"This is kind of like a second coming for street food in New York. This sort of wide-range cuisine has actually been going on since the early 80s, but it was just wasn't really covered en mass until the Internet." [1:40] -- Siobhan Wallace on Eat Your Words

"Seeing the level of interest that people are taking in some of these smaller street vendors has been one of the most awesome experiences." [7:40] -- Alexandra Penfold on Eat Your Words
