On February 15, 2009, Delaney launched a web video series titled 'VendrTV'.

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.

Following much interest from Brisketlab, Delaney announced that he would transition the concept to a restaurant called BrisketTown.
