Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Chicago

From summer concerts at Millennium Park to Saturday tailgates outside Soldier Field, Chicagoans know an event isn’t complete without unforgettable food. Gone are the days of bulky tents and makeshift kitchens crowding Grant Park; today’s food trucks arrive with fully self-contained, commercial-grade kitchens that set up and serve in minutes. That means no extra permits, no long build-outs, and no waiting around for teardown—just hot, fresh meals served fast to even the largest Windy City crowds.

Best Food Trucks is Chicago’s one-stop solution for food truck catering for large scale events. Whether you’re feeding tens of thousands at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Expo or a few thousand corporate guests at McCormick Place, we’ll assemble a fleet that satisfies every palate. Think Latin flair from La Cocinita Chicago, slow-smoked barbecue courtesy of Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwiches from The Fat Shallot, golden Argentinian turnovers from 5411 Empanadas, and authentic Sicilian street fare from La Comodita. With menus this diverse, everyone—from Loop office workers to North Side foodies—finds a plate they love.

Booking through Best Food Trucks means one contract, one point of contact, and endless culinary possibilities. Our real-time ordering system lets guests track their meals right from their phones—perfect for keeping crowds moving at Lollapalooza, the Taste of Chicago, or a packed Wrigleyville block party. Elevate your next Chicago gathering with the city’s best food truck catering for large scale events, expertly coordinated by Best Food Trucks.

Skip the Line and Enjoy Your Chicago Large-Scale Event

Whether you’re cheering on the Bulls at the United Center Fan Fest or hosting a 10K along the Lakefront Trail, nobody comes to stand in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ Chicago-ready online ordering platform lets guests browse menus, pay, and pick a time slot right from their phones—no more shivering in a January wind off Lake Michigan or melting under a July sun in Grant Park.

Here’s how it works: send out a pre-order link with your ticket confirmation, or post QR codes around Navy Pier, Goose Island, or wherever your crowd gathers. Attendees choose their favorite truck—maybe a Chi-Town dog piled high with neon relish or a jibarito straight from Humboldt Park—then get a text when their meal is plated. Our system is built to handle the high-volume surges that come with marathons, street festivals, and convention crowds at McCormick Place.

Pairing food truck catering for large scale events in Chicago with our real-time ordering is the quickest way to keep guests focused on the music, the keynote, or the kickoff while still delivering the exceptional eats the Windy City is famous for. Less time waiting, more time celebrating—exactly what every Chicago event deserves.

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!

Food was good, chicken sandwiches were large, but underseasoned. Buffalo wasn't spicy at all and blackened just needed some more. My daughter did say it's the best burger she ever had and that's all she wants to eat

I probably would not have gotten the mac and cheese bites if i knew there would be thyme in them. That's on me though, and now I know for next time. Really well-seasoned burger and I liked the normal mac that was on it!

Bang bang chicken is amazing and so are the deep fried Oreos! Funnelvision is by far my favorite food truck!
