Hot, Customizable Meals for Madison Studios—Ready When the Director Calls “Cut!”
Whether you’re shooting a documentary on Lake Mendota, filming a scene in the shadow of the Capitol, or producing a late-night commercial on State Street, your cast and crew still need to eat. Best Food Trucks specializes in studio food truck catering in Madison, delivering quick, delicious meals that keep productions moving and talent happy.
We draw on years of experience feeding film crews to create rotating daily menus that satisfy everyone from the vegan grip to the cheese-curd-craving gaffer. Our Madison team will:
- Work one-on-one with your production office to design custom menus and allergy-friendly options.
- Scout the best service spots—whether it’s a parking lot on East Washington or a lakeside set on Monona Drive.
- Streamline online ordering and rapid pickup, so lunch breaks never run long.
- Vet every vendor for Madison permits, insurance, and health certificates.
- Provide transparent cost summaries that fit indie budgets and blockbuster shoots alike.
- Reduce food and packaging waste, keeping our isthmus green.
Need inspiration? Imagine starting the morning with Liège waffles and locally roasted coffee from All Belgium Waffles – WI, grabbing gooey curds at golden hour from Say Cheese Curd Company, refueling at lunch with American-comfort classics from Toast, cooling off in the afternoon with sweet treats from Jakarta Cafe, and wrapping the day with bold Thai flavors courtesy of Thailand in a Truck. That’s the kind of flavorful lineup your Madison studio crew will remember long after the final cut.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the catering details so you can focus on the next take. From the Yahara River to University Ave, we’ve got Madison studio food truck catering covered—one less thing for you to worry about.
Fueling Madison’s Film Sets and Its Small Businesses
Choosing Madison studio food truck catering does more than keep your crew happy—it pours money back into the very community you’re filming in. Most of the trucks we dispatch are run by solo chefs, UW-Madison grads chasing a culinary dream, or family businesses that have served farmers’ market crowds on Capitol Square for years. Every burrito, bibimbap bowl, or brat you order helps a local entrepreneur pay staff wages, buy produce from Dane County growers, and keep their truck rolling up and down East Johnson Street.
Food trucks are also a low-impact, eco-smart alternative to traditional craft-service buffets. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, our vendors pull less electricity than a tent full of chafing dishes and send far less waste to the Dane County landfill. Many of our Madison partners compost food scraps through Sustain Dane and serve on reusable cheese-curd boats or biodegradable plates made right here in Wisconsin.
So the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops up in your production checklist, tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll lock in crowd-pleasing meals, shrink your carbon footprint along the Yahara, and give a high-five to the local economy—all before the assistant director calls, “Quiet on set!”

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.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.

The turkey burger was good. I don't eat onions and have allergies to that so I scraped them off. There wasn't a space to request ti have them removed. Perhaps, an "instructions" space can be added for that particular burger as well. Many have allergies to foods. Thank you!🙂

Truck was great, would like a lid for the pudding to carry a little easier. And would like more trucks with healthier options
