Fill Out a Munch Madness Bracket, Win a Gift Card on Patch

Welcome to Munch Madness—the bracket-style tournament to find the best restaurant in Darien, Downers Grove, Lemont and Woodridge! 

Munch Madness runs along the same lines as the much-hyped college basketball tournament, except it uses restaurants instead of college basketball squads. 

That's right, 64 restaurants all vying for top status in the county. 

How do they advance, you ask? It all depends on your vote! To learn more about the tournament .

Restaurants will be grouped into four geographical regions: the Darien Region, the Downers Grove Region, the Lemont Region and the Woodridge Region. 

Print out the pdf version of the bracket and fill it out to your specifications and send it back to Editor Melissa Tussing at melissat@patch.com.

Editor's Note: If you would like to fill out a bracket but do not have the capability to print and scan a copy, please email Editor Melissa Tussing at melissat@patch.com to receive a Microsoft Excel worksheet that you can fill out electronically and send back. 

The person with the most matchups guessed correctly will win a $50 gift certificate to the Final Four restaurant of their choosing! Each game is worth one point. In the event of a tie, a random bracket will be chosen.

Readers have until March 27 at 10 p.m. to turn in their bracket.

More rules and regulations:

• To determine the winner, we will add up the total number of games guessed correctly. Each game is worth one point.
• If two or more people tie for the most points, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner of the gift card.
• Only one entry allowed per person. All participants must be 18 years or older.
