Food Truck Catering
Catering in Chestnut Ridge, NY
At a gathering in Chestnut Ridge, the moment the smoke smell hits the parking lot, the conversation stops and the line starts — and that's exactly the effect Smokin Zo's is designed to create. Built on low-and-slow craft, the menu runs from bark-crusted brisket to pulled pork with a smoke ring that earns its reputation, and every plate arrives with the kind of backyard-cookout warmth that makes large events feel personal. In a place where community actually shows up for its events, the food had better show up too.

Venues & Event Locations
Woodcliff Lake Historic Park offers the kind of open-air setting where a BBQ service line becomes part of the event's atmosphere rather than a logistical afterthought — Smokin Zo's has worked venues like it and knows how to set up for maximum flow and minimum chaos. Over at Ramapo College of New Jersey, student events and institutional programming bring exactly the kind of volume that tests a food operation's capacity, and the truck delivers without the service slowing to a crawl midway through the rush. The Tappan Zee Hotel provides a more formal context, and Smokin Zo's stages cleanly to support it — smoke outside, presentation inside, guests satisfied throughout.
New York 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 Village of Chestnut Ridge.
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.
