Food Truck Catering
Catering in Bennington, VT
Brisket doesn't bluff — it either spent the hours in the smoke or it didn't, and the moment you slice into it, you know. Bennington is the kind of city that understands that distinction: a place with a genuine downtown, a community that shows up for its own events, and a palate that knows the difference between food made carefully and food made fast. Smokin Zo's is built for exactly this crowd, bringing the full low-and-slow tradition — bark, smoke ring, and all — to Vermont's southwestern corner.

Venues & Event Locations
At the Community College of Vermont, events call for food that feels generous and unpretentious — a BBQ spread answers that exactly. The Vermont Veterans Home Deer Park hosts occasions where the meal itself is part of the tribute, and there's no better way to honor that than with something slow-smoked and made with genuine care. Solomon Wright Library has welcomed the kind of community programming where a food truck parked outside turns an ordinary evening into a real neighborhood event.
Vermont has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Vermont jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the Town of Bennington.
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.
