What’s the Best Signature Dish in Western KY & Southern IN? [Menu Madness: Round 3 Halftime Report]

We've teamed up with Robert John & Associates to bring you the first-ever MENU MADNESS. The food competition has officially begun, and we are officially in ROUND 1. Thirty-two teams all battling it out to go on to the next level of voting.

How MENU MADNESS Works

The competition is set up as a bracket-style tournament, just like the ones so many of us fill out this time of the year. Each dish needs to get enough votes to beat its opponent and advance to the next round. Following the opening round of 32, we move to the "Sweet & Savory 16," which leads to the "Elite Treat 8,"  followed by the "Flavorful Final 4", and lastly the "Tasty Two."

Round 3 - HALFTIME REPORT

We kicked off voting yesterday and round one ends tomorrow at midnight so we wanted to give you a "half-time report." We aren't giving specifics but the bold restaurant is in the lead for that match-up. KEEP SCROLLING TO VOTE!

At the end of the tournament, when there is only one dish standing, we will have a special ‘overtime’ round, which will pit the winning Indiana dish against the winning dish from our sister station in Kentucky. Then there will be one final vote to see which dish (and which side of the river) reigns supreme!
