Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Chicago
From the lakefront festivals in Grant Park to marathon finish lines in Lincoln Park and packed gamedays outside Soldier Field, Chicago knows how to throw a party—and Chicagoans expect seriously good eats. Modern food truck catering is the Windy City’s answer to the long lines and permitting headaches that came with old-school tent vendors. Because each truck is a fully self-contained commercial kitchen, you get faster set-ups, cleaner break-downs, and a deeper menu roster that can handle crowds as big as Lollapalooza.
Best Food Trucks coordinates fleets of locally loved trucks so your large-scale event guests can choose exactly what they’re craving. Want bold Latin flavor? Book La Cocinita Chicago for arepas and plantain bowls that heat up even a chilly day on the Lakefront Trail. Need smoky barbecue that pairs with a cold craft brew in the West Loop? Soul & Smoke has you covered. Looking for inventive sandwiches worthy of a lunch break in the Loop? The Fat Shallot brings its cult-favorite truffle BLT right to your gate.
Round out the lineup with globally inspired options that keep large crowds moving: 5411 Empanadas bakes Argentinian pockets perfect for strolling the Chicago Riverwalk, while La Comodita dishes out Sicilian street food that feels right at home under the lights of Millennium Park. Whether you’re feeding 500 conference attendees at McCormick Place or 20,000 music fans on Northerly Island, our curated network of Chicago food trucks delivers quick service, restaurant-quality flavor, and Midwest hospitality.
Plan your next large-scale event with Best Food Trucks and give your guests a taste of Chicago’s best on four wheels. We’ll handle the scheduling, permits, and payment system—you enjoy an event that runs smoother than an express train on the CTA Red Line.
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Chicago Vibe
Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests spend their time cheering on the Bears at Soldier Field or catching the headliner at Grant Park—not standing in a food line. With a couple of taps on their phones, attendees place an order, then get a text when their Italian beef po’ boy or elote-loaded fries are hot and ready.
Hosting a packed convention at McCormick Place? Email a pre-order link so 5,000 badge-wearers can choose a specific pickup window before the doors even open. Throwing a summer festival on Navy Pier? Our platform effortlessly processes thousands of rapid-fire orders without breaking a sweat—keeping foot traffic moving smoother than the “L” on a Sunday morning.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Chicago + real-time online ordering = happier crowds and higher sales. Let Best Food Trucks power the eats so your guests can focus on the skyline views and blues riffs that make the Windy City legendary.

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!

Be attentive to ordering apps, so that food is ready in a fair amount of time. And, have To-Go packaging ready for safe transport.
