Today we’re joined by a very special guest, Phil Rosenthal, creator of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” beloved host of Netflix’s "Somebody Feed Phil,” and New York Times bestselling author of the new children's book "Just Try It," that he co-wrote with his daughter, our one and only, Lily Rosenthal. In this episode, we talk about the night markets of Taipei, the incredible dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley, life lessons gleaned from service industry jobs, and more. We debate Cuban cuisine in LA versus Miami and indulge in the comfort of diner foods, as Phil dreams up a diner dedicated to preserving the flavors of childhood memories with his new venture, Max and Helen’s  So, pull up a chair and join our table for a smorgasbord of stories, laughter, and a touch of the Rosenthal family charm.
