Chip Truck Review---Chip Wagon

Update--they moved to another location where they kept getting broken into. They moved or shut down and I don't know more. 

I was taking Megan to her favourite thrift store when we passed a new sign for a chip truck, advertising fresh cut fries. After our shopping spree, we popped in. It's just a tiny cute little chip wagon, tucked in at the "auto spa". 

The menu is very basic. Fries or poutine, extra gravy and drinks. The fries are cut when you order. We got a small poutine.  It was only $5. 

When they handed us the forks, there was also a spoon. Why? Well, we soon found out! There is plenty of gravy on these fries! We did feel that they were a little shy on the curds though (there were more hiding, but we would have liked more). The small was really too small for two to share as a lunch, but it'd be perfect for one person. 

Megan loved the gravy. It was a lighter coloured gravy, probably heavy on the chicken. It had kind of a pasty colour. Not sure if it was from a powdered mix, or what, but it was quite different than most places we've been. She really liked it though and she's much more picky than me on the gravy.

Now, the fries. We went back to the Chip Wagon a second time, and brought Lucy. The young man recognized us and was very friendly. And apologetic that they had run out of spoons LOL. This time we seemed to have even more gravy too. While we were waiting, a man came to ordered. He asked if they are double-fried. The young man responded no. I had figured they weren't. They were definitely cooked, but lacked that little extra that double frying fresh cut potatoes can give you. I am more of a crispy fry gal, and these were almost there, but still fluffy enough  to please the other people with me. 

The location is a nice change from busy streets. Although the car washes are a little noisy and the wagon has a generator running, it's still nicer than other locations. There is a covered eating area, and a stand up table. The only issue is parking--it's kind of a one direction lot and you have to kind of cut through the car detailing to get out, unless you're going through the auto car wash LOL.

More precise directions---Hopkins St, just south of Dundas St (Highway 2), where Nicol Ave meets Hopkins St, Whitby.
