Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios & Film Crews
Searching for food truck catering for your Chicago studio? From the sprawling soundstages at Cinespace to commercials shooting along Lake Michigan, Best Food Trucks keeps every production running on time and well fed. Our Windy City team knows the ins and outs of film crew catering in Chicago, making sure meal breaks are seamless—even when the “L” rumbles by in the middle of a take.
We’ll work hand-in-hand with your production office to craft rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best parking spots for quick service, streamline online ordering and walk-up pickup, verify every vendor’s City of Chicago permits and insurance, and deliver a transparent cost analysis that stays on budget. Serving from trucks also slashes disposable pan and packaging waste, keeping your set greener than the fields at Grant Park.
Need variety? We’ve got Chi-Town favorites ready to roll up to your lot: the Venezuelan-inspired La Cocinita Chicago, smoky barbecue from Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwiches by The Fat Shallot, Argentinian handhelds from 5411 Empanadas, and authentic Sicilian street fare courtesy of La Comodita. Whatever your cast and crew crave, there’s a truck in our fleet that can satisfy it.
Let Best Food Trucks remove the stress from studio food service. With reliable, Chicago food truck catering for film crews, you can keep cameras rolling—and stomachs happy—no matter how long the shoot day runs.
Fueling Chicago’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Chicago studio does more than keep cast and crew satisfied—it pumps real dollars back into the city’s neighborhoods. Nearly every truck we work with is a family-run or solo operation based in areas like Pilsen, Logan Square, Bronzeville, and Rogers Park. By hiring a local food truck, your production directly supports Chicago entrepreneurs instead of a national catering chain, strengthening the city’s creative and culinary scenes at the same time.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative for film crew catering in Chicago. Because they cook to order inside energy-efficient kitchens on wheels, trucks use far less power and single-use packaging than traditional drop-off buffets. That means fewer diesel generators humming on your back lot and less trash heading to the dumpsters behind Cinespace or the Pratt Street Studios.
So the next time your production coordinator Googles “low-budget film catering Chicago,” skip the soggy hotel pans and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll connect you with a socially responsible fleet that keeps your shoot on budget, your crew happy, and Chicago’s small businesses rolling strong.

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!

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.
