The Great Harvest Bread Company
Evan DeLaney got his first taste of the restaurant business when he was 19 and took a part-time job serving at a local pizza chain in Boston, MA. He continued to work in restaurants or bars throughout college & all the way through completing business school. Shortly after finishing school, he and his then girlfriend (now wife) moved to New York City and it was there, that Evan began working for Michelin starred chef Jean Georges and his internationally renowned restaurant group. First hired as a server at the Upper East Side bistro JoJo, he quickly moved into a bigger role as Assistant GM and eventually offered the GM role for one of his downtown establishments. The over 4 years spent in NYC restaurants brought him invaluable experience about management, hospitality, & having the highest standards for service & food.
When the opportunity to reopen Great Harvest Orlando came to him and his partners he jumped at the chance to join the growing & vibrant Downtown Orlando community. The Great Harvest standard for its food & service is of the highest quality and he is excited to bring the company's mission & phenomenal products to the Greater Orlando area for many years.
Evan understands that any success Great Harvest Orlando has is shared amongst many, many people. He is incredibly grateful to his friends, family, partners, co-workers, & employees for their efforts and support in making helping to make Great Harvest Orlando a success. Most of all he wouldn’t be able to have done any of this without the continued love & encouragement of his wife Ansley & their two children Wesley & Margaret.

4Rivers
John Rivers never set out to create the most successful BBQ chain in Florida. He’s not a classically trained chef or graduate of culinary school. It was in Texas that he found the two loves of his life: his wife and the delicate art of brisket. And it’s been those very two godsends that inspired 4 Rivers as we know it.
4 Rivers Smokehouse began with the launch of the “Barbecue Ministry” in 2004 when John hosted a cookout fundraiser to support a local family whose young daughter was battling cancer. This one event resulted in a passion for supporting local schools, churches, and charitable organizations, and a few years later, smoking thousands of pounds of meat out of a garage just wouldn’t cut it anymore.
After trials, tribulations, and a whole lot of burnt ends, we finally flipped that “Hot Brisket Now” sign on in October of 2009. Within the first hour, a line had formed out the door…and then around the corner.
Today, 4Rivers have several locations across the state of Florida and one location in Atlanta, Georgia with plans for continued expansion and more than 1,000 amazing folks on our 4 Rivers team. Most importantly, the Barbecue Ministry remains our foundation and focus, and will until the cows come home.
