Venues & Event Locations
Lakeside Park City Hall draws civic energy and community pride in equal measure, making it a natural stage for the kind of crowd that appreciates real smoked BBQ served fresh off the truck. Over at Gateway Community & Technical College, a lunch crowd that runs on curiosity and ambition has learned that Smokin Zo's parked on campus means the afternoon is already looking up. When the neighbors at Hempsteade HOA Park (Private) come together for a private gathering, the smoker rolls in and the whole block knows something good is happening.

Jess
Food Truck Booking Agent
Compassionate follow-up and organized menu support backed by commissary operations experience.
Jess judges good BBQ by the bark on a properly rendered brisket, and she brings that same attention to detail into planning smoky BBQ comfort food for real events. Her signature advice is to factor in the crowd's demographic mix, not just headcount, since vendor meals and service style change how much a group actually eats — a lesson proven across a 5,000-guest Southwest Airlines event and a 5-day stretch prepping 10 trucks for 50 events serving about 7,500 guests, each truck stocked with the right menu and inventory. Before smoke ever hits the pit for your event, she's also checking insurance, safety compliance, references, and fire-risk gaps so BBQ service keeps the event moving.
- Commissary inventory and kitchen ops for 10+ trucks
- Strong on follow-up, menu support, and client clarity
Jess will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
