Poutine is just one of those comforting dishes that's a must have when visiting the great nation of Canada. Is it good for you? Nope. But who cares right?
This episode of Stuff You Should Know dives into the deliciously messy history of poutine, Canada's beloved dish of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Josh and Chuck trace its murky origins back to competing claims from small-town Quebec restaurateurs in the late 1950s and explore how this humble snack bar creation spread from rural Quebec to fast food chains and eventually high-end restaurants across North America. Along the way, they touch on regional variations, the debate over its name's etymology, and why some chefs are fiercely protective of keeping poutine simple rather than gourmet.
