Putting a classic Canadian side dish directly onto the burger, the Carl's Jr. Poutine Thickburger is an indulgent new menu offering from Carl's Jr. Canada that is available exclusively in Canada. The burger consists of a Black Angus beef patty that has been charbroiled before being topped with seasoned criss-cut fries, traditional poutine gravy, cheese curds, peppercorn bacon and finally potato chips.
QSRs are often looking for ways to take traditional menu offerings and give them a cultural spin that makes them more applicable for the respective market they are in.
