Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studio Sets
From the soundstages at Cinespace to on-location shoots along the Chicago River, Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding hungry Windy City film crews quickly and efficiently. We’ll partner with your production team to create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew energized, choose the best curb space for service (yes, we know every permit nuance from Pilsen to the West Loop), and streamline online ordering so your A.D. never misses a take. Our detailed cost analysis is built around Chicago union meal-break rules, ensuring you stay on schedule and on budget.
Because we work exclusively with fully licensed local vendors, you can treat your crew to Chicago favorites without the stress. Picture a Latin feast from La Cocinita Chicago, smoky brisket sandwiches from Soul & Smoke, or a late-night craft-services spread featuring signature melts from The Fat Shallot. Craving something different tomorrow? How about golden empanadas from 5411 Empanadas or Sicilian arancini from La Comodita. Food truck catering also slashes food and packaging waste—good news for green-minded productions and Chicago’s sustainability goals.
Let Best Food Trucks handle every bite of your studio catering in Chicago, so you can keep the cameras rolling and the crew smiling.
Backing Chicago’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Chicago studio set isn’t just smart logistics—it’s an investment in the city’s neighborhood entrepreneurs. Most of the trucks we deploy are owned by South Side families, West Loop start-ups, or second-generation chefs who prep right here in Cook County commissaries. Every gyro, taco, or pierogi you order keeps revenue circulating from Pilsen to Rogers Park and helps Chicago’s indie culinary scene thrive.
Mobile kitchens are also an eco-friendly win for film and TV productions. Because food is cooked to order inside compact, energy-efficient rigs, trucks consume far less power and water than traditional buffet catering and create minimal packaging waste. Many of our Chicago partners even run on biodiesel or renewable natural gas, shrinking your on-set carbon footprint without shrinking your crew’s appetites.
So when your production coordinator searches “studio food truck catering Chicago” or “low-budget film catering near me,” remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll deliver crowd-pleasing meals, keep you on schedule, and let you support local small businesses—rolling proof that good food and good karma can share the same curb.

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!

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.
