@DannyBoy888 thing is curds stop squeaking within a very short amount of time after creation. You need to find a dairy that makes cheese and get then from there.

[@mdinelle]

Hi Sam, great video. As a Québécois that worked in a family-owned poutine joint when I was younger, I couldn't resist chiming in! You nailed it. The key parts of your preparation (sourcing the cheese curds and french fry prep) are spot-on! Using fresh potatoes cooked in 2 steps at 2 different temperatures is the key to getting true Québec-style "patates frites". Sourcing cheese curds (which can be a real challenge depending on where you live) is the other key to getting the taste and textures right for an amazing poutine. You also got the gravy right (although different from how we flavored it), but to me that's a matter of personal taste, same goes for the other toppings. In Québec, sauce and other "accoutrements" is what sets poutine joints apart, since sourcing cheese over here and doing fries right (using fresh, not frozen) is simple to achieve. This video made me a subscriber. Keep it up! Kudos!

My heart sank when you started building the poutine in the cast iron pan, as I thought for sure you were going to put it in the oven to melt the curds. Thank you thank you thank you for doing it justice. You hit the nail on the head, hot fries and piping hot gravy is the key. Also I'm with you on the preference for a thicker gravy as it doesn't make the fries soggy.

They do in some states, but the big problem is the cheese curds. They are artisanaly made everywhere in canada. They dont all taste the same, but are all pretty close.

Fun fact, while pregnant I was queasy the entire 6 months I was preggers (yup, little dude came early- likely on account of wanting to get to the beginning of his bacon eating life), I digress. The ONLY thing I could keep down was, New York Fries poutine. Let's just say, my husband became very good friends with every person who worked at a NYF place within an hour radius, unfortunately they are not many around and yes, on some occasions, he drove an hour to get us one (or three). Do I feel guilty about that? Nope. Not even one tiny bit, I grew an entire new human being inside my body...he drove an hour for poutine (which he also loves AND partook in, to be a good sport), so...no...not guilty about it one little bit. We did get some pretty good frequent eater miles and they started packaging it all up separately for us so it wouldn't be one big ole soggy mess by the time he made it back. Hmmm, poutine.

Yeah, life on the edge, mixing beef and chicken broth.

[@darrenfleming7901]

I doubt the gravy in fast food poutine has beef or chicken in it though, it's just water, salt, and gelatin.

Poutine is quebecois not canadian

[@unclebobbastard101]

@@solomons5669 By that logic so is maple syrup.

Way to spice up the original! 😊 hope ur safe from angry Canadians... 😅✌now to find that cheese.....

I grew up in a farming town with several dairy and cheese processors, we fondly referrer to cheese curds as "squeaky cheese"

As a Canadian: YOU DAMN WELL BETTER GET THIS RIGHT SAM

[@paaytonlanders]

Isn’t he Canadian? He said from his homeland? 😭 or maybe I’m just confused

[@chronicposer]

@@paaytonlanders yes his homeland is canada. He's in the US now. So this dish was from his homeland...

[@yourface3154]

Ça c'est bon, merci mon compatriote! I think your poutine is legit! (Your video brings back fond memories of having poutine at La Bûche when visiting Quebec City prior to the pandemic...) Keep on keeping on, mon ami!

[@josephmartin144]

This show is great! Totally, got the HIMYM reference from max. LOL. This is just so refreshing from typical cooking shows on cable. Love the interaction between Sam & Max. Also, really makes cooking seem normal. Inspires me to get back to learning in the kitchen again.

That sounds like a REALLY knife edge friendly surface he's cutting his spuds onto! 😉

I can’t wait to try this

[@xXMiKuXx21]

I was supposed to have a semester in Montreal and then…schmovid. So I will have to use this recipe and make the poutine I’ve been dreaming of since that trip was cancelled! Thank you!

[@mozart6643]

ooo my, Sam cooking a Québec glorious delicacy. LOVE IT

[@6690698]

Ok, I'm 47 years old and in the last couple of years I started traveling. I've been to Israel, Brussels, Belgium, and Canada. I absolutely fell in love with Canada. When you refered them as chips in an English accent I correct you in a Belgium accent and called them "frites". Lol I have traveled to Canada 3 times in the past year and a half; Fort Frances, Emo, and Kenora. Each time I've gone the first thing I get is Poutine! You are absolutely right. I live in Southern California (LA area) too and it's kinda difficult to find cheese curds. Great Video and awesome choice!!!

[@wetrock2766]

I wonder if you could find some Queso Blanco in Mexican groceries, maybe??

[@madelinedaigle7598]

Just watched this majestic piece of culinary artistry with my whole family and I must say, good sir, you just gained a new subscriber. Holy sh* t what an epic video :)

[@terrinewell3044]

Proud Canadian here....we love poutine in all its forms...my daughter even started a blog listing her ranking of poutines available at any restaurants we try. We live in a fishing area on the East coast, and lobster poutine is very popular here.

[@kingconcerto5860]

You can't beat classic poutine; specialty poutine such as lobster poutine is a bastardization IMO.

[@michaeldufresne3132]

Well Done Sam, looks delicious, coming from a home grown Montrealer - Home of the Poutine!!
