BBQ food truck opening brick-and-mortar restaurant in a Cincinnati neighborhood

The brick-and-mortar will also serve as a commissary for Sweets & Meats' catering business. The food truck will remain in service, but Bailey said it will scale back and focus on private events and larger food truck festivals. The food truck spent the last year in a blitz, attending as many festivals and events as possible to get the word out. Bailey intends to initially open the restaurant Fridays through Sundays. It will operate as a carry-out restaurant with no indoor seating. Sweets & Meats is a graduate of small business accelerator Mortar's first class in Walnut Hills in 2015. Bailey credits the program for her ability to open a brick-and-mortar store after just more than two years in business.
