Harvey’s, a popular Canadian fast-food chain, is reintroducing a fan-favorite dish that took the internet by storm: Pickle Pickle Poutine. This time, the poutine returns with a dill-icious upgrade. Known as Triple Pickle Poutine, this revamped version promises to satisfy both pickle enthusiasts and poutine lovers with a new garlic-dill sauce, deep-fried pickles, and diced pickles—taking the pickle experience to a whole new level.
The Evolution of Pickle Poutine
The original Pickle Pickle Poutine was introduced by Harvey’s in 2023, following a viral video in 2022 that garnered nearly 500,000 views and over 3,000 shares. Social media debates erupted over the unconventional addition of pickles to the beloved Canadian classic. While some questioned the fusion, others couldn’t get enough, and the demand led to the dish’s resurgence in 2024 with a bigger pickle punch.
Harvey’s new Triple Pickle Poutine is made with classic Canadian ingredients: cheese curds, golden fries, and rich gravy, topped with deep-fried pickles, diced pickles, and now, a garlic-dill sauce that replaces the original Ranch sauce. This change was driven by customer feedback and a growing trend for adventurous flavors, according to Harvey’s Director of Marketing, Meera Patel.
“We’re ecstatic to bring back Triple Pickle Poutine,” Patel said. “With increased guest desire for adventurous flavors, it made sense to play on those factors. For us, 2024 is the year of pickles, and we intend to keep the momentum going.”
The Pickle Phenomenon
Pickles have long been a beloved garnish, but in recent years, they’ve emerged as a central ingredient in trendy dishes across North America. Restaurants and food brands have embraced this trend, creating everything from pickle-flavored chips to pickle cocktails. Harvey’s Triple Pickle Poutine is tapping into this craze by offering a unique combination that stands out among the growing pickle-infused options in the fast-food industry.
This pickled sensation is available at all Harvey’s locations for a limited time, ending on October 27, 2024. The introduction of garlic-dill sauce adds a new layer of flavor that enhances the overall pickle experience, making it a must-try for anyone craving something new and bold.
