The Netflix culinary travel series Somebody Feed Phil proves that food television can be both accessible and interesting, populist and highbrow. Much of the show’s success is credited to its host, the delightful human being Phil Rosenthal. Phil returns to the This Is TASTE studio for the first time in over five years and we catch up about how his show has grown in scope, we talk about some of his favorite NYC and Los Angeles restaurants, and get some info on his soon-to-open restaurant in Larchmont Boulevard, Max and Helens. Phil is always welcome on the show and it’s great catching up. Also on the show Aliza and Matt catch up about some exciting spring cookbooks, including: Islas, Bourbon Land, Health Nut, The SalviSoul Cookbook, Keep It Zesty, Cured.     Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google MORE FROM PHIL ROSENTHAL:Phil Rosenthal Is Opening an Old-School Diner in Los Angeles This Summer [Eater LA]This Is TASTE 13: Phil Rosenthal [TASTE]The 80 Most Exciting New Spring Cookbooks for 2024 [Epicurious]

Crystal Wilkinson is the author of a compelling new book, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, a memoir that honors the author’s maternal ancestors, which she calls her “kitchen ghosts.” On this episode we speak with Wilkinson about life in Kentucky and what she came to learn about her family history while researching the book.  Also on the show we catch up with Howie Kahn, a prolific journalist, sneaker expert, author, and podcast host. Howie is an old friend and a respected voice in food writing. We talk about his early magazine career and what drives him to write about food, drink, travel, and NYC as a backdrop for it all.  Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google MORE FROM CRYSTAL WILKINSON & HOWIE KAHN:The Ghosts of Black Appalachia Visit Her Kitchen [NYT]Crystal Wilkinson Poetry [Academy of American Poets]Tom Sachs On His Cult Classic 'Mars Yard' Nikes [Esquire]Writer Howie Kahn Is Fascinated by the Grill [Grub Street Diet]

This week we’re thrilled to bring you a special edition of SHEROES recorded live in front of an audience at On Air Fest - an annual podcast festival at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. Our very special guest this year was nine time Grammy winning singer, songwriter, pianist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Norah Jones, who has just released her ninth studio album Visions on Blue Note Records, and is preparing to head out on tour starting in May. With tequilas in hand, Norah and I chatted about the new album, her fantastic podcast called Norah Jones Is Playing Along, and much more.

“I'm really into video games, and I feel like making friends is the side quest of tour.”
