Back in February, Anthony Bourdain spent a few gluttonous and boozy days in Quebec for his latest episode of "Parts Unknown", which aired Sunday night.

In his passionate ode to the province (Bourdain says Montreal is his favourite Canadian city, so too bad for the foodies in Toronto and Vancouver), the renowned and famously irreverent raconteur takes us on a wild ride of Quebec through the eyes of his Canadian culinary soulmates — Joe Beef's David McMillan and Frederic Morin and Au Pied de Cochon's Martin Picard.
For lovers of Quebec, hockey, foie gras and chartreuse, it was an epic episode with titillating bits of separatist politics, French-Canadian lore and of course...some naughty stuff like stripper talk and the right way to lick maple taffy.
And more importantly, where did they eat? Besides an ice fishing cabin in the middle of nowhere, the hit list included Cabane a Sucre Au Pied de Cochon, Restaurant Le Continental, L'Affaire est Ketchup, Liverpool House, Wilensky's and M Sur Masson.
Bourdain is such a gifted storyteller and so eminently quotable, it's tough to sum up his thoughts or the episode itself using any other words but his own.
