Philip Rosenthal is perhaps best known as being the creator of long-running sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," but since that show went off the air he has gotten more on-camera exposure. In this series, he takes viewers on a goodwill eating tour of the world. Rosenthal -- joined by friends and family -- visits cities that include Tel Aviv, Mexico City, New Orleans and Bangkok to get a taste of the local cuisine and culture at each stop on his journey.

Frankie J @Frankie256 Dec 16 One of the best feel good tv shows ever. Phil is an amazing, funny, human, beautiful storyteller. I always go to try out the places in the tv show when I visit one of the locations in the show. See more Thomas C 03/17/2024 We lost Anthony and got Phil :-( Everything we loved at Anthony Bourdain, this show is not. This guy is so cringeworthy, I wonder, how he can watch himself on TV. No understanding of food, cooking, culture and the worst thing: he somehow thinks, he is funny on camera, and as we are meanwhile in the 7th season, none of his friends has told him otherwise. See more Lala A 03/15/2024 Terrible show. Extremely cringe. This guy has no appreciation of the food or the staff in the restaurants. He constantly cuts off people speaking. See more J T @bluecat 04/15/2023 I admittedly didn't give this show much of a chance - the dumb intro song and his stupid facial expressions made me bow out early. See more 06/14/2022 There was way too much fancy dining in this season. We need to see more shrimp in garlic butter and less chefs that take themselves way too seriously with a mashup of ingredients no one can replicate or afford. I am referring to the chef who adorned a straight jacket in Madrid as a prime example. See more 01/16/2022 Shows the food and history in a respectful way while also being funny. He doesn't try to tell the cooks what to do he listens and appreciates the food while still being honest about his opinions See more Read all reviews
