Canadian dish that has spread in popularity to the Northeastern states. Traditionally it was fried potatoes covered in turkey gravy and sprinkled with the skimmed cheese curds. Modern interpretations are:
Beef gravy and mozzarella cheese, called
Hobo Fries in the MD/DC/NOVA region.
Chicken gravy and mozzarella cheese, called
Disco Fries in the NJ/NY/PA region - often considered the true new form considering NJ has more diners that any other state and this is where the dish is normally available.
"Welcome to Quebec - would you like to try some poutine today eh? It should be right oot."
"Ugh, I was so trashed last night I couldnt even find my way back to the metro and I wandered around Adams Morgan for like 40 minutes. Thank God I made it back to College Park, because now we can go to Platos and have
hobo fries."
"Yo, I got so fucking fucked up last night. I just barely caught the Path back to
NJT and got home to New Brunzz. Lets peace over to the diner for some fucking
disco fries."
