Ketchup is disgusting, I would much rather have poutine if I was going to eat fries.

Poutine in Chicago: http://archives.chicagotribune...122-short-poutinejan22
When some Canadians?particularly French Canadians?move to the United States, they tend to complain about a few specific things: our weak enthusiasm for hockey, our lack of universal health care and, of course, our disgraceful shortage of poutine.
There?s not much I can do about the first two things. But I can tell you where to find variations here on that Canadian treat of french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds that is pronounced POOH-teen.
One is upscale and one is decidedly downscale, and the last is kind of cobbled together through sheer ingenuity. But whether you are fresh from a brutal hockey game, tired after a moose hunt or just exhausted after some rough shopping, these gravy-and-cheese-covered fries will surely hit the spot?or at least insulate you from the cold.
The Gage, 24 S. Michigan Ave.; 312-372-4243: The poutine here comes out as thick, perfectly cooked steak fries smothered in rich elk ragout and melted cheese curds. It?s tasty and satisfying and would make a great warm-up after ice skating across the street at Millennium Park?but $9 for fries. Yow.
Pizzeria Aroma, 1125 W. Berwyn Ave.; 773-769-4900: If I hadn?t perused a menu I found on the sidewalk in Uptown, I would have never thought to look at this fast casual Italian joint for poutine. But there it is listed under ?flava fries,? along with other smothered french fry combinations such as Buffalo, Caesar salad, Memphis style and Sicilian. We tried a few and decided they all had their particular charms. Although traditional poutine should be topped with cheese curds, the crinkle-cut fries here come covered in a thinnish, beefy gravy (that pools at the bottom of the bowl) and a coat of mozzarella cheese. It?s not a masterpiece, but it fills the belly. $2.99.
Ed Debevic?s, 640 N. Wells St.; 312-664-1707: This sassy ersatz greasy spoon doesn?t serve poutine per se. But we were able to assemble hearty and yummy facsimile by getting a basket of their ?wets??skinny crispy fries bathed in a rich gravy?with a side of melted cheddar. When the elements come together it?s poutine delish. It costs $4.35 plus an extra 50 cents for the cheese.
I haven't been to any of these three places, and I don't know if any are still in business, but I have been to Ed Debevic's in the suburbs before they closed down. Was a decent place, but a bit pricy for what you get.
Another good place to look is Yelp

As a matter of fact, my local awesome place has Poutine.
When in Northern Virginia, just go south on highway 28 into Manassas, turn southeast onto Manassas Drive and keep going until you hit the 2nd 7-11. In the lot is a delightful little joint called Clarkes, and they serve poutine all the time.
Awesome stuff.

I first learned about poutine here on ATOT. I'm in the NoVa/DC area. I guess I'll have to make it to try it. Simple recipe with only three ingredients. I should be able to pick up some cheese curds at Wegman's or similar grocer.

Oh and for the record, fast food joint poutine is FAR from the real stuff. You need to have it at a chipstand or a place that specializes in that, to truly enjoy it. There's a place here called Don's Pizzeria and they make the most awesome poutine. Their regular is really good, but their specialty is their pizza poutine. I'll let you figure out what is in it. Lets just say, it's really not healthy. 😛

they have poutein when you get close to the border here although it isn't called that until you cross the boarder
I've run into poutine in many places across Canada. New York Fries franchises here have it. The "sauce" is a meat gravy, and can vary by restaurant. I often see it as the darker stock beef gravy restaurants all seem to use. But in Quebec it seems to me you're more likely to see a lighter chicken-based gravy, but not like KFC. More like the flavor and texture of the gravy used at a popular Quebec chicken franchise chain, St. Hubert.

NYF makes pretty decent poutine, especially for a franchise. Nothing like a nice hot dog and a poutine from NYF. I'm hungry now, just thinking about it.
