I watched this episode back in 2012 and literally flew to China to try and find this restaurant. I never found the restaurant, but got an English teaching job and lived there till 2018. It was amazing how much one episode of a tv show inspired me to fly to the other side of the earth

Peking duck skin (no meat on it) dipped in granulated cane sugar is pure heaven! Serve like this in Beijing. Then you have meat with skin, and meat only (for the crepes of course). Vegans are missing out on this ultra delicious foodie favorite.

Anthony Bourdain knew exactly what he was doing when it comes to cooking duck in anyway. Even if it was just using the oil on something else. For the fat, or just frying up a little bit of rest. Can you exactly what was going on. And he knew it from the stoners point of you, meaning he knew exactly what was really good. I didn’t need to be elegant, although he could do that. It just needed to be something you could feast like it was a day of celebration. Hahahahaha indeed it’s good. #ItsGood.

A good roast duck is incredible!! Most people I know don't order it, usually because they haven't had a good roasted duck. But when you find a place that does it right- get it!! And like Anthony says- it doesn't need anything else- just the meat and skin- dripping with liquified fat goodness... I feel my blood pressure rising thinking about it.

iwasborntobefly is correct. Human beings can adapt to almost any taste. And we all have choices to get simple pleasures in life. For now, I like my duck. I also love my fruits and veggies. I take public transport, hardly buy anything new, walk alot, and don't own a car. So I'll take my pound of flesh for now and others may take a gallon of petrol.

...the duck goes through an elaborate process of being lacquered with molasses, pumped with air, filled with boiling water, then roasted over an open fruitwood fire... Amazing!
