Eager to Skip the Wait at Phil Rosenthal’s L.A. Diner? The ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ Creator Wants to Do You One Better
Phil Rosenthal has partnered with Marriott Bonvoy to offer members three travel experiences hosted by the *Everybody Loves Raymond* creator and *Somebody Feed Phil* presenter. The Los Angeles event includes a private meal at his popular Max & Helen’s diner, where diners usually cannot reserve a table, giving guests a way to skip the queue and meet Rosenthal.
The series began with a three-night stay in Paros, Greece, for 12 members and their guests. A New Orleans food tour runs from 2 to 4 December, with six two-person packages available and bidding closing on 29 October. The Los Angeles trip runs from 22 to 24 January 2027, featuring a pizza-making class, a two-night hotel stay and breakfast for dinner at Max & Helen’s; bidding opens on 20 October.
