Something spicy on Center Street Wo's Wicked Fine BBQ brings barbecue to Bangor By Allen Adams edge staff writer BANGOR - Going to a new restaurant is always a bit of a gamble. It's difficult for us to leave our comfort zones sometimes – especially when it comes to food. However, it is only by trying new places that we can make new food discoveries. And some of those discoveries have the potential to drastically alter your dining outlook. And so we come to Wo's Wicked Fine BBQ, recently opened at 97 Center Street here in Bangor. Wo's is owned by the Wentworth family and operated by sisters CeCe and Maggie Wentworth. This is the second location for Wo's; the original is a seasonal spot that opened on Verona Island three years ago. Opening the new place has been a labor of love for the Wentworths. The sisters had been talking about the possibility of bringing Wo's to Bangor for some time, but when things started, they moved quickly. "It was kind of spur of the moment," said CeCe Wentworth. "Our parents had [the restaurant] on Verona Island and we'd been working there. We happened on this place and kind of decided to do it in early September and spent the fall and early winter getting ready." Wo's opened for business on Dec. 28. The restaurant offers barbecue chicken, ribs and pulled pork – all of it slow-cooked. Also, they offer up some homemade side dishes, such as hand-cut French fries, baked beans and coleslaw. All of it is done with a personal touch. "We try hard to keep things fresh and homemade," said Maggie Wentworth. "We chop our own coleslaw, make our own dressing." "There's nothing we'd use besides hand-pulled meats," added CeCe. At the core of Wo's great-tasting menu is the signature sauce. Wentworth started making barbecue sauce about 20 years ago for family and friends. The reaction was so positive that word spread about "Uncle Wo's Sauce," and so 13 years ago, he began bottling and distributing the sauce out of his Verona home. The sauce led to the Verona Island location, which in turn has led to the addition of Wo's to Bangor's culinary scene. Wo's offers dine-in or takeout, as well as delivery through One Call Restaurant delivery. The restaurant can be reached at 990-5432
