Come to New Jersey, go into just about any diner and order "Disco Fries"
Not quite the same as Poutine (which you can get all over Manchester NH in the US by the way)
Disco Fries are thicker cut fries (sometimes steak, somtimes crinkle) with american cheese and brown gravy.
Variations include substiuting mozzerella for the american cheese, and using chicken gravy instead of brown gravy.
I have eaten more plates of disco fries than I care to remember. It's a classic late night after the bar food.
The diner I used to frequent would serve them with gravy on the side in a coffee cup. I would not pour it over, I would dip forkfulls in. The problem was I also would drink coffee with a little milk - which is close in color to their gravy. I have dipped forkfulls of fries and cheese into coffee, and I have also taken a few slugs of gravy (I said it was after the bars closed
