I had Poutine in Canada the last time I visited. It was too salty for me. I always loved dipping my fries in gravy, but not poured on top. We have a new little restaurant that serves hot dogs and hamburgers and had fries with gravy on the menu. I told the owner about Poutine but he never found a way to get cheese curds in Southern California. He
topped the gravy fries with cheese sauce and calls it Poutine. He says it sells like crazy.
