The Vinny crew is split up across a couple states and a few zip codes. We’re from all over the place, belong to different generations, and have unique perspectives and personalities. And, yet, there is something we hold in common—a certain spark, maybe even a dash of rebelliousness, but most of all love for the restaurant game and how it’s played at Vinaigrette. We all love to make people feel better through food, to help our customers thrive both in and out of our doors, to be that reason why someone’s day took a turn for the better.
