Mikhail Stognienko and his viewers will explore Russia as it exists far beyond the Moscow Ring Road. Each episode will be an expedition to a different city, where Mikhail will join foreign haute cuisine chef Pierre Carbonara. Together, they will bring back the crown jewel of Pierre's restaurant—a spectacular and expensive dish that costs thousands of rubles in the capital. Will residents of the regions, accustomed to hearty cuisine, be able to appreciate this culinary delight? Their initial reaction, honest and uncompromising, will put many things into perspective.
