Congrats!

WE’VE SELECTED YOU TO BE IN OUR 7TH ANNUAL MUNCH MADNESS TOURNAMENT!

Every March, we enter 64 of the best regional eats in the toughest tournament of tasty in the nation. It’s just like March Madness (with more yum, less Charles Barkley). We’ve created a bracket with head-to-head battles where fans make their picks on who should be crowned 2019’s best regional dish in America.

AN EPIC FOOD FIGHT UNLIKE ANY OTHER

This is the showdown between iconic local legends vs. “new-school” icons-in-the-making. Over the next three weeks, brackets will get busted, under (hot) dogs will rise and top-seeded bagels will shine–an epic food fight unlike any other.

This year’s tournament is one of the most competitive we’ve ever seen. After three rounds of voting, one shining regional food will be crowned 2019’s Munch Madness champion. Make sure that champion is YOU. Victory… can you taste it?
