I love the way Andrew communicates with his host, he’s wholly focused on the dialogue at hand and expresses his palette concisely without embellishment. Thank you Mr. Zimmerman for an excellent food discovery guide.

Andrew Zimmerman could not be more suitable for this role. He is so eloquent and mannered, his descriptive language perfect for the food critic. Hi timely eulogy to the late Anthony Bourdain was one of the most poignant pieces I’ve ever read.

That's what I was thinking...someone stole my caviar spoons. 🙏
I noticed something strange. It's said you NEVER use metal utensils when serving/eating caviar because it badly affects the fish eggs...and yet...there is a big metal spoon in the caviar container, the waiter is making the tasting plate with metal utensils, and Andrew is eating it with a metal spoon and fork.

We saw this segment on Andrew's TV show quite some time ago. This brings back fond memories. My wife and I took a business trip with two dozen others to Leningrad, Russia, while still Soviet Communist prior to it reverting back to St. Petersburg. It was 1990. The beluga was fantastic but the Osetra Karat Amber Russian Caviar was the absolute to-die-for favorite of most of us. From Israel, today, it comes so close to the Russian variety back then, that I find no differentiation.

We never over fished we always fished what we needed never how it is today.. the problem is people who have no native sturgeon still have a demand for their eggs so u get a population across the globe searching for a product exclusive to certain environments.. if everyone ate what naturally occurred around them We wouldn’t have a problem with over fishing and over using.. even when we fished salmon we only fished the body of the runs, we allowed the head and tail of the runs to hit the headwaters for spawning which insured species to survive for 100,000+ years vs now how everything just disappeared.. doubt it was our fault buddy just he honest and understand your ancestors egos and the greed of today are killing the populations of the earth

@@haroldcroy922 Sturgeons ARE endangered though. These fish reach sexually maturity at around 20 years old and yet when they spawn, people are taking the egg sacs for the sake of gourmet luxury. Its a status symbol, a stupid one at that. Like think about, its just salted fish eggs. Sturgeon that caviar comes from ranges from vulnerable to CRITICALLY endangered. Only ONE type is nowhere near that range. Its to the point where farm caviar is the new norm because its cheaper to farm raise fish but people still want and demand the "wild caught" type. Its the extremely delicate balance between survival for humans and the survival for nature that we really need to worry about (Hello? WE SEE CLIMATE CHANGE EVERY DAY). And while people try to do both, it just goes to show that as humans, there is no such thing as "cruelty free" in our diets.

Wow that tasting plate looks absolutely delicious I would love to try that 😋 💯
I tried for a long time to find caviar of good quality and at a good price - in the end I opted for Lembreg caviar, and was very pleased. This year I have tried sturgeon caviar for the first time in my life and now it is my favorite caviar.

The problem with good bread is that it can also alter the taste of the fish eggs. You want a carrier for the ingredient you want to highlight, not compete with it

Who was using the metal or silver spoon in the kitchen (with the caviar)?
Might be that Mr. Zimmern has more experience or just better taste than many other bloggers, might be that he's just better in describing what he tastes. Anyway he's convincing.
When he was eating the beef stroganoff I didn’t even see him use any sour cream
OMG, from the moment in which he put the metal spoon in the caviar tin, he ruined all....
He gets the sampler plate and only uses the sour cream lol

If I had 3 ounces of caviar, I'd stretch it out with lots of tiny bites, a few grams each, letting a few eggs linger on the tongue at a time. Don't know how you can just wolf it down, the whole dish, in a few bites.
Exactly. All over the world we are taught never to use a metal spoon when serving caviar. Only mother of pearl spoon or solid gold is acceptable yet all over the net they use a metal spoon !

Why on earth they are using metal spoon for caviar?
Those are some very expensive fish eggs. And for every teaspoon full eaten, there are 15 less sturgeon in the sea, can't say I see the logic in that, given the state of things.
Where is did he found Step in north Eastern Russia?
My caviar is the white clump that comes from the fired smelt.
I hate Canadian dark cold winters and while this film looks inviting even Canafian summers are too short.
