Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Chicago Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting on the sound stages at Cinespace, setting up in the West Loop, or filming a commercial along the vibrant Chicago Riverwalk, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering in Chicago that keeps cast and crew fueled and on schedule. Our local team lives and breathes the city’s food scene, so we know how to satisfy even the most persnickety eaters while respecting tight union-timed meal breaks.
We’ll collaborate with your production coordinators to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best curbside spots for quick service—even on those tricky side streets around Goose Island—and streamline online ordering and pickup. All vendors are vetted for City of Chicago health permits and insurance, and we’ll give you a clear cost analysis that fits your budget.
Picture starting Monday with Venezuelan arepas and patacones from La Cocinita Chicago, Tuesday’s lunch break filled with smoked brisket and mac from Soul & Smoke, and mid-week energy boosted by gourmet sandwiches courtesy of The Fat Shallot. Wrap up the week with baked Argentinian classics from 5411 Empanadas and a taste of Sicily via La Comodita. Rotating flavors keep morale high and stomachs happy, while food truck catering helps Chicago studios cut down on food and packaging waste.
From pre-dawn call times in Pilsen to late-night shoots in the Loop, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime. Chicago studio food truck catering has never been easier—or more delicious.
Supporting Chicago’s Independent Food Truck Owners
Booking a food truck for your studio set does more than feed hungry gaffers and talent—it pours money right back into Chicago’s neighborhood economy. Almost every truck we work with is run by a South Side family, a Northwest Side couple, or a solo chef who cut their teeth in restaurants from Pilsen to Portage Park. When you roll one up to Cinespace or a River North soundstage, you’re helping a local small-business owner keep cooking.
Food trucks are also a greener choice for on-location catering. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, trucks consume far less energy than diesel-powered kitchen trailers and create minimal packaging waste—something our Lake Michigan shoreline will thank you for. Add in our streamlined online ordering that eliminates paper tickets, and you’ve got an eco-friendly meal plan that still hits every union timing rule.
So the next time you’re Googling “studio food truck catering Chicago” or “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the bland boxed lunches. Call Best Food Trucks and give your production a hyper-local, socially responsible flavor boost.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

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!
