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.
That's right, 64 Bolingbrook restaurants, all vying for top status in the village.
Now we're not egotistical enough to tell you what restaurants you do and don't like. That's why we're letting you decide which eateries take home Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four and Bolingbrook Champion honors.
You eat there. You vote. You decide which restaurant could be the champ.
