Member Spotlight: Vince Pianalto, Brightwater Instructor 

Food has been a part of Chef Vince Pianalto's life for as long as he can remember. A native of Springdale, Arkansas, and a third-generation Italian American, Vince grew up on a dairy farm surrounded by cows, chickens, and crops. His grandmother worked in a restaurant, his mother even owned one, and by the time he was 12Vince was already cooking for his family. Those early experiences, steeped in both agriculture and food,laid a foundation for a lifelong career in the kitchen.
