PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A hungry host provides plenty to chew on in this entertaining guide. Taking fans on an all-consuming tour through the first four seasons of his Netflix show, Somebody Feed Phil (think "exactly like Anthony Bourdain, if he was afraid of everything"), Rosenthal serves up a combination companion volume, cookbook, and travelogue. In excursions both international and domestic, the goofy and galloping gourmand highlights tourist destinations from Chiang Mai, Thailand, to Honolulu; reminisces over meals and trips shared with friends; reveals some tasty behind-the-scenes tidbits; and offers up recipes from near and far. From Mexico City comes a recipe for pink mole—a dessert made with hibiscus flowers and various berries—while a trip to Seoul inspires a recipe for the popular summer dish samgyetang, a piping hot ginseng chicken soup. Closer to home, Rosenthal recounts his New York City adventures, including a trek to Peter Luger, before offering up a classic sausage, egg, and cheese inspired by the city's ubiquitous bodegas. And in New Orleans, "the best vegetarian sandwich I've ever had" is a collard green melt from the renowned eatery Turkey and the Wolf. As a bonus, many of the chapters end with a joke from Rosenthal's late father Max, providing a delightful serving of corn. Fans will eat up every bit.
