Red Hook’s El Olomega wins Vendy Cup after a Vendy-licious day in Industry City
BY HEATHER J. CHIN, DENISE ROMANO AND HELEN KLEIN
Thousands ate their way through Industry City on Saturday, September 7 for the ninth annual NYC Vendy Awards—the Oscars of the food vendor world—which was held this year in Brooklyn.
The big winner of the day was Brooklyn/Red Hook’s El Olomega and its owners, Janet and Marcos Lainez, whose traditional, homemade pupusas took home the Vendy Cup—keeping it in the Red Hook Food Vendor family after Piaztlan Authentic Mexican Food won it last year.
