Food Truck Catering
Catering in Franklin Town, MA
Pull into Franklin Town on any given warm-season evening and you'll find a place that takes its downtime seriously — outdoor spaces in use, routines winding down, appetites ramping up. Smokin Zo's meets that moment with low-and-slow smoked BBQ: the kind of brisket that required genuine commitment, ribs that know what they're doing, and pulled pork that carries the warmth of a backyard cookout even when the cookout is a truck parked on a town green. Cold New England winters make the smoke taste sweeter when it finally arrives.

What We Cater in Franklin Town, MA
The rhythms of Franklin Town — outdoor parks used without apology, a highway corridor that feeds a working-class commuter culture, open weekends that people actually spend outside — are exactly the rhythms a BBQ truck is built to run alongside. Hearty food that travels well, fills up an honest hunger, and gives a crowd something to talk about: that's the fit. And in a city with Boston on one side and open Massachusetts countryside on the other, the appetite for something rich and smoke-kissed is never in short supply.

Venues & Event Locations
Smokin Zo's has set up near Choate Park West where the late-afternoon crowd drifts between the fields and the parking lot, and the smell of smoked meat has a way of making that drift last a little longer. The stretch near Hartford Ave and I-495 catches the commuter-to-weekend transition in real time — a natural pit stop for anyone who just spent an hour in traffic and deserves something better than a drive-through. And at the Dean Junior College Historic District, there's a campus energy that pairs surprisingly well with a well-built BBQ plate.
Massachusetts does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the Town of Franklin.
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.

Simon
Food Truck Booking Agent
Hands-on food truck experience, billing awareness, and event-tested operational perspective.
A decade in catering shaped how Simon plans BBQ built for real events, with 3 years leading prep kitchens behind 7 years of hands-on truck work, including buying and prepping for up to ten trucks a day to keep hundreds of guests fed with smoked favorites. That background includes recurring Southwest Airlines service for roughly 1,200 employees per event alongside brand work for Kroger, Amazon, and FedEx, plus a fall festival that jumped from about 100 guests to nearly 300, where Simon drove back for extra inventory so ticket times and food quality never slipped. His fire-safety know-how and feel for line-speed help him plan BBQ service that keeps the event moving, no matter how the guest count shifts.
- Worked across 1,000+ events and commissary operations
- Strong on billing, event flow, and booking support
Simon will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
