Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios—Ready When You Are!
From sunrise shoots at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios to late-night wrap parties in the West Loop, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting studio catering in Chicago. We keep your film crew on schedule and well-fed with rotating daily menus that can stand up to even the most persnickety eaters on set. Need smoky brisket at 6 a.m.? We’ll roll in Soul & Smoke. Craving gourmet sandwiches for a midday pick-me-up near NBC Tower? The Fat Shallot has you covered.
Our local team will scout the best curb space for service, streamline online ordering and crew pickup, and vet every vendor for City of Chicago permits and insurance. Whether you want Latin flair from La Cocinita Chicago, oven-baked empanadas from 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian street eats via La Comodita, we deliver a detailed cost summary & analysis that fits your production budget. Plus, food truck catering reduces food and packaging waste—good for your bottom line and for Lake Michigan. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Chicago studio, so you can keep the cameras rolling.
Fueling Chicago’s Creative Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your studio in Chicago isn’t just the tastiest way to keep cast and crew happy—it’s an investment in our city’s small-business scene. Most Chicago food trucks are owned by solo chefs, family operations, and first-generation entrepreneurs from neighborhoods like Pilsen, Bronzeville, and Avondale. Every taco plated or bao bun steamed on your set sends real dollars back into those communities and keeps Chicago’s culinary spirit thriving.
Studio food truck catering in Chicago is also the greener choice. Trucks run lean kitchens that sip energy compared to full-scale commissaries, and our vendors serve with compostable ware mandated by the City of Chicago’s latest sustainability guidelines. Less power, less packaging, less waste headed toward the landfills hugging the South Branch of the river—it all adds up to a smaller footprint for your production.
So the next time you’re Googling “studio food truck catering Chicago” or “low-budget film set meals near me,” skip the soggy boxed lunches. Call Best Food Trucks and discover how delicious—and socially responsible—your craft services table can be.

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!

the burger from Badass Burger Buggy was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Even after bringing it home it was still hot which made it taste even better. Nikki's Sweets are always very good and we like trying a new dessert each time.
