Code 1 Opens New Restaurant in Wilmington, MA
In a busy Wilmington shopping plaza, home-cooked barbecue awaits - The Boston Globe
The backstory: It’s a smoldering love story: Erica and Sean Marchant met at the Texas Roadhouse in Everett. She was a head trainer; he was a faithful customer. But they never would have imagined that they’d own their own restaurant 20 years later. Erica attended North Shore Community College to study culinary arts back in the day, but she eventually segued to corporate life. Sean was in the Air Force. (Code 1 is an Air Force term indicating an aircraft that’s in perfect condition.) During COVID, they enjoyed watching televised BBQ battles, and their at-home cooking hobby took off. They decided to try catering.
