We continue to taste Uzbek dishes and walk around ancient sights. Together with the chef, we will find out how Samarkand pilaf differs from other types of pilaf, evaluate the shurpa in a restaurant that serves only it, visit Tamerlane's tomb, walk around the bazaar, try hairy halva and other sweets, find out what halisa is, what lamb "light bulbs" taste like and why the kebab is called "Napoleon". And we will also choose a chef's knife made of real Damascus steel and a miracle carpet!

Alexander Belkovich is in the capital! He will have to complete an almost impossible task: from more than 20 thousand metropolitan establishments, choose only a few of the most interesting ones. Let's also summarize the shawarma challenge for the second season of the show.
