulse.
