French fries are about as close as you can get to perfection, and somehow our friends across the border have found a way to make the humble fry even better.
If the thought of eating your taters smothered in hot gravy with squeaky cheese curds has you gasping in horror, then you clearly haven’t tried poutine yet. The fries-and-gravy-and-cheese dish is from the Canadian province of Quebec, and some people swear it’s changed their life after a single greasy bite.
We think it will change your life too. Check out these five spots in Portland that serve up delicious plates of poutine.
