Foodie and former sitcom writer Phil Rosenthal is coming to San Antonio as part of a multi-city visit to the Lone Star State.
Rosenthal, host of the Netflix food and travel docuseries “Somebody Feed Phil,” is embarking on a mini-tour of Texas early next year. He plans to visit San Antonio, where he’ll participate in a moderated conversation reflecting on and telling stories from his career.
“An Evening with Phil Rosenthal of ‘Somebody Feed Phil‘” is set for Jan. 23 at the Aztec Theatre. Tickets range from $53 to $187.
His other Texas tour stops include Dallas, Austin and Houston.

Rosenthal started in the spotlight as an actor, but turned to production where he had a renowned career creating shows like the CBS hit “Everybody Loves Raymond.”
In 2015, Rosenthal again switched careers to become a food series host. He made his dining host debut with the six-episode PBS series “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having.” That concept was retooled into Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil.”
The docuseries has been a success, with the eighth season released in June. The show features Rosenthal traveling the globe, trying out food specialties and highlighting nonprofits in the cities where he travels. Celebrity guests – like actors Ray Romano and Fran Drescher – often join him at the table.
Despite eight seasons of the show, Rosenthal has featured the Lone Star State only once. During the sixth season, he tried out restaurants in Austin, including Amy’s Ice Creams, The Continental Club and Distant Relatives.
