AFTER CONTROVERSIAL
COMMENTS EARLIER THIS YEAR BY
THE THEN CEO THE IS SET TO
RETURN WITH NEW LEADERSHIP.
SPOKE TO THE SHOW'S HOST AND
NEW CEO.
THE PHANTOM GOURMET IS
RETURNING TO TV THIS WEEKEND
AFTER A HIATUS.
THE LONG-RUNNING SHOW CAME
UNDER CRITICISM AFTER ITS CEO
POSTED COMMENTS MOCKING BLACK
LIVES MATTER PROTESTERS.
HE HAS SINCE RESIGNED AND HIS
BROTHER WILL TAKE OVER AND TRY
TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF.
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS
AS THE ULTIMATE TEACHING MOMENT
AND WE HAVE LISTENED AND WE
HAVE LEARNED.
I THINK WHEN WE CAN PUT OUR
ACTIONS INTO POSITIVELY
AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY I THINK
WE CAN DO GOOD.
THOSE ACTIONS INCLUDE A
COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE
COMPANY'S CULTURE.
WE ARE LOOKING TO AN
EXTENDED LEASE YEAR-LONG
ENGAGEMENT TO DO EXECUTIVE
COACHING AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
OF THE ORGANIZATION WORKING
WITH THE STAFF AND LOOKING AT
HIRING.
DAN HAS ENLISTED ACTIVISTS
WHO WILL HELP PHANTOM USE ITS
PLATFORM TO ELEVATE MINORITY
OWNED BUSINESSES.
THE REAL OBJECTIVE IS
WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO WILL
HOLD THEM TO THE GRINDSTONE
WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THE
RIGHT THING OVER THE COURSE OF
TIME AND CHANGING THE SHOW SO
THE SHOW IS A REFLECTION OF THE
FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND CONFRONT RACIAL
INJUSTICE BY BECOMING AN
OUTLINE.
THIS PANDEMIC HAS BEEN
ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING TO THE
RESTAURANT BUSINESS BUT IT HAS
BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY
DEVASTATING TO MINORITY OWNED
RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY OF
BOSTON.
