good coverage - that quote by Carole Fan only leads me to further speculation about what is in Alefantis' pizza sauce, as hinted to the audience darkly by Magnificent Ape in the full length version of it's notorious "We've All Got Preferences" video.

Another interesting comment
Speaking of passing on, I'll pass on anything Greenwood has to offer unless I am paid very handsomely to partake in the abuse.

To me that looked like just another snide dig at Carole, attacking her for her gruff personality even though no specific examples of her verbal abuse are given, aside from a very weak one in which she asks him to clarify his gender (which in the context of all this gender label/confusion stuff lately, could actually be a polite question taken out of context to make it sound like it was rude, who knows).
I find it more interesting that

I'll buy the fuckin her son theory. Seems to make the most sense to me. Human meat in the food is also plausible imo. Then dispose of the rest in the oven.
Credited you with the info on the Wiki page. Feel free to add more! http://pizzagate.wiki/index.php?title=Carole_Greenwood

Carole walked in on Mr. Jimmy Comet ordering a back door special with her 17 year old son Dylan. That's why she left.

Again, need some type of source. And anonymous people popping up after the pizzagate investigation making such claims is not a source. They could easily be people hoping to spread disinfo and cause confusion / throw people off leads from within the investigation.

Aha seventeen does it for me, its the only hint that Pizza gate has hard evidence., I commend Carole for getting out with her and her son, no wonder all the pedo press fell on her, she would be considered a retard for stopping the grooming of her son.

Here is an interview with her from 2008 I haven't seen anyone post before:
http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?/topic/8180-a-chat-with-carole-greenwood/
but skimming over it, its all food related, with some background to relationships with farms for sourcing ingredients.
I want to support someone elses claim about reading about a scandal that caused her to quit. the gist is that the person writing claimed to have a friend visiting who knew Carole and told them that Carole walked in on James engaging in intercourse with her son. he was working there as extra help and apparently saw James as some kind of mentor-father figure. she did not want to divulge it for professional - career reasons, but apparently did not hesitate to spew vitriol in private why she was leaving. i have tried to find it in my reddit pizzagate archive, but it could have been a screencapped /pol/ thread.
she is on twitter https://twitter.com/carolegreenwood/

I don't want to support any claims from anonymous people on the internet who pipe up with their claims after the pizzagate investigation took off. If someone can provide a claim that was from back then, prior to this whole current situation, then I would be appreciative and willing to take it onto consideration. But not random people who pop up now with such claims, who could very well just be people who are deliberately trying to cause confusion from within. I also saw that forum interview, though I can only conclude that it is someone claiming to be Carole and using the username "childballad" although the likelihood of it being legit is high since it was admin-vouched.

I absolutely agree that the rumor of why she resigned is hearsay at best. we really do not know. I don't think it is knowable unless Carole herself speaks. even then she would have no incentive to be completely honest if it is embarrassing to her family.
to be honest i would rather like to ask where the financing came from to set up bucks and then comet, who was involved.
In an e-mail sent to me early this morning, Alefantis wrote that the talented but temperamental chef "has decided to pursue other challenges and interests including food opportunities in NYC, food writing, music and art." He also confirmed that Greenwood and long-time sous chef Robert Dahlia recently sparred in the kitchen, an incident that resulted in Dahlia briefly quitting Buck's. (He's now back at the stove.) Greenwood, who is traveling in New York, was not immediately available for comment.

Thanks for this addition. This is James' side of the story, in which he claims that she left to pursue other things, which meant up and leaving everything behind to move away and start over. He also says that she "sparred" with another chef in the kitchen, though does not say over what. It is also never directly said that this is why she left, probably because she might retort against it, and also it makes no sense that she would leave over one heated argument, given that apparently for years she was used to people 'sparring' with her over her stance that her food was art and she would not change it for customers. We still don't know her side of the story or "what really happened".

GOOD WORK, OP!! YES, I'M SHOUTING! You deserve great praise.
While I have your attention, would you please use the quote format for quotes that are larger than a partial sentence? To do it, just use a greater-than sign before each paragraph. Sometimes, you should use a greater-than sign and a space.
Working with artists is always an intense experience and there is always two sides to every story. I happen to know Carole's side and it would make those dining on the new food choke and feel nauseous. I will only say that if they knew what really happened, they like me would no longer dine at either establishment.
Carole is the real deal. A real artist with moods and feelings just like all of you. She is a real talent and we were fortunate enough to have her cook for us for a long while in DC.
Continue the rabid dialogue and we will continue to lose our deep talent to the superficial, rabid, uninformed fodder.
Good job City Paper for lowering the bar a little more on DC culture

Thank you for the tip, will remember for the future.

Awesome! You're welcome.
By the way, if you've got time, you could go back and edit those quotes. :-)
