National Poutine Day History

National Poutine Day seeks to promote the dish comprised of French fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Poutine is a particularly popular dish in the Canadian province of Quebec, but it is enjoyed in many other places as well. Jean-Paul Roy is credited with the origin of poutine. It is believed that he was an early founder as per a copyright certificate from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. He served the combination at his drive-in restaurant Le Roy Jucep in 1964.

National Poutine Day is believed to have been created in 2018 as a promotion for the dish. It is observed annually on April 11th.
