Somebody give Phil Rosenthal a few Houston lunch suggestions. The sitcom writer-turned-food personality just announced a whirlwind tour through Texas, including a stop at Houston's 713 Music Hall on January 24, 2026.
In a moderated discussion, Rosenthal 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. But he is best known as the creator of CBS's smash 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 a few of his fans can convince him that Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio deserve their own episodes.
Tickets are on sale now for $53-$186.50, with the latter including a meet-and-greet.
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
- January 24, 2025 — 713 Music Hall, Houston
