CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most-watched television days of the year in the U.S., and one of the things viewers look forward to is the iconic commercials.
As millions of people tune in for the big game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, they will also see a small piece of Cincinnati.
The beloved barbecue restaurant and food truck, Sweets & Meats, clinched a covenant spot for a 30-second commercial for Super Bowl LIX.
Co-owners Kristen Bailey and Antony Gaffney's story starts in a Mt. Washington parking lot in 2014.
On the weekends, Bailey and Gaffney would serve barbecue and all the fixins from a tent outside the Creamy Whip. Two years later, they upgraded to a food truck, and in 2017, they acquired a space for catering services.
Today, the business has a sit-down restaurant in Avondale and continues to serve food across Greater Cincinnati in their barbecue joint on wheels.
Sweets & Meats is one of 50 small businesses being featured on a Google campaign commercial for their 50 Stories, 50 States Workspace with Gemini.
Each business represents its home state, and Sweets & Meats is Ohio.
"Each of these small businesses is driving the American economy -- and for this first-of-its-kind project, we're spotlighting their innovation, grit and hard work, as they find new and incredible ways to use AI to transform how they work and do more of what they love," wrote contributor Molly McHugh-Johnson.
The commercial opens with Gaffney sharing a personal narrative.
"My grandfather taught me everything I know," he says. "My better half and I love dealing with our food trucks and our sit-down restaurant."
The owner goes into why Gemini, a "family of AI" software, helps the couple's booking process, specifically in Google Sheets.
"Gemini in Google Sheets helps us see available local events that we can apply for before 300 other food trucks," Gaffney says.
FOX19 NOW reached out to Bailey for comment and is waiting to hear back.
In addition to the commercial, Sweets & Meats is already getting into the football spirit with its Super Bowl 2025 menu.
Super Bowl LIX will air on FOX19 NOW Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m.
