As recently as last Friday, Sawyer was listed on each restaurant’s websites as partner/executive chef. As Columbus Alive pointed out today, Sawyer is no longer listed on the SeeSaw website. Nate Hall is now listed as executive chef.
A similar change was made on the Sawyer’s website, where Sawyer’s photo and title have disappeared, replaced by co-executive chefs Adam Bauer and Logan Abee.
There’d been rumblings that Sawyer was out at both restaurants, including the one bearing his name, but that Forward would let the dust settle on the Greenhouse news before making any announcements on Sawyer’s role or the name of the Van Aken operation.
While Bobby Rutter of Forward Hospitality hasn’t responded to inquiries from Scene, Forward Hospitality’s Aldo Narcisi told Columbus Alive that the business partners will “be meeting this month before making an announcement.”
Nate Hall, the new executive chef at SeeSaw, told Alive that Forward is “currently assessing the situation as a company.”

Coming right up…a big helping of hot mess…served on a bed of deep shit!
Wow
Karma.
How the mighty have fallen. Still, even with this gourmet hot mess he’s cooking up, he is talked about. That still beats any chef over at any of the Driftwood restaurants. They can open or close a restaurant and STILL nobody cares about Chris Hodgson. Lol…Cleveland is home of so many washed up never was wannabe chefs 🤣
So what’s driving this? Is it a question of financial irregularities?
I hear he’s fled the country because of massive unpaid debts and mismanaged funds.
Jonathon owes me money for Trentina! So I just better hurry up and stay in line. So pathetic.
Solid Dude, Shitty Citizenry.
