Followers of this blog know my love for poutine. My friends at Happy Family Ranch (voted Fauquier County’s #1 food truck) asked if I could help them with a breakfast version for their food truck. So we put together this dish. It has pork belly, tater tots, cheese curds, and gravy. So eat your heart out Canada! Happy Family has something to show you. Go try this at One Loudoun farmers’ market on Saturday March 27th.

2 pounds pork belly cut in 1 inch cubes
