Food Truck Catering for Chicago Campuses
From Lake Shore Drive to the far-south suburbs, Chicago schools run on tight schedules—and hungry students. Best Food Trucks makes food truck catering for Chicago schools as smooth as an express Brown Line ride. Whether you’re feeding a CPS high-school pep rally, fueling DePaul undergrads between classes, or hosting an alumni weekend at UIC, our on-campus food truck program keeps lines short and stomachs full.
Our best-in-class online ordering platform lets students and faculty place orders on their phones, then grab their meals faster than you can say “Go Cubs Go.” No more chaos at lunch bells or endless queues in the cafeteria—just hot, fresh food handed out curbside.
Because Chicago’s taste buds are as diverse as its neighborhoods, we curate a lineup of local favorites. Craving Venezuelan arepas? Book the vibrant red La Cocinita Chicago. Need smoky barbecue that would make the South Side proud? Soul & Smoke brings the ribs. For gourmet sandwiches worthy of a Loop power lunch, count on The Fat Shallot. Add piping-hot Argentinian empanadas from 5411 Empanadas, or let La Comodita roll up with Sicilian street eats that’ll transport students straight to Palermo.
Dietary restrictions? We’ve got options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and nut-free diets—perfect for the diverse needs of Chicago’s student population.
From Friday night football at Lane Tech to spring carnivals in Evanston, let Best Food Trucks handle scheduling, permitting, and vendor selection, so you can focus on creating an unforgettable campus experience. Elevate your Chicago school dining with food truck catering that’s fast, flavorful, and unmistakably local.
Matt,
Your team knocked it out of the park for us again this school year. From our North Side field day to the senior picnic on the Lakefront Trail, Best Food Trucks kept our students and staff fueled and smiling. Thank you for making food truck catering for Chicago schools so easy and delicious!
