Catering in Bloomington, IN
Bloomington has a particular talent for drawing people outdoors and keeping them there — and Colorado Pig Rig has a particular talent for making that time around the smoker feel like the best decision anyone made all day. Slow-smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, pulled pork piled high: this is the food that turns a gathering into a memory. Bring the smoke, and Bloomington does the rest.

What We Cater in Bloomington, IN
Bloomington is a city that knows how to assemble — around a game, a festival, a farmer's market, a cause worth showing up for. Hearty smoked food fits that rhythm the way a long afternoon fits a cold continental winter: fully and without apology. Pulled pork and brisket aren't just lunch; they're the reason a group of strangers starts talking.

Venues & Event Locations
Out at Griffy Lake Nature Preserve, where the tree line meets the water and hikers linger longer than they planned, a BBQ truck parked at the trailhead becomes the best part of the story everyone tells later. The Waldron, Hill and Buskirk Park — the green, open stretch locals call Third Street Park — draws crowds for everything from pickup games to community events, and smoked ribs have a way of turning a casual afternoon there into a full occasion. When Upland Brewing Company hosts an outdoor event on their grounds, Colorado Pig Rig's smoke in the air is the kind of detail that makes the evening unforgettable.
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 Bloomington.
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.

John
Food Truck Booking Agent
Energetic coordination and strong vendor communication from someone who has worked across 13 trucks.
Big BBQ events live or die on service speed, permitting, parking, COIs, and timing, and John built his eye for matching the right concept to the right crowd across Los Angeles, Denver, Miami, and Ontario, CA. He once talked a stranded driver through a highway breakdown — a blown radiator hose on the way to an Ontario event — arranging a replacement truck so the trailer still rolled in on time, a save that brought the client back the following year. His take on planning a smoky BBQ service that feeds a real crowd: guest count, service speed, setup style, and budget matter just as much as the menu.
- 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.
