Somebody Feed Phil Season 7

In this episode we share our love of the documentary, Somebody Feed Phil season 7. There is so much about this show that we adore and look forward to. There is only one problem - now we have to wait until season 8 for more food and adventures with Phil Rosenthal. Listen in to hear our highlights as Phil shares his experiences in Mumbai, Washington D.C., Kyoto, Dubai, Orlando, Iceland, Taipei, and Scotland. Do you watch Phil? Did you catch any of season 7? What was your best highlight? And really - is Ethiopian food still a 'thing' in Washington D.C.? We want to know your take! And really, as Phil would say, "Come on!" "Just try it!"

If you haven't listened to our podcasts before, we use a voice messenger app to share our thoughts with each other to discuss a variety of topics as we go about our day.

BREAKING: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just apologized after Israel bombed an American citizen to death in Gaza while delivering food to starving civilians in a “deconflicted zone.”

NOTE: Netanyahu said the airstrike was “unintentional.”

NOTE: In all, Israel killed a dual US-Canada national, as well as people from Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and a Palestinian, World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore said in a statement.

NOTE: Gore said, “The love they had for feeding people, the determination they embodied to show that humanity rises above all, and the impact they made in countless lives will forever be remembered and cherished.”

NOTE: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it is “conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”

Zomi was one of the earliest employees at World Central Kitchen. She first showed up to volunteer at our WCK kitchen in Guatemala after the Fuego volcano eruption—and became like family. Zomi was effervescent, her spirit of service embodied the greatest aspects of humanity. Anyone who meets Zomi never forgets her huge smile and warm laugh. When others were facing the darkest of moments, Zomi was a shining light of comfort, and the world is a dimmer place without her. 💔 Mook, Twitter

This is Dayman Sobol, a Polish citizen, who works at @WCKitchen World Central Kitchen. He travelled between Arab and foreign countries to provide humanitarian aids. During this war, he decided to travel to the Gaza Strip to help the displaced there, but today Israel took his life.

Dayman worked as the logistics coordinator for the organization The Israeli army killed him inside the jeep, although the jeep had the logo of the international organization. Today's crime is a message to the world that the Israeli army does not discriminate against anyone.

I’ve had the pleasure of eating homemade strawberry shortcake (the original that is a sweet shortbread or biscuit/scone) with tiny wild strawberries. It’s almost unreal how they were sweet, tart, incredibly fragrant and just screaming “STRAWBERRY” in my mouth. The ones at the store? You can put your nose right on the container and still not smell them. You should be able to easily smell them from three feet away.

Same with blueberries. Tiny wild ones burst in your mouth with the sweet-tart essence of blueberry. Store bought are huge, pretty, and flavorless mush.

I watch Mark Wiens, Phil Rosenthal on Feed Phil, Street Food (insert region here), Salt Fat Acid Heat, and pretty much any halfway decent food show. It’s always amazing to me how so called “third world”, “undeveloped” nations can have markets with dozens of types of local fruit and veggies picked that morning - or the day before at the oldest - seafood less than six hours out of the water, meat butchered just a few hours previously.

It’s just so insane how so many of us, especially in “developed” nations like the U.S., think our system for producing, transporting, and selling food is somehow superior.

Learning about edible plants (and eating them) has given me a lot of insight into the problems with the USAmerican food system

It's incredible how a supermarket gives you the sense of being surrounded by immense variety, but it's just the visual noise of advertising. In reality almost everything around you is just corn, wheat, soy, and milk, repackaged and recombined and concealed and re-flavored using additives, over and over and over again.

SOMEBODY FEED PHIL Renewed for Season 7

Netflix today announced the renewal of Somebody Feed Phil, from Emmy, James Beard Award, and Critics Choice Award-winner Phil Rosenthal.  The series, which premiered its sixth season in October 2022, will once again follow Phil on his culinary adventures as he takes in the local cuisine and cultures of cities around the world.  Somebody Feed Phil is produced by Lucky Bastards and Zero Point Zero…

[nivalvixen]

Somebody feed Phil for #moviemonday Phil Rosenthal is best known for creating the show Everybody loves Raymond. This show stars Phil (if you didn't guess that from the title), and he goes around the world meeting people, making friends, and - most importantly - eating food. Phil is such a joy to watch. The foods range from home cooked, comfort food, to the pretentious type serving on a spoon, to the weird and not exactly everyday foods you'd expect or be used to in western civilisation. Phil is always up for eating and he makes everything look like an experience - even those single mouthfuls on a spoon 😂 Meeting the chefs takes you through the work involved in creating these masterpieces, the thought, and artistry. Phil's genuine and open personality is the true star, and it's fun to see more of his family as the series progresses. 9/10 #somebodyfeedphil #tvshow #tvseries #netflix #philrosenthal #tvreview https://www.instagram.com/p/ClMtk6Myrsw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

xx, What’s next?

[llatimeria]

for those out of the loop, Phil Rosenthal is a TV-producer-turned-tv-host who's hosted a few different food-centric shows in which he's traveled the world to try new unique foods. I think he'd be Laios's best friend

for the love of God I hope someone is showing dungeon meshi to Phil Rosenthal

[some-lists]

10 Documentary Series for the Wanderluster

If you’re sick of being stuck indoors and isolated from the rest of the world, you might find yourself binge watching travel documentaries just like me.

I’ve always loved traveling. I’ve been to a handful of places, but there’s so much more out there. These docu-series will make you want to get off your butt and hop on a plane ASAP. Of course, that’s not really an option in this pandemic, but these shows can offer a nice dose of escapism right in your living room.

These are just a few available to stream that I really loved. (Btw, most of these are about food. Because I love food.)

1. Somebody Feed Phil

I love this show. Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal travels to some of the most beautiful locations around the world to try the best foods. He meets with locals, expats, and world renown chefs who show him the best local dishes and their culture. Phil isn’t the best food critic. Most of his commentary consists of, “Mmm, that’s good!” But his cheery, friendly demeanor makes for easy watching as he casually befriends locals in every international city he visits. Oh, and the theme song is killer.

Watch it on: Netflix

2. Street Food: Asia & Latin America

Get ready to be hungry! Made from the same people behind Chef’s Table, this series takes you to a different country in each episode. Street Food: Asia and Street Food: Latin America are actually listed separately on Netflix. But they are essentially two different seasons of the same show. You’ll meet local street chefs who’ve made their living cooking and selling their best comfort foods on the street. They share their stories of hardship, determination, sacrifice, joys, and successes. Each episode has close ups of every dish that will have you salivating.

Watch it on: Netflix

3. Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted

Season One of this National Geographic series is currently available on Disney Plus. We see chef Gordon Ramsay travel to some remote locations, where he not only learns about their local ingredients, but has to forage and hunt them himself. At the end of each episode, we see him face off with a famous chef from each region. It’s beautifully shot with some really breathtaking views of these amazing landscapes. We see the vast Sacred Valley of Peru, majestic glaciers of New Zealand, and tropical blue waters of Hawaii. Now, if only Disney Plus would release the second season.

Watch it on: Disney Plus

4. Down to Earth with Zac Efron

Down to Earth with Zac Efron is not just a feast for the eyes, but a series that will make you think. Zac Efron travels with his friend, Darin Olien, to learn about various methods of sustainable living. We learn about sustainable energy in Iceland, fresh water in France, and blue zone diets in Italy. They also take the time to explore and enjoy the best leisure activities and cuisine in each country.

Watch it on: Netflix

5. Conan Without Borders

Conan Without Borders is a segment of his talk show that is now available on Netflix (but only the first season). Of course, you can still watch more on YouTube, but those videos are cut into shorter segments. Conan’s buffoonery is put to good use as he travels to learn about other people and their countries. His shtick is the clueless, ignorant American abroad. It’s an honesty that’s rewarding, as he shows these countries in a light few Americans get to see. He’s hilarious in each episode as he accidentally (or not so accidentally) offends, but also learns from the locals in each country.

Watch it on: Netflix, YouTube

6. Travel Man: 48 Hours In...

Travel Man has had 10 seasons, and 7 (ish) of them are on Hulu. It’s a recent discovery for me, so I’m still making my way through the episodes. Richard Ayoade travels to a different city with a different celebrity for 48 hours. They do a lot of the typical things the average tourist would do. It features transportation, checking into a hotel (usually on the higher end), seeing the sites, and exploring different foods. Most of the celebrities who join him are British, so I’m not too familiar with them. It probably works better if you know who they are, but it doesn’t matter. Richard Ayoade’s dry humor makes each trip amusing regardless.

Watch it on: Hulu

7. Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father

British comedian Jack Whitehall takes a belated gap year trip with his 70-something year old father. The stark contrast between their personalities make for a very interesting vacation. We go on a real ride with the two as we get to know them and as they grow from the experience. Jack is full of energy and definitely more open minded of the two, but we can also see why his father gets annoyed with him. He’s a big kid and, at times, spoiled. At first Jack’s father comes across as snobby and ignorant, but we learn to laugh at his biting humor and his efforts to connect with Jack. We also get a bit of a different view of each location. We visit eccentric temples in Thailand, watch trained rats search for mines in Cambodia, check out motocross skiing in Germany, and more.

8. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

Seasons 7 and 8 of the late Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations can currently be viewed on Hulu. If you’re a humanitarian at heart, this one is for you. Anthony Bourdain is after truth. He’s not interested in commercialized tourist traps or filtered Instagram photo ops. He’s after the real place, the real people, and the real history. He visits disadvantaged populations around the world. He meets with locals, journalists, and humanitarians in each country. Their conversations are often about poverty, political corruption, and marginalization. But he also has some lighter missions as well. A trip to Naples in search of the real Italian food experience. A discovery of Croatian culinary greatness. A cook off in Tokyo between the world’s greatest chefs. What we see is not always pretty. Sometimes it’s truly upsetting. But sometimes it’s great too. Either way, it’s the truth. What Anthony Bourdain ultimately does is capture the heart of the people, something traveling tourists often overlook.

9. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

I’m not a huge David Chang fan. I’ve only made it through one episode of Ugly Delicious. (It was the curry episode, because I love Indian food.) But I found Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner a much easier watch. It’s a lot more chill. There are only four episodes. (That helps.) He and a celebrity friend tour a different city, try the food, and just chat it up. This series focuses more on location and culture, rather than just the food itself. The personalities of his celebrity guests help provide color and humor to each episode. Kate McKinnon, as always, is a delight.

10. Tales By Light

Tales By Light follows photographers around the world as they capture stunning works of art. This is a must see if you love art, especially photography. Watch humpback whales dance under water in Tonga, the colorful Festival of Holi in India, abandoned desert ghost towns of Namibia, and indigenous cultures of Australia. Season 3 is especially sobering. Photographer Simon Lister and UNICEF ambassador Orlando Bloom travel to Bangladesh to capture portraits of children in need. You’ll marvel at the beauty, but also cry for the less fortunate.

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is an iconic photograph of six United States Marines raising the U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in the final stages of the Pacific War. The photograph, taken by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press on February 23, 1945, was first published in Sunday newspapers two days later and reprinted in thousands of publications. It was the only photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and was later used for the construction of the Marine Corps War Memorial in 1954, which was dedicated to honor all Marines who died in service since 1775. The memorial, sculpted by Felix de Weldon, is located in Arlington Ridge Park, near the Ord-Weitzel Gate to Arlington National Cemetery and the Netherlands Carillon. The photograph has come to be regarded in the United States as one of the most significant and recognizable images of World War II.

The flag raising occurred in the early afternoon, after the mountaintop was captured and a smaller flag was raised on top that morning. Three of the six Marines in the photograph—Sergeant Michael Strank, Corporal Harlon Block, and Private First Class Franklin Sousley—were killed in action during the battle; Block was identified as Sergeant Hank Hansen until January 1947 and Sousley was identified as PhM2c. John Bradley, USN, until June 2016. The other three Marines in the photograph were Corporals (then Privates First Class) Ira Hayes, Harold Schultz, and Harold Keller; Schultz was identified as Sousley until June 2016 and Keller was identified as Rene Gagnon until October 2019. All of the men served in the 5th Marine Division on Iwo Jima.

The Associated Press has relinquished its copyright to the photograph, placing it in the public domain.

There were two American flags raised on top of Mount Suribachi, on February 23, 1945. The photograph Rosenthal took was actually of the second flag-raising, in which a larger replacement flag was raised by different Marines than those who raised the first flag.

Photographs of the first flag flown on Mount Suribachi were taken by Staff Sergeant Louis R. Lowery of Leatherneck magazine, who accompanied the patrol up the mountain, and other photographers afterwards.

Raising the First Flag on Iwo Jima by SSgt. Louis R. Lowery, USMC, is the most widely circulated photograph of the first flag flown on Mt. Suribachi. Left to right: 1st Lt. Harold Schrier (kneeling behind radioman's legs), Pfc. Raymond Jacobs (radioman reassigned from F Company), Sgt. Henry "Hank" Hansen wearing cap, holding flagstaff with left hand), Platoon Sgt. Ernest "Boots" Thomas (seated), Pvt. Phil Ward (holding lower flagstaff with his right hand), PhM2c. John Bradley, USN (holding flagstaff with both hands, his right hand above Ward's right hand and his left hand below.), Pfc. James Michels (holding M1 Carbine), and Cpl. Charles W. Lindberg (standing above Michels).

Rosenthal's photograph was used as the basis for C. C. Beall's poster Now... All Together for the Seventh War Loan Drive (14 May - 30 June 1945).

Rosenthal's photograph won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Photography, the only photograph to win the prize in the same year it was taken.

News pros were not the only ones greatly impressed by the photo. Navy Captain T.B. Clark was on duty at Patuxent Air Station in Maryland that Saturday when it came humming off the wire in 1945. He studied it for a minute, and then thrust it under the gaze of Navy Petty Officer Felix de Weldon. De Weldon was an Austrian immigrant schooled in European painting and sculpture. De Weldon could not take his eyes off the photo. In its classic triangular lines he recognized similarities with the ancient statues he had studied. He reflexively reached for some sculptor's clay and tools. With the photograph before him he labored through the night. Within 72 hours of the photo's release, he had replicated the six boys pushing a pole, raising a flag. Upon seeing the finished model, the Marine Corps commandant had de Weldon assigned to the Marine Corps until de Weldon was discharged from the navy after the war was over.

Starting in 1951, de Weldon was commissioned to design a memorial to the Marine Corps. It took de Weldon and hundreds of his assistants three years to finish it. Hayes, Gagnon, and Bradley, posed for de Weldon, who used their faces as a model. The three Marine flag raisers who did not survive the battle were sculpted from photographs.

The flag-raising Rosenthal (and Genaust) photographed was the replacement flag/flagstaff for the first flag/flagstaff that was raised on Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945. There was some resentment from former Marines of the original 40-man patrol that went up Mount Suribachi including by those involved with the first flag-raising, that they did not receive the recognition they deserved. These included Staff Sgt. Lou Lowery, who took the first photos of the first flag flying over Mt. Suribachi; Charles W. Lindberg, who helped tie the first American flag to the first flagpole on Mount Suribachi (and who was, until his death in June 2007, one of the last living persons depicted in either flag-flying scene), who complained for several years that he helped to raise the flag and "was called a liar and everything else. It was terrible" (because of all the recognition and publicity over and directed to the replacement flag-raisers and that flag-raising); and Raymond Jacobs, photographed with the patrol commander around the base of the first flag flying over Mt. Suribachi, who complained until he died in 2008 that he was still not recognized by the Marine Corps by name as being the radioman in the photo.

The original Rosenthal photograph is currently in the possession of Roy H. Williams, who bought it from the estate of John Faber, the official historian for the National Press Photographers Association, who had received it from Rosenthal. Both flags (from the first and second flag-raisings) are now located in the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

Ira Hayes, following the war, was plagued with depression brought on by survivor guilt and became an alcoholic. His tragic life, and death in 1955 at the age of 32, were memorialized in the 1961 motion picture The Outsider, starring Tony Curtis as Hayes, and the folk song "The Ballad of Ira Hayes", written by Peter LaFarge and recorded by Johnny Cash in 1964. Bob Dylan later covered the song, as did Kinky Friedman. According to the song, after the war:

Then Ira started drinkin' hard Jail was often his home They'd let him raise the flag and lower it Like you'd throw a dog a bone! He died drunk early one mornin' Alone in the land he fought to save Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Was a grave for Ira Hayes.

Rene Gagnon, his wife, and his son visited Tokyo and Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima during the 20th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima in 1965. After the war, he worked at Delta Air Lines as a ticket agent, opened his own travel agency, and was a maintenance director of an apartment complex in Manchester, New Hampshire. He died while at work in 1979, age 54.

Rosenthal's photograph has been reproduced in a number of other formats. It appeared on 3.5 million posters for the seventh war bond drive. It has also been reproduced with many unconventional media such as Lego bricks, butter, ice, Etch A Sketch and corn mazes.

The Iwo Jima flag-raising has been depicted in other films including 1949's Sands of Iwo Jima (in which the three surviving flag raisers make a cameo appearance at the end of the film) and 1961's The Outsider, a biography of Ira Hayes starring Tony Curtis.

In July 1945, the United States Postal Service released a postage stamp bearing the image. The U.S. issued another stamp in 1995 showing the flag-raising as part of its 10-stamp series marking the 50th anniversary of World War II. In 2005, the United States Mint released a commemorative silver dollar bearing the image.

A similar photograph was taken by Thomas E. Franklin of the Bergen Record in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks. Officially known as Ground Zero Spirit, the photograph is perhaps better known as Raising the Flag at Ground Zero, and shows three firefighters raising a U.S. flag in the ruins of the World Trade Center shortly after 5 pm. Painter Jamie Wyeth also painted a related image entitled September 11th based on this scene. It illustrates rescue workers raising a flag at Ground Zero. Other iconic photographs frequently compared include V–J day in Times Square, Into the Jaws of Death, Raising a flag over the Reichstag, and the Raising of the Ink Flag.

The highly recognizable image is one of the most parodied photographs in history. Anti-war activists in the 1960s altered the flag to bear a peace symbol, as well as several anti-establishment artworks. Edward Kienholz's Portable War Memorial in 1968 depicted faceless Marines raising the flag on an outdoor picnic table in a typical American consumerist environment of the 1960s. It was parodied again during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 to depict the flag being planted into Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's behind. In the early 2000s, to represent gay pride, photographer Ed Freeman shot a photograph for the cover of an issue of Frontiers magazine, reenacting the scene with a rainbow flag instead of an American flag.Time magazine came under fire in 2008 after altering the image for use on its cover, replacing the American flag with a tree for an issue focused on global warming. The British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association likewise came under criticism in 2010 for a poster depicting employees raising a flag marked "BASSA" at the edge of a runway.

Because life isn’t very fun at the moment, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the world of the Discworld. I adore the Discworld. If you haven’t read any Discworld, I highly, highly recommend you do (but don’t start with ‘The Colour of Magic’...it’s not bad but it’s just not the best introduction).

I’d start with the second Watch book ‘Men at Arms’. It introduces some wonderful characters who become very important in later books (like Angua & Detritus). That or one of the more ‘stand alone’ ones like ‘Small Gods’, ‘Soul Music’ or ‘Monstrous Regiment’. 

Anyway...

I’ve been thinking about casting a live action series. Sky did brilliantly, I thought and I wish they’d carried on. 

So some casting thoughts...

Vetinari - Charles Dance or Mark Gatiss Charles Dance was perfect as Vetinari in the Sky adaptation. Mark Gatiss would be equally awesome...or as Mr Bent. 

Drumknott - Steve Pemberton Steve Pemberton was awesome as Drumknott. I honestly can’t think of anyone who would be more perfect. 

C.M.O.T Dibbler - Reece Shearsmith Keeping a little with the League of Gentlemen theme, Reece Shearsmith would either be perfect as Dibbler or as a one-off character like Mr Pin. 

Lady Sybil - Philippa Haywood  Lady Sybil is a tricky cast. Gwendolyn Christie would be perfect if she was 20yrs older, Miranda Hart is an option but I still think she’s too young. Philippa Haywood is too slim, but I can absolutely picture her with a dragon under each arm.

Sam Vimes - Peter Capaldi Vimes is also a tricky cast. Pete Postlethwaite was perfectly cast as Vimes in the radio series so you need someone like him...and Capaldi is such a phenomenal actor it would be awesome.

Carrot - Matthew Lewis He might not have red hair but think about it. 

Colon - Paul Ritter or Phil Davis Either would be brilliantly, more Paul Ritter I think but I could definitely see him as Colon.

Nobby - Ryan Sampson Nobby is so bloody hard but Ryan Sampson played Grumio in ‘Plebs’ so think of his performance in that + make up. 

William de Worde - Eddie Redmayne I wondered if he’d make a better Moist but then I thought about William de Worde. Seriously, think about it.

Sacharissa Cripslock - Charlotte Ritchie Tricky again (all the female characters are tricky, tbh) but Charlotte Ritchie is a brilliant comic actress. 

Otto - Mackenzie Crook or Chris Addison More Chris Addison really, but Mackenzie Crook has the physicality which would make him a perfect vampire. 

Moist - Tom Rosenthal It’s easy to forget that Moist is fairy young and is supposed to be a little bit non-descriptive. Tom Rosenthal is a fantastic comic actor.

Adorabella Dearheart - Michaela Coel I really struggled here. Michaela Coel is such an amazing actress and how utterly amazing would she be as Adorabella? 

Mr Bent - Mark Gatiss or Mark Heap Either would be perfect, Mark Heap is a natural clown so it might give it away but if Mark Gatiss isn’t going to be Vetinari then he would be perfect as Mr Bent. 

All Golems with voices - Roger Allam (yes, this includes Gladys). I don’t think I have to say anything xD

I have no idea about Angua or Detritus. It goes without saying that Nanny Ogg is Jo Brand or Miriam Margolyes and Magrat is Jane Horrocks. Little unsure about Granny Weatherwax. 

People who should be cast include Olivia Coleman, Stephen Mangan and Geoffrey McGiven (Ridcully?) but there’s so many characters they could be it’s hard to pick.

I was looking for something light to watch to help me sleep (what else is new) and started watching Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. It's your basic 'white guy travels and eats' show, starring Phil Rosenthal who was one of the producers of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Overall, it's pretty light fluff, with occasionally charming moments, beautiful food, and beautiful locations. He has a very expressive face that makes me laugh when he tastes things.

It is a bit alarming to watch him so readily and regularly share plates and glasses and utensils with strangers as he eats. The post-covid perspective is really wild. And it does make me miss travel a little bit. But more, it just reminds me that there is a world to get back to at some point. And I feel like focusing ahead is a little helpful right now when I feel so trapped in the postage stamp of my life and neighborhood.

Someday soon, tumblr friends, weekend in Montreal.

Art + food + booze + friends = happiness.

On Wednesday night, I moderated a Quibi panel on Darren Criss’ shortform musical series Royalties for the Society of Composers and Lyricists that included Criss, his partner Nick Lang, and none other than Mark Hamill, who puts on his best country crooner voice to sing “Mighty as Kong” in his guest shot. It’s a tune about the famous giant Gorilla’s, uh, shortcomings and how men should be heartened by it. It’s catchy. It is from the fourth episode of the series and runs about seven minutes but has separately spawned a full music video as well. Criss and Hamill were particularly high on the line: “I’m an American man singing an American song taking an American stand on my American dong.” This is one of the ten songs in the 10-episode series written by Criss and team that are vying for some Emmy action in the Best Song category. An album is coming. Criss, an Emmy winner two years ago for The Assassination of Gianni Versace, actually got his first Emmy nom as a songwriter for “This Time” from Glee. As I told Hamill, it is too bad this wasn’t written for a movie. I would have loved to have seen Luke Skywalker singing “Mighty as Kong” in front of a billion viewers at the Oscars.
