Well, not BCP but the command-line parser. I should have thought about 
that, sorry. I think that you can use \ to escape the quote:

bcp "SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName, quotename(Description, '\"')FROM 
[Northwind].[dbo].[Categories]" queryout outputfile.csv

But it may be simpler to use

   quotename(Description, char(34))

instead, and evading the problem that way.
