The KD Takeover Poutine consists of a loaded poutine topped with creamy KD, crispy bacon and chives, while the KD Takeover BeaverDog is an all-beef hot dog wrapped in a BeaverTail pastry, topped with KD and ketchup.

This comes after Heinz’ bold menu items, such as a limited-edition Ketchup Poutine for National Poutine Day, suggesting that ketchup belongs on the Quebec-born dish.
