Food Truck Catering
Catering in De Witt, NY
Come late afternoon on a weekday in De Witt, the kind of cold that reminds you exactly where you are in upstate New York settles in fast — and what people reach for is something substantial, something warm, something that took all day to get right. That is precisely where slow-smoked barbecue earns its place: brisket held at temperature until every fiber yields, ribs with a bark that crackles before it gives way, pulled pork that carries the smoke ring all the way to the center. Smokin Zo's brings that level of craft directly into the rhythms of this community, ready for the moments that matter and the ones that just happen.

What We Cater in De Witt, NY
The character of De Witt — a community that blends collegiate energy with established neighborhood life, all within the broader Syracuse metro — creates natural demand for a food concept that can hold its own at any scale. Barbecue excels here precisely because it is built for volume without sacrificing soul: a tray of slow-smoked brisket feeds fifty people with the same care it would feed five. That kind of reliable generosity is exactly what event planners and community organizers need when the guest list grows.

Venues & Event Locations
At Le Moyne College, where the pace of academic life creates natural gathering moments between commitments, a barbecue truck parked on campus elevates an ordinary afternoon into something students remember. Down at the Amphitheater, where the open-air layout practically begs for the kind of communal eating that smoked meats inspire, Smokin Zo's has found one of its most natural homes in De Witt. Meanwhile, evenings near Middle Ages Brewing Company take on an entirely different dimension when slow-smoked ribs are part of the equation alongside a well-poured craft brew.
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 Town of De Witt.
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.
