I’ve spent the last few weeks documenting the nominees for the Vendy Awards. It’s been exciting and rewarding meeting the hard working vendors and tasting their delicious food.

SADLY, BIÁN DANG IS NOW CLOSED. One of the more unique food trucks in the city is Bián Dång which specializes in Taiwanese pork chops and fried chicken. You can have a full-on pork tasting menu when you top your tender pork chop with their special tangy pork sauce. You’ll be shocked at how much …
SADLY, TRINI PAKI BOYS IS NOW CLOSED. Forget hot dogs. Halal food is probably the most ubiquitous food from food carts today.

People often ask me which truck is my favorite. But that’s almost an impossible question. Every one is so different and offers food that is distinct and delicious. But I do always admit I have a big soft spot in my heart for Wafels & Dinges, which is the grand finale of just about all …
Anybody who eats street meat in New York knows the most common type is halal food, brought over by the numerous and diverse immigrants in the city over the last few decades.
