Tony and Zamir team up for a trip to the former Soviet Republic, the Ukraine. They first head to Crimea, a peninsula along the Black Sea that served as a vital strategic port for the Soviet Union. Once a top-secret hub for nuclear Soviet submersibles, the port is now a museum. Over a seaside meal of typical Zakuski cuisine, they discuss the dangers of their next destination, Chernobyl. Now a radiated ghost town, Pripayat is littered with decaying remnants of human life and will remain uninhabitable for the next 24,000 years. From here the pair carry on to celebrate Victory Day in Kiev's Independence Square. They enjoy green borscht, a staple in Ukrainian dining, beef dumplings and bacon-wrapped chicken liver. Afterwards, Zamir explores his Crimean roots when he and Tony visit Salachick in the mountain village of Bakhchisaray. Here Tony and Zamir discover traditions such as chickpea soup, bread, dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), lamb chops, and a flaky meat pie known as ciborek. After visiting Kiev's hundred-year old food market, Tony concludes his Ukrainian adventure with some American fast-food faire at McFoxy, a counterfeit McDonald-like chain.
