Though Bourdain was known as a chef, the documentary is not about foods. The restaurateur David Chang says, “It was almost never about the food. It was about Tony learning how to be a better person.”

Bourdain always struggled with addiction issues all over his life. It was an open topic he discussed throughout his career. But an autopsy report revealed that no narcotics were found in his body at the time of his death.
