However, chef Callie Speer created a gourmet poutine dish for hungry customers to enjoy in the early hours of the morning. Traditional poutine is composed of [French fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifis-fry-co), gravy and creamy cheese curds. Speer gives the classic Canadian dish a Texas-style makeover by adding goat meat, Tabasco sauce and a fried egg. The combination of french fries and a fried egg make the dish taste similar to a [classic diner-style breakfast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cracker-barrel-breakfast-burger). Moreover, the addition of goat meat offers a luxurious alternative to [traditional bacon and sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-sausage-breakfast-chimichanga). Although the dish may seem extravagant, the hearty breakfast poutine is an excellent alternative for those who have grown tired of basic bacon and eggs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gourmet Breakfast Poutines:** This trend explores the creation of gourmet poutine dishes for breakfast, providing a unique twist on a classic Canadian dish. - **Texas-style Makeovers:** This trend involves giving traditional dishes a Texan twist, such as adding goat meat and Tabasco sauce to poutine, creating new and exciting flavor combinations. - **Luxurious Breakfast Alternatives:** This trend focuses on offering upscale alternatives to traditional breakfast ingredients like bacon and sausages, using ingredients such as goat meat to elevate the breakfast experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the creation of innovative breakfast dishes, like gourmet breakfast poutines, to attract new customers and cater to changing tastes. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can capitalize on the Texas-style makeover trend by incorporating unique twists on classic dishes, like gourmet breakfast poutines, to set themselves apart from competitors and attract breakfast crowd. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can offer luxurious breakfast alternatives, such as gourmet breakfast poutines with goat meat, to cater to high-end clientele looking for unique and indulgent breakfast experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizzeria Poutine Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-pizza-poutine.md) - [Poutine-Stuffed Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poutine-dip-sandwich.md) - [Spicy Pizzeria Poutines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-popcorn-chicken-poutine.md) - [Quick-Prep Poutine Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poutine-bites.md) - [Indulgent Fried Pickle Poutines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-pickle-poutine.md) - [Canadiana QSR Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadiana-donut-menu.md) - [Potato Breakfast Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oeb-breakfast-co.md) - [Frozen Poutine Poppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poutine-popper.md) - [Indulgent Breakfast Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pur-simple.md)
