Smoke's Poutinerie is a Canadian poutine restaurant franchise founded by Ryan Smolkin.

History

Ryan Smolkin, the founder of Smoke's Poutinerie, worked alongside Toronto restaurant consultants The Fifteen Group when starting out. He needed to gain experience in the restaurant industry. With the help of The Fifteen Group's chef, the original gravy recipe was developed.^[2]

In 2008, Smoke's Poutinerie opened its first location in Toronto. It was the first poutine restaurant in the city.^[3]^[4]

In 2016, Smoke's Poutinerie had 76 restaurants in Canada and 5 in the United States. They planned to expand the company internationally and open 1,300 restaurants around the world by 2020. Smoke's Poutinerie had already started on this expansion, having sold franchises to franchisees in the United States.^[5] By 2017, the restaurant had some 150 locations across Canada and United States.^[6] Smoke's opened its first location in the US, in Berkeley, California in 2014, which closed in April 2018.^[7]^[8]^[9] The four other U.S. locations have also closed.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16] According to their websites, as of August 20, 2022, there are currently 49 locations all in Canada.^[17]

Ryan Smolkin died October 29, 2023, from complications following surgery. He was 50 years old.^[18]

Poutine Eating Championship

The Annual Smoke's Poutinerie World Poutine Eating Championship crowns a new champion each year, and in 2016 a world record was broken for poutine eating.^[19] The event includes 3 levels of poutine eating including amateur, professional, and destroyer.^[20]

In that same year, the event focused on raising money for the Friends of We Care charity and raised over $50,000 to send disabled children to camp.^[20]

Competition

Smoke's Poutinerie had its fair share of competitiveness. Most large Canadian restaurant chains already had a basic poutine item on their menu. Smoke's Poutinerie opened its second location in Toronto by 2015, and Poutineville which as of May 2019, has 6 restaurants in Quebec.^[5]

Smoke's Poutinerie's further competition has come from corporate businesses. McDonald's expanded its poutine product from being only in Quebec, Canada, to the entire country.^[21] In 2012, Wendy's added poutine to their menu as Canada's national dish.^[21] More companies have added poutine to their menus including Burger King, A&W, KFC and Popeyes.^[21]

Rumination is the focused attention on the symptoms of one's mental distress, and on its possible causes and consequences, as opposed to its solutions, according to the Response Styles Theory proposed by Nolen-Hoeksema in 1998.[1][2] Because the Response Styles Theory has been empirically supported, this model of rumination is the most widely used conceptualization. ...
