Sweets & Meats BBQ is shutting down operations in Cincinnati. This food truck has operated in the city for 12 years, according to a report by WLWT.

Owners Kristen Bailey and Anton Gaffney stated "unpredictable environment, a recent health diagnosis and financial realities" as the primary reasons for shutting down the food truck.

"For the past 12 years, this business has been more than a livelihood — it has been our life's work. We poured everything we had into serving this community, making countless sacrifices along the way in hopes of building something lasting and meaningful," the restaurant owners announced on Facebook.
