Food Truck Catering
Catering in Bangor, ME
Smoke follows the wind off the Penobscot, and on a good Bangor afternoon, you want it landing somewhere near your lunch. Smokin Zo's brings the low-and-slow craft of real pit BBQ right into the middle of everyday city life — brisket with a bark that took twelve hours to earn, ribs that don't need a fork, pulled pork that makes a weekday feel like a Saturday. This is backyard-cookout warmth, scaled up and rolled out.

Venues & Event Locations
Essex Street Recreation Area draws the kind of Bangor crowd that shows up ready to move and leaves ready to eat, and Smokin Zo's setup there turns that appetite into something worth remembering. Over at Chadbourne Hall, the line for a smoked-brisket plate forms fast — college schedules may vary, but hunger doesn't. And when Orono Municipal Pool is busy with summer energy, a pulled-pork sandwich from Smokin Zo's is the unofficial end-of-swim tradition.
Maine has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Maine jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.

John
Food Truck Booking Agent
Energetic coordination and strong vendor communication from someone who has worked across 13 trucks.
With 8 years of hands-on food truck and catering experience behind him, John pairs each event to the right BBQ setup while sorting the pieces that keep smoked favorites for hungry guests moving on schedule — permitting, parking, COIs, and timing. He's worked fire inspections and permits in Denver and carried that same eye across Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Sacramento, and Washington, DC. Ask about his toughest save and he'll mention the Ontario job where a blown radiator hose nearly stalled the trailer; he got the driver into a replacement truck fast enough that the smoky BBQ comfort food still landed on time, and the client rebooked the next year.
- Worked across 13 different food trucks since 2020
- Responsive vendor communication and coordination focus
John will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
