Quick Boston Poutine report.

[randomness]

While the poutine at the All Star Sandwich Bar in Inman Square doesn't really deserve the name--the fries are shoestring and rather indifferent, and the cheese and gravy are equally wrong--the cheddar cheese fries at Zaftig's in Coolidge Corner are a remarkably good approximation. The fries are coated, and thus a little too crunchy, but otherwise not bad, and the gravy is excellent, though applied a bit too sparingly. It could use a little more cheese, too. But overall, it's not a bad stealth poutine, for Boston.
