Sweets and Meats: Local couple’s delicious hobby becomes business

"Barbecue brings people together. We have a passion for people. We've always loved hosting our friends and family at home. We had friends that would say, 'Why don't you open a restaurant?' We thought they were just complimenting us because it was free. Who complains about free food?" "Sweets" uses interns from Cincinnati Job Corp, and Kristen graduated from Mortar, a local business accelerator, while she still worked full time at a local bank. "Meats" has become Anton's full time passion. Kristen said of Anton, "We did a lot of dreaming together if you will, and it's the one thing he's always been passionate about is barbecue."
