Bobby sits down with Phil Rosenthal to trace how Everybody Loves Raymond went from an idea on paper to one of the most beloved sitcoms ever—and why he actually quit the show not once, but twice. Phil talks about betting big on a real-life diner, how Somebody Feed Phil helped inspire it, and why he sees himself as a food “enthusiast,” not a snob. He shares where his obsession with great meals really began and how travel changed everything. Plus, Phil tells his favorite David Letterman story from the early days of trying to get Raymond on the air.
