Oui, COACH. I’ll be flipping sides this @bocusedor and be the Head Coach of the Team USA Chef Candidate 🇺🇸 @v_loseto as he trains to compete in Lyon in January 2027. Vinny has been leading some of the top kitchens in America and is absolutely ready to compete at this level. This Bocuse d’Or will be the 10th anniversary of when I was the competitor and Vinny was a team assistant on my team. We are excited to train all year long and go for gold together once again. The Bocuse d’Or will always be a part of my story, so to be a part of the team this year is going to be thrilling, rigorous, and requires immense focus to show the rest of the world what us American chefs are so proud of. The support that comes from the @mentorbkb foundation, incredible chef community, donors, sponsors, creatives, our friends and families, and so many more is what helps this team be able to compete at such a high level. Thank you to everyone that supported me during my year (many seen in these photos), and we are excited to be bringing back the key players this year to make sure we hold nothing back. We will be telling the full story as we train, travel, and compete. What would you like to see BTS?

Salty Vol 25: "The Power of Fearlessness" ✍️ by Chef Vincenzo Loseto @v_loseto . Growing up on the shores of Massapequa, N.Y., fishing and clamming, Vincenzo “Vinny” Loseto quickly learned the importance of using locally sourced ingredients as well as butchery from his Italian family. After graduating from the CIA, he made his way into the kitchens of Daniel Humm and James Kent at the NoMad before being transferred to Eleven Madison Park. In 2016 he became involved with the Ment'Or organization where he placed first in their Young Chef Competition. That honor allowed Vincenzo to join Matthew Peters and Philip Tessier as part of Team USA in the 2017 Bocuse d'Or, where they took home their first-ever gold medal. Vincenzo joined PRESS Restaurant and Chef Tessier in 2022 as Chef de Cuisine. He was recently featured on Season 22 of "Top Chef." . In Chef Loseto's words: "When I arrived at “The Nomad,” I had no idea what to expect. They sat me up at a back table with a massive container of snow peas and told me to chiffonade them for their snow pea salad. If you know, you know… It’s the kind of tedious, repetitive task often referred to as 'bitch work.' It’s a project that takes several hours every day to complete as you line up stringed snow peas on your board and cut them to resemble that of Big League Chew bubble gum. While starting this task I got a nudge and greeted with a 'Yo, my name's James, it’s great to have you here.' Little did I know this man was about to change my life. He later offered me a job after stating that I was very green but he was willing to take a chance on me. Looking back, James had a habit of betting on people before they were ready, many of whom are now leading successful kitchens of their own. More than that, he created space for others to take risks too." .

Chef jamal james kent. The man who took a chance on me and always believed not only in me, but anyone he came in touch with. I owe so much of my success to you. You fought for me when nobody else would and I will be forever grateful for all that you’ve done.
