Food Truck Catering
Catering in Ferndale, MI
Most great things in Ferndale require a little patience — finding parking on Nine Mile, waiting for a table at the right spot, letting a conversation run past its scheduled end. Colorado Pig Rig operates on the same principle, cooking brisket and ribs low and slow until they're the kind of food that stops a conversation mid-sentence. In a city that rewards the unhurried, that's not a liability — it's the whole point.

Venues & Event Locations
Oakland Community College draws a crowd that spans every age and appetite, and Colorado Pig Rig has found a natural home in that mix of students, staff, and the broader community moving through its campus. Across town, Hamtramck Stadium carries a history that makes any event held in its shadow feel worth marking — and smoked brisket has a way of making a moment feel properly commemorated. On quieter afternoons, Green Acres Park fills with the kind of unhurried foot traffic that turns a lunch stop into a neighborhood ritual.
Michigan has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Michigan jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Ferndale.

Thomas
Food Truck Booking Agent
Real-world truck builder and operator perspective for practical, grounded event booking.
Before a smoker ever rolls up to a Colorado Pig Rig event, Thomas has already worked through COIs, permits, health department alignment, fire suppression, and insurance minimums, drawing on real familiarity with Denver Department of Public Health & Environment requirements and Denver Fire Department standards. That instinct for standards paid off firsthand when a generator shut down mid-event; he traced it to a low-oil safety cutoff, topped it off, and had hearty BBQ service for events back on track with barely a hiccup. His rule for hosts planning smoky BBQ for hungry crowds: plan the service flow, not just the menu.
- Built 200+ custom food trucks through fabrication work
- Operator + builder perspective for practical fit
Thomas will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
