I'm reminded of when KFC came out with the "Double Down". It was two pieces of fried chicken breast (instead of a bun) with melted cheese, bacon & sauce in between them.
While I was intrigued, I couldn't bring myself to eat a whole one.

I did have the (billed as, at the time) "second best poutine in Canada" once in Kingston, ON, but I was quite drunk and I remember the advertising more than the eating.
Not sure where the good stuff can be found here in Toronto. We have "Smoke's Poutinerie" which is fine but underwhelming considering it's their specialty.
I haven't tried Smoke's. They opened a shop here in Calgary, but it went under within about 6 weeks
and we do have a few poutineries that do just fine, so that makes me question whether they are as go
Not a lot of New York Fries around here. I think the last time I had any f of poutine it was from Swiss Chalet of all places and was a bit ... strang

I'm curious how it compares to other offerings. I recall going to some big To-Do place for poutine in Montreal where it was like an hour wait out the and all they made was various forms of poutine. Can't remember the name offhand. It was good, but I'm not sure that it lived up to the hype.

I only like Smoke's "Classic" poutine. All the other fancy ones I've
had from there were just meh.
Dairy Queen has surprisingly good poutine, but not all of them use
cheese curds. Some of them cheap out and just use shredded cheese.

I've tried this concoction you call "poutine" exactly twice (I'm originally from Texas).
I'm from the US and have never had poutine. I'm curious to try it though. Also I used to work at a Diary Queen a long time ago. It's interesting to what different products restaurants sell in different countries.
Probably the best poutine I've ever had was from this "chip truck" (a food truck that sells fries) that used peanut oil to deep fry their freshly cut
It happened to be in a Zellers parking lot (kind of like Target in the US),
shortly after Zellers went under that location became a Wal-Mart and
then that truck disappeared.
Even regional differences exist. There's apparently a McLobser on the east
coast of Canada. We had McPizza here in Ontario which was actually pretty
One American I work with (from our new corporate overlords) was surprised to
learn that Canadian Taco Bells serve french fries.
I tried the McLobster when I lived in Halifax. Couldn't describe it to you not very memorable.
Was McDonald's pizza not a thing everywhere in the 90s? It was its own int ng form of food. I had a friend who loved it, but I would only eat it occa ly.
I heard the same thing from an American, or perhaps second-hand. I'm shock t Fries Supreme aren't a thing south of the border.

Probably the best poutine I've ever had was from this "chip truck" (a food truck that sells fries) that used peanut oil to deep fry their freshly cut fries. The gravy was molten hot, they used real cheese curds and of course the freshly cut fries.

Speaking of "international" McDonalds though, I visited Germany and Switze in 1998, and I noticed that McDonald's sells beer in Germany..
I haven't seen Taco Bell sell fries here in the US.
When I was visiting the in-laws extended family in PEI I was introduced to "chips with the works". It was a plate of fries with loose ground beef, gravy & peas. It was actually pretty good, but I was surprised it didn't have cheese on it.

Apparently this one does exist in some places at some points in time. Again, I had to google this
one but it does look... interesting.
It tastes pretty much like you would imagine it. Fast food nacho toppings dumped on top of french fries instead of tortilla chips. Garbage junk food, but it can be tasty if you're in the mood for it.
When I was young Taco Bell here had mild, medium, hot & fire sauces. Then for some reason in the mid-2000's they stopped carrying fire sauce but still had the others.
Maybe about 5 years ago they finally brought fire sauce back. Around the same time we went just across the border to Buffalo and noticed the Taco Bells there got this new Diablo sauce (which was a little too hot for my tastes & didn't sit well with my stomach at all!).
All of this makes me think of "Italian poutine", which I haven't had in ages. (Instead of gravy, ground beef and pasta sauce.)

So for reference, I'm 20 miles from Niagara Falls and can see the Toronto skyline across Lake Ontario. I've tried this concoction you call "poutine" exactly twice (I'm originally from Texas).
Once was on the Canadian side ofhte Falls on Clifton Hill (tourist traps shoud go there to take notes). I was a bit tipsy so it was interesting and carbs so I didn't dismiss it immediately.

I'm somewhat of a poutine connoisseur. Or that's an excuse I use to eat all the poutine I like. ;)

Taco Bell food in general doesn't seem to sit well with some people. I like it though, and I eat there every so often.

When I was in England in 1998 I saw an advertisement in the tube
station for a "Lamb McTasty" and a "Mac Biriyani". When you have a
large population that doesn't eat beef, you gotta diversify...
