Are you a poutine purist? If you insist on having your poutine be the routine fries, curds, and gravy, we advise you look away, because things are about to get wild.
Here are five crazy poutine creations to try in Calgary.
Kimchi Poutine at Fryday
Mix things up big time with this Korean-meets-Canadian twist on poutine. Fryday has a great selection of eclectic poutines, spicy siren-call of the Kimchi Poutine is hard to resist. It’s hand-cut Russet potato fries topped with caramelized kimchi, pork belly, cheese curds, Sriracha aioli, seaweed flakes, and green onion.

Pulled Pork Poutine at The Palomino Smokehouse
