Summary
One of the stars of this weekend’s BottleRock festival isn’t a singer, rocker or band member, instead it’s award winning television writer, producer, host and self proclaimed foodie, Phil Rosenthal. Perhaps best known for creating the hit CBS sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond”, Rosenthal now has a cult following for his Netflix travel and food series, “Somebody Feed Phil”. Rosenthal explains what he’s doing on stage at a music festival and how after 10 years of rejection from Hollywood, he’s found his second career bringing the world, its food and its customs to viewers, building bridges, not walls around our borders.
