Staff Meal Refuses to Feed the Phantom Gourmet

The Phantom Gourmet trio, who aren’t really phantoms at all (everyone knows that they’re Dan, Dave, and Mike Andelman), are embroiled in a feud with Staff Meal. The Kowloon-lovin’ brothers had the Staff Meal team on their show recently to discuss food trucks versus brick-and-mortar restaurants. Judging by the photo above, things didn’t go so well.

The bad blood goes back a few years, when PG called a waitress at Grill 23 a “little monkey,” which offended pretty much everyone, including Staff Meal. Things got worse when the Phantom had Al from Al’s State St Cafe on the show, where he accused trucks of “stealing his business.” “There was some obvious disinformation being spread by a known sponsor of the show,” the Staff Mealers say, ominously.

Can’t we all get along? Restaurants are good! Trucks are good! Food is good! In the meantime, no Irene burritos for the Andelmans. [BostonInno]
