This is an article regarding chef Carole Greenwood and her leaving Comet...
Notice some of the language used:
"Greenwood returned my call with a question for me:
“Are you a man or a boy?”
I never did understand the inquiry, or its context, but I obviously got a straight shot of that famous Greenwood eccentricity."
“I don’t cook to make people happy,” she told Washington City Paper back when Todd Kliman held this job. “I cook because I’m an artist. And food is my medium.”
"...but I swear you can almost taste the New Zealand grasses (that carbon baby grows fatter) in every bite of these Frenched chops."

I will start down this rabbit hole of chefs and see what starts to jump out at me...
Keep up the fight for Justice!

Carole Greenwood pops up here with Erin Norris: Erin Norris "How did you end up building a restaurant? You worked in music publicity and as a dominatrix. How did you go from that to this? Well, they're all in the entertainment/service industry, that's the common denominator. I'm not trying to sell anything to somebody that I don't believe in myself.... It's about conveying your passion to a broader audience and that happens whether it's in the sex industry — where I was very tactilely engaging people in things they wanted to be exposed to in the dungeons..."
"Wow. Your new chef is Carole Greenwood. How did you two end up working together and settling on the idea that you're going with? Carole and I have some mutual friends...I put an ad on Craigslist..."
Re: Her Horse Head in the restaurant: " [I wanted it] built with a throat that opened up where you could hide your dirty habits in plain site."
