Somebody Feed Phil

Somebody Feed Phil is an American travel documentary television series presented by Philip Rosenthal that premiered on Netflix in January 2018. Each episode follows Rosenthal touring the cuisine of its featured city, and spotlights charities and non-profit organizations that operate in the region.

In May 2019, Netflix announced that it had renewed Somebody Feed Phil for a third season, which was released in May 2020. A fourth season, shot back-to-back with the third, was released in October 2020. The fifth season was released in May 2022. The show was also renewed for a sixth season, which was filmed back-to-back with season 5. In January 2023, the show was renewed for a seventh season, which was released in March 2024. In July 2024, it was renewed for season 8 which was released on 18 June 2025. In March 2026, it was announced that the series would leave Netflix and continue on YouTube starting in 2027 as part of a deal between Rosenthal and Banijay Entertainment.

The show is a spiritual successor to Rosenthal's previous show on PBS, I'll Have What Phil's Having. When Rosenthal moved the program from PBS to Netflix, a theme song recorded by the band Lake Street Dive was added to the opening. Phil's brother Rich Rosenthal serves as executive producer and showrunner of the series, and sometimes appears on camera to sample food at Phil's urging.

Near the end of each episode during the first two seasons, Rosenthal makes a video call to his parents, Max and Helen, relating to them his culinary discoveries, after which Max tells his son a joke. After Helen's death in 2019, Max continued to appear in the segment for the next two seasons until his death in 2021. From the fifth season, Rosenthal would call a different guest each episode, which have included his son Ben, Everybody Loves Raymond stars Brad Garrett and Ray Romano, Ted Danson, Fran Drescher, Judy Gold, Gilbert Gottfried, Patton Oswalt, Paul Reiser, and Mel Brooks, to continue the tradition. A tribute episode dedicated to Max and Helen aired as part of the sixth season.

A companion cookbook to the series, Somebody Feed Phil: The Book, was released in October 2022.
