The Vendys at 10

A decade ago, when the Street Vendor Project staged its first culinary competition inside an East Village garage, food carts-to many New Yorkers-meant a cup of Joe or a hot dog. Today, the Vendy Awards are an annual event that have been adopted by three other cities-Philadelphia, New Orleans and Los Angeles-and the contestants here are serving up everything from dosas and carne asada tacos to eggplant sandwiches and empanadas to vegan doughnuts and French crepes.
