The feature was produced during a visit by the program’s creative team to Uzbekistan from 12 to 18 September 2025. During this period, the crew explored the historical, cultural, and gastronomic heritage of the capital. The main objective of the project was to promote Uzbekistan’s tourism appeal and increase interest among Russian audiences in traveling to the country.
Renowned Russian chefs Anton Ivnitsky and Eduard Pogosov visited key historical landmarks, including the Kukeldash Madrasah and the central square of the city. During the filming, they became acquainted with national cuisine and also took a hot air balloon flight, offering picturesque aerial views of the capital.
The program highlighted Tashkent’s modern tourist atmosphere and its rich gastronomic diversity. On one of the city’s most famous tourist streets, known as “Broadway,” the chefs prepared signature dishes using local ingredients, with tastings enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
Considering that the audience of “Chefs on Wheels” exceeds 18 million viewers, this episode became an effective tool for promoting Uzbekistan’s tourism potential in the Russian market.
