NEW YORK, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Food Network will reprise original
series A Cook's Tour this December, it was announced today by Bob Tuschman,
Senior Vice President, Programming and Production for Food Network. The
series, featuring outspoken chef Anthony Bourdain, returns to Food Network
with a Christmas Day Marathon, airing four back-to-back episodes on
Tuesday, December 25th from 9-11pm ET/PT. The series will then join the
primetime lineup in its new timeslot on Tuesday, January 8th at 10:30pm

share as he takes viewers on a unique tour of our planet," said Tuschman.

series and know they will enjoy Anthony's unique voice and unforgettable
adventures."
A Cook's Tour takes viewers along for a ride with adventurous
chef/writer Anthony Bourdain, as he travels the world in search of rare,
legendary and sometimes dangerous foods. Some of the locales and delicacies
are challenging, others are more familiar -- from the heart of dark
Cambodia to the streets of sun drenched Los Angeles. With a penchant for
the unusual, Bourdain tries most anything put in front of him, whether a
live cobra in Vietnam or ingesting insects while south of the border.
The Christmas Day marathon includes:
9:00pm "So Much Vodka So Little Time" -- Russia
9:30pm "Dining with Geishas" -- Japan
10:00pm "How to Be a Carioca" -- Brazil
10:30pm "Stuffed like a Pig" -- France
