Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Chicago Studio Crew
When the cameras are rolling at Cinespace Chicago, Resolution Studios, or a South Loop soundstage, the last thing you need is a catering headache. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding film and TV crews all over Chicagoland, so we know how to keep your team happy—even the pickiest eaters on set. We’ll build rotating daily menus, scout the perfect curbside spot for service (from Pilsen’s historic streets to the West Loop’s warehouse alleys), streamline online ordering and quick pickup, verify every vendor’s permits and insurance, and deliver a clear cost analysis that fits your production budget.
Food truck catering for studios in Chicago isn’t just convenient—it’s greener, too. Individual meals mean less food and packaging waste, which keeps our city (and Lake Michigan) a little cleaner. Plus, Chicago’s food truck scene is second to none. Treat your cast and crew to Latin favorites from La Cocinita Chicago, smoky barbecue from Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwiches courtesy of The Fat Shallot, crave-worthy Argentinian bites from 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian street eats from La Comodita. With Best Food Trucks coordinating, your meal breaks will run smoother than a Lake Shore Drive commute at sunrise.
Let us handle the catering logistics so you can focus on getting the perfect shot. From early-morning call times in the Loop to late-night shoots in Wicker Park, Best Food Trucks makes Chicago studio catering effortless and delicious.
Fueling Chicago Dreams, One Small Business at a Time
Choosing food truck catering for your Chicago studio set does more than satisfy hungry cast and crew—it keeps the city’s entrepreneurial heartbeat strong. Practically every truck that pulls up to your soundstage is a family-owned business or a solo chef who perfected recipes in a South Side kitchen before hitting the road. Booking them means your production dollars stay right here in the Windy City, from Albany Park produce markets to Bridgeport commissary kitchens.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to chafing-dish buffets. Compact kitchens on wheels sip far less energy than a brick-and-mortar caterer, and individually plated meals slash food waste—good news for both your budget and Lake Michigan. Our roster features City of Chicago-licensed vendors who recycle cooking oil, use compostable serviceware, and idle off while serving to cut emissions on set.
Ready to roll camera and tacos at the same time? The next time you're Googling “low-budget film catering near me” or “Chicago studio food truck,” let Best Food Trucks match you with the perfect local operator. You’ll get memorable meals, green credentials, and a direct investment in the small businesses that make this city taste so good.

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!

Joann and her team with Senor Blues was a pleasure to work with for our company Xmas party. They showed up early and were ready to go when our party started and the food was delicious.
