This is always an incredible event and this year, with the addition of the dessert category it seems like it is an even better bang for your buck. Finalists, judges, and ticket sales are all on the website. http://streetvendor.org/vendys/ Yum Wed Oct 08 09:43:27 -0700 2008 13903 prdct 1 4090740 wow, tickets are expensive Wed Oct 08 10:31:08 -0700 2008 4090623 231300 anthonyc 2 4091085 It's a fundraiser for their not for profit organization -- and a cheap one at that!

Not to mention it is always a really great time. Fri Oct 10 09:55:34 -0700 2008 4090740 13903 prdct 3 4095819 and tax deductible. Hopefully the Biryani Cart has a good showing, I love those guys.
