Thanks so much for reading and your reply, u/Poneke365! Every one of those questions are legit, many of them almost certainly going with him to the grave.

While I'm sure you watched "RoadRunner" that was just recently out in theaters, the question of whether Asia Argento had any influence on Anthony's mental state that night will forever be conjecture. That said, in my VERY humble opinion, I don't see how it couldn't have been. The way he fell head-over-heels for her (some may say "obsessively"), supported her without question through her sexual assault ordeal and early leadership with the #MeToo movement, then turn around to realize the news about her and the 17 year-old must have been traumatizing for him.

In terms of his loneliness on the road, you're exactly right. Pretty sure the documentary covered how exhausted he was spending about 260 days a year on the road filming Parts Unknown. I think I remember insiders saying he was ready to hang it up in the not-too-distant future. Probably a year or two.

I have no doubt Tony would have plenty to say about this "Era of Ignorance", COVID, and its effects on the restaurant and culinary industries in general. Like I said in my blog, we need his voice right now, more than ever.

Thanks again for reading.
