Food Truck Catering
Catering in Burbank, CA
On the right kind of Burbank afternoon — the ones where parks fill up and nobody's in a hurry — a properly smoked brisket is exactly what the moment calls for. Smokin Zo's works with the same patient logic: low heat, real wood smoke, and enough time to build the kind of bark and smoke ring that earns its reputation. This is BBQ that matches the warmth Burbank already brings to every gathering it hosts.

What We Cater in Burbank, CA
The gatherings that define Burbank — school events, weekend park days, campus celebrations — call for food that can do real work. Smoked BBQ is built for that kind of duty: it travels well, holds beautifully, and serves a hundred people with the same quality it delivers to ten. In a city where community events are taken seriously, a food truck that brings the full pit experience is a genuine asset.

Venues & Event Locations
At Larry L. Maxam Memorial Park, weekend gatherings take on a relaxed, communal energy that pairs naturally with slow-smoked BBQ and paper trays piled high. Woodbury University's event calendar brings together students, faculty, and the broader Burbank community in ways that a full pit spread can anchor with real presence. And when Robert R. Ovrom Park hosts its weekend crowds, Smokin Zo's turns a simple afternoon outside into the kind of meal people mention on the drive home.
California 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 Burbank.
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.
