  • Tony

    I have often thought about Anthony’s last night so many times…as a chef who tried to model my career around his and tried to model my career around his, he was the most inspirational person in my life.

    As someone who has been down the darkest of paths and nights that almost ended up like him, I cannot thank you enough for your honesty and compassion and it has given me enough to keep going to the next day. Thank you
