Philadelphia Vendy Awards scheduled for July 9

Street-food showcase and cookoff competition The Vendy Awards, which started in NYC in 2005, is coming to Philly for the first time ever on Saturday, July 9, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Piazza at Schmidts. The event, which will benefit The Food Trust, is currently accepting competitor nominations from eaters (deadline is June 10); the eight to 10 mobile operations that earn the most noms will vie for the title of top street-food purveyor in the city. Last year, three local competitiors (Honest Tom's, Denise's Soul Food and the Birchrun Hills Farm's Birchrun on a Roll) competed in New York, but at this even the landscape will be fully Philadelphian. Tix are now on sale.

We've gotta ask, Meal Ticketers: Who are you going to nominate to compete for the coveted Vendy Cup? Leave your picks in the comments.
