July 2025 NOTE: The original post description below with GoTraveler web portal links, and GoTraveler YouTube links is kept intact for historical reference - unfortunately, GoTraveler's YouTube videos remain unchanged in terms of Australian viewer access since July 2022 -> July 2025.
Anthony Bourdain's very first show that launched his career as a food / world-travel show host on the Food Network - A Cook's Tour(imdb.com) (2002-2003) - has recently been made available in its entirety (2 seasons, 35 episodes(en.wikipedia.org)) for FREE streaming access on the GoTraveler.com website(video.gotraveler.com) - [sources: openculture.com(openculture.com), outlookindia.com(outlookindia.com)]
- Outside of the physical DVD release - and unless there is a current streaming service that allows users to readily access older Food Network programmes such as A Cook's Tour that I'm not aware of - then AFAIK, no other streaming content service/platform seems to have this particular show at this time
ALL 35 episodes can be played directly on the web browser whilst on the GoTraveler website:
- no user signup/login required
- no geo-blocking restrictions
- episodes are only up to 480p viewable up to 1080p HD resolution (confirmed 21/07/2022)
- NOTE: GoTraveler says that all of its content can be viewed on various devices/platforms(video.gotraveler.com) e.g. Roku, Apple mobile devices, Apple TV, Android devices
Alternatives - Free streaming on GoTraveler's YouTube channel(youtube.com) - but somewhat problematic [1] [2]
[1] GoTraveler's YouTube playlist #1 - Anthony Bourdain: A Cook's Tour - 480p(youtube.com)
- These YouTube videos are up to 480p only
- As at July 2025 2022, there are geo-blocking restrictions on 21 (out of 35) episode videos for Australian visitors to this YouTube playlist, meaning there are only 14 visibly selectable episodes for Australian viewers
- You may have to resort to using a VPN service with a non-Australian IP address (e.g. USA) in order to view all 35 episodes
[2] GoTraveler's YouTube playlist #2 - Anthony Bourdain: A Cook's Tour - 4K(youtube.com)
- These are 4K versions of Anthony Bourdain: A Cook's Tour episodes
- As at July 2025 2022, only the first 7 episodes of Season 1 have been uploaded (however S01E01 "A Taste of Tokyo" seems to be geo-blocked for Australian visitors)
- Hopefully the rest of the remaining Season 1 and Season 2 episodes will be uploaded (in 4K resolution) in the future
