I'LL HAVE WHAT PHIL'S HAVING
PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET
This week, Phil Rosenthal travels to Italy – where the food he encounters is so delicious-looking, I highly recommend you not watch this on an empty stomach. The segment on gelato should get you weak in the knees no matter how much you’ve eaten – and the scene about open-flame meat grilling, and the part about how different it tastes ripping bites right off the bone, is a vegetarian’s nightmare – but a carnivore’s dream. You can read my full review, and an interview with Rosenthal, on Bianculli’s Blog. And remember: On the blog page, tell us your own favorite places to eat, where you live and around the world. I’ll be reading. So, I suspect, will Phil. Check local listings.
