At Boshamer Stadium, the energy of a packed crowd calls for food that can hold its own against the noise and excitement — and slow-smoked brisket does exactly that. Della Street Park draws the kind of easygoing afternoon gatherings where pulled pork and good company make the hours disappear. The Paul Green Theatre crowd, fresh off a performance and still riding that creative high, finds Smokin Zo's to be the perfect reason to linger a little longer.
North Carolina has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any North Carolina jurisdiction is accepted statewide.

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.
