Food Truck Catering
Catering in Forney, TX
Walk the grounds of Forney on a warm evening and something in the air gives the whole city away — that low, sweet oakwood smoke that means someone nearby is taking their time with the meat. Smokin Zo's is built on exactly that patience: brisket rested until the bark goes almost black, ribs with a smoke ring that tells you the work was done honestly, pulled pork that falls apart because it was never rushed. This is barbecue as a practice, and Forney is a city that understands the difference.

What We Cater in Forney, TX
Forney sits at that productive edge where suburban energy meets a genuinely rooted community identity — Friday nights mean something here, neighborhood gatherings draw real crowds, and people show up hungry in the best possible way. A BBQ truck built on hearty, generous portions and the kind of warmth that feels like someone's backyard is exactly what this city asks for. The food travels well and feeds large groups without fuss, which matters when the crowd is real and the appetite is collective.

Venues & Event Locations
On game days at EH Hanby Stadium, the parking areas fill early and the mood runs high — it's exactly the kind of scene where smoked brisket served from a truck becomes part of the memory rather than just the meal. Across town, Jackrabbit Stadium draws its own devoted crowd, and the energy there calls for food that can hold its own against the noise and the excitement. Come a weekend afternoon, Forney Community Park offers something quieter but no less meaningful — families spreading out across the green, the kind of relaxed outdoor gathering where pulled pork and cold drinks feel less like catering and more like the main event. The pool complex at Opal Lawrence Pool brings a whole different summer crowd, and Smokin Zo's fits into that scene the way good barbecue always does: naturally, without needing an introduction.
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 Forney.
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.
