Poutine is incredibly mid and hyped for no logical reason.
We can compare directly to chili cheese fries to highlight how overhyped it is. Chili cheese fries are better objectively, having more culinary contrast, while remaining simple and cheap. They are not very hyped. They are a great indulgence though. If you want to spend a bit more you can get carne asada fries and that destroys poutine(not a very fair match up but comparable).
Poutine is salty fat(gravy) with saltly fat(cheese curds) and lastly some salty fatty carbs(fries). You get a little texture difference but that's it.
If we're comparing to simple national dishes it gets absolutely smoked by burgers, pizzas, tacos, shawarma, ramen, etc.
I have had it at a legit spot in Canada and it's frankly boring and I've eaten enough and cooked enough that there no way you can convince me there's a version worth the price of admission. I'd rather have almost any other dish. The hype is some weird irrational meme.
