Sweets & Meats BBQ, a staple for Cincinnati barbecue lovers, is fighting to keep its Avondale spot open after a tough year. Owner Kristen Bailey opened the dine-in location hoping to bring more stability to her team and serve the neighborhood, but rising food and labor costs, fewer catering contracts, and stricter city rules on food trucks have made things nearly impossible. Bailey says she’s paying triple for supplies but can’t raise prices enough to keep up. It’s a tough moment for a business that’s been part of the community for over a decade. What do you think—should the city step in to help local favorites like this? #Food #CincinnatiEats #SupportLocal
