    #4 - Sturgeon Caviar

    S11:E4

    Did you know that Sturgeon Caviar is one of the most sought after luxury food items in the world?

We meet up with the owner of Wendt’s on the Lake Shawn Wendt as he tours us around and introduces us to Zach and Norb, a team of Caviar makers in Fond du Lac, maybe the last of their kind. Luke also prepares classic Wisconsin Deviled Eggs utilizing Sturgeon Caviar.
