Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios—Delivered Right on Set
From the sound stages at Cinespace to indie shoots along the Chicago Riverwalk, Best Food Trucks is the Windy City’s trusted partner for food truck catering for studios in Chicago. Our local team has spent years feeding cast and crew under the toughest Lake Michigan weather, so we know how to keep lunch breaks on schedule and appetites satisfied.
We’ll create rotating daily menus packed with Chicago’s favorite mobile kitchens—think Venezuelan arepas from La Cocinita Chicago, smoky brisket sandwiches courtesy of Soul & Smoke, and gourmet bites from neighborhood legends like The Fat Shallot. Craving something different? We can roll in baked-to-order empanadas from 5411 Empanadas or Sicilian arancini via La Comodita—all without your crew ever leaving the lot.
Our Chicago studio catering experts handle everything: mapping the best curb space for truck service, streamlining online ordering and pickup, verifying every vendor’s city permits and insurance, and delivering a clear cost analysis that fits your production budget. Food truck catering reduces packaging waste too—another win for a greener Chicago set.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime so you can focus on that next perfect shot. When the director calls “cut,” we’ll make sure a hot, customized plate is waiting.
Fueling Chicago’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Choosing food truck catering for studios in Chicago does more than keep your cast and crew happy—it pumps real dollars back into the neighborhoods that make our city famous. Most Chicago trucks are run by South Side pit-masters, West Loop bakers, or Rogers Park family collectives whose recipes have been perfected over generations. Every booking helps them pay staff, keep the griddles hot, and stay parked right here instead of hitting the suburbs.
Food trucks also give eco-friendly production teams a leg up. Unlike diesel-hungry kitchen trailers, these rigs are built for efficiency, draw less power from your set, and—thanks to compostable serviceware—leave behind far less trash than boxed lunches. Our vendors are fully vetted by the City of Chicago’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, so you get compliant, green service without the paperwork headache.
Need low-budget studio catering in Chicago that’s socially responsible and still downright delicious? Tap Best Food Trucks and let Chicago’s mobile chefs roll up, serve up, and level up your next shoot.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them 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!
