Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Chicago Studio Crew
Shooting on Chicago Fire at Cinespace, rolling cameras near Navy Pier, or wrapping a commercial in the West Loop? Best Food Trucks is the local expert in food truck catering for studios in Chicago. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews from Rogers Park to the South Side, so your meal breaks stay on schedule and your talent stays happy.
Our Chicago studio catering team will build rotating daily menus that keep the crew excited—think Venezuelan arepas from La Cocinita Chicago, hickory-smoked brisket from Soul & Smoke, and gourmet sandwiches from The Fat Shallot. Craving something handheld for a tight turnaround? Try flaky pockets from 5411 Empanadas or Sicilian street eats courtesy of La Comodita. Every truck is vetted for City of Chicago permits, insurance, and food-safety certifications.
We’ll map the best curb-side setup, streamline mobile ordering and pickup, and deliver a clear cost analysis that fits your production budget. Food truck catering means fewer chafing dishes, less packaging waste, and a much smaller footprint on set—something the eco-minded Chicago production community can cheer about. Partner with Best Food Trucks and cross “mealtime logistics” off your call sheet.
Fueling Chicago’s Small Businesses — One Set at a Time
Choosing food truck catering for your Chicago studio isn’t just a win for the crew; it’s a direct investment in the city’s independent culinary scene. From the husband-and-wife team smoking ribs in Bronzeville to the Eli’s-Cheesecake-obsessed baker parked in Avondale, most Windy City food trucks are owned and operated by solo entrepreneurs and multigenerational family businesses. Every wrap, taco, and jibarito you buy keeps cash circulating on our own streets instead of vanishing to an out-of-state conglomerate.
Food trucks also check the “green” box coveted by many Chicago productions. Compared with traditional craft-services buffets, trucks sip far less electricity, require fewer disposable pans, and leave behind almost zero food waste—perfect for crews shooting sustainability-focused projects at Cinespace or Resolution Studios.
So the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops up in your location scout’s search history, remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll match you with licensed, insured, and eco-minded vendors, keeping your call sheet tight, your crew happy, and Chicago’s small-business heartbeat 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!
