The nominations for the 2024 New York Emmy Awards were announced on Friday, and an episode of Eater’s The Experts was nominated in the Informational/Instructional — Short Form or Long Form Content category.
The Experts series brings audiences behind the scenes of top restaurants across the country. The nominated episode, “How a Legendary NYC Deli and Grocery Store Sells 4,000 Pounds of Fish per Week,” takes viewers into Zabar’s, a popular NYC store and deli known for their coffee and smoked fish. Open since 1934, Zabar’s sells over 4,000 pounds of smoked fish and 8,000 pounds of coffee a week, and Eater’s episode introduces viewers to the many individuals — like general manager Scott Goldshine and fish counter pro Devin Paront, one of “the best slicers in the city” — who make it happen every day. The video has been viewed over one million times and has over 19,000 likes on YouTube.
Eater’s video team has won five New York Emmy Awards, including wins in 2022 and in 2021, both for episodes of Vendors. The winners of the 2024 NY Emmys will be announced on October 26. Watch the full Zabar’s episode here.
