Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Chicago Studio Set
When the cameras are rolling at Cinespace, in the West Loop, or on location along the Chicago River, your cast and crew need great food—fast. Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for studios in Chicago, delivering piping-hot, chef-driven meals right on schedule. From call time breakfasts to late-night wraps, we design rotating daily menus, coordinate the perfect parking spots, streamline online ordering and pickup, verify every truck’s permits and insurance, and give you a clear cost analysis that keeps your production on budget.
Chicago’s vibrant food truck community lets us satisfy every palate on set. Craving bold Latin flavors? La Cocinita Chicago rolls up with Venezuelan-inspired arepas and tacos. Need smoky comfort food between takes? Soul & Smoke plates up award-winning brisket and mac ’n’ cheese. Looking for handheld gourmet sandwiches for a quick turnaround? The Fat Shallot has you covered. For a taste of Buenos Aires, 5411 Empanadas serves baked Argentinian pockets that travel well across the lot, and if your crew is shouting “mangia,” La Comodita brings Sicilian street-food favorites right to the trailer row.
By choosing food truck catering for your Chicago studio, you’ll cut down on food and packaging waste, reduce trips off-site, and keep your production running smoothly—rain, shine, or lake-effect snow. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Backing Chicago’s Small-Business Scene, One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Chicago studio does more than keep your crew fed—it pours money back into the city’s neighborhoods. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run or solo venture based in communities like Pilsen, Logan Square, Bronzeville, and Rogers Park. When you roll up La Cocinita for breakfast arepas or Soul & Smoke for a midnight brisket plate, you’re directly supporting Chicago entrepreneurs, not a national conglomerate.
Chicago food trucks are also a smarter, greener alternative to traditional craft-service buffets. Because the kitchen is on the truck, energy use is lower, serviceware is often compostable, and there’s far less leftover waste to haul off the lot at Cinespace or the Kinzie Street studios. That’s good for Lake Michigan and your sustainability report.
So the next time your production coordinator Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that food truck catering for studios in Chicago delivers hot meals, local flavor, and real economic impact—all in one parking spot. Hit us up and make lunch call a win-win for your set and the city.

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!

Pizza is always tasty and fresh. And the two gentlemen working the oven today are great! Friendly and enthusiastic, even on a chilly and windy day.
