The Vendys is just days away. Tickets are still available for purchase here. It’s seriously the greatest day of the year. In anticipation, I’m producing short videos on each of the nominated vendors. Here are four more nominees:
The GoGo Grill
Down at the southern tip of Manhattan, two friends decided to re-invent street food for any dietary restriction. The GoGo Grill always has a huge line at Bowling Green for their weekday lunches of salads, burgers, falafel, eggplant, and more. And everything is homemade, including the English muffins used for the sandwiches.
Zha Pan Asian
I already wrote about these amazing Asiancini (Asian rice balls) last week. But now meet the guys behind the concept. They’re inventive (and delicious food) has earned them a Market Vendor of the year nomination.
Dough
This is a bold statement, but I truly believe Fany Gerson and the crew at Dough are frying up the best doughnuts in the country. They’re large, yeasty, airy, and just incredible. I normally stay away from dough bombs, but these Dessert nominees are impossible to resist.
Shanghai Sogo
Benjamin Wang has worked at high end restaurants like Nobu before bringing his concept of fresh, restaurant-quality Asian tapas to the streets of New York. Shanghai Shogo turns out fresher food than you find at most restaurants. They’re a Rookie of the Year nominee.
