Somebody Feed Phil Comes to Chicago

Spirited debate, quality cooking advice, top-notch restaurant recs

About the Event:

Attention all Somebody Feed Phil fans, at-home chefs, and armchair travelers: Phil Rosenthal (host of Netflix’s beloved travel documentary series, creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, and author of Somebody Feed Phil the Book) is coming to town! We’re super excited to hear him chat with Mindy Segal (James Beard award-winning chef) all about his new book, travels to foodie-favorite cities, get his hot takes, like: “deep dish pizza IS Chicago,” and watch some special clips from the show. 

A photo opportunity with Phil Rosenthal will be available only for audience members who pre-order or purchase on-site Phil's pre-signed books.

As a part of the Morris & Dolores Kohl Kaplan Northwestern Day, this program is generously sponsored by The Dolores Kohl Education Foundation and is presented in partnership with Northwestern University's Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities. It is generously underwritten by Elaine and Roger Haydock as Pop Culture & Lifestyle Sponsors.
