The couple behind a barbecue business in the northern suburbs of Boston will be opening their very own brick-and-mortar restaurant.
According to a source (Gary Goldblatt), Code 1 BBQ is planning to open a dining spot in Wilmington, with a Facebook post from co-owner Erica Marchant (that she posted on the Merrimack Valley Eats group page) saying the following:
Our vision for Code 1 BBQ is to continue to create delicious, scratch made smoked meats and sides for our family, friends, neighbors and local communities. We chose Wilmington especially because we live here and are so excited to be apart of the growing business community here. Supporting our community and local business is a priority for us. Sean is an Airforce veteran and that is where our name comes from. He's the pitmaster smoking all the meat and I am the chef working magic in the kitchen.
Code 1, which has been based in Woburn and focusing in part on catering, will take over the space where the Italian restaurant LaRosa's has been; LaRosa's will be reopening in a bigger space in the next few months.
The address for the new Code 1 BBQ restaurant in Wilmington is 211 Main Street, Wilmington, MA, 01887. Its website can be found at https://code1bbq.com/
[January 30, 2023 update: According to its social media, Code 1 BBQ is now open in Wilmington.]
