The Plentiful Poutine Possibilities at Walt Disney World

Have you ever heard of poutine? Poutine is a dish historically known for being of distinct Canadian origin, poutine in its most traditional format comes as French fries served up with cheese curds and topped with brown gravy. But like all great cultural cuisine classics, many creative elaborations have since sprung up over the years, taking conventional poutine into a broad and bountiful new standing. As a result, it is no longer following its Canadian-based cookie-cutter model and has branched out to even embrace other regional food collaborations in other cultures.

You already know that the food scene at Walt Disney World Resort goes above and beyond the usual in just about every way, making for an elevated epicurean experience with each and every eat and treat. So, it should come as no surprise to learn that not only do they serve up poutine at quite a couple of different locations throughout the Parks and in nearby Disney Springs, but they’ve maximized the offerings for just what their poutine possibilities entail. You don’t like brown gravy? You’re not into curds? Not a problem! Now, more than ever before, there are so many different poutine renditions out there. So, we’re offering you this insightful look into the plentiful poutine possibilities to take note of all throughout Walt Disney World.

The Daily Poutine

Another excellent purveyor of poutine that can be found within Disney Springs is the rightfully named Daily Poutine quick-service spot. And as you probably already guessed, their specialty is quite obviously poutine. But not just any old poutine, mind you. This is the crème de la crème of specialty poutine possibilities maximized to a whole other intricate level. In fact, it would even be safe to say that they reinvented all that poutine is. For here they offer up many different variations—not only the traditional Canadian staple, which they do in fact serve as well.

Canadian Poutine

Because we are already discussing it, let us first explore their specific Canadian Poutine as it is listed on the menu. Here you have your traditional everyday “daily poutine” offering of house French fries accompanied by beef gravy and cheddar curds. It’s the simple comforts in its most familiar rendition!

Italian Poutine

Perhaps you’d be expecting any enhanced changes to a Quebec-based concoction to embrace an even more French-influenced model rather than doing an about-face by embracing an Italian flavor. But the successfully carried out scenario for the Italian Poutine featured here does in fact do rather well. In this case, The Daily Poutine’s Italian Poutine gets even cheesier with both Mozzarella as well as Pecorino Romano topping off the French fries, along with turkey Bolognese sauce.

New Delhi Poutine

Another highly unexpected variation to the elaborate poutine embellishments offered at The Daily Poutine is their New Delhi Poutine specialty. For this crafty concoction, they dress up the French fries with a special tomato curry sauce, throw in some chicken, and then sprinkle in the paneer cheese.

Korean Barbecue Poutine

Just when you thought the poutine possibilities couldn’t get any more unexpected, they present their one-of-a-kind Korean Barbecue Poutine. In a deviation that can almost be described as an antithesis to the aforementioned Italian Poutine, their Korean Barbecue comes as featured French fries spruced up with pulled pork-laden with Korean barbecue sauce, kimchi, and sriracha aïoli.

This rendering comes as traditional French fries mixed together with queso blanco, iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo salsa, bacon, and garlic-ranch dressing to garnish things off.
