Hot, Customizable Studio Catering in Chicago—Ready When “Lunch!” Is Called
From the backlots of Cinespace Chicago Film Studios to indie shoots along the Chicago River, Best Food Trucks is the Windy City’s go-to partner for studio and film crew catering. Our decades of on-set experience mean your meal breaks run smoother than a Lake Shore Drive express lane at 3 a.m. We’ll craft rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew energized, secure the perfect curbside location for service, and handle every permit, insurance form, and health inspection so you don’t have to.
Need bold flavors that satisfy a Chi-Town appetite? We’ll roll in local favorites like the Venezuelan-inspired La Cocinita Chicago, smoky barbecue legends Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwich pros The Fat Shallot, Argentinian staple 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian street-food specialists La Comodita. With options this diverse, even the pickiest extra or caffeine-fueled director will walk away happy.
Our streamlined online ordering system minimizes lines, while eco-friendly food truck catering slashes both food and packaging waste—perfect for studios aiming for a greener production. We’ll deliver a detailed cost analysis that keeps your budget on script and your producers smiling. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Chicago studio so you can keep the cameras rolling.
Supporting Chicago’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your studio in Chicago does more than keep the crew happy—it keeps the city’s independent culinary scene thriving. Every truck we send to Cinespace, a West Loop warehouse, or an Old Town sound stage is a family-run or solo-owned small business that sources ingredients from neighborhood markets and reinvests earnings right back into the Windy City economy. When you choose Chicago food truck catering, you’re putting cash in the pockets of local entrepreneurs from Rogers Park to Bronzeville.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly upgrade from traditional craft-service spreads. Because the kitchen rolls right up to set, energy use drops, food stays hotter, and single-use chafing dishes disappear faster than the Cubs’ 108-year drought did in 2016. Pair that mobility with our paper-free ordering app and you’ll slash packaging waste while keeping the sustainability supervisor (and Lake Michigan) a little cleaner.
So when the call sheet screams “Lunch, 12:30,” forget the soggy buffet pans. Fire up your browser, type “low-budget film catering near me,” and let Best Food Trucks deliver studio catering that feeds your cast, fuels Chicago’s small businesses, and makes your green-production goals a reality. Lights, camera, lunch!

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!

excellent food!!! I did like being able to order online and then just go pick it up. The food had a great presentation to it. I didn't want corn so they left it out. I posted pictures of it on Facebook and everybody said it looks really good. It was super delicious!!

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.
