Food Truck Catering
Catering in Canton, MS
On a Canton morning, before the heat settles in, the smell of hickory smoke is already doing its work — low and patient, the way good barbecue demands. Smokin Zo's is built on that same unhurried principle: brisket held until the bark sets deep, ribs that give without a fight, pulled pork carrying the kind of flavor that only time in the smoke can build. It's the food this Southern city already understands, served fresh from the truck.

Venues & Event Locations
Set up near the Canton Train Museum, Smokin Zo's fits right into a district where history and community overlap — the kind of place where a smoked-rib plate feels like part of the story. Events coordinated through Canton Tourism often land in the city's most recognizable spots, and Smokin Zo's has served at enough of them to know how Canton likes to eat. When the team at Merit Health Madison gathers to celebrate, slow-smoked pulled pork and brisket make the occasion feel like it was planned with care.
Mississippi has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Mississippi jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Canton.
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.

Jess
Food Truck Booking Agent
Compassionate follow-up and organized menu support backed by commissary operations experience.
Jess judges good BBQ by the bark on a properly rendered brisket, and she brings that same attention to detail into planning smoky BBQ comfort food for real events. Her signature advice is to factor in the crowd's demographic mix, not just headcount, since vendor meals and service style change how much a group actually eats — a lesson proven across a 5,000-guest Southwest Airlines event and a 5-day stretch prepping 10 trucks for 50 events serving about 7,500 guests, each truck stocked with the right menu and inventory. Before smoke ever hits the pit for your event, she's also checking insurance, safety compliance, references, and fire-risk gaps so BBQ service keeps the event moving.
- Commissary inventory and kitchen ops for 10+ trucks
- Strong on follow-up, menu support, and client clarity
Jess will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
