The development also announced today that local fast-casual vegetarian chain Clover Food Lab will be opening, and Night Shift Brewing’s Owl’s Nest beer garden is coming back for the summer. The new Somerville location will open adjacent to the Row Hotel at Assembly Row. The all-day spot features a mix of cafe fare, prepared foods, and retail through the market (including an extensive wine selection) as well as onsite dining at the restaurant with a menu that emphasizes seasonal, local sourcing. McClelland closed L’Espalier at the end of 2018 after the restaurant’s 40-year run (he was at the helm for 30 of those years) the lease was up, and McClelland said at the time that he “needed to go and do something else that feeds soul.” The high-end restaurant featured special-occasion-worthy tasting menus of French-meets-New-England cuisine and had been located at three separate Back Bay addresses over the years.Ī few months later, he announced that he’d open a casual farm-to-table restaurant, market, and cafe called Frank in Beverly, and it debuted in late 2019. Chef and restaurateur Frank McClelland, best known for his now-closed fine-dining destination L’Espalier in Boston’s Back Bay, will open an offshoot of his North Shore restaurant, Frank, in Somerville this fall, per an announcement today from Assembly Row. The ABC News report also said that only about one-fifth of missing person cases involving minorities are covered by the news, according to a 2016 analysis published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology.Somerville’s massive Assembly Row development, which features a sprawling collection of retail and residential buildings, keeps growing, and a familiar face from Boston’s restaurant scene is slated to open a restaurant there later this year. MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized her own industry on her prime-time program, calling the Petito coverage an example of “missing White woman syndrome,” a term coined by the late PBS anchor Gwen Ifill to describe the media’s often lopsided focus on white women and girls when they go missing.Īn ABC News report, citing statistics from the FBI’s National Crime Information Center stated that at the end of 2020, the FBI had more than 89,000 active missing person cases, and 45 percent of those were people of color. Meanwhile, the media coverage issue Somerville had hoped to raise has garnered plenty of attention in recent days as debate rages over how much is too much. Somerville has said in the past that he wants to work “two or three more years” and would like to finish his career at KTVU. He’s one of the highest paid anchors in the Bay Area, but his contract is up in March. This latest incident, coming just six weeks after Somerville’s return to the anchor desk, will undoubtedly trigger speculation about his future with the station. Since then, Fox and station management have refused to publicly speak to the issue. Somerville was off the air for more than nine weeks before returning in August to Channel 2’s “The Ten O’Clock News” without addressing his unusual absence. There was no word on how heated the discussion got. The veteran anchor was told that the tagline was inappropriate and he apparently pushed back on it. Somerville is the adoptive father of a Black teen daughter. KTVU (San Francisco Bay Area) news anchor Frank Somerville has been removed from air after a disagreement with news director Amber Eikel over coverage of the Gabby Petito homicide case. media often disproportionately covers tragedies involving young White women, while largely ignoring similar cases involving women of color and Indigenous people. Sources said he wanted to point out that the U.S. Somerville wanted to add a brief tagline at the end of the report that questioned the extraordinary level of media coverage devoted to the story. KTVU was prepared to air a news report detailing the latest developments in the case. The FBI has issued an arrest warrant for Brian Laundrie, Petito’s 23-year-old fiancé. Petito, 22, had been reported missing earlier this month while on a cross-country camping trip. The disagreement, said sources, occurred earlier in the week after the body of Petito was discovered in Wyoming. KTVU news anchor Frank Somerville again has been removed from the air, but this time a newsroom spat - not an on-air meltdown -appears to be the reason.Īccording to station sources, Somerville, 63, has been “suspended indefinitely” by Channel 2 management after a disagreement with news director Amber Eikel over coverage of the Gabby Petito homicide case.
