Food Truck Catering
Catering in Chesterton, IN
Out near the Indiana Dunes, the wind comes in off the lake carrying that particular lakeside cool, and it turns out there's nothing better to chase it with than a plate of slow-smoked brisket. Chesterton is a town that earns its appetite — on the trails, at the parks, at the fields where people actually show up for each other. Colorado Pig Rig meets that crowd where they are, with ribs, pulled pork, and bark-covered brisket built on the same patient, unhurried craft the place deserves.

Chesterton's warm-season energy calls for food with the same commitment to the craft that the town puts into its outdoor life. Colorado Pig Rig is built for exactly that kind of crowd.

Venues & Event Locations
Indiana Dunes State Park draws the kind of crowd that arrives hungry and leaves ravenous, and the open grounds around the park entrance give Colorado Pig Rig the space to set up and serve the volume that comes with it. Over at Beverly Shores Depot Museum and Art Gallery, outdoor events carry a certain gathered-community feel — neighbors catching up, visitors lingering — and slow-smoked plates fit that rhythm like a picnic table fits a sunny afternoon. When civic or neighborhood events come together at a spot like Pine Township Property, Colorado Pig Rig has the setup and the scale to make sure nobody walks away without a smoke ring worth talking about.
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 Town of Chesterton.
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.
