Chicago Porkchop

Chicago Porkchop is roaming the streets and - the name basically says it all - serving meats, greens, drinks, and desserts. What is PORKCHOP? It’s the lack of pretense and preening. It’s being uninterested in dress codes, zip codes and trend-chasing. It’s about being comfortable in the corner without paying out the pocket. It’s about having a great night with dear friends or meeting some new ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a Southern truck in Chicago?

The average price range for renting a food truck for catering in Chicago is between $800-$2,500.

You can also use our Food Truck Catering Cost Calculator(see above) to see starting prices in your area (although it will not be cuisine specific).

Prices will vary depending on cuisine, and dessert and beverage food trucks will be less expensive than savory food trucks.

Adding drinks or dessert options (with a savory food truck) will increase the price per person by $1-$5.

If you're having a smaller corporate event of 50 guests or less, you'll probably be affected by the food truck catering minimums, and the price per person will increase.

Typical service times are 2-3 hours. Additional hours will increase total costs. Travel fees can also affect pricing. Food trucks may charge a per-mile fee if your event is outside their normal travel radius (20-30 miles).

How do I get pricing, availability, and catering packages for Southern food trucks near me?

If your event details are confirmed and your budget meets the minimum (see above), you can get catering packages and quotes by submitting a catering request. Click any of the Get Started buttons on this page.
