He even helped get fried chicken from a local business on the school's lunch menu and also ran a small record studio recording for artists from around San Diego County. After a couple ventures, Foxworth started a company called Green Team Recycling where he put recycling bins on school campuses and collected the cans and bottles after lunches. He went on to receive a contract with the San Diego Padres to clean the stadium, which grew the company to over 300 employees.

The music-themed eatery quickly had lines out the door of hungry patrons wanting to sample comfort food dishes. In 2021, Rhythms was featured on the Netflix original series Fresh, Fried & Crispy. The family also took over a neighboring unit two door downs from Rhythm's to open Rhythm & Desserts (R&D) Ice Cream.
Brian's mother, Collette, who was an integral force behind Rhythm's, will soon open Mom's Chicken & Waffles from inside U-31 Cocktail Lounge in North Park. Like Rhythm's, expect a menu of centered around fried chicken with items like the popular fried chicken and waffles sandwiches, as well as hand-pressed burgers, bacon wrapped hotdogs, loaded chicken fries & tots, chicken sandwiches and more.
