The Now Famous Poutine Burger - The Rumrunner, Coleman, Alberta

Up first, The Rumrunner in Coleman, Alberta.

A small restaurant/bar located right on Highway 3 as you enter the town from the west.

I'd heard rumours of a burger in this restaurant that would stop your heart.  The Poutine Burger.  As soon as I heard about it, I knew that I would need to try it.  It was just one of those things that despite the obvious health impact, I had to eat.
How to describe it?
Well, the best words are delicious and filling.

The Poutine Burger is now described on the menu as The Now Famous Poutine Burger.  And it is.  You start with a slice of garlic toast with a half-pound burger on top of it.
Top that with a lot of fries, cheese curds, and gravy.
A steak knife is place in the middle of the burger and onion rings are lined up the handle.

You need to have an appetite to attempt this burger.  Even going in hungry, it might be difficult to finish.
The only critique that I can or would offer would be a slight improvement on the gravy.  It needed a little work on it.  But really, my plate was clean afterwards.

I've often talked this burger up to friends and co-workers.  A nice quiet restaurant at lunchtime and with great food.
