Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools and Campuses
From the towering halls of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park to the lively quad at DePaul in Lincoln Park, Chicago’s campuses know that nothing draws a crowd like a great food truck lineup. Best Food Trucks makes school food truck catering in Chicago effortless, whether you’re feeding a CPS high-school pep rally, a Northwestern alumni weekend, or a routine weekday lunch rush. Our locally focused service connects your students and faculty with the city’s most talked-about mobile kitchens, turning any school event into a true taste of Chicago.
Using our best-in-class online ordering platform, hungry Blue Demons, Phoenixes, and Ramblers can skip the cafeteria line, order ahead on their phones, and pick up fresh meals in minutes—no more juggling cash or waiting in endless queues. We handle all scheduling, permitting, and vendor coordination, so your administrators can focus on education while we handle the eats.
Craving bold Latin flavors? Book La Cocinita Chicago for arepas that rival anything on 26th Street. Need smoky barbecue to fuel the homecoming crowd? Soul & Smoke brings South Side soul food and championship-level brisket straight to your parking lot. For gourmet sandwiches that disappear faster than a Lake Shore Drive summer, invite The Fat Shallot. Add hand-held Argentinian favorites from 5411 Empanadas, or give students a Sicilian street-food lesson they’ll never forget with La Comodita.
Whatever the occasion—field day at Lane Tech, finals-week fuel at UIC, or a Friday night football game in the suburbs—Best Food Trucks delivers the perfect mix of Chicago food trucks for schools. Partner with us and elevate campus dining with the Windy City’s best on wheels.
Matt,
Your crew crushed it all year. From our Friday-night football games in Bridgeport to the spring carnival on the Lake Shore campus, Best Food Trucks kept our students and staff fed and smiling. Thanks for proving once again why you’re Chicago’s go-to team for school food truck catering!
