Jesse Vendley

It’s Cinco de Mayo, and The Takeaway wants to go beyond beer and tortilla chips to talk about what should really be on your plate if you’re celebrating tonight. Helping us with the task are Jesse Vendley and Peter Oleyer. Along with Jesse's brothers Brian and Dave, they are the co-owners of Calexico, one of the east coast's most famous food carts and winner of the 2008 New York Vendy Award.

See Jesse and Peter's tasty and simple Cinco de Mayo menu. Try out the recipes and send us a photo of the result on our Facebook page!

Food street vendors, Jesse Vendley of “Calexico Carne Asada”, Fauzia Abdur-Rahman of “Heavenly Delights” and Mohammed Rahman of “Kwik Meal" talk about their savory samplings at tomorrow's cook-off competition, the 4th Annual Vendy Awards.
