Kicking off on May 31st in Singapore, this is a congress you'll actually approve of, bringing the planet's finest street-food slingers together for a massive, ten-day chow-fest.Preceding all the gorging, there'll be two days of noted speakers (such as Anthony Bourdain) waxing lyrical about the best carts.

Denmark will be reminding everyone that they used to be Vikings with this pork-belly sando.From India, there's this insane-looking Bhel Puri, which is made from puffed rice and some kind of pastry-shell witchcraft. The native talent will be providing this Putu Mayam -- and no, they didn't just diss your mom. It's actually a weird sweet/savory thing that mixes rice noodles, sugar, coconut, and chicken curry. Finally, Thailand will be bringing in dessert with these fried banana fritters, because every congress needs to fritter something.
