There's an article here about posh poutine: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2014/sep/07/poutine-the-posh-chips-and-gravy-taking-over-the-world
I thought about it while I was away in France. There's an Auvergnat dish called Truffade which could be proto-poutine. It's made from sautéed potatoes mixed with cheese (no gravy) and formed into patties. It's very nice. Gravy of course is mere millimetres away. If you're having your truffade with a steak and a bit of sauce, well there you have it all. Aligot, which is mashed potatoes and cheese, seems to be a close relation, and is very nice with sausages in onion gravy.
