Somebody Feed Phil

Love this show. I don't want to try to do it justice by writing a lame review. Just watch. (And don't let the REALLY BAD theme song deter or distract you. I actually downgraded my review when I fired up episode 3, because the song is so lame. It seems more like the song for something like Small Wonder or Alf. Come On Vietnam !!) This show made me want to cook and live creatively; go outside my comfort zone more intentionally; and love more people (culturally speaking) more deeply. Worth watching. Just mute it during the theme song.

Such a lovable quirky guy traveling to wonderful places and meeting the locals. The food part is great but not over done. The best part of the show is Phil and his wonderful attitude and love of life. Also the theme song is fantastic!

In a world of perfection and serious exactness a welcoming place to land is often not professional but a relaxed entry way to community. Phil suggests it is not the percisness of the ingredient but the people that you come in contact with, the unexpected location and the joy of the experience. Phil is not the culinary master, thank goodness we have enough of those, each being better than the last. Phil celebrates a life that the unusual, different than where we are and communally the same. Excellent videography, lighting, delightful music.

Love Phil. Stay happy. The world should be filled up with people like you.

My spouse and I stumbled on this show on Netflix and fell in love. Unlike some celebrity travel/food shows, this one is unfailingly fun and informative. The emphasis on positivity and Phil's slightly goofy but warm and absolutely unpretentious approach to the people and food he encounters is so uplifting. Highly recommend and hope there will be a season 2!
