Popular food show on hiatus after host mocks police protests.
BOSTON (AP) — A long running New England television show spotlighting local restaurants and food has been taken off air after its CEO mocked the nationwide protests against police brutality on social media. Boston-based stations WBZ-TV and WSBK-TV said in a statement Sunday that Phantom Gourmet has been placed “on hiatus pending further review.” Dave Andelman, the show’s CEO and co-host, took jabs at participants of the Black Lives Matter movement in a number of recent posts on his personal Facebook account. He’s since apologized.
