Vincent William Pernicano (1943 – 2016) would joke that his father
had him working the family pizzeria/catering business from the time he could
reach the sink on a wooden box.
Actually, Vince began working for the Sears Corp., becoming
a department manager which led to management positions in Washington, Oregon and
Montana. He opened the Southgate Mall Sears store in 1978 and in doing so he
fulfilled a childhood dream of coming to Montana after writing a story about the
state in elementary school.
Hunting wild game was everything to Vince who also made it
his mission to teach hunters how to properly dress and cook their wild game so
as not to waste any of the meat. To accomplish that mission Vince belonged to
the Outdoor Writers Association of America writing numerous "Cooking With
Vince" cookbooks, and offering cooking seminars and TV wild life cooking classes
KECI-TV. Vince's weekly recipes under the title, "Wildlife Chef
Vince" were carried in several Montana newspapers.
