Tri-State foodies, are you ready for MENU MADNESS?! This food competition, brought to you by Robert John & Associates, is unlike anything you've ever seen or tasted before.

With your help, we are going to put 32 signature dishes from 32 local restaurants in a head-to-head battle, competing for your votes, and competing for pride on both sides of the river.

At the end of each round, "teams" will be eliminated, the bracket will get smaller, and new voting will commence. 

MENU MADNESS begins with 32 dishes (entrees, appetizers, sides, drinks, and even desserts). We're calling the next round the "Sweet & Savory 16" which will give way to the "Elite Treat 8,"  followed by the "Flavorful Final 4", and lastly the "Tasty Two" will fork off in the Regional Championship battle.

There will also be a special ‘overtime’ round, which will pit the favorite Indiana menu item against the winning Kentucky menu item. Your votes will determine which side of the river reigns supreme.

Help Us Fill Out the Brackets

This is the part where we need YOU to get involved. We are looking for restaurant owners, managers, fans, etc to submit their best signature menu items between now and March 10. We are looking for creative signature dishes that you can't find anywhere else in the tri-state! Boring burgers and plain pizzas just won't cut the mustard. We are looking for blinged-out burgers and pizza with pizzazz!  Remember, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks are all welcome to compete. The submission form is below.
