A Good Chef Fell and Nobody Noticed

So sad to see a fellow Chef go so young. He and I were always at each other, jokingly we would say that each others food sucked! but when we went out to eat he would come to Candela {where I was the Chef} and i would go to Fresco. He was fun to go out for drinks with, Chris Walsh and Vinnie were always up for a party. Sad indeed.

A Good Chef Fell and Nobody Noticed

I can't begin to tell you how I felt when I went into Gonzo this evening 7-19-07 with my girlfriends and when I asked if Vinnie was there this evening, the Hostess looked at me very sadly and told me of Vinnie's passing... I am from Nj and Vinnie has been a very dear friend of mine for the past 7 years. From his house down the NJ shore, to Scopa and to Gonzo, I will always remember the dear friend I have now lost. I almost fell on the ground and to this moment am still very shocked. How this news was not posted in any newspaper is just beyond me.. He was one of the most creative, remarkable and funniest people I have ever met, and because there was no mention of it, I couldn't even go to the wake and give him a respectful, friendly Goodbye! I always thought and will always think he was one of the best Chefs ever.. I had a mashed potato and corn pizza tonight Vin, it tasted just like you used to make for me.... I will continue to dine at Gonzo Donna, and more often now than ever.... Rest in Peace good friend, you will be forever missed until we meet again.......
