Was anyone there to see the winner crowned? The Best Halal lamb was decadent and rich like a naughty secret, but my vote went to Thiru, the dosa man.

Maybe my "vote" is colored - I'm jaded by knowing that I can have tasty wurst any time, with beer, in seated, indoor comfort - but knowing that he has a professional-grade location for storage and prep makes it seem like a different breed. (Tho' I'm sure he would argue that having a restaurant kitchen doesn't make the rain stop coming down on him and his cart when the weather is bad.)
