When it comes to cheese curds, what's your current approach?

I use whatever cheese I have on hand—shredded cheddar works fine. I know fresh curds are better, but I'm not sure where to find them. I buy fresh cheese curds from specialty shops, though I don't always check freshness. I source authentic fresh curds and understand the importance of that signature squeak.

How do you currently handle the gravy for your poutine?

I use canned or powdered gravy—it's quick and easy. I make gravy from scratch sometimes, but it doesn't always turn out consistent. I make homemade gravy regularly using stock and roux, with decent results. I craft complex, flavourful gravies with proper technique and temperature control.

When assembling poutine, what matters most to you?

I just pile everything together and serve it whenever it's ready. I know timing is important, but I'm not sure about the exact temperatures. I pay attention to temperature and timing, getting decent results most of the time. I understand precise temperature management (75–80°C fries, 65–70°C gravy) and execute it perfectly.

How adventurous are you with poutine variations and toppings?

I stick to basic poutine—fries, cheese curds, and gravy, nothing more. I've tried a few variations like loaded poutine, but I'm unsure how to balance flavours. I experiment with toppings regularly and know which combinations work well together. I confidently create gourmet variations, understanding flavour profiles and how to elevate the dish.
