Famoso Poutine blends savory, salty, and creamy flavors with a rich, earthy undertone from the mushroom gravy. The crispy fries provide a satisfying texture contrast to the soft cheese curds and smooth gravy.
The crispy fries deliver a salty, starchy base. Fresh mozzarella curd offers a milky, slightly tangy counterpoint, providing a characteristic squeak. The homemade mushroom gravy introduces a deep, umami-rich flavor profile, with earthy notes from the mushrooms complementing the savory base and tying the dish together.
Eat it Fresh
Poutine is best enjoyed immediately while the fries are still crispy and the cheese curds are melty but not completely dissolved. This ensures the optimal textural contrast.
Gravy Distribution
Ensure the gravy is evenly distributed to coat all the fries and cheese curds for a balanced flavor profile in every bite.
Cheese Curd Squeak
The squeakier the cheese curds, the fresher they are. Enjoy the unique texture before the heat completely melts them.
