Meet Team USA 2027 🇺🇸: Head Chef Vincenzo Loseto

From fishing and clamming on the shores of Long Island to the kitchens of New York, London, and Napa, Vincenzo (“Vinny”) has been building toward this moment for years.

Raised in a big Italian family, Vinny learned early that great food starts with respect, for ingredients, and for the people around the table. From butcher shop to CIA grad, from NoMad and Eleven Madison Park to winning our Young Chef competition and going on to assist Team USA’s historic Bocuse d’Or gold medal run, every step shaped the chef he is today.

Now, with the discipline, heart, and a deep love for cooking, he’s stepping back onto the world stage as Head Chef for Team USA 2027.

We’re proud to have him representing our country 🇺🇸
