Welcome to a VERY foody episode of  "Naked Lunch" -- recently nominated as Best Food Podcast for 2023's iHeart Podcast Awards! Next year, we hope to be nominated for Best Naked Podcast! Chef Daniele Uditi -- the acclaimed and lovable chef of Pizzana and beloved pizza judge on Hulu's "Best In Dough"  -- who fantastically overfed Phil, David and Jimmy Kimmel a few episodes ago, is the main course for this special "Naked Lunch" that Phil and David recorded in the kitchen area of Pizza in Beverly Hills. As part of this year's exciting Los Angeles Times Food Bowl, the public was invited to feast along with our hosts. This event benefitted one of Phil's favorite charities, Project Angel Food food bank, while the delicious food prepared by Daniele and his extraordinary staff benefitted anyone who got to eat that night. Daniele tells his inspiring and sometimes hilarious success story coming to America, while Phil, David and Daniele answer some questions that the guests at Pizzana jotted down in between courses.

Join us for a truly out of this world "Naked Lunch" conversation with the multi-talented actor, singer & author Brent Spiner, best known around the world for his brilliant performance as the android Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and in other "Star Trek" films and series as well as playing Dr. Brackish Okun in the "Independence Day" films. But Phil and Brent are longtime friends, and this wide-ranging lunch held at the sadly just-closed Malibu Kitchen covers galaxies of territory, from Brent's work experiences with icons like Walter Matthau, Stephen Sondheim and Martin Scorsese, as well as a wild story of being stalked that inspired Brent's 2021 book, "Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events." On a far more pleasant note, David has lots of questions about Brent's impressive musical life, including "Dreamland," Brent's fantastic 2008 concept album with the extraordinary vocalist Maude Maggart featuring great voice acting work by Mark Hamill.

This week, Naked Lunch reconvenes with Ike's Love and Sandwiches to show some love to our brilliant guest who made his good name supposedly ruining everything on his high-minded comedy series "Adam Ruins Everything" --  Adam Conover. Adam discusses his experiences making his 2022 show on Netflix, "The G Word with Adam Conover," and details what it was like to work on the civic-minded series with President Barack Obama. In the spirit of at least ruining something, Adam helps ruin food by breaking down the myth of the food pyramid and how big business has corrupted what we eat and how we eat it. To learn more about building community through food and "Somebody Feed the People," visit the Philanthropy page at philrosenthalworld.com.
