John Rivers opened his sixth 4 Rivers Smokehouse location today at 11764 University Boulevard, Orlando, FL near the UCF campus. Crowds of enthusiastic barbecue fans lined up starting at 6 AM today in anticipation of the lunchtime opening.
“I am overwhelmed by the number of messages and sheer enthusiasm we’ve received from the East Orlando community,” said Rivers. “I’ve never seen such a high level of responses from a new location announcement, and am very excited about serving our good friends on the East side of town.”
Rivers has been very busy, as he is also planning and promoting the opening of much anticipated The Coop| A Southern Affair in Winter Park. That menu focuses on southern specialties, to include fried chicken, shrimp & grits, meatloaf and chicken & waffles. I’ve had the pleasure of previewing some of the food and it is delicious.
Scott Joseph is hosting his popular Supper Club event at the new 4 Rivers test kitchen this Friday, April 4th and the menu will be selections from The Coop. This event is sold out, however, Scott hosts the Supper Club dinners regularly. Be sure to join his email list for the first chance at tickets to his next dinner and a first glimpse at what is happening in Orlando restaurants.
