Owner
4 Rivers Restaurant Group
4Rivers Smokehouse, one of the fastest-growing new restaurants in the southeast, with his Texas-inspired 4Rivers Smokehouses in Winter Park, Winter Garden and Longwood, Jacksonville, and Gainesville, Florida. His second restaurant concept The COOP will open in Winter Park in March 2014. Brand awareness for 4 Rivers began with the launch of the "BBQ Ministry" in 2004 when Rivers hosted a BBQ fundraiser to support a local family facing the increasing medical bills of their young daughter's battle with cancer. A dedication to supporting local schools, churches, and charitable organizations resulted from this one event that has remained at the core of the 4R companies.
Rivers' concept immediately garnered recognition resulting in the invitation to cook at the prestigious James Beard House in New York City and four consecutive invitations to present at the 2011-2014 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Rivers has released his first cookbook, "The Southern Cowboy" and has appeared on NBC and FOX morning shows as well as The Good Life Network. Among others, Rivers has been celebrated nationally on Food&Wine.com, and in Cigar Aficionado, Restaurant Business, FOOD Magazine, Cooking Light Magazine, the Paula Deen Magazine, and was most recently named as a finalist for the 2014 Earnest and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
