On February 15, 2009, Delaney launched a web video series titled 'VendrTV'. The program consists of tightly edited three-to-five-minute episodes which individually highlight a street vendor from different US cities.[3] The show is shot in high definition in a Food Network-style of videography.[4] Delaney and VendrTV were featured on the October 22, 2009 edition of The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric,[5] as well as in the Los Angeles Times,[6] and USA Weekend.[7]

The show occasionally features celebrity guests, including Jake and Amir of CollegeHumor,[8] and Gary Vaynerchuk.[9]

The intro sequence was made by Eden Soto,[10] responsible for most of Revision3's motion graphics.[2][11]

Brisketlab & Delaney Barbecue edit

In April 2012, Delaney launched Brisketlab, a barbecue recipe development series in New York City. Using email marketing and social media, Delaney was able to pre-sell 3,200 lbs of brisket in 48 hours at $25 per lb via online sales.[12] The pre-ordered meat became redeemable at his Brisketlab series which launched in May 2012, and took place in locations like rooftops and cemeteries.[13][14]

Following much interest from Brisketlab, Delaney announced that he would transition the concept to a restaurant called BrisketTown.[12] The restaurant opened on November 15, 2012 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and has received much acclaim, including Best Breakfast in NYC from New York magazine[15] and a Time Out New York Food & Drink Award.[16]

On April 19, 2012, Delaney opened SmokeLine, his second location, in The High Line park in Chelsea.[17][18][19]

On June 18, 2013, Zagat announced that Delaney would join their 2013 30 under 30 list.[20]
