    First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.

    I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.

          I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.

            Usually it’s fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won’t double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that’s what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.
