The Vendy Awards are time when people come together to eat and drink amazing culinary delights prepared by the cities finest food trucks. After you sample everything, you vote! Just my kind of event. They are hosted and originated by the non-profit Street Vendor Project in New York city, and their success has spread nationwide. This was Philadelphia's third awards, and I finally got to be apart of it! This year, it took place in scenic Penn Treaty Park.

| I got a delicious braised meatball from Foo, but it was their truck art that impressed me most. |

| Deep fried cheese curds from The Cow and the Curd were outstanding gooey crunchy morsels. |

| Nothing like a cold ale to pair with all this food on a hot day. |
