Somebody give Phil Rosenthal a few Austin lunch suggestions. The star of Netflix's smash hit Somebody Feed Phil is heading out on a whirlwind tour through Texas, including a stop at the Paramount Theatre in Austin on January 22, 2026.
In a moderated discussion called An Evening With Phil Rosenthal Of "Somebody Feed Phil," the sitcom writer-turned-food personality will tell stories from his remarkable career. His Hollywood break was in acting before he switched to production work on shows like Coach with Craig T. Nelson. He is well known as the creator of CBS's hit Everybody Loves Raymond, for which he earned a pair of Emmys.
In 2015, he made another career change to become a food television host, with a six-episode PBS series, I'll Have What Phil's Having. The show was reworked into Netflix's Somebody Feed Phil, which released its eighth season in June.
The docuseries follows Rosenthal as he travels around the globe, highlighting regional specialties and nonprofit organizations doing good work in each region. Each week, he is joined by special guests, including some of the biggest names in TV like Ray Romano, Ted Danson, Fran Drescher, and Paul Reiser.
The show has only visited Texas once, for an Austin episode in the sixth season, where he visited institutions like Amy's Ice Cream and the Continental Club and newer upstarts like Distant Relatives. Maybe he'll take a few suggestions from the audience during the Q&A portion of the evening.
Tickets are now on sale, starting about $53, for his appearance in Austin. A VIP ticket includes a post-show meet-and-greet with Rosenthal.
The complete dates for Rosenthal's Texas mini-tour are as follows:
- January 21, 2026 — Majestic Theatre, Dallas
- January 22, 2026 — Paramount Theatre, Austin
- January 23, 2026 — The Aztec Theatre, San Antonio
