Well, folks, never a dull day in Gabetown. Gabriel Claycamp, the former Culinary Communion chef, has left the second iteration of his butcher shop, the Swinery. Claycamp, who was backed by an investor/partner he claims is more than 300 thousand dollars invested in the business, says he wasn’t being paid for his work at the West Seattle chop shop. Claycamp says he plans to seek employment as a cook or, if possible, a chef. He says he’s had teaching offers as well.
I spoke with a source at the Swinery who asked not to be named but told me that the West Seattle butcher shop had no plans to close and that the three remaining employees are staying put. “Same hours, same everything,” said the source, adding, “it’s a good change, a step in the right direction.”

man alive, who needs soap operas.
When is this gonna end? For years it’s always something with Claycamp. Big ideas, big talk, bigger drama. Just shut it and F’ing cook (read work) for a living.
Not getting paid? Taste of the medicine he spread all over town perhaps.
LOVE The Swinery and will continue to support it!
