First try. I'm sure I could do better with some substitution. I just listed a bunch of 3 letter anadromes and subbed some in and out until I got something I liked.

My original thought some time ago was a button-down shirt, though it's a rough fit for a few lines at best. I thought about sneakers and had a bit more luck, but still can't fit it all. I am still trying, though.

I wasn't following any stereotype. I was referencing an actual case.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Hurd
He was black. He was a (Chicago) Bear. He sold dope (though maybe not to a cop--I'm not sure).

Need a reason
The obvious reason the bear was black was that his skin colour was black.

I don't think it matters. From what I know of the Monty Hall problem, the option to switch doors/cases benefits the player only because the host has knowledge of which door/case gets eliminated, ensuring that the best option remains in the end.
With that being said, I would switch my choice anyway. In the event that I'm wrong on my assumption, the odds are still 50/50 at worst when I switch if my first paragraph assumption is correct, and 39/40 if I'm wrong in the first paragraph.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium
Maybe this would explain the speedy oxidation of the meat and salad.
As compounds containing Thallium are soluble there are options for its disposal (including the use of a towel).
It isn't a sure thing, but certainly possible. It's better than anything I came up with.

Michael Vittaro.
The spoon was made of lead. When Michael came in for the spoon Victor realised that he had been poisoned tried to first find some ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
As evidenced by the oxidation of the sirloin and salad there was none present. Victor then carved a V into the sirloin to implicate Vittaro.
Seeing this Michael changed the letter to an A as Victor passed out on the floor before leaving with the murder weapon.
Would a single dose from a single spoon be enough to kill someone, though? Almost every death from lead poisoning is chronic after years of exposure...

I would be willing to bet that the greying of the meat and the wilting of the lettuce are something that happened as a side-effect and maybe not immediately. Of course, it could just have easily been time that's passed since the murder. Alas, I must leave, but I have one more speculation--
If the towel were soaked in some kind of poison, it could give off vapour in what's very likely a warm kitchen. The victim breathes in the vapour, the killer collects the towel (carefully), and nobody's the wiser.
After I posted this, I figured it's probably not feasible the way I posed it. As a vapour, any poison would likely be too diluted to kill anybody--especially kill somebody on the spot.
somebody knew Mr O'Hare's medical history, or knew that he was allergic to something.

Just hope B-kun doesn't kiss Violet!
B-kun is already assuming any of the partners would have to have:
1) entered the kitchen, administered the poison, and left
2) re-entered the kitchen later, observed and edited the carved letter, removed the poison, and left.
In any case, no poison will be found in the kitchen.
If Violet is the killer, there are two scenarios:
A) First scenario, followed by
3) re-entered the kitchen later still and "discovered the body",
Or
B) 1) followed by
2) re-entered the kitchen later, observed and edited the carved letter and "discovered the body"
If this is true, the poison is still in the kitchen.
UNLESS in 1) she kissed her daddy (having put on poison lipstick to which she has the antidote or a protective device), left and removed the lipstick.
In all of these scenarios but the last, the killer, upon seeing the carved letter, could have simply removed the sirloin along with the poison.
Only in the last scenario, when Violet returns only once, is it necessary to doctor the sirloin before "discovering the body".
The Kiss would be a contact poison, though, and (hopefully) not ingested.
I think the biggest clues here are the wilted lettuce, the grey meat, and a towel. Why a towel?
-
maybe the knife was poisoned and he cut himself?
That would be considered injected, not ingested. Even if we can't entirely believe what the OP says in the narrative, it more or less implies that the pots, pans, and utensils couldn't be predicted and not all of them were poisoned.
If an object were poisoned, it would be something that a good cook would have only 1 of (or very few) and would be used in many (if not all) dishes. Salt comes to mind. The cutting board was a reach for me, but I personally only have two of them (things to be cooked and things not going to be cooked) and use at least one whenever I cook something.
Edit: perhaps there was a poison in the marble counters. They're porous enough to hold a poison...
-
...that the poison was on the cutting board?
I don't know how it would be ingested from there, but I rarely cook without a cutting board.

Sorry I disappeared. I've been having some personal and medical issues.

Flame: That's right. An item was poisoned. The killer could guarantee that the chef would use it regardless of what he made. He wouldn't have more than one of them, either, because the killer didn't go crazy and poison all the things willy-nilly.
