Company attributes Smolkin's death to complications from recent surgery
Ryan Smolkin, the zany, Smiths Falls, Ont.-bred entrepreneur best known for his restaurants serving poutine smothered in an endless array of toppings, has died.

He died Sunday of unexpected complications from a recent surgery, the company said Monday, adding that he dreamt of achieving "global domination" with the Ajax, Ont.-based brand.
"He wanted to be in every city and every country in the world and that's what he preached from day one," said Smoke's president and chief operating officer Mark Cunningham, who Smolkin chose to be his successor.
Smolkin started Smoke's in 2009, slinging hefty heaps of poutine topped with ingredients like pulled pork, bacon, cheeseburgers and butter chicken. He chose poutine simply because it was "unique," Cunningham said.
At Smoke's, Smolkin called himself the chief entertainment officer, a role that saw him curate more than 30 varieties of the fry-based dish his chain would sell. He also starred in a smattering of YouTube videos.

Not the best advertisement for your artery clogging product... Having your founder die of heart disease at 50.
According to the Canadian government, the majority of the people dying of heart disease in Canada are 80 YO or older.
My bet is the guy’s diet didn’t kill him.
My money’s on bad medical care. Including CoupFlu vaxxes.
Or he had incriminating info on Hillary.
Patient harm in Canadian hospitals? It does happen.
And I bet that number is low-balled.
Au revoir, mon ami.
I VERY occasionally ate at Smoke’s.
VERY occasionally. His poutine is one of those foods that tastes so good that you know with every single bite, it’s completely unhealthy. :P
“Big heart” might not mean what they intended it to mean.
Dead at 50?
Had to look up poutine.
It’s like chillie cheese fries.
Whataburger in Athens just added it to the menu, I could not resist. Way better than Sonic.
Poutine: French Fries, Wisconsin Cheese Curds, Gravy. YUM!
The guy literally sold poutine. And you don’t think that had anything to do with it?
Yeah…must be the vax.
Oh..it’s much worse than that. LOL
They used to die in the hallways waiting for treatment under the fantastic "single payer" (government run healthcare)
The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that their system was a violation of human rights.
Are you kidding? Poutine is fantastic.
(Unless you don’t like “potatoes and gravy” or French Fries)
There are hundreds of versions of it, depending on mostly on the meat used. A common one is ground pork gravy over chopped onions, cheese curds and fries.
Pulled-pork poutine is excellent.
And by the way, if you don’t know...it’s pronounced:
poot-zin’
It should be assumed to be caused by the CLOT SHOT vaxxxxxxines until PROVEN otherwise.
EVERYONE who took the clot shots has some cardiac damage. The heart and the brain do NOT heal themselves, once damaged, it might be a countdown to what takes you out.
And the spike proteins go EVERYWHERE which gives the clot shot victims VAIDS where their immune system attacks the body's cells infested with Fauci's spike proteins.

Fifty is the new 80:
50 = NEW 80 IF YOU TOOK THE mRNA poison shots
Went up to Quebec City to some restaurant, they served me something with french fries on a plate of gravy, which was about the most delicious thing I ever tasted. I think it was poutine. I licked the plate clean.
