Discovered "Somebody Feed Phil" about a month back, we love that show ... [View all]
Phil Rosenthal (creator of Everybody Loves Raymond) travels all over the world to taste local cuisines, a lot of it is high-end gourmet stuff, but by no means all. Phil is willing to eat friggin ANYthing lol.
A lot of good human interest bits woven in, and he's just a really funny, affable guy. The New Orleans episode was a favorite of ours.
He zoom's with his elderly parents in NY at the end of every episode (well, not so much in the last couple seasons) and they're cute and amusing folks.
Beautiful camera work, amazing locales, lots of nice folks, and a ton of food porn.
Although it gets a little 'samey' after awhile, it's perfect for watching a couple episodes sipping your coffee on a weekend morning, spreading it out over time as we've done.
Netflix, BTW
Fifth Season released in May 2022, and a 6th is on the way.
Oh, and small PSA, there's a good amount of drinking on the show. Maybe not the best viewing choice if you're presently struggling to abstain
Lastly, there's a lot of internet posts bashing Phil himself as host, calling him phony and the like. Keep in mind he's a very obviously liberal Jewish New Yorker, and the show has a decidedly liberal bent as a whole. I love the guy, myself, and don't find him at all phony. Some people out there I think just can't believe someone is THAT nice. But if he IS a big phony, his acting skills are great. He even fools his own parents.
