Fueling Albany’s Film Sets—and the 518 Economy
Booking studio food truck catering in Albany isn’t just the fastest way to feed a hungry crew—it’s also the easiest way to pour your production dollars back into the Capital Region. Every truck we roll onto set is owned by a 518-proud family or solo entrepreneur who shops at the Troy Farmers Market, hires local staff, and keeps their commissary dollars right here in Albany County.
Compared with traditional buffet service, a food truck kitchen sips electricity, trims food waste, and cuts down on disposable pans—good news for both your sustainability report and the Hudson River. Our vendors run energy-efficient equipment and recycle fryer oil through Albany’s green-waste program, so your shoot can hit its carbon-reduction targets without breaking a sweat.
In short, every taco, burger, or vegan grain bowl served on your set is a vote for small business, green practices, and the creative spirit that makes productions in Upstate New York possible. The next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me” from a folding chair on Wolf Road, give Best Food Trucks a call and get a meal plan that supports Main Street as much as your bottom line.

I was told that the $6 garlic fries I paid extra for were on the one box. I find it hard to believe that was extra fries. Seems like it would be an extra box(extra side)

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.
