Food Truck Catering
Catering in Emeryville, CA
Emeryville moves fast — biotech campuses shoulder up against vintage warehouse studios, the Bay Trail hums with cyclists at dawn, and by lunch the whole city seems to be eating outside. That restless, built-from-scratch energy is exactly where low-and-slow smoked BBQ finds its best audience: people who work hard, eat seriously, and know the difference between real bark and a bottle of liquid smoke. Colorado Pig Rig brings the brisket, the ribs, the smoke-ringed pulled pork — all of it patient-crafted and genuinely, gloriously unapologetic.

What We Cater in Emeryville, CA
Emeryville doesn't have time for food that makes you wait and then disappoints — the workers, students, and residents who make up this city expect both speed and substance. Smoked BBQ, prepped low-and-slow overnight and served efficiently off the truck, answers both demands at once. With open recreation areas and walkable commercial zones spread across a compact footprint, Emeryville gives Colorado Pig Rig plenty of room to set up and serve the way BBQ is meant to be served.

Venues & Event Locations
At Union Plaza Park, right in the beating commercial heart of Emeryville, Colorado Pig Rig catches the midday crowd at peak hunger — office workers, retail staff, and the perpetual flow of people who just finished something and need a real meal fast. Poplar Recreation Area brings a different vibe: outdoor-activity regulars who've actually earned their ribs and want them served with zero fuss and maximum flavor. And on the creative side of campus life, Ex'pression College for Digital Arts offers the kind of tight-knit community where one great BBQ experience spreads fast and turns into a standing reservation.
California 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 City of Emeryville.
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.
