Munch Madness!

You've heard of March Madness. It's competitive, but not always tasty. Now, welcome to Munch Madness: competitive and tasty. We'll pit 64 local restaurants against one another to determine the champion of the local dining scene. On March 17, we'll post our bracket in the paper and online. Rounds 1 and 2 will take place March 18-21 (we'll skip the play-in game), and you'll be able to cast your vote online. Of course, there will be a forum for you to argue vociferously with others. We're fashioning ourselves after March Madness, after all. Following rounds will correspond with March Madness games.
The first steps are determining who gets a ticket
to the dance and seeding the restaurants. You can help. Let us know
which restaurants you feel absolutely, positively must participate in
the tournament. These can be anything from the most expensive
restaurant in town to the tiny mom-and-pop on your corner. We want to
hear who's deserving and why. Post your suggestions in the comments section here, or let us know on Twitter. I'm @devrafirst. Be sure to tag your suggestions #munchmadness.Who gets to play? Who will make it to the Final Four? And who will take the crown? In Munch Madness, it's up to you.
