I put this in my Vagrantfile at the top, and it works like a charm! The one catch is that knife needs to be correctly setup; usually knife is setup to run in your chef-repo, but you'll probably be running vagrant destroy in a separate folder (like your rails app)... so just be aware and setup knife to read from ~/.chef/knife.rb

Actually, Vagrant already provides a cleanup method in the provisioners base class that gets called on vm destroy. It just ins't filled in for most Provisioners. See http://frank.be/articles/2011/12/16/vagrant-and-chef-auto-deregister-on-vm-destroy/ for quick and dirty example
