I sampled a wafel with strawberries and dulce de leche. It was absolutely delicious.

A major highlight from the 2009 Vendy Awards — “The Choinkwich” from the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. Yep, that’s a chocolate ice cream sandwich with caramelized bacon. It was freaking delicious!

I’ve been to every one since it started in 2005. I have planned vacations around the Vendy Awards, because I do not want to miss it — quite simply it is my favorite annual NYC event. And it’s all for an amazing cause — the Street Vendor Project.

I made the tofu patties by combining extra firm tofu, bread crumbs, onion, red pepper and jalapenos. As for spices, I mixed in lots of pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper. I cooked them up on a Foreman Grill. The condiments: chipotle mayo (made with mayo, chipotles in adobo sauce, lemon juice and pepper), as well as avacado, onions and tomato. The buns came from a good bakery. It was veggie burger heaven.
