Went to the great Minnesota state fair today with 100,000 of my best friends. 90+ degrees today with a dew point in the 70's ......not comfortable.

Tried poutine today for the first time. 2 thumbs up to Canada on that one. Eh

This may seem odd to some of you but trust me!
Inspired by a regional Quebec dish Poutine that consists of french fries cheese curds and gravy..It is damn good!
I had no curds so I swapped with shredded mozzarella and added some smoked chicken.
Seasoned the meat like this..

Keep the beer from freezing..

Smoked the chicken for an hour and finished at 350.
All chopped up..

Plated on top of crispy french fries and smothered in chicken gravy...

Love Poutine. Karen and the girls went to the "Great Get Together" last night - I had to coach softball.
Scallywag - that looks pretty darn good!

Scally, any thing special about the gravy? Home made? Jar?

I know what I had today would have been better with a better gravy....it was still real good

When I was in college, we'd sober up on a huge plate of french fries and gravy with cheese on top at Sweaty Betty's.  I never knew it was fancy French food!

I love it Pappy and some nice Poutine SW. I made it a couple of time with just shredded cheddar and then  I finally found some cheese curds at Meijers. They say it is best if you can find fresh cheese curds. Don
Here is a recipe I used for gravy, not sure it is authentic Canadian or not but was good!
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
¼ cup flour
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 cups beef stock
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. whole green peppercorns
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups cheddar cheese curds
1. Heat butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add shallot and garlic, and cook, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add stock, ketchup, vinegar, peppercorns, Worcestershire, and salt and pepper, and bring to a boil; cook, stirring, until thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and keep gravy warm.

I am not big on the brown gravy but wouldn't mind trying it with speckled white gravy!

Yeah......I can see this happening already. My wife comes home from son's business and I say: "Guess what I had for lunch today?"

You can send the flowers to the New Braunfels mortuary and the San Antonio VA cemetery.

I love a white speckly gravy. But, you need to try the brown stuff (make it a bit thin - add some more liquid) or a chicken gravy for poutine - it really makes it!

My really simple version:

BROWN GRAVY
Ingredients:
•   1/2 cup butter
•   1/2 cup flour
•   1 clove garlic, minced
•   1/4 cup ketchup (I like Hunts)
•   1 tsp Dijon mustard
•   1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or some anchovy paste
•   11/2 quart cold beef  or chicken broth (homemade or the best you can find)
•   salt and black pepper to taste
Prep:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the mixture is golden-brown and smells like cooked pie crust, a chocolate roux. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in a cup of the cold beef broth, and then add the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer, whisking, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste / season with salt and pepper.
