Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools
From the North Side to the South Shore, Chicago schools are always buzzing with activity. Whether it’s a CPS football game at Lane Tech Stadium, a science fair in Hyde Park, or a lunch rush on DePaul’s quad, nothing fuels busy students and teachers like a lineup of Chicago’s favorite food trucks. Best Food Trucks makes it simple to turn any Windy City campus into a miniature Taste of Chicago—minus the long walks down Columbus Drive.
Our proprietary online ordering system slashes cafeteria–style wait times, letting students place orders on their phones and grab their meals between classes. Administrators love us because we handle the scheduling, permits, and dietary accommodations, while faculty appreciates the crowd control. In short, we take care of the logistics so your staff can keep their focus on education.
Looking for variety? Best Food Trucks partners with a deep bench of beloved local vendors, including:
- La Cocinita Chicago – Venezuelan-inspired Latin street food that brings a pop of color—and arepas—to any Chicago campus.
- Soul & Smoke – Slow-smoked barbecue and comfort sides from Chef D’Andre Carter, perfect after a chilly Lake Michigan breeze rolls in.
- The Fat Shallot – Gourmet sandwiches that have earned cult status at spots like Merchandise Mart and now your school quad.
- 5411 Empanadas – Always-baked Argentinian empanadas, a grab-and-go favorite for students sprinting to their next class.
- La Comodita – Authentic Sicilian street eats that bring a taste of Little Italy to any Chicago lunch period.
Whether you need daily lunch service, a morale-boosting teacher appreciation day, or a food-truck-powered pep rally, our team will curate the perfect mix of Chicago food trucks for your school. Book with Best Food Trucks today and give your students a dining experience as unforgettable as a summer night at Navy Pier.
Matt,
Your team crushed it this semester. Best Food Trucks kept kids and faculty happy at Lane Tech, Whitney Young, and Lindblom—even when that April snow showed up out of nowhere.
Thanks for tackling the permits, menus, and lunchtime rush so smoothly. Can’t wait to roll the trucks back onto our campuses next year!
