Daniel Delaney: What's up cartivores, Dan Delaney here, as you guys know I travel the world searching for awesome street food. See, we’re New York City partnering with the Blog, This Is Why You're Fat, to go around to some of our favorite food vendors and see what outlandish creations they have come up with. So stay tuned, this is VendrTV.
Alright, so the deal is we’re going around to six tooter-powered trucks and see what's they're dishing out. Wafels and Dinges is number one.
Alright, so this is the creation that Wafels and Dinges had put out. We got a two liege waffles, there's some ice cream, whip cream on top of this, chocolate syrup and graham cracker across. Let’s give it a shot. Oh, my God what am I doing? It’s ridiculous. You got hot and cold. There's -- there's like rich vanilla, super rich chocolate, whip cream that gets all over and then like white and baker’s sugar and I feel like, like a -- its ridiculous but its absolutely delicious. I can't eat much more because I’ll get too fat so, onward to the next stop.
Alright, the stop two is the Cupcake Stop. They're doing a cinnamon roll and it’s massive. This is there size of their normal cupcake. This is the size of their cinnamon roll. There's a -- there's a cream cheese icing on top. Let’s give it a shot. Cinnamon is nothing on this. Really rich and creamy and cinnamony and then that cream cheese icing just kind of like goes over the top and it adds a second layer of its sweetness. It’s fantastic. It’s awesome but can't eat it all. Off to next stop.
Alright, we’re at stop three which is the Bistro Truck. Let’s check it out. Alright, here’s the deal. Two burgers, we got a fried egg, mortadella, there’s some American cheese on there, caramelized onions, their own sauce which looks to me like alley plus like lettuce and tomato and everything else. Let’s give this a shot. Oh, my God. It’s the egg. Bite Laura, big bite. No, that’s big, big. Come on, come on, come on. Oh, you got the whole mortadella. What do you think ?
Laura: It’s really good.
Daniel Delaney: There really good. It’s really good. This is ridiculous. This is intense. There are obvious amounts of flavor going on right now. We get the silky kind of smooth thing from the egg, the mortadella adds like saltiness, a salty component, plus there’s pork and pork is delicious and then you got the beef that like rich kind of beef thing. Caramelized onions and a little bit of sweetness but they also have the tart component and then they had this just like aioli sausages, it adds like a vinegarinesss, a sweetness. This is incredible. This is -- this is like -- this is all I need to eat for the next week. I like it. Alright, this is great. We have three more stops to cover but we’re going to take a quick break. We’ll be right back.
[Commercial Break]
Daniel Delaney: Alright, we’re back. We’re at the NYC Cravings truck and this is Jessica, the co-creator of this is why you're fat. So, do you know what we have?
Jessica Amason: So we have dumplings, chickens. The dumplings are deep fried. What's this over here? It’s pork.
Daniel Delaney: It’s a deep fried pork, yes.
Jessica Amason: Deep fried pork.
Daniel Delaney: I they got like pork giblets in what not over rice, some greens and deep fried chicken. So, it’s like fried fest.
Jessica Amason: Yes.
Daniel Delaney: Yes. Oh, my God look at this.
Jessica Amason: Alright.
Daniel Delaney: The pork there’s like sweet rich, deep flavors to it. Alright this is delicious. We have two more carts to go to so, onward.
Alright, this is the Treats Truck, this is why you're fat thing, it’s like cookie nachos. Got two different two types of cookies like cookie crumbles, there's whip cream and sprinkles. I think it’s massive.
Look at that. So much is going in Kim’s Treats Truck creation. We got two different types of cookie rice crispy creams, whip cream, hot chocolate syrup, like jimmies sprinkles and such. It’s crazy. There's even like ginger bread in there, absolutely delicious. It’s basically like everything on the Treats Truck in one container. Total winner in my book.
Alright, so this is our final stop where the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream truck. And they made this wonderful sundae. They got these artisan brownies, their vanilla, bean ice cream. There's some walnuts on there. Little bits of chocolates, some home made whip cream and a sour cherry. Give this a shot.
This is really delicious and calling it balance is an understatement. I thought that the chocolate brownie was going to overwhelm the scene, not the case. It’s really high quality brownie not overly sweet. You can still taste the vanilla bean inside of the ice cream which is really nice. You got the nice sort of a sour component, the sweet sourness from the black cherry that’s on top. And a good bite of walnuts add sort like a fatty kind of nutty bits in the whole deal. Really delicious. I love it.
