Somebody Feed Phil Basque Country”: A Local’s View Beyond the Screen

When Somebody Feed Phil visited the Basque Country, San Sebastián naturally stole the spotlight. Phil Rosenthal’s pintxo crawl took him to some of the city’s most beloved bars—Casa Urola, where tradition meets precision; Txepetxa, famed for its anchovies; and La Espiga, a time-honored neighborhood favorite.

What most viewers didn’t know is that these are places I’ve frequented for years, not as a guide but simply as a local—sharing laughs and bites with friends. In fact, I was accidentally caught on camera during the episode, enjoying pintxos in exactly the way I always have: casually, joyfully, and without pretense.

The episode captured something beautiful, but just the beginning. San Sebastián’s food culture runs far deeper than its most iconic bars. There are unmarked doorways, fourth-generation tabernas, and cooks whose food never reaches Instagram—but stays with you forever.

While I specialize in private wine tours through Rioja, Txakoli country, and Bordeaux, I also lead bespoke food tours here in San Sebastián. These are personal, curated experiences that uncover the layers beneath the surface—guided not by trends, but by local love and real stories.
