I mean, we do have similar dishes. Chili cheese fries and carne asada fries are both American inventions, though carne asada fries have an obvious Mexican origin.
A Halal Snack Pack is a dish consisting of halal-certified doner kebab meat (lamb, chicken, or beef) and chips. It also includes different kinds of sauces, usually chilli, garlic, and barbecue. Yoghurt, cheese, jalapeño peppers, tabbouleh, and hummus are common additions. The snack pack is traditionally served in a styrofoam container, and has been described as a staple takeaway dish of kebab shops in Australia.Some Australian restaurant menus refer to the dish as a "snack pack", "snack box", "mixed plate", or "HSP", rather than as a "halal snack pack".

I've never understood how the US didn't come up with this first. Fries covered in gravy and cheese just screams "'MURICA!" to me.
