Phil Rosenthal is a funny guy with a passion for travel and food. On the fifth episode of I'll Have What Phil's Having, he heads to the vibrant and colorful city of Barcelona. In this episode, Phil takes us on a culinary journey through the streets of this vibrant Spanish city to discover the local cuisine.

The episode begins with Phil enjoying a stroll down La Rambla, which is known for its colorful flower stalls and street performers. Here, Phil discovers a hidden gem: a small restaurant called El Quim de la Boqueria. This restaurant is situated in one of the oldest markets in Barcelona and specializes in seafood tapas. Phil enjoys a selection of dishes, including fried baby squid, octopus with garlic mayo, and razor clams, all of which he describes with mouth-watering accuracy.

Later, Phil takes us to a pastry shop that specializes in the quintessential Spanish sweet treat, churros. At Xocolateria La Pallaresa, Phil samples some delicious churros dipped in thick hot chocolate. He then meets up with a local pastry chef who introduces him to the Catalan cream, a dessert resembling crème brûlée, which Phil describes as being creamier and fruitier than its French counterpart.

Phil also meets up with a local chef who takes him on a tour of La Boqueria market, one of the oldest in Europe. The market is filled with stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, and a variety of meats, and Phil is quick to sample everything. He tries Jamón ibérico, a type of cured ham that is considered a delicacy in Spain, and quickly falls in love with its rich, salty flavor.

The highlight of the episode is when Phil visits Restaurant Tickets, a Michelin-starred restaurant known for its innovative food. The head chef, Albert Adrià, takes Phil on a culinary journey through his 30-course tasting menu that includes dishes like liquid nitrogen olives, mini airbags filled with truffle, and foie gras topped with cotton candy. Phil is amazed by the creativity and techniques used to create these dishes.

In addition to exploring the local cuisine, Phil also gets a taste of the vibrant culture and architecture of Barcelona. He visits the world-famous Sagrada Família, a massive church designed by Antonio Gaudi, which has been under construction for over a century. Phil is blown away by the intricate details and colorful stained glass windows that adorn the church.

Overall, this episode of I'll Have What Phil's Having is a delightful and mouth-watering exploration of the culinary scene in Barcelona. Phil's enthusiasm and humor make the show an entertaining watch, and the stunning sights and sounds of Barcelona make it a must-see for anyone who loves food and travel.
