Fueling Chicago Creativity — and Chicago Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot isn’t just the tastiest call sheet addition—it’s a direct investment in the Windy City’s vibrant small-business community. Every truck that pulls up to your Fulton Market soundstage or South Loop backlot is owned by a Chicago family or solo entrepreneur who sources ingredients from local purveyors at spots like Green City Market and the Chicago French Market. Your catering dollars stay right here in Cook County, circulating through our neighborhoods from Rogers Park to Bridgeport.
Food trucks also fit perfectly with Chicago’s sustainability goals. Because the kitchens are compact, they draw far less power than a conventional craft-services tent, and the streamlined menus slash excess packaging—meaning fewer trash runs and a greener set on the next Lake Michigan breeze.
So the next time your 4 a.m. call has you Googling “film set food truck catering in Chicago,” give Best Food Trucks a shout. You’ll keep your cast and crew happy, boost the local economy, and roll camera on an eco-friendly production—all in one delicious take.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

We received a lot of compliments from our guests on the delicious tacos. The portions were very generous. Coordinating ahead of time was easy. The delivery was on-time and everything was well-organized. I recommend using the Tacomotora condiments directly. We offered our own as well and it was too much. I would use this Tacomotora again.

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!
