Dessert Vendys 'Scoop': We Got the Nominees
Sugar rush fans, unite and rejoice. The Vendys are going to have a dessert category this year. Given the proliferation of dessert trucks in the last year, this makes total sense. Here are the nominees:
Treats Truck (Kim Ima)

Dessert Truck (Jerome Chang/Chris Chen)
www.desserttruck.com
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream (Ben Van Leeuwen)
www.vanleeuwenicecream.com
Wafels and Dinges (Thomas DeGeest)
www.wafelsanddinges.com
Given the hipster-ethnic mix of the savory Vendys, it's more than a little curious that no ethnic dessert cart or truck is a dessert Vendy nominee. Surely there's a paleta cart or a churros vendor worthy of Vendy consideration. I guess there's always next year.
