EDIT (6/15/20): I'm sad to report, Zamir has cancelled the interview based on advice from his agent. He said he might be able to do it towards the end of the year so hopefully it will still happen. 2020 is continuing its track record of being a very unpredictable and disappointing year.
The universe has such a mysterious way of working sometimes. Some of you may have read my post from a few days ago in remembrance of the second anniversary of Anthony Bourdain’s passing, A Letter To Tony.
I posted links to that tribute to some of my other social media accounts and a few Anthony Bourdain fan pages. Something quite unexpected happened. I connected with none other than Tony’s good friend Zamir Gotta.
Tony always referred to Zamir as an "international man of mystery” but, in reality, he’s a Russian broadcaster, producer, and entrepreneur. He launched his own brand of vodka Zamir also appeared in a multitude of Tony’s shows throughout the years. There was always such a great camaraderie between the two. I can't even begin to fathom how much fun they had. I hope to hear about some of those experiences first-hand on Monday.
Bringing More Eyes To Hive
I’m excited to announce that next Monday I’ll be interviewing Zamir for an article I’m writing about Tony in celebration/remembrance of his upcoming birthday on June 25th. I feel so honored to have this opportunity.
The article will be published right here on Hive and shared across all of Zamir’s social media accounts as well as Tony's fan pages.
Do you have any questions for Zamir about his experiences with Anthony Bourdain?
If so, please drop the question in the comments below and I’ll try my best to ask them. The deadline for question submissions is this Saturday, June 13th at Midnight (EST). Thanks!
With Gratitude,
Eric Vance Walton
