Parts Unknown - Lost Episodes

Everyone knows about the infamous incomplete Alsace episode of Parts Unknown, in which Bourdain tragically committed suicide during the shoot.

CNN/Zero Point Zero productions will probably never air this for obvious reasons...

The film "Roadrunner" showed a brief clip of that day ... and Bourdain looks awful in it.

For me, it's totally understandable why this will probably never see the light of dawn.


However, it seems during the 12th season there is also an unaired "Florence" Italy episode which also features his then girlfriend Asia Argento.

I believe scenes from the Florence episode are also shown in the Morgan Neville's movie "Roadrunner", when he and Asia are in the Uffizi Gallery and looking at the portrait of Judith beheading Holofernes and of Medusa.

This episode was also most likely pulled from distribution due to the crazy details of Asia Argento that were revealed after Bourdain's death. I'm hopeful that this episode might be released someday ...

For me, I suppose it's nice to know that there ARE some unaired Parts Unknown episodes still out there ... (which we could potentially see someday!)
