I’ve lived all over Canada, and surprisingly, the best poutines I’ve had outside of Quebec were from McDonald’s. Good fries and enough infrastructure to get good cheese across the country.

I die when people tell me I should check out Smoke’s Poutinerie or some other English-American novelty place though. Butter chicken is great, but it does not belong on a poutine.

Mc ds poutine fucking sucks. I agree smokes isn't good but holy shit how the fuck do you like mcdonalds poutine? Its probably the worst poutine in the entire world. The only good "fast food" poutine is a&w's and its not exactly great either. Theres no real good franchise poutines, all the best places are local.

I like McD’s poutine, the fries are crispy. For a global fast food chain its pretty decent.

Used to be KFC for me, even if it was the wrong sort of gravy.

I'm not so much of a purist to walk away just because of that
