Just my opinion as a canadian, I must admit that you are wrong. They skimped out on the curds (which no place in quebec would ever do), put very sad and skinny fries that look barely cooked… The onions are fine I guess, really depends on who’s eating it.
You’re not wrong - It can definitely be improved, and I agree that it should ideally be thick-cut fries and more curds. But as far as “poutine” goes in the USA, I think they’ve passed their test. It’s not an honour-roll poutine, but not a failure either. No shredded cheddar, no “side of gravy”, and the fried onions aren’t a bastardization, just a variation like smoked-meat poutines and such.
