Cool Stuff You and I Missed

I got a group photo from the organizer of the 2006 New Jersey Hot Dog Tour (you know, the one my husband and I missed the bus for and so we went to Ikea instead). Check these folks out, man. They look like they could learn me a thing or two about hot dogs.

In another news of missed events, the Vendy Awards were yesterday. Yup, at the very moment I was slaving away at my own mobile food vendor cart, people in the know were celebrating the excellence of other mobile food vendors. WNYC announced the winners today (in between pledge drive rambling about free Tony Bennet CDs with a gift of $50), but I was still half-asleep in bed at the time. None of the winners were sausage-related, I do recall that.
