Food Truck Catering
Catering in Eastpointe, MI
The east side of metro Detroit doesn't slow down for much, but it will slow down for good smoked meat — and that's the whole premise behind Smokin Zo's. Hardwood smoke, time, and a genuine craft approach produce the kind of BBQ that earns a regular spot in someone's week. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork: the classics done with the patience they actually require, ready when the workday breaks.

Venues & Event Locations
The crowd coming off the floor at Wayne State University - Advanced Technology knows a good lunch window when they see one, and Smokin Zo's has been part of that midday break. On game days and community events at Hamtramck Stadium, the pull of smoked meat cuts right through the crowd noise — there's a reason the line forms early. Over at the Mack Athletic Complex, post-practice hunger is a serious thing, and a tray of properly smoked ribs handles it without apology.
Michigan has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Michigan jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Eastpointe.

Thomas
Food Truck Booking Agent
Real-world truck builder and operator perspective for practical, grounded event booking.
Thomas holds every truck to the same bar: full health and safety compliance, clear insurance coverage, reliable past performance, and a setup that stays organized once guests start lining up for smoky BBQ comfort food. Working within Denver Department of Public Health & Environment requirements and Denver Fire Department standards is second nature to him, and when a generator cut out mid-event, he found the low-oil safety shutdown, topped it off, and had smoked favorites for hungry guests back on track in minutes. Ask him how to plan BBQ service that keeps the event moving, and he'll tell you it starts with the flow, not just the menu.
- Built 200+ custom food trucks through fabrication work
- Operator + builder perspective for practical fit
Thomas will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
