Phil Rosenthal is the Emmy Award-winning creator, writer and executive producer of the hit CBS sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." After the show ended in 2005, Rosenthal took his talents on the other side of the camera to host PBS’ "I'll Have What Phil's Having," which later became Netflix’s "Somebody Feed Phil," a travel food series that takes Rosenthal around the globe and outside of his culinary comfort zone. When I talked to Rosenthal recently about making that switch, he said, "I thought there must be a show for people like me who are even afraid to leave the house, who a step out of their comfort zone is getting off the couch."
In seven seasons of "Somebody Feed Phil," Rosenthal has moved far beyond his couch, enjoying a creative mix of fine dining, street cuisine and local dishes from places as close as Nashville to as far as Dubai. Season 7 offers more with trips to the nation's capital, Mumbai, Iceland and more, where we met with a colorful collection of culinary experts including Chef Kwame Onwuachi, learned the dishes that get CNN's Jack Tapper excited and traded jokes with the legendary, late television executive Norman Lear.
