Venues & Event Locations
At Davidson College, where the calendar is dense with speakers, reunions, and campus traditions, Smokin Zo's has served the kind of crowd that wants a meal substantial enough to match a full day. Plum Creek Park offers a different scene — more relaxed, more open — where a long afternoon and a plate of slow-smoked pulled pork feel like they were made for each other. Closer to home for many Davidson families, the Toddlers Swan Swing area proves that even the most neighborhood-scale gatherings deserve barbecue worth remembering.
North Carolina has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any North Carolina jurisdiction is accepted statewide.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the Town of Davidson.
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.
