FOOD TV— Anthony Bourdain's dreamy, philosophically minded visit to Shanghai, China wasn't quite the rating bonanza for CNN: According to Deadline, the season-four premiere of Bourdain's travelogue Parts Unknown netted 530,000 viewers, down from the 681,000 viewers that tuned in for the September 2013 premiere of season two. The difference of more than 150K represents a 21 percent drop in viewership, but does not factor in the numbers from those livestreaming the episode on CNN.com. [Deadline]
