Food Truck Catering
Catering in Franklin, KY
Just above the Tennessee line, Franklin sits in that particular pocket of Kentucky where the air is thick with humidity by June and the expectations around smoked meat are, politely speaking, non-negotiable. Simpson County's county seat is a town that respects patience — in its history, in its courthouse, and in the way it thinks about food. BBQ cooked the right way, over real smoke for real hours, fits Franklin like it was always meant to.

What We Cater in Franklin, KY
Franklin's rhythms are practical and unglamorous in the best sense — the hospital runs around the clock, I-65 keeps delivering travelers who need a real meal, and local events fill the weekends with people who know exactly what good BBQ is supposed to taste like. Colorado Pig Rig fits into that texture because the food answers a real need rather than performing one.

Venues & Event Locations
When Colorado Pig Rig rolls near Octagon Hall — a site that has been accumulating history since before the Civil War — the crowd it finds is one that already values things made carefully over time. The Medical Center at Franklin represents a different kind of steady demand: essential workers who have spent their energy on other people and deserve a plate of brisket that spent its energy on them. And along the corridor where the Days Inn and Comfort Inn & Suites catch travelers between Nashville and Louisville, a properly smoked rib is often the most memorable thing about the stop.
Kentucky has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Kentucky jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Franklin.
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.

Jess
Food Truck Booking Agent
Compassionate follow-up and organized menu support backed by commissary operations experience.
Ask Jess how much BBQ to order and she'll tell you it's never just about headcount — demographic mix, vendor meals, and service style all decide how much smoky, hearty BBQ a crowd actually eats. She's tested that instinct on real numbers, supporting a 5,000-guest Southwest Airlines event and a 5-day run prepping 10 trucks across 50 events for about 7,500 guests, sending every truck out with correct menus and inventory for BBQ that feels like a real event meal. Jess also digs into insurance, safety compliance, references, and fire-risk gaps ahead of time, part of how she helps plan the right BBQ service format built for big appetites.
- Commissary inventory and kitchen ops for 10+ trucks
- Strong on follow-up, menu support, and client clarity
Jess will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
