Chef Corso is back outdoors. Season 4 of Outdoor Eats premiered on Sunday, 30 August 2026, on FanDuel Sports Network, with three new episodes that pair wild settings with local food culture — and each one doubles as a ready-made trip inspiration.
The season opens in Ireland's west, around Galway and County Clare. Chef Corso works his way along the Atlantic coast from the Aran Islands to the Cliffs of Moher, leaning into the region's food traditions with a focus on potato-inspired dishes. If you've ever wanted a food angle on one of Ireland's most dramatic stretches of coastline, this is it.
Episode two stays closer to home for the chef — Washington State's Olympic Peninsula — but swaps summer sun for a winter adventure. The episode hops between cideries and waterfalls and includes tidepooling at Salt Creek Recreation Area, making the case that the peninsula is worth visiting in the off-season, not just in high summer. For travellers who think the Pacific Northwest shuts down in winter, it's a decent counterargument.
The finale heads to Irvine in Southern California, where the tone shifts to sunshine and singletrack. Expect canyon trails by bike, trailside sushi and visits to local farms — a portrait of a city built around public space, fresh ingredients and easy access to the outdoors. It's a reminder that Orange County is more than beaches and traffic.
Beyond FanDuel Sports Network, season 4 is airing on a long list of channels including Outside TV, Journy TV, NBC Sports, PBS, Marquee Sports Network, Midco, RightNow TV, Waypoint TV and Regional Sports Network, so check local listings for times where you are.
Why it matters for travellers: the show is essentially three short destination briefs. The Ireland episode maps neatly onto a west-coast road trip between Galway, the Aran ferries and the Cliffs of Moher. The Olympic Peninsula segment is a nudge to visit places like Salt Creek and the peninsula's cideries in the quieter months. And the Irvine episode highlights a side of Southern California — farm stands, canyon bike trails — that most visitors skip on their way to LA or San Diego.
If you're the kind of traveller who plans trips around what you eat and how far you can walk before dinner, this season covers a lot of ground in three sittings.
