How to watch 'Food Stars' season 2 from anywhere

Just because "Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars" isn't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch it when you're abroad. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is NordVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Fox, Sling or another service and watch "Food Stars" season 2.

Can I watch ' Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' season 2 in the U.K.?

No. The (rather limp) U.K. version – 'Future Food Stars' – is available to watch for free on BBC iPlayer. There are two seasons and neither are very spicy. Indeed, the U.K. version has reportedly been cancelled.

If you're visiting the U.K. from the U.S., of you just want access to your usual U.S. streaming services from anywhere, simply download a VPN. We recommend NordVPN for price and performance.

Can I watch 'Food Stars' (U.S) in Australia?

No, but Aussies can watch the excellent Australian version of "Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars," which features the sweary British chef facing off with Boost Juice founder Janine Allis (all 9 episodes are free to watch on 9Now– use a VPN if traveling outside of Oz).

Americans abroad can use a VPN to watch Fox and other streaming/catch-up services from abroad. Again, our in-depth consumer tests show that NordVPN is your best best.
