Chef Rico Vidal,

Raised in Battle Creek, MI where the air smells of cereal. The city known for being the cereal capital helped spark his interest in culinary. Cooking & connecting with people has been a calling since he was an early teenager. Although no traditional culinary schooling took place, he held an apprenticeship under a notable chef in Nashville, TN. Through a series of experiences, he curated, restaurant takeovers & pop-ups throughout the city of Nashville is when he realized his culinary dream was beginning to be his reality.

Even during a global pandemic Chef Vidal took his love for connecting others through his food to another level. He founded the ForkDive Experience in late 2020. It is a full-service private dining & catering company based here in Louisville, KY.

Since then, ForkDive has catered numerous events in the Greater Louisville area & beyond, for hundreds of happy families as well as corporate events. Chef Rico was featured on Wave 3 News for a Live Cooking Demo & booked by SuperChef Darnell Ferguson for a Private Dinner. In February 2023 alone, ForkDive had the opportunity to cater for Texas Roadhouse Finalist Day, Thorton’s HQ, & a Corporate Luncheon for a Pharmeceutical Company. Whatever the occasion, ForkDive is your best choice!
