The official trailer has debuted for TONY, director Matt Johnson’s bold new portrait of a young Anthony Bourdain, capturing the chaotic, formative summer that set him on the path toward becoming one of the most influential culinary voices of his generation.
Synopsis
Set in the early years before fame, TONY follows a 19‑year‑old Anthony Bourdain as he travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the frenzied, combustible world of a restaurant kitchen. What begins as a summer job becomes a transformative plunge into creativity, excess, ego, and self‑discovery — a season that will shape the course of his life.
The film blends raw humor, emotional honesty, and the anarchic energy of kitchen culture, offering an intimate look at the experiences that forged Bourdain’s voice and worldview.
