 Back in October, we told you about Eat St. asking for video submissions from vendors to be on their program.  The response has been excellent, and now it’s time for you to vote for your favorites.

Click through to find out which vendors submitted videos and how to vote for them.  There are a few local vendors, so make sure to support our hometown favorites.

“The secret to creating something memorable is often as simple as pairing unexpected flavors that really hit it off,” says Dave Hirschkop, owner of Dave’s Gourmet (www.davesgourmet.com), maker of award-winning sauces.

“It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated,” he says. “If you mate ingredients that have chemistry, you’ll blow your guests away.”

If you’ve already created that blow-em-away recipe – the sauce that’s the hit at every gathering – it could win you up to $1million in royalties in Dave’s Gourmet Recipe Challenge.

We received an email from Eat St. telling us about their first ever Vendor Video Contest. Vendors can win a chance to be filmed for an Eat St segment, with a little help from their friends.

Eat St. is encouraging street food vendors to submit a short video of their cart or truck in the Eat St. Video Contest!  Just tell them a little bit about your cart or truck and your food to enter the contest, then let your fans and customers vote your way to glory.

No video equipment? No problem. Take a quick video clip with your phone.  Videos are all about the content, not the video quality.

To enter the contest…

Mexicue has been running recipe contests every season focused on one seasonal ingredient, from corn to cheddar cheese to butternut squash.  And the winning recipe is put on the Mexicue menu for a while.

The most recent recipe contest was just announced, and it’s…bacon.  Everything tastes better with bacon, so this should be quite a contest.

Below is the Fall Contest winner and their tasty creation – a taco with butternut squash, cilantro lime crema, tortilla strips, spicy slaw and cotija cheese.  Can’t wait to try one!

A little while ago, we told you that in addition to a new store, Mexicue was coming out with a second truck.

In order to differentiate the trucks from each other (and to give us something fun to do), they are holding a contest to name the Mexicue trucks.

The person who comes up with the winning names gets a free taco or slider every day for a year!  That’s a lot of tacos and sliders.
