As Chef Martin Picard says, maple syrup is part of the identity for Québec residents. Prior to Picard, nobody coming from the culinary world had bought a sugar shack — a cabin where maple trees are tapped, and the sap is then collected and boiled down to produce maple syrup.
With their maple syrup, he and his restaurant partner Marc Beaudin take up the challenge of preparing different menus year after year with maple syrup as the all-star ingredient for their restaurant, Au Pied de Cochon Sugar Shack in Montréal. Martin creates a few of his favorite dishes including a White Russian with Maple Marshmallow, Maple Syrup Toffee, and a Meat Pie with Warm Foie Gras Salad that “makes sense [because] it doesn’t make sense.”
Special thanks to Martin, Marc, Philippe, and Vincent of the Cabane à Sucre Au Pied De Cochon, Cabane d’à Côté, and Au Pied De Cochon Restaurant for the support and hospitality.

“The Au Pied de Cochon sugar shack is the traditional meeting place. Close to local producers, the sugar shack is the culinary headquarters. With the mission of sharing, there is an abundant menu with multiple services offering both gourmet and hearty dishes. The chef and his entire team rely on the exploitation of natural resources and local products.”

God Bless Maple Trees & Honeybees. Without them, this world would be a sad, depressed, angry, Hateful place. Honey & Maple Sugar is FAR, FAR, FAR, FAR more valuable than all of current society realizes. Thank You Yeti for making this Video. Props to the 2 Canadian Neighbors for doing what you, and All Maple Tree Farmers, (I think that's their title?) do to give us the gift of maple sugar.
You just know when you’re watching a master of his or her field of work doing their thing. It just looks so easy to them. My mouth is watering. Great video. Merci beaucoup très apprécié!!
Outstanding Video!!! Martin is a treasure. The pride of Quebec and Canada for that matter.
