Popular Barbecue Restaurant Opens One Of Several New Locations in This North Carolina Airport
Want a bite of delicious Tar Heel state barbecue before you head out of town or just when the wheels touch down? A popular barbecue restaurant opens one of several locations in this North Carolina airport. I just tried Midwood Smokehouse barbecue in Charlotte for the first time this weekend and it was delicious. I grew up in Shelby, North Carolina, home of delicious barbecue, and I hate to say it but it was the best I have ever had. Sorry Shelby people.
Midwood Smokehouse opened its new 115 seat location at concourse B at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Now everyone the world over will be able to see why North Carolina rules when it comes to good barbecue. Midwood is catching on. This is their fourth location in Charlotte and their seventh location company wide according to Channel 9.
The founder and CEO, Frank Scibelli, tells Channel 9 that Midwood is great for the North Carolina airport because barbecue is liked by just about everyone in any demographic. His company, the FS food group is behind restaurants you may have heard of like Mama Ricotta’s, Paco’s Tacos and Tequilla and Yafo Kitchen to name a few.
Scibelli tells Channel 9, “I think we are going to be very successful here”. For a town that knows good barbecue and for discerning food lovers everyone, I must agree. To learn more get details here from Channel 9.
12 Types Of People You'll Definitely See At A Barbecue
The Grill Guru
The master of the grill. The Grill Guru confidently flips burgers and searing juicy steaks, armed with secret seasonings and a passion for grilling. The grill guru is so passionate that they probably won’t let you near the grill. And if they do, prepare to be schooled on how to properly grill.
The Backyard Athlete
Prepare to witness the self-proclaimed sports superstar of the barbecue. This person takes every opportunity to showcase their athletic ability in the simplest of backyard games. Whether it’s a casual game of horseshoes or a friendly round of cornhole, they approach it with a level of intensity that rivals professional athletes. They may not have a trophy cabinet to show off, but their exaggerated victory celebrations and constant reminders of their “unbeatable” skills make them an, um, “entertaining” addition to the barbecue festivities. You’ll pretty much be exhausted by the time their competitive edge comes down.
The Plate-Stacker
This person is notorious for loading their plate with excessive food, showing no restraint when it comes to enjoying the barbecue feast. It’s okay, dude, the food isn’t going anywhere.
The Snack Seeker
A relentless snacker, always on the hunt for the tastiest pre-grill treats, conquering every chip, dip, and appetizer in sight. They may even snag a bite or two from the food fresh off the grill.
The Designated Diner
The person who possesses the magical ability to remain firmly planted in their seat while effortlessly acquiring a full plate of food. With impeccable timing and a keen eye, they navigate the food line from their comfortable spot, expertly signaling for others to fetch them their food. Their plate always seems to be mysteriously overflowing with an assortment of meats, sides, and desserts, as if they have a secret connection to the kitchen.
The Chillaxer
There is almost always one person who has perfected the art of unwinding and chilling out. They can be found in their designated relaxation spot, whether it’s a hammock, a comfortable lawn chair, or a cozy nook with a book. With a serene smile on their face, they embody a sense of tranquility, fully immersing themselves in the laid-back ambiance of the barbecue.
The Makeshift Bartender
This person is always on the lookout for empty glasses, constantly checking if anyone else would like another beer, showcasing their generous and attentive nature. They effortlessly navigate between guests, effortlessly balancing their own glass while refilling others, ensuring that everyone’s drink preferences are catered to. Their dedication to keeping the drinks flowing is unmatched. Need a refill? Well, they’ve got you covered.
The Aspiring DJ

The Perpetual Guest

The Vegan Advocate
With a strong belief in their dietary choices, they proudly advocate for plant-based living. While their commitment to a vegan lifestyle is commendable, their enthusiasm can sometimes come across as obnoxious. They can’t resist taking every opportunity to remind everyone about the ethical, environmental, and health benefits of a vegan lifestyle. Whether it’s passionately discussing the horrors of factory farming or offering unsolicited advice on meat alternatives, they can sometimes become overbearing.
