TheWrap

“We filmed Season 3 and 4 back to back," Rosenthal says of his Netflix food and travel docuseries. "We filmed from August through the middle of January. So we got it in just under the wire. So Season 4 will come out in the fall or the winter. I don’t know what’s gonna happen beyond that, not just out in the world, but I don’t know if Netflix will want more episodes. And they’ll wait until way after Season 4 is even on to decide. That’s why it’s been two years between seasons almost. They take so long to decide anything. And the truth is, their business model is having new things all the time.

• Phil Rosenthal weighs in on how the coronavirus pandemic is impacting the restaurant industry: "From what we’ve learned, if we listen to the science, it doesn’t make sense to just flip a switch and say it’s safe to go out," he says. We have to start at the shallow end of the pool and wade out slowly until we’re comfortable. Other countries seem to understand that. We have examples of what to do and what not to do. But unfortunately, it seems our government isn’t listening to anybody. Here’s the scary part: You and I want to travel. When they say it’s safe to travel, we want to go. Guess who doesn’t want us?"
• Rosenthal admits being "a bit more relaxed in front of the camera" in Season 3: "I hadn’t been in front of the camera much before," he says.
• Rosenthal says after three seasons "we still haven’t scratched the surface of the earth — such as India"
