Somebody Feed Phil with Phil Rosenthal Returns with Ten New Episodes
(Sunday, May 19, 2019 - Los Angeles, CA) Netflix announced today new and returning series during its FYSEE Food Day at Raleigh Studios. The food-centric slate of programming includes The Chef Show, a new series from Jon Favreau and Roy Choi; new volumes of Netflix’s longest-running documentary series, Chef’s Table; and new episodes of Somebody Feed Phil featuring Phil Rosenthal.
The Chef Show
Cooking is a journey. And making a meal is about more than just food. It’s about appreciating friends, family and tradition. An opportunity to come together. To learn, to share and to celebrate different flavors, cultures and people. In The Chef Show actor/director Jon Favreau and award-winning Chef Roy Choi reunite after their critically acclaimed film Chef to embark on a new adventure. The two friends experiment with their favorite recipes and techniques, baking, cooking, exploring and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the entertainment and culinary world. From sharing a meal with the Avengers cast in Atlanta, to smoking brisket in Texas with world-renowned pitmaster Aaron Franklin, to honoring the legendary food critic Jonathan Gold in Los Angeles - Favreau and Choi embrace their passion for food, but more importantly their love for bringing people together over a delicious meal.
Guests on The Chef Show include: Gwyneth Paltrow, Bill Burr, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Holland, Kevin Feige, and the Russo brothers, Andrew Rea, Evan Kleiman, Jazz Singsanong, Robert Rodriguez, David Chang, Aaron Franklin and many more.
“During the production of Chef, I developed a much deeper understanding of the ways in which we express our emotions, share our cultures and seek meaningful connections through the act of cooking and eating,” says Favreau. “I am so nostalgic about that time and those experiences -- this series gives me the perfect opportunity to get back in the kitchen and create some new memories.”
"I've always wanted a straight up cooking show since I was a child,” said Choi. “ I grew up on Julia Child, Paul Prudhomme, Sara Moulton, and obviously Emeril's first show had a huge impact on my life. There is something timeless and beautiful about cooking straight to camera. The only snafu was, I'm not a natural born entertainer so doing it alone was always out of the question! But then I met Jon and we built such an amazing friendship over the movie, Chef. We both kinda didn't want it to end. And through this friendship I found my cooking soulmate and a child's dream is now a reality. Julia and Jacques meet Jon and Roy!"
The Chef Show is executive produced and directed by Jon Favreau. Roy Choi and Annie Johnson also serve as executive producers.
Chef’s Table: Volume 7 and Volume 8
The long-running, Emmy-nominated documentary series Chef’s Table will return with two new seasons. Currently in its sixth season, the critically-acclaimed series follows celebrated chefs from around the globe as they pave their own path in the culinary world. The new volumes will bring to light the rich history, passion and drive of eight remarkable food visionaries. Chef’s Table is created by David Gelb and produced by Supper Club and Boardwalk Pictures.

Somebody Feed Phil: New Episodes

Somebody Feed Phil, the Netflix original series from the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, follows Emmy and James Beard Award-winner and Critics' Choice Award nominee Phil Rosenthal on a goodwill eating tour of the world as he explores new cultures and cuisines.
