Food Truck Catering
Catering in Callaway, FL
Before Panama City Beach became a postcard, Callaway was already here — steady, working, rooted — and it still carries that authenticity in the texture of its daily life. That groundedness is exactly what smoked BBQ was made for: a cuisine built on patience, on craft, on the kind of flavor you can't rush. When Smokin Zo's rolls into Callaway, the pit smoke rising off the truck isn't a novelty; it's a language this community already speaks.

What We Cater in Callaway, FL
Callaway's humid subtropical air carries heat and moisture in equal measure, and there's something almost conspiratorial about the way that climate coaxes smoke into meat low and slow over hardwood. A community this grounded in everyday life — not tourist spectacle, but actual neighborhoods, actual gatherings — is exactly the setting where a brisket carved off the flat, or a rack of ribs with a proper tug, lands the way it's supposed to: satisfying in the bones.

At Henry Brooks Memorial Walking Park, there's a built-in crowd of people in motion — locals who've made the loop a daily ritual and who recognize good smoke from fifty yards out. Smokin Zo's in that setting isn't just a truck; it's the best reason to end the walk early. Bay Memorial Park offers a different kind of moment: larger gatherings, community events, the full-spread setup where a carved brisket and a pile of ribs become the center of gravity. When the late show lets out at PC Cinemas and people are still deciding where to land, a smoked-meat option in the parking lot answers that question before it's even fully formed.
Under CS/HB1193 (effective July 1, 2020), Florida has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Florida jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Callaway.
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.

Kaleb
Food Truck Booking Agent
Detail-oriented booking support shaped by real truck and catering experience.
Backup planning is where Kaleb earns his keep — when a contractor's wheel bearing gave out en route to an event, he had a replacement smoked-meats truck on site in under 20 minutes, no dropped service. That instinct for fast, calm coordination is the same thing that let him shift a 200-guest wedding from buffet to BBQ truck service on just 30 minutes' notice. Before he'll put his name behind a truck for your event, he checks current fire extinguishers, valid health and fire licenses, and coolers that are labeled and organized, because generous portions and bold flavor only matter if the setup behind them holds up.
- Hands-on experience across 12 trucks and catering companies
- Strong on organization, communication, and execution
Kaleb will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
