Two of Montreal’s most iconic dishes got some major attention over the Grand Prix 2025 weekend weekend.
First, it was Lance Stroll visiting one of the city’s most beloved delis.
And now, Ben Stiller was captured in close proximity to one of the province’s most famous poutines.
The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2025 edition was home to 120 food vendors lining the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, offering a variety of dishes.
Ashton, located in the Green Zone, is where poutine becomes serious business: golden fries, fresh cheese curds, and hot gravy served with Quebec pride and tradition.
Ben Stiller, the American actor, writer and director, was in town for race weekend with his wife, Christine Taylor.
While the couple was snapped in and around the F1 circuit, there’s one photo that has gone viral.
A post on Ashton’s Instagram account showed Ben Stiller standing next to a healthy portion of poutine, complete with a fork, and the following caption:
“Ben Stiller and an Ashton poutine in the same photo was not on our bingo card.”
Ashton, purveyors of Quebéc poutine since 1969, also published a photo of Charles Leclerc’s dog (the Monégasque racing driver who competes in Formula One for Ferrari), Leo, looking down at the circuit with the following caption:
“POV: Leo just waiting for his poutine at the Canadian Grand Prix”.
