KFC is introducing poutine, a classic Canadian dish, to customers in the U.S., and they’re partnering with chef and actor Matty Matheson, known for his role in the show The Bear, to do it.
Poutine is a classic Canadian dish loved for its delicious combination of french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It’s become so popular that you can now find it at almost every fast food restaurant in Canada, like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Popeyes.
Okay, so KFC Canada’s always had poutine, which is awesome. But now, we in the US are finally getting something similar! It’s called Matty’s Cheesy Nuggy Gravy Bowl, and basically, it’s a bowl of their nuggets covered in gravy and cheese. I’m definitely gonna have to try it!
The best part? It only sets customers back $5 and fans are already raving about it.
