poutine BuzzFeed:

In Canada, this transcendent dish is served at every possible opportunity — restaurants, bars, truck stops, diners, doesn’t matter. In America it’s still treated like a culinary novelty. The few stateside restaurants that have attempted to make poutine can’t seem to get it right.

How to pour a Pilsner

Hospoda Esquire:

No American drinks foam. Give one a glass a third full of the stuff at almost any bar, and he’ll indignantly ask, “The hell is this?” Especially for a pilsner. But the exception to this rule is Hospoda, a restaurant in Manhattan that pours the best drafts you’ll find….its bartenders use Hospoda, a unique tap system to pump out four unique pours, each of which enhance the act of drinking in their own way, because of, yes, the foam.

We thought we’d introduce you to them, and tell you how they pour such strange and delicious drafts.

I may never get to Manhattan again so one of you needs to go to this restaurant and tell me just how wonderful and delicious this beer is.
