From Portillo's to Al's Beef, this is the sandwich that defines Chicago. Our food truck vendors bring authentic Italian beef to events across the Loop, West Loop, and beyond.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese
Elevated grilled cheese trucks serve creative combinations—smoked gouda with caramelized onions, brie with fig jam, and cheddar with bacon on sourdough. Comfort food that appeals to every guest at your River North corporate lunch or Lincoln Park birthday party.
Tortas & Latin Sandwiches
Chicago's vibrant Latin food scene extends to sandwich trucks serving tortas, cemitas, and Cuban pressed sandwiches. Loaded with seasoned meats, avocado, and pickled jalapeños on telera rolls, these sandwiches bring Pilsen and Little Village flavor to events city-wide.
Club & Deli-Style Subs
Classic deli subs stacked with premium meats, fresh vegetables, and house-made spreads on artisan bread. Turkey clubs, roast beef stackers, and veggie options provide crowd-pleasing variety for corporate lunches in the Loop and employee appreciation events in Naperville.
