Description

This poutine is a cheater not only because of the gravy but also the cheese. I didn’t bother to look for cheese curds and used mozzarella instead. And you know what, it didn’t really matter because it tasted insanely good. Somehow the spices and thyme in the fries went really well with the gravy and cheese. I would says this is a new poutine invention.
