Advance Notice. L.A. Vendy Awards.

No doubt about it: L.A. is a street food town. But who's the best?

Time to judge for yourself, at the L.A. Vendy Awards. A spinoff of an annual competition that originated in New York, this street food cook-off will be making its way out to L.A. for the first time this weekend, and representing our fair city are the India Jones Chow Truck, Hot Dog Kings, Bigmista's Barbecue, Nina's Food, Grilled Cheese Truck and Tacos el Galuzo.

All six finalists were recently nominated in a public vote, so this is the people speaking here! Were they right? Buy your tickets now to sample all the goods for $50 (all proceeds go to charity!), and let us know!

The L.A. Vendy Awards are taking place on Sat. from 4pm-7pm at MacArthur Park, which is located at S. Park View Street between W. 7th and Wilshire Blvd.
