Food Truck Catering
Catering in Elkhorn, WI
Pull into Elkhorn on a weekend and you'll notice two things fast: people here actually talk to each other, and they're always a little hungry. Smokin Zo's is built for exactly that combination — slow-smoked meats with a smoke ring worth pointing at, warmth that starts in the pit and ends somewhere around the second helping. Wisconsin winters earn this kind of food, and Elkhorn's summers are the perfect excuse to serve it outside.

Venues & Event Locations
On the grounds of the Elkhorn Soccer Complex, where weekend tournaments turn parents into a very patient, very hungry audience, Smokin Zo's pulled pork shows up like a reward for good behavior. Ferro Pavilion brings a different kind of energy — civic, celebratory, the kind of gathering where a properly smoked brisket feels almost ceremonial. Over at Aram Public Library, community events take on a warmer character when the smell of real BBQ is part of the afternoon air.
Wisconsin has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Wisconsin jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Elkhorn.
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.

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.
