The year prior to her departure was when the ANC commissioner pointedly asked Alefantis if he obeyed food safety laws, or spat in customer's food.

I had always assumed the commissioner got an earful from a disgruntled Comet employee. Maybe it was Carole herself. That would explain the bitterness directed towards her by Alefantis' supporters, even after her departure.

I would love to see the source of that.

Easiest way to get an overview is to use Google search term: Frank Winstead

You are referring to this, yes?

According to that piece, the meeting at which the accusations were made took place the Tuesday prior to JUN 19, 2008.

It has been a bit confusing trying to figure out when exactly Carole left CPP. Wikipedia claims, "she left her position as executive chef and co-owner in 2006 citing urgent family matters and other personal interests," according to the current version of the page, perhaps a typo? The articles used as sources are dated 2009 but don't actually specify when Carole left (though they are used as the sources for the claim by wikipedia for the year she left). And one of Carole's own resume profiles claims she was at CPP until May 2010. https://culinaryagents.com/talents/28115-carole-wagner-greenwood

Trying to figure out what really happened just leads to more oddities.

At the meeting, Alefantis did not reply to the accusation. The meeting was packed with his supporters. They made quite a ruckus, and there was no further discussion of the topic. I have the suspicion that Alefantis knew that the commissioner had more than just rumors on the subject.
