Hot, Customizable Meals for Chicago Studios—Delivered Right on Schedule!
From Cinespace on the Southwest Side to the sound stages tucked away in the West Loop, Chicago’s film crews run on great food. Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting food truck catering for studios in Chicago, so your cast and crew can focus on the next shot—not their next meal. We’ll collaborate with your production team to build rotating daily menus, choose the most convenient curb-side service spots, streamline mobile ordering and pick-up, and verify that every vendor carries City of Chicago permits and insurance. You’ll even get a detailed cost analysis that fits your budget and keeps the bean-counters happy.
Chicago weather is famously unpredictable, but our execution isn’t. Whether you’re breaking for lunch during a frigid Lake Michigan wind or wrapping a late-night shoot in August humidity, our curated lineup of local food trucks serves hot, fresh, and fast. Food trucks also shrink your environmental footprint—less waste, fewer disposable trays, and zero buffet leftovers heading to a landfill.
Check out a few Windy City favorites we can dispatch to your set:
- La Cocinita Chicago – Venezuelan-inspired Latin street eats that bring Loop regulars running for arepas and pabellón bowls.
- Soul & Smoke – Smoke-kissed barbecue and Southern sides from Chef D’Andre Carter, perfect for warming up a crew shooting on a chilly riverfront location.
- The Fat Shallot – Gourmet sandwiches like their legendary truffle BLT, frequently spotted near Merchandise Mart and ready to feed your art-department army.
- 5411 Empanadas – Baked Argentinian empanadas that travel well to any set—from Pilsen rooftops to North Side alleys doubling as Gotham City.
- La Comodita – Authentic Sicilian street fare dished up with the kind of Midwestern hospitality only Chicago can deliver.
Let Best Food Trucks handle your Chicago studio catering logistics from first call to final wrap. We take the guesswork out of mealtime so you can keep the cameras rolling.
Fueling Chicago’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your studio set isn’t just the tastiest move—it’s an investment in Chicago’s neighborhood economy. From a husband-and-wife tamale truck that got its start at the Maxwell Street Market to the Bronzeville pit-master who smokes brisket in a retrofitted school bus, these rolling kitchens are owned and operated by Chicagoans who live south of 95th, west to Austin, and everywhere in between. Every order keeps revenue circulating in the city, supports union food suppliers, and helps mom-and-pop crews pay rent on their commissary kitchens.
Food trucks also align with the eco-friendly standards many Chicago studios now require. Because meals are cooked to order inside the truck, there’s no need for Sterno pans or single-use buffet trays—cutting down on waste the same way the city cut down the old post-production tax. Plus, modern generators sip far less fuel than traditional catering rigs, shrinking your set’s carbon footprint faster than a CTA Blue Line express.
So the next time you search for “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studios in Chicago,” reach out to Best Food Trucks. We’ll connect you with a socially responsible fleet that makes lunches memorable, keeps local entrepreneurs thriving, and leaves the Windy City just a little greener.

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.
