Food Truck Catering
Catering in Amherst, NY
Every great rack of ribs starts hours before anyone takes a bite, and that unhurried commitment to craft has a natural home in Amherst, a community that has always valued substance over shortcuts. Colorado Pig Rig runs on that same philosophy — bark, smoke ring, and the kind of pull that only comes from genuine low-and-slow technique. It's the right food for a city that built its character the same way.

What We Cater in Amherst, NY
A mid-size city in the Buffalo metro with winters that bite and summers that earn their keep, Amherst draws people outdoors the moment the season allows — to parks, to community greens, to the kinds of open-air gatherings where a plate of pulled pork or a rack of ribs feels exactly right. The cold-continental climate here makes warm, hearty food more than a preference; it makes it a local institution. Colorado Pig Rig is built for exactly that kind of crowd.

Venues & Event Locations
Out at Ellicott Creek Trailway Park, where the trails thread through some of Amherst's best outdoor scenery, Colorado Pig Rig has set up for events that draw families and community members who show up expecting something real — and the smoke delivers. Eggertsville Community Park carries its own neighborhood pride, the kind of crowd where a properly smoked rib rack gets the attention it deserves. And at Heath & Mildred Triangle, a smaller but genuinely local gathering point, Colorado Pig Rig's setup turns a modest open space into a destination worth finding.
New York 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 Amherst.
Colorado Pig Rig 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.
