BBQ Restaurant Closes In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — Roscoe’s Traveling Smokehouse has closed just six months after opening at its location on South Colony Road in Wallingford, but the owners are hoping that someone new can continue what they started, the Meriden Record-Journal reports.

Brothers Dave Silvia and Tony "Roscoe" Silvia owned and operated the popular barbecue food truck before deciding to open the restaurant in the former longtime home of Anthony’s Subs last year.

Dave Silvia recently wrote on the Roscoe's Traveling Smokehouse Facebook page that they are entertaining offers to buy their Wallingford location and the food trailer.

“Chef Roscoe has recently experienced some health issues that is keeping him from continuing to operate ...,” Dave Silvia wrote in the post. “Whoever buys the business will have the opportunity to use our recipes and business name and continue what we started.. we are even offering to stay on for several months to train new owners ...

“Restaurant is completely up to codes and has recently been completely remodeled … the food trailer is a year old , state of the art and both are ready to go ( turn key )

“Thanks for your patronage ... and kind words … keep an eye out for the reopening and hopefully the same ‘q’ you have grown to love …”
