Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios—Ready When the Director Calls “Cut!”
From sunrise call times at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios to late-night shoots along the River North skyline, Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling Windy City crews with mouth-watering meals that are always on schedule. Our Chicago studio catering team partners with you to build rotating daily menus, scout the best service locations on crowded sets, streamline ordering and pickup, and verify that every vendor carries full City of Chicago permits and insurance.
Need Latin flair? We’ll roll in La Cocinita Chicago. Craving smoky barbecue after a tough scene on the South Side? Soul & Smoke has you covered. For gourmet sandwiches worthy of a lunch-break hero shot, invite The Fat Shallot. Add handheld happiness from 5411 Empanadas, or bring a taste of Sicily with La Comodita. Whatever your cast and crew are hungry for, we’ll place the right truck in the right spot—whether that’s a converted warehouse in Pilsen or a lakeshore soundstage at Navy Pier.
Our online ordering portal slashes wait times, our sustainability practices cut down on food and packaging waste, and our transparent cost analysis keeps your production on budget. When you let Best Food Trucks handle your Chicago studio food truck catering, meal breaks become one seamless take—leaving you free to focus on getting the perfect shot.
Chicago-Grown Flavor, Chicago-Owned Businesses
Booking a food truck for your studio set does more than keep the crew fed—it keeps Chicago’s independent culinary scene thriving. Every truck we dispatch, from a family-run taquería in Little Village to a husband-and-wife pierogi rig out of Avondale, is a small business with deep neighborhood roots. Your order puts real dollars back into the 312, strengthening the local economy one smashburger or vegan jibarito at a time.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly upgrade over traditional craft services. Because the kitchen is self-contained, trucks sip far less energy than a diesel generator powering chafing dishes, and their made-to-order menus slash food waste. We even encourage compostable serveware to keep Chicago’s alleys and lakefront looking camera-ready.
So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” between takes at Cinespace or The Fields Studios, give Best Food Trucks a shout. You’ll get crowd-pleasing meals, a lighter carbon footprint, and the satisfaction of championing Chicago’s small businesses—now that’s a wrap.

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!

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!
