A new menu item
At the Vendy Awards we featured a new treat… a home-brewed Mexican hot chocolate over vanilla ice cream, with a bit of whipped cream on top. We called it the “Affogayto Mexicano.” It really turned out great, with one small hitch; we couldn’t keep it as warm as we wanted. Well, the hitch is solved- [...]
A Choinkwich You Can Cuddle
Our friend Alicia – who previously made us a great crocheted BGICT cone – just made us a perfectly crocheted (and knitted) Choinkwich. Is that not the most adorable thing ever?! If you didn’t check out her store the last time around, take a second and do it now. I know that I’ll be doing [...]
Vendys – Final post today
I could go on and on posting the happy minutiae from yesterday, but I think I’ll just end on a high point. When Jacques Torres appeared for the second time he stormed into the truck. He roared out the window, and our line burst into cheers for him. Happily, Sam Oppenheim caught this fun snap [...]
Vendys – The Line
Check this out… our line extends from the truck, on the extreme left, all the way to the other side of this photo. We tried to not think about it too hard, we just worked as fast as we could. At least the alien ships from “Men In Black” didn’t start zapping us! Here’s the [...]
Vendys – Written
Our full-time preparation mode began a few days before The Vendy Awards. Bryan took two days off from work to shop, prepare toppings and caramelize bacon. Friday night we brewed hot chocolate, and finally tucked ourselves in at about 3am. We were up at 5:30am to pack our rental car full of food and equipment. [...]
Vendys – We Got The Beets
The only thing that bummed me out yesterday is that we were too busy to eat around. A plate of food was sent over from Schnitzel and Things. When I finally had time to munch it, four hours later the chicken, potato salad, and beets were still fantastic. Schnitzel “beet” us for the rookie award, [...]
Vendys – Stolen Kisses
The only time we stopped serving yesterday captured! Jacques Torres appeared at the back of the truck. I leaned out and told the folks in line that he was with us, and that I wanted a picture, and everyone yelled “go!!” Thank you for your indulgence, people. Jose snapped this. Little did we know that [...]

Vendys – Big Gay Ice Cream Team
Our buddies Devin, Jose, and Karen were drafted into our Big Gay Team yesterday. They prepped food, ran sample trays and menus around, helped work out press needs, and were our liasons to the other trucks. We were grateful to have their help and friendship. Jose knows his food trucks… maybe you’ve seen him around. [...]
