Food Truck Catering
Catering in Kalamazoo, MI
Smoke rises early in Kalamazoo — long before the crowds arrive, long before the first plate is served — because real BBQ doesn't happen on a deadline. Colorado Pig Rig brings that low-and-slow tradition right into the city's rhythm: brisket rested to the point of giving, ribs with a bark that cracks just right, pulled pork piled high with the kind of warmth that makes a crowd feel like a backyard. Kalamazoo has always known how to gather, and Colorado Pig Rig knows how to feed that gathering well.

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.
