"I learned that Seattle Central College’s culinary program, known as the Seattle Culinary Academy and long a training ground for dozens of influential Seattle chefs, could be cut from the school’s budget; alums include Communion’s Kristi Brown and renowned chef Matt Dillon, and Paolo Campbell and Donald Adams—owners of The Chicken Supply—met and first discussed opening a restaurant while in the program. The Seattle Times reported that a budget committee is expected to imminently put forth recommendations that, if enacted, would cut the Seattle Culinary Academy entirely, though the publication did not get statements from committee members." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
