Preservation, poutine, pizza, pop-ups, Prentice, and a number of things that don't start with the letter P are on Eat It Detroit's list of great food happenings this year.
Take poutine, for example, the gooey Quebec import combination of French fries, gravy and cheese curd:
"#2 THE POUTINE PROPHECY IS FULFILLED
I. TOLD. YOU. SO. One year ago, noooooooooo oooooooone had heard of this "poutine," despite us being spitting distance from the Canadian border. And I yapped and yapped and yapped and yapped about it, which I thoroughly documented here. And now, oh yes: IT IS A THING. To the point that Corktown is the Poutine Capital and I am the Poutine Queen. People are even experimenting with it: most recently on my radar, pork belly poutines from One-Eyed Betty's and Toasted Oak Grill + Market, pile o' pork poutines from 24grille and TAP (note: TAP's is not good), and tater tot poutines from the Wurst Bar and Ronin."
