Netflix UK and Ireland have added all eight seasons of chef Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown.
The CNN original series followed the much-loved Bourdain as he travelled to extraordinary locations around the globe to sample a variety of cuisines.
In season one alone Bourdain visited Myanmar in Asia, Koreatown in LA, Tangier in Morocco, the Congo, several regions of Columbia and post-war Libya. He also travelled across Canada by rail and searched the indigenous Andes to find a rare variety of wild Cocoa.
On June 8 of this year, news broke that Bourdain at 61 had taken his own life whilst filming Parts Unknown in France.

Speaking to Hot Press’s Stuart Clark in 2001, Bourdain said: “I can’t live without the unique buzz you get from a kitchen. What I love about the business is that you get thrown together in a small, high-pressure environment with people of every background, personal predilection and history. Somehow, though, you find common ground and become extraordinarily close in a battlefield sort of way. That feels great.”
Parts Unknown is streaming now.
