BALLANTYNE | feature
Mama Ricotta's, Bad
Daddy's Burger Bar,
Cantina 1511 and Paco's
Tacos & Tequila.
Scibelli, who recently
sold Bad Daddy's and
Cantina 1511, invited
Barry to a tryout of sorts
at his newly opened
Midwood Smokehouse
in Plaza Midwood. Barry
served Scibelli a smoked
whole chicken, coated in
his homemade rub and
accompanied by a sauce
he created. Two days
later, Scibelli hired him as
pitmaster.
In May 2015, the pair
opened a second location
in Toringdon Market,
bringing a custom-made
smoker with them. A
Charlotte native, Barry
has continued to grow his
'cue credentials, including
Barbecue Camp at Texas
A&M; University and
extensive time at storied
pits in Texas. His favorite
thing on the restaurant's
menu? "I'm a ribs guy," he
confesses. "I snack on 'em
all day long."
The interior of Midwood
Smokehouse is rustic chic.
