Synopsis

Twenty episodes in one year: that is Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Season 4 (2008), watch online on iFILM.

The show's largest season spans Singapore, Berlin, Vancouver, the Greek Islands, Jamaica, Romania with Zamir, Hawaii, Laos, Tokyo, Spain, Egypt, and a US Southwest road trip. Four episodes define it. New Orleans, three years after Hurricane Katrina, is the sharpest: Bourdain checks whether the city's food culture actually survived, not just whether it looks rebuilt. "Into the Fire" sends him back to Brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan after nearly a decade away — the season's most personal episode by some distance. Colombia documents a country still navigating the long shadow of Pablo Escobar. Saudi Arabia inverts the usual format: a superfan selected by open casting call guides Bourdain through her country.

Twenty episodes is a long run. The four that carry it are worth the rest. Stream Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Season 4 all episodes online on iFILM.
