Don’t you love a great lunch and conversation with an interesting friend? You know, the kind that you talk about for years to come. Phil Rosenthal, creator, and host of Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil,” already knows how to find fascinating people, foods, and cultures. While he always likes eating lunch, he’s even more enthusiastic about a lunch that includes a conversation with smart people who share their stories.From Straw Hut Media
