Hot, Customizable Meals for Traverse City Studios
Whether your cameras are rolling at 1890 Studios off Front Street, a soundstage near the Cherry Capital Airport, or on location along Old Mission Peninsula, Best Food Trucks is the local expert in food truck catering for studios in Traverse City. Our team has spent years feeding crews during the Traverse City Film Festival and countless UpNorth Media shoots, so we understand the tight schedules and big appetites that come with production days on the 45th parallel.
We’ll collaborate with your production office to build rotating daily menus that keep talent and crew energized—think hearty Polish comfort food from Lost Village Pierogi: "The Polished Cuban Grill" on Monday, and fresh-off-the-griddle street tacos from King Wubbz on Tuesday. Our logistics team scouts the best parking spots near your set, handles permits with the City of Traverse City, and streamlines online ordering so everyone can grab their meal and get back to work before the sun drops behind Grand Traverse Bay.
From detailed cost analyses that protect your budget to eco-friendly service that reduces food and packaging waste, Best Food Trucks removes the guesswork from studio catering in Traverse City. Book your food truck lineup today and give your crew one less thing to worry about—so they can focus on capturing those beautiful northern Michigan shots.
Fueling Your Shoot—and the Traverse City Economy
Booking a food truck for your studio set isn’t just convenient; it’s a direct investment in Traverse City’s vibrant small-business community. Most of our partner trucks are run by local families you’ll see at the Sara Hardy Farmers Market on Saturdays or cheering at Pit Spitters games on summer nights. Every taco, pierogi, and smash burger you purchase keeps dollars circulating along Front Street instead of heading downstate.
Food trucks also tread lightly on our beloved bays and peninsulas. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, trucks draw far less power than a traditional buffet line, and their compostable serviceware means fewer trash bags headed to the Keystone Road landfill. Many vendors even source ingredients from Leelanau County growers—so those cherry-chipotle ribs really do taste like northern Michigan.
The next time your production coordinator types “Traverse City studio food truck catering” or “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks connects you with operators who nourish crews and the community. Pick a socially responsible, flavor-packed solution for your next call sheet and keep your set—and Traverse City—thriving.

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.

Second time trying BFT and i like how quick they get orders ready. This is our first time trying the truffalo pizza and it's one of my favorites now.

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.

Food is delicious. However my order was messed up tonight :(. Asked for extra chicken but they dumped shrimp all over the rice instead. Couldn’t eat it

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

Less crema on the fish taco. But otherwise all of it was delicious and the jerk chicken taco was my favorite. Great flavor and perfect heat for jerk.
