In this episode, we sit down at the table with Mr. John Forcier, Director of Culinary Operations for Equal Parts Hospitality Group. With years of experience leading diverse kitchen teams and shaping standout dining experiences, Chef Forcier shares insights into building strong kitchen culture, navigating leadership in a multi-concept restaurant group, and staying creative while keeping operations grounded.

Though his parents once hoped he would become a teacher, Chef Forcier has found his own path to education — mentoring his culinary teams and guiding the next generation of chefs through leadership, creativity, and consistency. His influence can be felt across the kitchens he leads, where skill development, training, cooking principles, and industry values go hand in hand.

We explore his journey through the culinary world, the philosophy behind Equal Parts Hospitality, and what it takes to innovate and lead with purpose in today’s hospitality industry.
