Biography[]
When Vincent was just starting out as a chef, he landed a job at Nolan Crawford's restaurant in New York, a job he felt very lucky to get due to his inexperience. Vincent's first task at the restaurant was to cook omelets, and while eggs were easy enough to cook, Vincent struggled to get the timing just right on when to flip the omelet. As he struggled, he was approached by Nolan himself, who instead of scolding Vincent or firing him, took the time to teach the young chef how to do it right. Vincent would go on to learn a lot from Nolan, who he viewed as his sensei.
Many years later, Vincent himself had become an acclaimed chef and food expert and took part in a TV show to visit and rate restaurants.
Appearances[]
Vincent's first appearance is with Yui as they are making the TV show Star★The Chef and come to challenge the new up and coming restaurant Bancho Sushi in the sub mission Gourmet Vincent's Challenge.
After tasting the Seagrapes Jellyfish Sushi, Vincent is impressed as the sensations make him feel like he is tasting the sea itself. Scoring the dish 80 out of 100, as the dish needs a proper drink to go with it, gifting a refrigerator to keep beer in the restaurant.
Vincent makes his second appearance alongside Yui and Wang Pang, jointly presenting a new challenge to Bancho centered around Chinese cuisine.
