read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a
neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of
independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's
verifiability policy and the
notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by

John Thomas Rivers is an American entrepreneur and businessman. [1] He is the founder and CEO of 4R Restaurant Group and founded a nonprofit organization, The 4R Foundation, [2] which established 4 Roots, an alliance of community stakeholders investing in a healthy, thriving, sustainable, food system.

The 4R Foundation was created to give back to the communities where the brands are located, a culture that remains dubbed as part of the BBQ Ministry. In addition to supporting various charitable organizations, the foundation also established 4Roots [8] whose mission is to "unearth the power of food to build healthy communities". [9] The primary focus of 4Roots is the 4Roots Farm Campus in the heart of Orlando which began development in 2021. [10]
Rivers was invited to cook at the prestigious James Beard House in 2013. [11] [12] He is the author of his cookbook, The Southern Cowboy Cookbook originally published in 2013.

[14] In November 2022, Rivers was inducted into Florida State University's Business School Hall of Fame. [15] Philanthropist of the Year [16] Rivers was a finalist for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of The Year, a program that has celebrated ambitious visionaries leading successful, dynamic businesses for nearly four decades [17].
Rivers is married with two children. He currently resides in Winter Park, Florida. [18]
