This year they took place on September 26-28 — in the gracious, architectural Millennium Square, slap bang in the heart of Leeds. It was the right place for history to happen. Street food used to be a cool, skinny-trousered thing that you only found in the coolest parts of East London. Not any more. On this sceptered isle of ours, it’s everywhere. In last year’s British Street Food Awards, the prize for Best Street Food Collective went to Bristol – and the Best Street Food Event went to Birmingham. Which is why, for the 2014 British Street Food Awards, supported by Trinity Kitchen, we wanted to make sure we reflected the truly national nature of what’s going on out there. So, for the first time, we held regional heats with the winner (determined by a public vote on the new British Street Food app) getting a Golden Ticket — a guaranteed place to compete in the finals.

The Central Heat, in Birmingham, on May 2 was a top night.

The West and Wales Heat, in Bristol, on May 10 was one heck of a day.

We will forever remember the South Heat, in Brighton, on June 14.

The North Heat, in Manchester, on June 14 was proper

The London Heat, in London, was a triumph on July 19 with Kerb.

The East Heat, in Norwich, rocked East Anglia on July 31

The Scottish Heat, in Edinburgh, was a Festival of a different kind. On August 30, seven inspirational traders served up something really special.

The finals – that have become an end-of-season institution since the Awards were founded back in 2009 – showcased the very best street food talent from across the entire European continent. There was the solar chef from Helsinki. Plus the nutritionist from Vienna. But to keep things fresh, this year we joined forces with the brand spanking new festival For The Love Of Food. The end result was the biggest (and best) street food carnival the world has ever seen. The traders still cooked up a storm to win the public’s vote in the British Street Food Awards. But they did it alongside street food crazy golf, artists at work, vintage caravans on ‘the Yorkshire village green’, reggae sound systems, live reviews of the newspapers from top journalists at the Independent on Sunday, and one truly AMAZING live music performance…

Buddha Belly
Winner Of The Central Heat, Warwickshire
Sai is a third generation street food trader. Her Auntie, back in Thailand, was in the business, but – to begin with – Sai wasn’t convinced. “I didn’t fancy standing outside” she says. After she made it into the final 24 of Masterchef 2012, street food seemed to allow her the opportunity to be her own boss and sell her own menu. So she set up Buddha Belly. Her food is cheffy but, as Thurber said, ‘Seeing is deceiving – eating is believing’. Her chicken is beautifully moist, and her vegan yellow curry, with toasted cumin and coriander seeds, is sweet and comforting. So, for now, she’s happy enough to stand outside. But catch her while you can.

Fu-Schnickens
Winner Of The North Heat, Yorkshire
Fu-Schnickens serve up delicious Guo Bao — handmade Taiwanese steamed buns — from a really simple scaffold rig. Wood cladding, a couple of tables – as basic as it gets. But taste those buns! Filled with hoisin, cashew nuts, sesame, palm sugar, pickled carrot and mouli, they come in three deep, complex flavours — braised pork belly, glazed portabello mushroom (v) and crispy panko chilli chicken. Their reward will be in heaven. Or via reincarnation — not sure how it works in Taiwan.

The Little Blue Smokehouse
Winner Of The South Heat, Kent
The meat? They cure, brine and dry rub it themselves. Then they hot smoke it, with oak. In their own smokehouse. They make their own sauces – some of them hot enough to scare us. And then they serve the whole shebang alongside their own pickles. Some are fermented, some are vinegar. But all are good. Leave space to try some.

The Crabbieshack
Winner Of The London Heat, Kent
With the help of one of his oldest friends, Dougie built the Crabbieshack, inspired by fishermen’s huts from his home town in Folkestone. Resisting the naysayers, he decided to concentrate only on crab, offering soft shell crab burgers with a number of different garnish options. As much as possible he sources his ingredients for his signature crabbie burger from the Kent coast – a soft shell crab, deep-fried in Old Bay batter, garnished with fennel, almonds, harissa and avocado. and served in a brioche bun.

The Cauldron
Winner Of The West And Wales Heat, Devon
The Cauldron Catering Ltd are Al and Hannah James, a pair of country bumpkins who moved to London seven years ago, fell in love with street food and each other, and returned to the West Country to make a living. They know what they’re doing. They buy animals whole, from neighbouring farms, and do the butchery themselves. So the shoulders and belly are used for pulled pork and bang bang wraps, and the loins are brined and cooked over charcoal – that’s charcoal made the old fashioned way without accelerators and chemicals, and sourced from sustainable Devon forestry. “We forage for sorrel, black mustard, dandelion root and whatever else we can pluck from the countryside” says Al. “All our power is supplied from the solar panels on the roof of the van. And all our packaging is 100% compostable. Our mission is to prove that fast food CAN be delicious and ethical and give the towns and beaches in our corner of the world a taste of something different from the usual fish ‘n’ chips and frozen burgers.”

Nusou
Winner Of The Scotland Heat, Lothian
The Nusou truck has no deep fat fryer, grill, oven or noisy generator – just a noodle cooker, soup kettle, six ring burner and deli counter stuffed full of fresh vegetables. Oh, and Derek, a chef with formal restaurant qualifications, rosettes and a Bib Gourmand. “But there’s something about handing your product, exactly as it should be, direct to the customer on the street without it sitting on a hot pass for several minutes shouting ‘service!’” says Derek. “There’s nothing that agitates a chef more than watching his creation slowly die under a hot lamp as it is waiting to be taken away.”

The Original Patty Men
Wildcard, West Midlands
The Original Patty Men have a real Shoreditch look – all beard and tats. They live in a beefed up gazebo called the Meat Mansion, painted up by Birmingham’s finest graffiti artist Gent48. But it’s the togarashi seasoning in their Sumo Burger – especially the chilli powder and szechuan pepper – that gives them the edge. That, plus the wasabi ketchup for heat. And ribboned cucumber, pickled in mirin, for sweetness. Interesting texture. Not piled too high. And a good shot of alcohol off the sake. The finest and filthiest longhorn patties in town? Come on down to For The Love Of Food and find out.

Fresh Rootz
Wildcard, Warwickshire
Fresh Rootz aren’t interested in feeding you with Five A Day. No — they want seven. At least. This world street food collective (well, a couple of friends) set out to find healthy vegetarian food that everyone will enjoy eating. The team have travelled extensively so, when they slide open the door of their VW Camper van, expect to see Mexican-style pakoras, Peruvian ceviche and Colombian empanadas. With a slice of Libyan derna cake for afters.

Dog Town
Wildcard, Essex
These are 100% free-range, rare-breed dogs, hailing from the East Coast, and served up in steamed buns with mad, mad relishes. The veggie alternative is served up with spinach, nuts and seeds — plus tater tots in a cup – so wave bye bye to hot dog event. The brainchild of James Tabor, one of the good guys, Dog Town are definitely one to watch.

Fish&
Wildcard, Yorkshire
Fish& serves the most classic of British fast foods, but with a twist. Lovingly cooked fish and chips out of a van and trailer, this stuff is just too good to wrap in newspaper. With offerings of a lemon, lime and chilli batter, or a masala marinade, your favourite chip shop is sure to be found wanting.

Ahimsa
Wildcard, West Sussex
Harry is one of the best front-of-house operators in the business. Don’t hurry him along while he’s plating up. Not that you’d want to – he’s a delight to watch. ‘Ahimsa’ comes from the Sanskrit language meaning non-violence and non-harming of human and animal life. Yes – Harry’s from Brighton. It’s the right place to promote vegetarianism and the philosophy followed by Mahatma Gandhi. “Coincidentally” says Harry, “my origins are from the same state as Gandhi’s – Gujarat, on the west coast of India”. The best street food Harry has ever tasted was the Pav Bhaji from Ahmedabad — fresh, hot and dripping with butter! “Though noodles in Malaysia come a very, very close second – followed by some amazing dishes we came across on the streets of Cambodia and Singapore”. Wait till he gets to Leeds….

The Moocher
Wildcard, Lancashire
It’s amazing what you can create on an original Sankey Army Field Kitchen — tried and tested by the troops. And it doesn’t have to involve boiled spuds. Not when the chef team bring a range of British, German and Japanese influences to their food – and a love of wild flora and fauna. Think pulled venison with fresh slaw, fermented chilli and real ale vinegar in pide bread, or hot smoked salmon with watercress, wild horseradish, beetroot and chive flower bread. “We try and source as locally and regionally as possible” says Nina, one of the Moocher team. “And that includes going out for rabbits with our lurchers and ferrets”. If they had to give advice to someone starting out in the world of street food, they would say “Stick to your guns. If you believe in your product’s quality then people will support you… and ignore the queue of the burger van”.

Manjit’s Kitchen
Wildcard, Yorkshire
Manjit built her original streetfood cart from the bits and pieces people no longer wanted. Like snooker cues – and the wheels from a child’s old bike. Then she bought a flowery 1980’s Leyland DAF 200 (with a vintage sound system in the back) to tow it along. It was all a bit home-made. But the bhel puris, chapati wraps, and samosas that she sold out the back were touched by the hands of the Gods. And her chai won Best Drink at the British Street Food Awards 2012. “All mixed for you how you like” she says. “With vintage Jamaican music….” She’s upped her game since then, and now trades from her own horse box. But she still dances with the stars.

Dorshi
Wildcard, Dorset
These guys come fresh from their victory at the Young British Foodies. In Tokyo, sushi is an art. But an art with very strict rules. Even the arc described by a piece of fish on top of the sushi rice has a prescribed shape. It should make the same gentle curve as the pages of an opened book when placed on the table. In Dorset, sushi is a bit more relaxed. Thank goodness. Otherwise Dorshi – or Dorset Sushi – wouldn’t exist. It’s made using 100% local Dorset produce including the vegetables, the pearl barley, the cured meats and the smoked fish. Even the spicy horseradish dip and soy sauce (minus the soy!). It’s an education, and makes the whole idea of eating local fun. It would never happen in Tokyo. Which is a shame – even sushi needs to evolve.

Hip Hop Chip Shop
Wildcard, Lancashire
As they like to say “Get rich or die frying” – these Manchester music-mad chefs to put the hip in chip. And they do it out of a massive stainless steel boombox (chosen because it’s looks just like a massive stainless steel boombox). But their sustainable coley is from the classic English fried fish tradition, “and once people taste the food, I think they realise it’s not just style over substance” say the pair.

The Noisy Table
Wildcard, Wiltshire
We love collaborations at British Street Food. Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Ben and Jerry. You know. But this one is something special. Kerstin Rodgers – otherwise known as supper-club queen MsMarmitelover – and street food newcomers The Noisy Table. In a spectacular 1947 Spartan Manor, with a heavily-themed diner menu. We don’t want to spoil the surprise, but Kerstin launched the supper club/pop up/underground restaurant movement in the UK with The Underground Restaurant. Since then, hundreds of supper clubs have sprung up all over the place. She’s part of a new generation of writers and chefs who use social media to promote food via blogging, facebook and twitter. And the collaboration with The Noisy Table promises to be her most exciting project yet….

Monica’s HY Kitchen
Wildcard, Austria
This must be a first. Street food – from a nutritionist. And, mercifully, there’s not a stick of celery to be seen. Monica Waltner is famous in Austria. She tends to the digestion of the rich and famous. But she’s currently in Vienna, working up her entry to the BSFAs. It’s an old recipe, dating back to 1867, from the House of Habsburg. “The dish is still very common today” she says. “I’m calling it the HabsBURGER”. Which is also a first. An Austrian with a sense of humour. Who cares. When Monica is serving up her slow, organic hot dogs or rye bread with truffled blood sausage, there’s no time for the laughing.

Nordic Street Food
Wildcard, Sweden
People used to laugh at Rene Redzepi – the chef at Noma, one of the world’s greatest restaurants. He was a champion of new Nordic food. But some of his fellow restaurateurs nicknamed Noma ‘The Stinking Whale’. Or a lot worse. “There were lots of jokes about us cooking with seals and puffins. You know how chef’s talk. But that didn’t really bother me. Most of the time they were just joking. The funny thing is that what we’re doing is now influencing a lot of them. Infecting their work. That’s a nice feeling.” Jens and Pernilla from Nordic Street Food drive the only food truck in the world to serve new Nordic food, made from Nordic produce. The brand new Peugot, built in Ystad, has an electric motor which can run the fridges without having to plug it in. So they can bring fresh food on their travels. So expect slow-cooked venison (16 hours), sour cabbage with parsley, horseradish cream and sweet and sour lingonberries on flatbread from Jämtland, washed down with Äppelmust and Birchwater, with the taste of elerflower and blueberries. Lucky Leeds.

Antto Melasniemi
Wildcard, Finland
We LOVE Antto Melasniemi. He’s a true individual. Who else would bring a solar-powered kitchen? To Leeds? In September? Our overseas finalist, all the way from Helsinki, came up with the idea as an environmental and gastronomic art project designed to highlight key contemporary themes: a nature-driven process, flexibility and immediacy. Depending on the sun, the nature-driven kitchen could be serving up a solar barbecue — or a salad. So Antto will also be testing people’s flexibility. If it rains, we’ll all have to adapt. Are you up for it?

Here we go. The judges decided. And (in the vote for the People’s Choice) so did the public. This is what it looked like, and here are the full results. Until next year…

Yianni Papoutsis is the godfather of street food in Britain, and the owner of the MEAT chain of restaurants. He started the business from a trailer, in a car park in Peckham, and now he’s expanding everywhere. Including Leeds.

Gaynor Faye is one of the country’s favourite character actresses, best known for playing Judy Mallett in Coronation Street and Megan Macey in Emmerdale. But she loves her food. “There are some people that eat to live – I live to eat!!!” she says. “I can’t wait to get my teeth into the feast on offer in Millennium Square…I love the freedom, the freshness and the simplicity of street food”

Ed Baines is the chef and owner of Randall & Aubin restaurant, champagne and oyster bar in Soho. The tall, dark and handsome restaurateur is regularly on TV and, when not tending to his hair, he’s best known for his role as a judge on ITV’s hugely successful Britain’s Best Dish.

Richard Johnson is the founder of the British Street Food Awards – and the man who, literally, wrote the book on the subject. It was called Street Food Revolution. His company curates the street food offer at Trinity Kitchen, and is developing street food brands for Euston Station and beyond. This winter he’s taking the Eats From The Streets roadshow round the North of England and the South of Scotland.

A Special Guest Appearance at For The Love Of Food

You know him for La La La, featuring Sam Smith. It was a UK No 1 and a bona fide global smash. Its YouTube views currently stand at 350 million (that’s more than Pharrell’s Happy). You know him for UK no 2 album Hotel Cabana. And you know him for his songwriting/production partnership with Emeli Sandé on her multi million selling debut album Our Version of Events – the best selling album of 2012. But here at British Street Food, we know him for his lamb chops. And his way with garam masala. Whenever he’s in the studio, he’ll take a break by going off to cook in his tiny kitchen upstairs. On a Baby Belling. Emeli likes his way with vegetables, and Mary J Blige loves his wraps. Serious. Yes the man is a musical genius (we’ve listened to his production on the One Direction Christmas single, and it’s SICK) but what he does with the keys to the spice cupboard gets us just as excited. And that’s why we’ve invited him to come cook up a storm at the British Street Food Awards at For The Love Of Food in Leeds. Yes, he’ll be DJing too — but open your minds people. Come along on Saturday and taste his shepherd’s pie.

There was a lot going on. An awful lot. This is what it looked like.

Friday 4-10pm

Nusou Street Dance Crew 5-7pm
The Blood Masterz breakdance crew are a team of professional b-boys and b-girls — the best tasting break dancers for hire in the entire town of Horsforth. This lot are a bit different. Fresh? Fo sho. But they always invite up a handful of volunteers to make some shapes. Don’t worry – they won’t get you spinning on your head. Just basic footwork and maybe a freeze or two. Boom?

Queue-aoke
So, what do you do to pass the time when you are queueing up for your favourite street food vendor? How many times can you update your status or tweet about #meatsweats? Well the geniuses at The House of Hot Breath have combined two of the UK’s most beloved pastimes — embarrassing behaviour and standing in line — into the ultimate weapon against queueing boredom: Queue-aoke! Armed with a microphone, a battery powered amp and an iPad on a gold chain, Mike Hot Breath and his one-man karaoke bar will be literally making you sing for your supper as you wait for your food. With Queue-aoke, standing in line has never been so much fun!

Street Food Crazy Golf
With real bowling green surfaces. Except that this little beauty isn’t about Bridges, Tunnels and Windmills. It’s about hitting the ball into Burgers. Or under the BanhMis. Wait and see. You won’t believe your eyes! Nor should you!

Stir It Up
Our favourite vintage classic reggae music played ‘sound system style’ — that’s one deck/one mic. Expect ska, rocksteady and reggae – all on vinyl. Will be ‘background’ throughout the weekend – but never venturing far from Manjit’s Kitchen. Will, however, do 1 hour or 2 hour louder sets — slotted in when we’re feeling the need to mash it up.

Saturday Day 11am-4pm

Nusou Street Dance Crew – 12-3pm

How To Get Started In Street Food – 1.30-2.30pm

Drinking With Yianni – 3.30pm on the stage
The founder of MEATliquor — and the godfather of the street food revolution — in conversation. With you. Come along and ask Yianni Papoutsis anything you like, but you’ll have to let him buy you a drink first. That’s the deal. A cocktail of his choice, shaken by his own personal bartender. Nice. Might be a habanero martini. Might be a pickleback. Might be warm milk and cinnamon. But that last one? Less likely. Yianni is also one of the judges at this year’s Awards. Might be best if he gets his judging done in the morning.

Guest Star
Naughty Boy will be cooking. You probably didn’t know that he cooks. But he does. In the evening, he’ll do what you DO know him for. It might even be as good as his shepherd’s pie. Check this out.

Live Review Of The Papers – 12 noon on the stage
Lisa Markwell, the editor of the Independent on Sunday, chairs this live review of the day’s papers with Jonathan Brown, the IoS’s Northern editor. Because Lisa is also the newspaper’s restaurant critic, this review might just take on a foodie slant. In fact I would stake my lunch on it…
