Venues & Event Locations
The Carpinteria Valley Historical Museum draws community-minded crowds during its public programming — the kind of audience that lingers, and that rewards good street food with repeat visits. Viola Fields sees high-traffic athletic events where a solid burger at the end of a hard game needs no sales pitch. Canalino School Park's steady family attendance throughout the year makes it one of the most reliable gathering anchors in the city.
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 Carpinteria.
The Burger Bus and our local catering partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Zo
Senior Booking Agent
Calm, food-first guidance from a truck owner with deep culinary and event experience.
Before he ever helped book a burger truck, Zo spent 16 years working the line himself—running trucks, smokers, and kitchens, and overseeing thousands of events, including a single day juggling eight large holiday catering jobs with a skeleton crew. That kind of pressure-tested background is why he zeroes in on prime meats, fresh prep, and a burger truck setup that keeps the line moving, all while staying sharp on fire expectations in Douglas County and Castle Rock. ServSafe certified with a culinary degree, Zo treats every booking as his chance to prove real event food doesn't have to overcomplicate the day.
- 20+ years in food and beverage and 8 years in trucks
- Founder experience plus 50-truck booking perspective
Zo will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
