Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios—Served on Your Schedule!
From Cinespace to the sound stages in the West Loop, Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling Chicago’s film crews with quick, crowd-pleasing eats. Our local expertise means your meal breaks run like a well-rehearsed take: we’ll build rotating daily menus, scout the best curbside parking on busy streets like Ogden or Racine, streamline online ordering and pickup, and verify that every vendor carries the proper City of Chicago permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis that keeps production accountants happy while keeping cast and crew well fed.
Food truck catering is a greener choice for Chicago studios, cutting down on buffet over-production and single-use packaging. Plus, you get to showcase the city’s favorite mobile kitchens right on set: savor Venezuelan-inspired arepas from La Cocinita Chicago, smoky brisket from Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwiches from The Fat Shallot, baked-not-fried empanadas from 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian street classics from La Comodita.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the catering so your production can focus on the next scene, not what’s for lunch. When it comes to studio food truck catering in Chicago, we’re the one-stop service that keeps every bellied growl off the soundtrack.
Showcasing Chicago’s Independent Culinary Talent
Choosing food truck catering for your Chicago studio set is more than an easy meal break—it’s a direct investment in the city’s small-business heartbeat. Each truck that pulls up outside Cinespace, DePaul’s Screen Institute, or a West Loop warehouse is run by a solo chef-owner or family crew, not a national chain. Your catering budget stays hyper-local, circulating through neighborhood commissaries, South Water Market produce vendors, and Windy City payrolls.
Mobile kitchens also match the eco-standards many productions now require. Compared with traditional craft-service buffets, food trucks operate on tighter footprints, cook to order, and generate far less waste—so you’ll see fewer half-empty hotel pans in the dumpster and more time on set capturing golden hour.
When the 1st AD calls “Meal!” and you need affordable studio food truck catering in Chicago, skip the generic sandwich platters and search “low-budget film catering near me.” Best Food Trucks will dispatch the perfect wheels—whether that’s a South Side smoker, a Logan Square taco cart, or a River North vegan specialist—keeping your production sustainable, flavorful, and unmistakably Chicago.

Excellent tacos, rice and beans, and street corn! My guests raved about the food! I would have La Patrona back in a heartbeat! Watch out for the salsa - they are both spicy!

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.
