The American food-related television program called The Phantom Gourmet was created by David Andelman. The tv show features profiles of New England area restaurants. The Phantom Gourmet show airs each Saturday and Sunday morning on WPXT in Portland, Maine, WNAC-DT2 in Providence, Rhode Island, and WSBK-TV in Boston, Massachusetts.
The show starts with an hour episode composed of older clips followed by an hour-long episode (either new or rerun). The original format of the show featured reviews by the “Phantom Critic” as well as numerical ratings of the restaurants. However, the reviews and numerical ratings have been discontinued in the new format of the show.
However, the show continues to feature local restaurants with a major focus on describing dishes and profiling chefs and owners. The company behind the production of The Phantom Gourmet show came out with its first Boston restaurant guide, The Phantom Gourmet Guide to Boston’s Best Restaurants in late spring of 2006. Currently, Dan is one of the hosts of the WSBK-TV 38 show called The Phantom Gourmet.
