While we can't fully take advantage of it at the moment, Montrealers know we live in one of world's best culinary cities — and, now, everyone who watches the Food Network knows it too because three Montreal restaurants were featured on Big Food Bucket List this season, which aired between September 2020 and January 2021.

It's always fun to watch local content on TV, but even more fun knowing that when you get hungry, which will inevitably happen, all you have to do — barring sad COVID-19 closures — is pick-up your phone and order your own taste of the dish you see on screen.
