Vic, Jack and Trevor welcome Vincent, a lifelong cook, car enthusiast, and first-generation son of Lao immigrants, who’s earned the nickname “The Pirate of Restaurants.” From mom-and-pop kitchens to fine dining chaos, Vincent has seen every side of the line. He talks about the lessons he learned from Kobe Bryant’s Mamba mentality, how cars and cooking both demand precision and passion, and what it means to carry heritage and hustle through every plate he serves.

This episode dives deep into food, family, culture, resilience, and the drive that keeps great cooks moving forward.
