Venues & Event Locations
The Coliseum draws the kind of crowds that expect the event experience to extend well beyond the main stage, and Smokin Zo's is a natural fit for the pre-show and intermission energy that makes a venue night feel complete. North Central Texas College hosts events where students and faculty are looking for something genuinely satisfying — slow-smoked proteins and housemade sides deliver that in a way boxed catering never could. At the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, where the whole point is an elevated experience, Smokin Zo's brings a food element that holds up to the venue's own high standards.
Under HB 2844 (effective July 1, 2026), Texas has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any Texas jurisdiction is accepted statewide.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with Denton.
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.

David
Senior Booking Agent
Owner-operator experience across 11 trucks, 10 concepts, and real booking operations.
With over 3,000 truck events across ten concepts under his belt, David treats every host conversation as its own puzzle, matching menu, guest count, and timing to a setup that actually works on the ground. He's the one who kept Chevron fed at 1,500 meals a day for a month straight and held FedEx together at roughly 1,200 meals a weekend through Covid, experience that shows up now in his backup planning and quick pivots from truck to buffet when equipment gives out mid-event. That same problem-solving pushed him to help pass Colorado's statewide health and fire reciprocity bill, cutting through the old jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction mess so smoky BBQ comfort food can travel further without the friction.
- Owned and operated 11 food trucks across 10 concepts
- Commissary, ghost kitchen, and planning-flow experience
David will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
