Munch Madness: A Mexican Standoff

You've heard of March Madness, right? Well, this is Munch Madness—Bolingbrook Patch's attempt to find the best restaurant in all of the village.

If there's one thing Bolingbrook's not short on, it's culinary choices.

In fact, there are so many restaurants in Bolingbrook that Bolingbrook Patch had a tough time narrowing the field to just 64 eateries for its first-ever Munch Madness. 

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