The Best People with Nicolle Wallace S2025E14 - Phil Rosenthal is Hungry… And Subversive

Life can take some pretty unexpected turns. Just ask Phil Rosenthal. The man who brought us "Everybody Loves Raymond" is now a global star in his own right thanks to "Somebody Feed Phil" – Netflix's longest running unscripted original series, a show Phil says boils down to one simple sentence: "I'm just like Anthony Bourdain if Bourdain was afraid of everything". The result is a profound, at times goofy, and utterly relatable exploration of humanity through food. Phil tells Nicolle about his "hero's journey" as a kid from Queens who didn't taste garlic until he was 17 to a world traveler who's trying to get everybody out of their comfort zones one dish at a time. And Phil shares what he's learned along the way: that most people are nice, it's time to replace the manosphere with the "lady-sphere", and diners might just save the world.
