Anthony Bourdain understood that food is political, and his travels were often prescient of cultural events, but perhaps none more than Russia. From A Cook’s Tour until Parts Unknown, Zamir Gotta was always by his side in Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Romania, Georgia, and more. A Russian TV producer, Bourdain coined him an “international man of mystery” as he was viewed as the “fixer,” planning many of Bourdain’s escapades over the years.
