Food Truck Catering
Catering in Ansonia, CT
Tuesday morning in Ansonia, someone is already thinking about lunch — and in a city that runs on routine, the best routines involve smoke. Low-and-slow BBQ has a way of reordering a person's day: suddenly the brisket is the plan, and everything else works around it. Smokin Zo's brings that kind of wood-fired gravity straight to the streets of Ansonia, where a proper meal isn't a luxury — it's just what the afternoon deserves.

What We Cater in Ansonia, CT
Cold New England winters give BBQ a purpose beyond pleasure — smoked pulled pork and slow-cooked ribs are genuinely warming in a way that a desk-lunch simply isn't. Ansonia is a working city, and working cities want food that matches their effort: real portions, real smoke, real craft. Smokin Zo's delivers exactly that, with the kind of backyard-cookout warmth that translates just as well to a parking lot as it does to a backyard.

Connecticut does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Ansonia.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Simon
Food Truck Booking Agent
Hands-on food truck experience, billing awareness, and event-tested operational perspective.
A decade in catering shaped how Simon plans BBQ built for real events, with 3 years leading prep kitchens behind 7 years of hands-on truck work, including buying and prepping for up to ten trucks a day to keep hundreds of guests fed with smoked favorites. That background includes recurring Southwest Airlines service for roughly 1,200 employees per event alongside brand work for Kroger, Amazon, and FedEx, plus a fall festival that jumped from about 100 guests to nearly 300, where Simon drove back for extra inventory so ticket times and food quality never slipped. His fire-safety know-how and feel for line-speed help him plan BBQ service that keeps the event moving, no matter how the guest count shifts.
- Worked across 1,000+ events and commissary operations
- Strong on billing, event flow, and booking support
Simon will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
