Came out pretty dang good.
A nod to our neighbors to the north so only a couple little tweaks, but nothing too crazy.

I cut my potato into fries, then diced-up my curds and (leftover) roast beef.






Cooked my fries and started my gravy


My gravy was a delicious but a little thick for traditional Poutine. Also my fries were a little soggy as to were they're usually crispy for this dish, BUT that's ok.


It blended nicely and I ate all of it.

Poutine has been one of the most disappointing hyped foods I have ever had.

However, with your use of seasoned curds and a decent looking gravy it might be passable.

works really well for hangover prevention.

Cap off a long night of drinking with large order of poutine and you'll wake up feeling no ill affects from your lack of discretion and poor judgement.

I was in Montreal for a few days, killing time waiting for our cruise to start. I have read a lot about poutine so I asked people at the hotel where I could sample what the locals liked.

Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed, not a lot of flavor, just a mass of carbs. I'll leave it to others to enjoy, but not my thing.

What’s the difference between cheese curds and regular cheese?

That is my take on this.

The beef looked dry and the gravy looks boxed with add water.

What I would do different, and this is just a suggestion. I would cook a chuck roast for +/- 6 hours in the oven where it breaks up with a fork and have the au jus natural gravy. Like real po-boys are made. That juicier pulled beef pieces with natural gravy might be more appealing.

I make this dish but smoke a chuck roast. The smoke flavor adds another level to it.

I guess I just don't know who is hyping it up, I feel like it is treated like nachos everywhere.

It's the national dish of Canada. It is a staple on casual restaurants all over Canada. There are food trucks in Montreal dedicated to the dish.

Canada hypes it.

In Montreal it is everywhere, I rate it with haggis as far as national dishes go.

Using gumbo jus on fries is very good. Kind of like cajun poutine.

That sounds delicious. I was on the right track, but to smoke it like you do takes it to another level.

Well yeah they eat the shite out of it but I have been to Canada numerous times and the impression I got from everyone is its just a staple appetizer more than anything
