Executive Chef, Reuel Vincent, launched his culinary career working as a prep cook at the Creative Catering Agency. With no formal culinary education, Vincent used his time at the Agency to learn the restaurant business through hard work and dedication to his craft. Following his time as a prep cook, Vincent served as a stage at the Gilt, the Two Star Michelin-Restaurant at The New York Palace, before returning to the Creative Catering Agency as the lead cook. Determined to advance his culinary skills, Vincent learned how to source the right ingredients to create culinary delights, which resulted in his promotion to Head Chef. As the Banquet Chef at Legends’ ASPIRE at One World Observatory, Vincent curates bi-annual menus for ONE Dine, researching and procuring fresh ingredients for our seasonal offerings, while also leading the execution of premium events at ASPIRE and the One World Observatory. He works with clients to create custom menus that fit dietary restrictions and event-specific needs. He is also responsible for staffing events, hand-selecting each employee to ensure events run seamlessly. “I’m not passionate – I’m hungry” says Vincent, “and with that, being a part of a team where I can make a meaningful contribution.”
