Fresh, Customizable Studio Meals in Traverse City
Whether your shoot is set along the shore of West Grand Traverse Bay or tucked away near the Old Mission Peninsula vineyards, Best Food Trucks brings the most convenient and delicious food truck catering for studios in Traverse City. After years of feeding film crews from Hollywood to the Cherry Capital of the World, we know how to keep cast and crew fueled and on-schedule—even when Lake Michigan weather decides to change the plan.
Our team will work side-by-side with your production manager to build rotating daily menus that hit every dietary mark, secure the perfect service spot (from the warehouse district to a pop-up set near Clinch Park), streamline online ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for permits, insurance, and health certifications. You’ll also get a clear cost breakdown that keeps your craft-services budget in check, along with the eco-benefit of dramatically less food and packaging waste.
Hungry for local flavor? Treat the crew to pillowy pierogi and hearty Polish sandwiches from Lost Village Pierogi: “The Polished Cuban Grill”, or spice things up with scratch-made street tacos from King Wubbz. These Traverse City favorites roll right up to set, so your team can grab a hot meal and be back on camera before the next take.
From sunrise shoots on Front Street to late-night wrap parties overlooking Sleeping Bear Dunes, let Best Food Trucks handle every bite and beverage. We take the guesswork out of studio catering in Traverse City—giving you one less thing to worry about while you make movie magic.
Fueling Your Shoot—And Traverse City’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your studio production in Traverse City does more than keep the crew happy—it keeps our hometown economy humming. Nearly every truck that rolls up to your set is a family-run operation based right here in Northern Michigan, from the siblings slinging cherry-smoked brisket to the couple perfecting their M-22 whitefish tacos. Every meal you purchase puts dollars back into Traverse City’s small-business community instead of a far-away corporate kitchen.
Food trucks also fit the eco-conscious mindset that our city prides itself on during events like the National Cherry Festival and Friday Night Live. Because these mobile kitchens run on compact equipment and prep to exact headcounts, they use less energy and generate less food waste than traditional buffet spreads—an easy win when you’re shooting along the pristine shoreline of West Bay or under the century-old pines near the Boardman River.
So the next time you Google “studio food truck catering in Traverse City” or “low-budget film crew meals near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks can connect you with the region’s most responsible, flavor-forward vendors. You’ll feed the cast and crew, bolster local entrepreneurs, and keep our waters and trails just as beautiful as the scenes you’re capturing.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Hands down the best food I have had from a food truck. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the portions were large!
