Netflix ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ Back For Season Five, From Oregon To Spain And In-Between

Feeling hungry? Producer-turned-media star Phil Rosenthal is the perfect culinary maestro to take you worldwide for delicious food, mirth, and a bit of history in Somebody Feed Phil, back for Season 5 on Netflix.

Rosenthal is considered one of Hollywood’s biggest producers (Everybody Loves Raymond). His love of eating and natural charisma have turned this series into a global travelogue where his own family has been included.

Sadly, his mother Helen and father Max are no longer with us, but for several seasons was the bookend to the show where Phil would video chat with them to share his adventures. Their reactions were priceless, and now Phil’s brother Rich Rosenthal is the producer behind the camera.

Host Phil Rosenthal’s season five destinations include the two American Portlands—Maine and Oregon—plus Oaxaca, Helsinki, and Madrid.
