In Memory of Chef Tony Vitello
We are heartbroken to share that Chef Tony Vitello has passed on. Chef Tony was a tremendous contributor to the Western New York culinary scene and was beloved for his warmth and humor. He played a vital role in creating Roux Café alongside Jay and Amy Davidson, and we know how much he has meant to Chefs Christy and Chris Dembik. He will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, and collaborators at this time.
