Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Chicago Studio Crew
Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding cast and crew on sets from Cinespace Chicago Film Studios in Pilsen to soundstages along the North Branch. We know that when the assistant director calls, “Lunch is up in 30,” your food truck catering in Chicago has to be quick, organized, and delicious. Our local team will work with you to build rotating daily menus, map the most convenient service spots—whether that’s outside NBC Tower, in the West Loop, or curbside on South Laramie—and streamline online ordering and pickup so your gaffers aren’t stuck standing in line.
Every vendor we send to your studio lot carries current City of Chicago health permits and full insurance, and we’ll give you a clear cost breakdown that keeps the line producer happy. Plus, food truck catering generates far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet service, helping your production stay green.
Looking for crowd-pleasing options? Treat the crew to smoky brisket from Soul & Smoke, Venezuelan arepas from the bright-red La Cocinita Chicago truck, gourmet sandwiches from The Fat Shallot, fresh-baked empanadas from 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian arancini courtesy of La Comodita. We’ll rotate trucks daily so even the pickiest grips and PAs stay excited about meal break.
From dawn call times on Goose Island to late-night shoots in the Loop, let Best Food Trucks handle every detail of your studio food truck catering in Chicago—so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Supporting Chicago’s Small & Mighty Food Truck Community
Booking studio food truck catering in Chicago does more than fill stomachs between takes—it keeps the city’s independent culinary scene rolling. Nearly every truck we partner with is a mom-and-pop or family-run outfit, from a Hyde Park couple slinging jerk chicken to a Logan Square baker who quit her day job to fry up churros. When you invite them onto your set at Cinespace, Resolution Studios, or a riverfront soundstage, you’re pouring revenue straight back into Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen, Little Village, and Rogers Park.
Choosing food trucks for film catering is also the eco-smart move. Because these mobile kitchens prep to order right outside your stage door, they burn less energy than off-site commissaries and leave you with fewer half-empty hotel pans headed for the dumpster. All trucks arrive with current City of Chicago Mobile Food Dispenser licenses, ServSafe certifications, and fully compostable service ware to keep your production green and compliant.
So the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops up in your search bar, remember that Best Food Trucks can deliver fresh, fast, socially responsible meals that keep both your crew and Chicago’s small businesses thriving.

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!!
