4 Rivers Smokehouse began with John Rivers' "Barbecue Ministry" in 2004, a cookout fundraiser for a local family facing hardship. After much dedication, the first 4 Rivers Smokehouse opened in October 2009. The concept quickly gained recognition, leading to invitations to cook at the James Beard House in NYC and appearances at the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. John Rivers has also been celebrated by numerous publications and was a finalist for the 2013 Florida Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2014, he published The Southern Cowboy Cookbook.
