A Cook's Tour is a travel and food show that airs on the Food Network. Host Anthony Bourdain visits exotic countries and cities worldwide where hosts treat him to local culture and cuisine.
Two seasons of episodes were produced in 2000 and 2001 and aired first-run in 2001 and 2002 on Food Network. Reruns of the series began airing on Christmas night, 2007, and currently air Tuesday nights at 10:30pm ET in the United States on Food Network (the January 1 show began at 11:00pm).
Bourdain has referred to this series as "my first, stumbling, nascent attempts at making travel/food television" and proclaimed his current series Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations to be vastly superior.
thony Bourdain: As a cook, tastes and smells are my memories, and I'm in search of some new ones. So I'm leaving New York and hoping to have a few epiphanies around the world. I'm looking for extremes of emotion and experience. I'll try anything. I'll risk everything. I have nothing to lose.
