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".
