<p>Phil Rosenthal was recently in Vancouver as part of <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/just-for-laughs-vancouver-viral-comedy-stars" target="_blank">Just For Laughs Vancouver</a>, but those familiar with Rosenthal will not be surprised to hear that he also spent some time enjoying the local food scene during his visit.</p>
<p>Posted to his Instagram as part of his video series <em>Phil Me In</em>, Rosenthal made stops at two much-loved Vancouver restaurants, the first being <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/best-hot-pot-vancouver" target="_blank">Landmark Hot Pot House</a>, located at 4023 Cambie St., Vancouver.</p>
<p>Rosenthal shared that they had essentially ordered the whole menu, with the standouts being crispy chicken wings, black pepper crab, fried sticky rice with Chinese sausage, and the Peking duck.</p>
