Food Truck Catering
Catering in Highland, IN
A proper BBQ truck doesn't rush, and neither does Highland. Sitting just outside the churn of the Chicago metro, this mid-size Indiana town holds onto its own pace — the kind that pairs perfectly with fall-off-the-bone ribs and pulled pork that spent the whole morning in the smoker. Colorado Pig Rig shows up to Highland events with bark-crusted brisket and backyard-cookout warmth that feel completely at home here.

What We Cater in Highland, IN
Highland sits in the thick of the Chicago metro but keeps its own Midwestern tempo — block parties that run past dark, park gatherings that turn into real conversations, campus events where people actually linger. That's the sweet spot for a BBQ truck: anywhere a crowd has a reason to stay put and eat well. Cold continental winters make every warm-weather cookout feel like a small victory worth celebrating with a proper smoke ring.

Venues & Event Locations
Pettit Park has the kind of open, easy energy that turns a casual afternoon into a full-on neighborhood celebration, and a stack of smoked ribs fits that scene without any convincing. Ivy Tech Community College Lake County Campus draws a crowd that knows how to appreciate something made with patience — the kind of people who recognize real bark when they see it. When the evening calls for something a little more tucked-away and green, Carlson Oxbow Park offers that quiet pocket where the smell of smoked brisket carries farther than it has any right to.
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 Highland.
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.
