Overview

• Season 8 of ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ premiered June 18 with nine episodes that take Rosenthal to Amsterdam, Tbilisi, Manila, Boston and other destinations.
• His annual checkup revealed dangerously high cholesterol, leading to doctor-ordered fasting and a strict reduction of bread, sugar and late-night snacks.
• Rosenthal is teaming with chef Nancy Silverton on a Los Angeles diner focused on elevated comfort food—from top-quality eggs and home fries to classic coffee service.
• Since Netflix picked up the series in 2018 after a PBS debut, it has become the streamer’s longest-running non-scripted original, granting Rosenthal wide creative freedom.
• The show has boosted business at featured eateries and supports community-building through the Rosenthal Family Foundation’s food initiatives.
