Nov. 30, 2009 (AOL Weblogs delivered by Newstex) -- Petrossian is
the winner of the Readers' Choice award in the Best Caviar Retailer
category.
Perhaps the most storied of caviar's purveyors, Petrossian traces its
roots to a pair of Armenian brothers who brought their love of roe
from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the edge of the Atlantic in the
1920s. Melkoum and Mouchegh Petrossian migrated from Eastern Europe
to Paris to continue their studies in law and medicine, but found
the City of Light woefully devoid of their favorite Russian delicacy.
Since then, Petrossian has grown to become the premier buyer and
importer of Russian caviar worldwide. Its Tsar Imperial label graces
some of the finest Beluga, Ossetra and Sevruga on the market. To
this day, the company insists that members of the Petrossian family
personally select the best of every Russian caviar catch.
Fortunately for those whose appetite for adventure doesn't outweigh
the appetite for quality caviar, accompanying modern-day Petrossians
on a Russian fishing scow isn't the only way to enjoy their caviar.
The company offers delivery, as well as restaurant locations in Los
Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.
Founded in 1984, New York's Petrossian restaurant is a special treat.
Ideally located for opera goers of discerning taste, it's housed in
the historic Alwyn Court Building on Manhattan's West Side, one block
from Carnegie Hall and four blocks from Lincoln Center. Melkoum and
Mouchegh would most certainly be proud.
