Food Truck Catering
Catering in Frankfort, IN
When Frankfort gathers, the cold continental air and the company of a real crowd create an appetite that fast food was never going to satisfy. Smokin Zo's arrives with the kind of BBQ that was already cooking before most people even checked the weather — brisket resting under a proper bark, ribs with a smoke ring that announces itself before the first bite. This is the food that belongs at Frankfort's gathering spots.

What We Cater in Frankfort, IN
A mid-size Midwest city in cold continental Indiana doesn't mess around with flimsy food choices, and neither does Smokin Zo's. The hearty, smoke-forward weight of pulled pork and slow-rendered brisket is exactly what a crowd needs when they've come together for something that matters — a festival, a reunion, a fundraiser, a day that deserves more than a drive-through. BBQ this patient fits a town that understands patience.

Venues & Event Locations
Dorner Park is the kind of open green space that just begs for a smoke cloud and a line of people who are genuinely excited about lunch — Smokin Zo's has served that crowd well there. Out at Camp Walter S. Fowler, where groups come to unplug and connect, the arrival of a proper BBQ truck turns a good retreat into a great memory. When the Clinton County Courthouse square fills up for a civic occasion, Smokin Zo's is the kind of presence that gives the whole event a sense of occasion.
Under HB 1577 (effective January 1, 2027), Indiana has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Indiana jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Frankfort.
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.

John
Food Truck Booking Agent
Energetic coordination and strong vendor communication from someone who has worked across 13 trucks.
With 8 years of hands-on food truck and catering experience behind him, John pairs each event to the right BBQ setup while sorting the pieces that keep smoked favorites for hungry guests moving on schedule — permitting, parking, COIs, and timing. He's worked fire inspections and permits in Denver and carried that same eye across Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Sacramento, and Washington, DC. Ask about his toughest save and he'll mention the Ontario job where a blown radiator hose nearly stalled the trailer; he got the driver into a replacement truck fast enough that the smoky BBQ comfort food still landed on time, and the client rebooked the next year.
- Worked across 13 different food trucks since 2020
- Responsive vendor communication and coordination focus
John will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
