It was about six weeks ago when my friend Karen Howell recommended a show called Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. Thanks to the pandemic, I had pretty much watched everything else on Netflix and decided to give it a try. And, listen, I’m so glad I did.
It is the most delightful show and the perfect thing to watch as we watch the world go crazy. Phil Rosenthal is a delight. In each episode he travels to a new location to eat at various restaurants, but – even more importantly – he connects with the people in that city. He leads with love and grace and, frankly, we could use a lot more of that.
So when Sophie reached out to him and he agreed to be a guest on the podcast, we couldn’t have been more excited. He was everything we hoped he would be and more. So funny and charming. I give this episode all the thumbs up.

I just found this show thanks to you two. I can’t believe he’s on the podcast! and I’m going to listen to it first thing this morning on my walk! I watch Everybody Loves Raymond and I can now see Phil’s influence on the show. What a treat you have for us with him as a guest. Y’all are amazing!
Well done ladies! Most excellent interview with Phil! We’ve been watching his food/travel shows since the PBS days and are so excited when new episodes drop. My mom loves the shows also! I’ve been listening to your podcasts for about 6 years, I think. (I’m one of those who went back and listened to all of them from #1! I learned about you from Pioneer Woman’s website way back when.)
Anyway, may I just say:
Phil Rosenthal is 2020’s Mr. Rogers. (You can quote me on that.)
Keep calm and interview on….
My husband and I have been loving Somebody Feed Phil! We always comment that he has to be just the best person to travel with because he’s so open, engaging, accepting, enthusiastic, etc. It is just a delight to watch him eat and interact with people all over the world and country.
