Food Truck Catering
Catering in Boston, MA
Smoke drifts through Boston differently than anywhere else — past brownstones and brick, over the Charles, through neighborhoods that have been arguing about the best cookout since before anyone was keeping score. Smokin Zo's brings low-and-slow BBQ into that conversation: brisket with a proper bark, ribs that pull clean, and pulled pork slow-cooked until the patience pays off. This is backyard-cookout warmth scaled up for a city that takes its gatherings seriously.

Roxbury Heritage State Park carries the weight of community memory, and a Smokin Zo's setup there fits the gathering energy like it was always part of the plan. Over near Fenway Park, where the city's collective heartbeat spikes on event days, slow-smoked brisket and cold-weather crowds make a natural pairing. Horatio Harris Park draws a different crowd — more neighborhood, more local — but the hunger is just as real, and Smokin Zo's meets it there too.
Massachusetts 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 Boston.
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.
