Daniel Delaney was once the Twitter personality Ritenhouse Square, that social-media experiment that Philebrity covered months ago. Already quite tired of impersonating parks, Delaney has moved on to a new adventure — a web-based video series called VendyTV. “VendyTV runs parallel with the Rittenhouse project,” he says. “It uses technology to develop community around things don’t have that much community. They are small businesses and can do so well by getting some love. I think street vendors are an important niche to shed some light upon”.
And so became VendyTV. Vendy TV sets out to cover the best curbside cuisine the world has to offer. That’s right, the world. “If you take my love of food and mix of love of entrepreneurship you get VendyTV,” says Delaney. “I have been cooking for many years and dine out at the drop of a hat. I like to try as many foods as I can get my hands on. I also want to break the stigma around street food. It is not dirty food, it is great food made by hard working people.”
The VendyTV crew has over a handful of upcoming shoots — some in Philly as well as NYC — which they are encouraging their Facebook followers to show up for. Vendy TV launches this Sunday with its very first video podcast and the debut of the finished site, something that Delaney is not taking lightly, “The launch is the scary thing because we made a commitment to put out a podcast every week. Now we have to follow through with great content on a regular basis. We are very pleased and very nervous, it’s like going in for the first kiss.” Vendy may be heartbroken, however, when they find out that the Salt Pepper Ketchup guys already got there first.
