History of Poutine
In the late 1950s, rural Québec snack bars began serving fresh-cut fries, cheese curds, and gravy. The origin legend that has received the most support is that it originated in the sleepy Quebecois rural community of Warwick, which is part of the Arthabaska county. Dairy producers in this community made cheese curds (one of the main ingredients in poutine). The first step in the evolution of poutine was the addition of cheese curds to French fries. This took place at the request of a patron at a nearby restaurant called Le Lutin Qui ruit.
This combo gained popularity as more customers began to enjoy it. The cheese and fries, however, cooled off far too quickly. In order to solve this problem, restaurant owner Fernand Lachance made the quintessential Canadian decision to cover the fries with hot gravy to keep them warm.
By the 1980s, poutine had evolved into a typical street cuisine, and when well-known fast food companies began including it on their menus, it eventually attained widespread recognition. Later, it became so well-liked that upscale restaurants began creating fancier variations. Now that poutine has gained widespread popularity, there are eateries solely devoted to it.
